Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness 🔥 (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 2)

Good morning kids :grin:. And happy Labor Day, to my Americanos. I’m still plugging along little by little. Switched over to more of a 3 day a week full body workout instead of a PPL or Upper Lower, and I seem to like this better. At 46 I’ll take all the extra rest days I can get.
I’m seeing an Ortho at the end of September to see about this, (what I think is either a small bicep tear or some type of tendonitis) it’s been months and it won’t go away. I think it’s actually a work injury though . Either way I’m just trying to work around it. Hope yous all are still getting after it. :v:

Hope they get it figured out. Had tendinitis in my right arm that effected me for almost 2 years. The braces helped the pain but the job prolonged it I’m sure.

Good to see you Joe!
Biceps tendinitis going on for a whole year here now. Being out w my shoulder has given it some rest and relief but still it’s sore after anything heavy. A long way from the pull-up routines I was cranking out last year…

Yeah pull ups are out for me too. I can do pretty much all other pulling or curl movements as long as I don’t straighten the arm to full extension. It’s like right where the brachialis is, hurts like hell :rofl:.
I didn’t realize you hurt the shoulder too. When did that happen? Did you get it looked at?

Does anyone use an app to log food to track protein/carbs? If so, any suggestions. Thought I’d give it a try out of interest.

I still use My Fitness Pal. ( The free version). It tells me how many calories to take in, based on the weight I wanna stay at or go up to, and it breaks down your macros. Protein, carbs , and fats

Thank you.

I do! I use Fitness Pal (free version) I am doing Keto so carbs are actually Net Total Grams of Carbs less Grams of Fiber. I think the paid version gives you more options. I also am keeping track of goal percentages of Fat Protein & Carbs Daily. Fitness Pal is working great for me.

Thank you. I started logging my foods via Samsung Health app yesterday which I feel.is very similar to My Fitness Pal. See how I go.

Started doing the NYC Ballet workout about a year ago. Posting for posterity-when I’m sober I guess I synthesize protein a lot better and wake up the third day totally jacked. Something to look forward to.

My new 6-8 week programme is due to commence tomorrow. Here’s hoping after 2 programmes containing Bulgarian Split Squats, my PT is feeling a little empathetic and leaves them off this next programme
