Yeah, same here - love carbs - I love bread, potatoes (and everything made from it!) and pasta and so on. Not eating carbs is a real sacrifice, but the results are so fast it's still worth it for me.

Most people seem to recommend eating a sturdy breakfast - and several small meals during the day. I hate breakfast though - I think everything tastes like paper when I just woke up :P Still, it could be something to try.

Tips and tricks aside though, I guess it's just about keeping it going. Having support from family and friends. Someone to go to the gym with and reading stuff on the internet really helps keeping the spirit up. Just keep in there and you WILL hit 180, that's a fact.

Doesn't look all that balanced looking at it this way :P Maybe I'll move it around a bit.

I tend to hurt in my left front deltoid. I never go for broke in bench press though, so it shouldn't be a problem but who knows... It doesn't really hurt when doing exercises. It's more of a faint pain that's there all the time. I'm leaning towards a inflammation due to over exertion.
Yeah, look into rolling, it's pretty great. I'd massage the part that hurts, and also areas around the shoulder/scapula. Often the area that's actually tight doesn't hurt directly, but it forces other muscles to overcompensate, or pulls other muscles, and those are the ones that start hurting. Focus on any part that hurts when you roll on them, as those are the trouble spots. The first time will probably have a lot, especially around the scapula, but they'll start to go away after a couple of times. I usually find the most painful points and stay on them for 30 seconds. Don't go too hard on the shoulder socket though, as that could potentially pinch some nerves.

Google and youtube around a bit:
SMR Lacrosse Ball - Pec and Anterior Shoulder - YouTube
SMR Lacrosse Ball - Posterior Shoulder - YouTube

As for exercises, usually after pullups my rows suffer a lot, and vice versa, so I use them as alternating exercises. But if you're focusing on hypertrophy, you probably want to blast muscle groups, so I guess it makes sense.

Indeed, hypertrophy is the goal

Thanks for the tip, I will try the ball mixed in with some new rotator cuff exercises while taking it just a tad easier the next week or two. Hopefully that will get things straightened out.

I don't own scales, but I did a bunch of eating and boozing over the holidays and not a lot of wearing pants. So when I had to go back to work yesterday and put pants back on, they were a bit tight.

So. 20 mins on the elliptical then 2 games of netball. All up just under 2 hours of cardio. I got some making up to do!

Tangentially related, and awesome. Short film about an introverted bodybuilder going on a date.

The movie Teddy Bear is based on that short film, though I haven't seen it yet. It's on Netflix instant.

I managed to acquire a back injury :thumb: Going to see the doc on Monday to see how bad it is.

Not sure how I managed to do it because the past couple of weeks I've mostly been doing technique/balance work with fairly low weight. I don't think I've lifted more than 90kg in like 2 weeks.

Rehabbed my back injury (~2 months), then got back to lifting after April 15th:
