Great pull. That's a lot of work. How long do you think it takes to recover from that?

Great pull. That's a lot of work. How long do you think it takes to recover from that?

The overall volume was pretty low, so I don't foresee any problems. I try to get a lot of sleep, which is the most important
part of recovery. For at least a year and a half I have used no supplements whatsoever, no protein powders or anything.
I don't even eat that much anymore and rarely touch milk. I do take some basic vitamins and fish oil and that's it.
IMHO, the lifting community has been sold a bill of goods about needing high protein consumption and all that nonsense.
My youngest Son thinks I should look into some low dose testosterone, but I would rather not mess with it.
Stay Strong!!

I get your point on the supplements. I have read your better off eating your protein from real food..As for the TRT, I hear good and bad. Some say it's safe, others say it could cause other issues like heart and thickening of blood

Those having had a pause are harder than just dropping down and back up aren't they? Good effort!

No stretch reflex. I'm going to work on pausing them a little longer.

I know what a problem the shoulders can be. The only press for me that is pain free most of the time is the flat bench. Does doing a limited range of motion seem to help avoid the pain? I have read where some use the slingshot to help with pain in the bottom position.
