Are you not wanting to do major barbell movements?

I would also say you have too much volume.

Being a newbie to this board I didnt want to say anything. However, Day 1 seems like Hell on Earth.

Do what HFU said.

Or Better yet why not try a beginning strength program like strong lifts, starting strength, greyskull etc? Some type of linear progression program

And Jesus day 1 looks like hell on earth and more could be accomplished with a couple basic barbell exercises, 1 or 2 accessory lifts and some HiiT.

Remind us again where your weight loss journey is again and what your goals are for this, along with your injury history, age and if you have access to a barbell and power cage.

And I don’t want it to come off as rude us picking apart your workout, it’s done only out of love. Many of us have been through stages where we did shite programming and suffered because of it through injuries, palteaus etc. it’s why I always recommend listening to the best coaches in the world when it comes to programming, trust us, they know better than us because they are able to test theories on dozens of trainees and fine tune everything before hand.

Can't do barbell movement since no barbell access. I am not allowed to use weight room until summer plus I don't like them really yet except on Smith

I can't do squats at all just an issue y'all wouldn't understand

The Shoulder day is just probably going to be scaled way back until I get full orthopedic clear. Still concerned about numbness. The rotator cuff issue was worse trying Cybex and rehab first. I am going to second opinion though

I know what I can/can not do but ask to see what you guys recommend then see if can incorporate in part or whole

Trying to cut increase some strength. I have plateaued since July but not gained down 30 since Mar 1st.

That amount of pressing vs your pulling is definitely going to hurt your shoulders more. Would need a bunch more lower trap, rear delt, and scapula work to not have the fron delts completely dominate your back. Not in a good way more of a my shoulders, neck, and shoulder blades are always tight and have no mobility kind of way.

Do you work at a computer much?

You’re doing way too much volume. I can guarantee you don’t nutrition your body correctly like pros do to even make that workout worthwhile.

Not trying to sound like an arse, but being in the gym for 2 hours doing 10 exercises is not how you get bigger.

Maintain strength and cut:

4 exercises only; alternate between 8x8 with 30 sec breaks and 5x12 with 20 sec breaks

HIIT at least 3x per week.

That's alot of coffee Baw.


And I recently read an article that says your pec muscles relative to other muscles in your body are smaller and therefore dont need that many reps. Ill try to dig it up and post it.

I recently tried to make my own workout where I did a total of 60 reps for each exercise spread out between 4-6 sets. 4 exercises per session with some abs worked in.

I wanted to try this because I had seen some serious improvement and gains over the past months in terms of weight progression and muscle mass. It fricking killed me. Inwas truly over training and under nourishing. I was sore for days and not in a good way.

I went back to fewer reps, fewer sets, and more types of exercises. I like it and am again seeing progression in terms of increased weights lifted

Went to try a lateral raise and pop and numbness immediately I actually dropped the dumbbell even

But I rode the bike for 20 minutes after that just out of frustration

I hurt it and had same feeling in August doing Bench tried rest and resistance the school ATC said use light weight and try and if any pain stop. 3 reps in on first set bang
