I feel like a shoulder impingement probably should've solved itself by now if you haven't been lifting at all lately. With most lifting related pains/minor injuries I'd agree with you that lack of movement generally makes things worse but impingements, at least in my experience, tend to be an over-use issue. That being said, I'm not an ortho or a PT. This is just my two cents.

I've been taking their vitamin D for a few years. Expensive but I'd argue worth it.

I've always been a fan of Strong brand sleeves but I also like Evolution Athletics.

I am only doing sets around 375-400, and don't feel like i should be adding straps at this point.

I guess I don't understand why you'd be opposed to using straps. Are you training for some bizarre raw trap bar deadlift meet? I'm assuming the answer is no so what does it matter?

Bread is garbage and will make you fat with the exception being Ezekiel bread. Fruit is loaded with carbs and can be abused without you knowing (watch yourself eating both).

Cardio stops burning fat when you stop the cardio session. Lifting heavy weight tears down tissue which your body then repairs over the course of the next few days raising your resting metabolic rate.

How do y'all come up with this shite? It blows my mind how many people don't have even basic understanding of nutrition or how the body works. Literally nothing you said here is true yet you're giving advice to others? Wtf dude?
