PS - IMO, your shoulders & arms are not lacking ;) - Good luck!

Might have better luck on BB.com

I have to try this - everytime i try to make protein pancakes, everything falls apart or gets burned.

Also - just an idea to throw out there. Exercises in water. Not sure of what's in/around your location, but its another option to get you moving around - with less pain. Ask your doc for recommendations on whether pool exercises is a good idea

"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" is what my mother always said

Yes - even though I hate cardio, i try to do it once a week. supposedly burns more fat

Thank you! Found him on the side of the road - it was meant to be lol

Thats cool! Maybe on a less frigid day off work I'll take my dog there and explore

I find it simpler to log for the 24hours and just count my calories as if I was a normal day shifter. I tried doing it according to my sleep schedule...but sometimes I work 16 hour shifts and sleep only 5 hours - so it got too tricky.

Some people split hams/glutes and quads into different days - 2 leg days is better than one! But yea I find chest/tri back/bi to be better because its a push/pull split

Thank you thank you. I should specify that yes I'm only able to get to the gym three days a week- but that's for heavier weight. I do body weight exercises on my overnight shifts at work with a rest day once a week - which I end up riding my horse, so it's like a second leg day. I've had a lot of progress with the 3 day…

15 minute warm up on the stair master before every lift session. Level 8 or higher.

Thank you for all your input everyone, I really appreciate it.

This makes the most sense for my schedule.

I gotcha:) some people do it on back and others on leg day, and others twice a week like irishman213. Ill have to test it out and see what works best

Just had to throw it out there just in case- it sounded familiar to me from nursing school :)

I do chest/tri, back/bi, legs/shoulders for my split - it's pretty generic I thought

Twice a week! Now that's dedication

Sorry it took me so long to reply MrM27. And no, I don't science - feel free to add me and critique my food & exercise log <-- this is serious, not sarcasm :)

Thank you!!!

You're consistently under your calorie limit....I'm confused

Bacon is the answer to everything Bumping for additional help

Eat an avocado, keep your yolks in your eggs...thats all i got

I just came here for the science...but i don't have a meme :(

And if you want to lower your carbs - look at your log and it shows you what you ate that is high in carbs, and cut back on it....if that's your goal

Agreed ^

I tried everything except prescriptions. from the patch, gum, lozenges - nothing distracted me from wanting the real thing....until I got a Vape. So, I'm technically still "smoking", but it's actually vaping a flavor at 0mg of nicotene

Harlequin was my first horse - close though!

If all of the above suggestions do not work, it could possibly be a circulation issue - it's a longshot since you're young and in shape, but it sounds similar to Peripheral Arterial Disease/Claudication. Next time you get a physical done, mention the pain to your Dr. and see what he comes up with.
