Quite a few people have issues with rotator cuff pain when barbell benching, myself included. I found that doing some rotator cuff workouts after warming up but before benching has helped me. Also, warming up your rotator's on their own seems to help. Overall once you strengthen, the pain subsides. An alternative would be…

lol, how bout all of elementary/middle school?

Well done Scott!

I have a polar FT7 and love it. I got it on sale for about $85, and its worth every penny. Been using it for 2 years. It really motivates you to keep your heart rate up the whole workout, and helps in accurately calculating your workout. If you go to a newer gym, many of the cardio machines automatically sync to the polar…

Not sure, but i measured out a bowl to be about 1.5 cups for raisin bran, but by weight it came out to about 2.25, which can add up, especially at 200 cal/cup! I'm trying to find less easy-to-overeat alternatives :)

bump...just found out i've been severely underestimating how much a serving size is of cereal..using a scale instead of a measuring cup seems to change the game entirely

Does the pain get any better when you try hip stretches? In particular, does this focus on the point of tension: http://www.bodyresults.com/_iexer/wall-hip-stretch.bmp

if you are a guy, why would you want to look like a marathon runner? rather be "ripped" and "fit" than look like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nkp57fg12V8/T6BZ2twVYZI/AAAAAAAAAAg/yFoMBG1eisY/s1600/skinny-runner-aerobics1.jpg

An easier alternative to low carb is trying to simply eliminate any extra sugar from your diet. Try taking out simple carbs first, and see if that helps get your weight down. It's sort of a middle ground, but it may work nearly as well.

Also, when doing low carb, you *want* to achieve ketosis, as this is the "fat as fuel" burning that you're looking for. However, when in ketosis, you *NEED* to be getting a lot of water to help your kidneys along.

I usually do low carb for short periods of time, 15-20 days at a time usually. I find that is usually enough to drop a significant amount of weight and body fat. After that i go back to my usual 40/30/30 carbs/fats/protein diet. It works for me, i have kept the weight off. Any longer than 15-20 days without fruit and i…

I do the same. If i do enough cardio (700+calories burned), ill have a 2-3 servings.

Keep at it, you saw some progress and have to trust it'll keep coming if you commit. You definitely don't want to starve yourself, that will not help with the weight loss at all and will only confuse your body.
