I'm fairly new to the FORVM, but I have been lifting for quite some time now.
I started lifting hardcore my senior year of football (last year) to be the best I could.
6 weeks in to the season, I tore my labrum, lat, rotator cuff, and had biceps tendinitis.
I don't feel pain like most people, I welcome it.
I didn't tell anyone of my pain, but pushed through it finishing the football season.
Then I wrestled all winter with it.
I didn't find out what I did to my shoulder till later when I went to the doctor.
After wrestling, I went to rehab. That shit didn't work.
My shoulder still hurts, but it comes and goes.
I should get surgery, but I'm not doing that.
And I have tried almost every type of treatment.
If you have something that will help, let me know.
I'll try it, but enough of this.
I'm the kind of guy that you see in the gym busting his ass.
Day in and day out, never missing a day.
Dripping with sweat, and grunting over his next set.
He doesn't stare at the chicks in the weightroom.
He doesn't talk to his friends, or check his cell every set.
He just sits there with a blank stare, waiting for his next set.
but why does he never seem to get bigger?
He's here everyday isn't he?
You wanna know why? My nutrition sucks.
The people that say Nutrition is 90% of the battle are correct in my eyes.
I've dieted before, and I felt amazing.
But, I always fail when I try to diet.
This time around, I want to keep my nutrition in line.
I want to get that size I have always wanted.
I will not fail.
Animal brothers, I welcome you to critique every part of my diet/plan.
I want you to get on my ass when you see me being lazy.
When you notice a lacking body part, I want you to call me out.
But realize, I'm still new to this sport.
Every single word you say, will not fall upon deaf ears.
I will chew up your words, and digest them.
I will make them a part of me.
So I welcome you to critique.
5'8" - 181.6
This is what I weigh today, not that it matters.
I don't care what I weigh.
I just want to build my temple.
I want to lose this fat that I have accumulated from being unhealthy.
I want to get lean for once in my life.
Even have an ab show.
The pieces of this puzzle will fall together this time.
