Dealing with a shoulder injury and I haven't been able to lift heavy with my shoulders in weeks and when I work with them I can only do lifts with a neutral grip.

I have been doing a lot of face pulls to try and balance them out and rehab work. It's getting better but taking a long time plus it's affecting my incline bench.

People, please help me get to the bottom of my (self-inflicted?) calf charlie horse this morning. When I wake up in the morning, I naturally start stretching while lying in bed, usually extending the arms and pointing the legs and toes. Lately (last 4 months), when I start doing the leg, I can feel the middle of my top calf start tensing, and I've been able to stop stretching and compress it in fear of getting a charlie horse.

This morning, I started stretching again in a half slumber, and the charlie horse came with incredible ferocity, and no amount of compression helped. I only had a couple of charlie horses when I was an early teen, and nothing since then.

I eat 1-2 bananas a day, only meds I take are thyroid meds and the pill. I'm inconsistent with my multi and my fish oils but take them a few times a week.

What am I doing wrong? I don't think I'm dehydrated. What else can trigger them in the sleep or during light stretching?

Exactly thing happened to me a couple a weeks ago...was stretching and it had me limping like a pimp for the whole day. Extra potassium and lots of water and I was gravy. Got a body message also. :myman:

Never have done a "clean" bulk to gain weight and my bf has never topped 11/12% it's going to get me one day. :bryan:

:wow2:

Saw this Samoan dude doing stiff-legged deads...we got in a discussion about working out and what race has the GOAT genes. :skip: Dude told me I looked like a finesse cross-fitter and leave the heavy stuff to the real gym rats. :bryan:

We went back and forth and and went up to 445lbs. before we gave out. New P.R. for me. :myman: No gloves or belt with me...went it for abs and arms today...so I just improv'd. Got bloody hands and shins. :snoop:

Some white boys filmed the exchange...I'll see if I can get the footage. :whew:
