Good news - not rotator cuff.

Bad news - its everything else around it pec/trap/bi/top rib >_<

I suspect I'm gonna be in some ripe pain tomorrow after a good 30mins of being belted by the physio. But all good, nothing that cannot be fixed. Gotta lay off the gym in terms of shoulder. So looks like a week of just legs is coming up - not going to stop attendance or i'll lose the motivations.

Going a bit to hard was the major cause, along with sitting in a desk/seat for 8-12hrs a day = bad mix.

Ok so shoulders are both still outta action. Back to physio on Friday and slow going on recovery :rant:

Could be at least 2 weeks yet.

Basically can't do anything that involved using my arm going above 1/3rd or it just flares up again. Cant even work arms as Bi's are partly to blame. >_<

Doing light bent arm rows at the moment as part of recovery. Just to pull shoulder blade back, stupid IT job.

Big week of legs coming up i think to keep everything going considering i can't really do any upper body at all.

Protein and creatine arrived during last week too - cheap as it gets. 10kg for $270, and thats 89% protein too, hardly any filler and mixes/tastes execellent. Have starting to loading up on Creatine at the moment last 4 days.

www.bulknutrients.com.au Aussie mob too :)

ash have you thought about getting a deep tissue massage on your shoulders? the guy upstairs at work is a myropractician. basically it's deep tissue massage. i got him to work on my back. hurt like hell but it helped.

When I was in Utah I got myself some DEEEEEP massages, my god it felt like the guy was trying to massage my pectorals via my back....though afterwards it felt amazing. Definitely recommend, helped posture a bit too

The physio said just to wait for now and see how it goes. He's been doing similar stuff, even in my neck as it's partially nerve related too he thinks as I jump everytime he digs a certain part of my neck >_<

Next visit is late next week. Im doing everything I'm being told so it should get better with time really. Can't expect it to get better overnight. But down the track i'll have to get regular massages once a month at least.

All good though, I've lost no motivation, if anything it's making me more determined at the moment which is good.

Actually look forward to smashing a gym session out :D

Back before I turned into a lazy bastard, one thing that really helped me start stacking on the muscle was having a multi staged release WPI shake before bed.

You getting up every night and having a shake at 2am would have a similar effect, but this is much easier! I used to get the PVL Glycer Pro - white chocolate. Just a small amount of water or milk with a stick blender and it turns into the consistency of yoghurt, and you can slam it down without getting too full before bed. Just had a quick search around - not sure if the Glycer Pro is still available but there are other things like it.

creatine loading is a load of shit - don't need to load (well you don't need creatine but youve bought it now so might as well use it) - just use the maintenance level they suggest - and lots of water

re shoulders - Ask what your physio thinks about shoulder dislocates (google/youtube it to see what I mean)

It helps all the joints around the shoulder and elbows.. so pecs, traps, upper back, all insertions of muscles at every section of the shoulder, bicep and tricep insertions at the elbow, forearm insertion at the elbow etc.

your routine - in short is rubbish.

you listd 4 sessions, they all had pec work and none had Back work - that's just one example.. you already have shoulders that round forward (can even see it in your R31 video) due to years of desk monkey work, and you are now starting the gym and doing pec work over and over which will develop that muscle and keep pulling the shoulders in.

Nick has given very good advice regarding training.. I suggest you make a program out of that, or find one of the many noob programs out there (starting strength, 5x5 etc).

head over to ausbb.com - they have a few outlined beginner programs which are good.

good on you for getting back in shape and becoming a useful human instead of a useless gimp.

What's with your tone cuz? lol.

You sound like Markos version 2.0.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, I just think you could deliver what you're saying in...I dunno, a more 'original' fashion. ;)

I know what he is getting at, all good lol.

I will need to alter the program yes, no question there. Need to add in some Rows etc. I'm doing that now albeit it with basically no weight just to pull things back a little and aid the strengthening.

Just gotta get the shoulder(s) right first. Even with the exercises I've got I'm noticing it's still not right, but getting better which is good.

I've been to this Physio group over the years, plus it's only been 2 weeks. Can't expect it all to be fixed too quickly. Next weeks session if things aren't markedly better then we'll see as I've a whole heap of exercises to do which should fix it, or show up more-so where the actual problem lies.

Paul - I generally wake up @ least once a night anyway so it's not really a major problem for me. Being a shift worker for 10 years now I tend to sleep in 4hr blocks, wake up for a few mins and then another 4hrs. Almost like clockwork :D

yep just take it really slowly... try and get a full range of motion back with very light weight and practice ultra strict technique, with super slow rep speed... your going to have to undo years of muscle atrophy first before you even begin to try and stack on size etc... but at least your doing it now and not when your 40 and already have a bunch of health problems so good on ya:)

  • 2 months later...

Been in bed with pneumonia for past 2 weeks, only started to feel good 3 days ago.

Gotta lay off for another 2 maybe 3 weeks according to the Doc, i still struggle to do a full day @ work.

Farken... :(

  • 1 month later...

Ok over SAU Nats & fully over Pneumonia too - Feeling about 95% at the moment which is the first I've felt this good in probably 3 maybe 4 months.

Will start back @ Gym over the weekend. Really light for 3 months to work in the shoulder a bit easier.

Will also start doing some HIIT, just 100m sprint/100m walk till i can't do it anymore. Probably twice a week. Will alternate with 200m/200m after a 3-4 weeks and see how i go.

Happy days :D

    • Have you checked the foam over the years? No deterioration to the foam from e85 mixing in oil? (assuming you're on E85)
    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?
