^^^^ kinda what he said, I have only had a shoulder problem once. Having a strong back/developed back improves shoulder health greatly. Also having strong traps and neck helps. I am 6'7 also so i have to watch out for problems like that. Taking time off and away from upper body workouts also helps a ton. Giving the muscle total rest instead of 70 percent resting time. Physio will also help, you are prob not in victoria but mike maxwell over here deals with Olympians. ( victoria )
thanks
saw a physiotherapist and it's just an impingement in my rotator cuff
i'll be doing shoulder stretches and exercises for the next 6 weeks while eliminating overhead presses or vertical shoulder exercises/pullups etc. Can still do bent over rows and horizontal pulls as long as it doesn't hurt.
guess we'll see
it's a total mindfuck not working out for a week. I know a one-week deload or break is good but it totally feels like i'm getting fatter haha
I'm still going steadily. Up to 210 lbs, though I did gain some fat back since my cut ended in December. Probably 15-18% bf. I went HAM on a dirty bulk for a while, but brought it back down to more like a lean bulk or IIFYM and added more cardio. I don't care enough to eat perfectly all the time; I just do this for fun.
I plan on going to a bench press competition in October, first time ever. I am hoping for 165 kg and up (363 lbs). Bench is the only thing I am powerlifting, the rest is still bodybuilding. That puts me in a higher weight class but again, who cares
After that I want to bring my overhead press up. It's my favourite lift to do. Right now I am doing 75kg 5x5 (165 lbs) and I want to get that up to 100kg with a powerlifting plan.
Died after he passed out and hit his head. They had him in a coma for a few weeks, but he was never able to recover.
Dude was a really outspoken guy on the sport of bodybuilding and the supplement industry. He was mostly candid about everything. For me he was just an entertaining youtuber to check out. Seemed like a nice dude who was candid about his training, diet, and drug use (even about the non PEDs he used, which may have caused him to pass out)
Sucks man, two famous bodybuilders gone in the same week, from freak occurrences
This actually happened to me with deadlifts a few years ago... I was doing heavy (for me) 3's and this big samoan rugby player comes and asks if he can do a quick set.. Sure, knocks out 10 reps like it's nothing
Not embarrassed at all, just funny. Always remember, no matter how strong you are, there is someone stronger. And someone weaker. Go for your own goals
Edit: Actually come to think of it, I could probably knock out 10 reps of that weight quite easily now as well..
I think he would have been totally fine had he stayed away from hard rec drugs (it was pretty apparent that he abused opiates, and he admitted to abusing coke and amphetamine)
Dave's an idiot lol the only foul play that happened was what Rich did to himself lmao.
You can tell Dave doesnt know wtf hes talking about less than 3 mins in haha. People can live with arrythmias. Arrythmias generally will not drop you like he says. The cardiomegaly is obviously from steroid use. The jaundice is from liver failure.
It should be common knowledge if you use steroids you're going to die earlier than you should.
Significant damage may have been done from the stroke/coma, but Rich signed his death certificate the day he started abusing substances. You can't reverse what happens to your body when you start using steroids.
He would have survived the heavy recreational drug use if his body wasnt already stressed from steroid use.
If you want a more clear cut case of steroids/HGH causing a death, here it is. Plaque in arteries, enlarged heart (833 grams - average is 300g. Rich Piana's was like 500), LVH, all with a family history of heart disease and hypertension.
Take care when doing steroids! Don't abuse them, especially HGH and insulin
