    I will be raising my fat intake! Thanks. I love peanut butter and avocados.

    But is there a bad time to eat these good fats?

    Do you guys know of any good apps to keep track of the protein,fat, carb intakes?

    And by constincency are you guys referring to the same meals everyday or numbers wise (grams)

    Don't think there's a bad time except right before bed.

    Best thing to do is get down to the old school basics and keep a note book. Its the most accurate.

    Macros. (carbs,fats, protein) Although, I prefer my meals the same. Not only because it allows me to weigh, cook, and freeze my food for the week (thus eliminating an excuse not to have a meal) but if my body responds poorly to something I have a better idea on what to eliminate and replace.

    Well I ended up seeing an ortho and ended up getting an injection into my AC joint after he looked at the X-rays. The shot honestly only had a slight effect on my issues, and I have been continuing with therapy. Not until about last week the therapist stated that my ROM had improved noticeably, so that's a good sign.

    I went back to the ortho for a follow up and told him that I had seen some improvement in ROM but the pain is still there. He ordered an MRI. For now I guess I'm preparing for the worst, from my limited research, I am leaning towards it probably being a labral tear. Hopefully something PT sessions can relieve, but I know the inevitable may be sooner rather than later. :(

    Hey fellas. I've been doing the strong lifts 5x5 program and I'm concerned about my back.

    So I started squats at 135 and I'm now pushing 190 (my body weight)

    And standing overhead press started at 65lbs and now pushing 100

    Dead lifts 95 and now 145.

    All this in one day. My question is...

    Am I suppose to feel these in my mid back? Cause I am and it feels strained or slight pain. Is this normal with these exercises?

    Thanks
    Ruben

    A few things,

    1. Can you clarify, how long you have been lifting weights and how long you have been on the 5x5 program?

    2. Have you ever had any formal instruction on the lifts?

    3. When you say midback are you referring to a point between you shoulders and your ass say below scapula/shoulderblades?

    4. How long have you felt pain and is it constant or just when you do certain exercises, and which exercises.

    1.I've been lifting weights seriously for about 4 months. And I've been doing strong lifts for about 4 weeks now. I've always lifted on and off since 18. Im now 26

    2.Aside from watching YouTube videos and trying to see what people do in the gym. Nothing formal. I can however tell when people have bad form. And I use the mirrors when lifting light to check my own form.

    3.My mid back is dead center. Above the lumbar and below the scapulas.

    4.I only felt it the last 2 squat/overhead/dead lift days. But it goes away after a day or two.

    Probably a strain brought on by any number of things. You might have a subluxation in one of your vertebrae which a chiropractor could correct for you if you wanted to go that route. I am a bug proponent of people new to weights to seeking out some professional advice on form. Basically taking a few hours to have a good coach check you out.

    Another substitution for that is many forums have a section where you can post a video for comments, its free but you will likely get lots of opinions from people who think they know what they are talking about. Just like here.

    The cheapest remedy is ice and rest. Good luck!

    Thanks. I was actually considering hiring a trainer to check my form. I think I'll go that route. And then maybe a chiropractor.

    Thanks.

    Usually that means too much too soon......once your back is cleared, get your form checked and start with less weight. Yours deads should be heavier than your squat so maybe it was just too much weight?

    Check out my build thread (Beginning of Money Pit)
    So, I got my dumb bells flat bench up to 200lbs 3x8 reps

    cable fly's set at 11 reps of 10 sets 30 lbs each side =straight, incline, and decline.

    10 reps 3 sets of dips

    close hand flat bench @ 100lbs at 3 sets 10 reps.

    incline bench @ 155lbs @ 2 sets 8 reps

    cable cross overs 8 reps 5 sets 30lbs each side

    Question, Does that sound like a good chest routine?
