400 pills for either $9 or $10, same EPA/DHA ratios. It’s the bottle that isn’t transparent (kirkland, white bottle), they have another one, which I believe is more concentrated for slightly more, but I haven’t done the math on if it is the better bargain though.
it’s this one.
this is the other one
which I think cost around $15
so the breakdown would be (if the first is $9 and the other is $15)…
120000 mg EPA & DHA per bottle
$0.000075 - cost per mg of EPA & DHA
123120 mg EPA & DHA per bottle
$0.000121832 - cost per mg of EPA & DHA
so, slightly cheaper to not go the one a day route, but have to take double the pills.
About three weeks ago, I woke up on a Saturday morning and my right shoulder was FUCKED UP. I didn’t do any real exercise the day before, and even if I did, this wasn’t muscle pain. Well, maybe if I tore the muscle, but I don’t think it could be that either. I think it might be joint/bone pain. But once again, COMPLETELY random. I think I just slept in a weird position, but it was fucked up.
By Monday or Tuesday, it still hurt like hell if I lifted my arm to my side or backwards. I couldn’t properly do basic bodyweight exercises like pushups or bench dips, which are generally easy to me. I try to take it easy, and a few days later, try to bench press, but that’s no fucking good and aggravates it. Anyway, I go easy on stuff like that, and it’s mostly healed, but it still flares up when I bench press any decently heavy weight, and then on the second or third rep it fucks me over and I can’t properly generate force.
Do any of you guys know what the problem might be? Even shoulder exercises like the overhead press and Arnold press don’t aggravate it. I’m just laying off bench press but I quite like it and want to do it and it’s pissing me off that I can’t.
Is it a joint problem? Should I start taking a joint support supplement? Any recommendations if so?
i dont think sleeping in an uncomfortable position would generate anything like that. How long have you been training consistently? I use to have a bad shoulder problem, with what I believe was something to do with my rotatory cuff. I stopped working out for a couple weeks and during that break I started taking Animal Flex. If you don’t want to take that, at least consider glucosamine.
You should try the same. Start taking a join support supplement and go on a training break. Once you start training, start with low weight or body weight exercises. Really focus on form, try not to hit failure, and don’t work out when you haven’t recovered.
If none of that helps at all, you may want to see a doctor.
Sounds like rotator cuff to me. Possibly impingement (which is what I had).
hang the arm of the injured side straight down, rotate it until you are doing a “thumbs down” motion with your hand, then try to raise the arm up to shoulder height. Is there any muscle weakness, pain, crunchy noises/feelings? That’s one of the tests they did on me to isolate if it was a rotator cuff problem.
I wouldn’t take the chance, go see a doctor (preferably an orthopedic surgeon, as your general practitioner is going to end up sending you to one eventually anyway), and get a xray/mri done. No point in taking chances.
If it’s something mild they can give you a shot between the blade to reduce inflammation to help with healing, and then can see what is up after that.
Hmm, sounds like good advice, and I tried that “test” you recommended. But I really don’t feel anything. It’s pretty much healed now. I’ve been doing other heavy lifts, even shoulder specific ones. It just fucks up when I do bench press, for some reason. I guess the problem is specific to the front head of the shoulder. I’m 90% sure it’s not muscle pain, but it might be some inflammation. I have to go to the doctor for a checkup anyway (really though, I should go to a ‘sports doctor’), and if it’s still giving me problems, I guess I’ll ask for that shot if the doc thinks it might help.
I think I’m going to try some Animal Flex or some other joint supplement, as it can’t really be detrimental…right?
Until you are 100%, you should consider doing incline benches, and skip the flat ones. It’s less pressure on the shoulder joint, and some argue…even a better chest workout for filling out.
Whenever I do it, I usually just tell myself to make it through 3 weeks. If you can make it that long, you’ll find it tougher to stop going then to keep going.
Just a general question that i know has been asked multiple times BUT given my school and work schedule, in terms of working out, I usually do jog/run every other day and do different variations of situps and pushups during the off days.
With that, would Whey Protein help out much in terms of me gaining muscle?
There are some benefits shown, even without working out, but not enough that I would bother. It’s not going to gain you any muscle. It’s mostly to take pre/post weight workouts because of the speed of digestion.
Just eat more lean protein foods until/if you start a weight program.
its not so much that i dont work out hard enough, its my diet lol.
i weight train 3x a week and maybe run one day for 20 mins. i’m making good gains in the strength department, its just that i get SOO hungry while recovering that I eat up the entire house. not to mention my diet isnt exactly the healthiest and im unemployed at the moment.
i know a lot of hard gainers complain about it being a chore to eat so much, but does anyone else just feel like eating a cow after a workout?
i recently picked marvel back up and my friend who i use to game it up with me even said “dood you’ve gotten fat. you’re like me now” hahaha
I’d look into going low carb then, I eat like a beast and lose weight at the same time. It should make you lose weight and keep the strength at the same time. Staying completely away from sugar and carbs does wonders.
I’ve done the low carb thing and went from 225 to 195 and the food I eat fills me up. I’d say google it and give it a shot.
If you want more info, I can let you know what I do.
So apparently working out legs once a week while bulking up leads to chicken legs/fat thighs. Fuck. Any ideas on how to tone thighs down?
I’m guessing that it involves high reps/low weights with squats/leg press, possibly walking up stairs with ankle weights. The thing is, am I supposed to cut back on my caloric intake to make the toning process faster?
hey guys, I’m planning on lifting weights again. I haven’t done that for more than a year, so it seems like I’m starting off again. Can you recommend me some good starting programs to do? I’m really skinny right now, but I’m planning to bulk up just enough to attract the ladies.
Well, if attracting women is your goal, I’d go with a Education/Experience/Savvy 3 day split. Working on your Education and Experience increases your base earning potential, think of it like a foundation. With a good Education base, you can go and get Experience at prestigious jobs. From that point, getting more business Savvy will allow you to take your earnings from your Experience and Education base and invest it so that it grows at a rapid rate. After keeping this up for a few months, you should have a shredded 6-Figure wallet attracting all the finest ladies to you.
