@Lord Guts
Dude at the gym right now is pretty well built, big biceps and chest. Not shredded but lots of definition. Would definitely think this is a guy who works out and doesn’t have the roider look or size. Goes to barbell and struggles to bench 95 lbs more than a few reps.
Theories?

Rehabbing a shoulder injury? I actually had to bench just the bar for a while for that reason. And I am pretty well built.

Possible by sense is that isn’t it from noting low weights on his other exercises too.
Is he actually struggling with the 95???
Ice_Ice_Brady

He’s struggling at the end of his set but it’s only like 3-4 reps, so maybe wrong wording there.

He’s also wearing a fashionable golf shirt and some womanly tight cargo pants

Okay gym folks, got a few issues here and hoping for some guidance.
As I’m progressing in weight, some unexpected challenges are arising.
Finger Grip
This is the most common one as overhand grip tends to loosen and I’m rushing through exercises before grip gives.
-Barbell Rows (bent over). Up to 170 on these and have some nice callouses. Pain and digging aren’t really the issue, it’s more about holding the weight itself.
-Cable Reverse Curls. This one is very difficult at ~20 lbs. I’m using a standard rotating handle. Basically my middle three fingers carry most of the load and aren’t strong enough to support it. Could switch to rope but will still have pressure point issue. I don’t really have this problem with dumbbells.
Loading Dumbbells
Today I was doing dumbbell overhead press and couldn’t get the weights (40 lbs each) above my shoulders to begin the exercise. I have a rotator cuff issue I try to avoid and once I get them up I’m good, but I basically have to pull them upward quickly from my thigh, often using a bouncing momentum. With dumbbell bench press it’s easier because I’m shifting into a laying position but on this one not sure if there’s a good solution other than going to barbell/cables.

These days I mostly just swim, squat dead parrots and wear turtlenecks.
Could be alot of things
He could be over training
Maybe he's finished with his workout too?
I'm not sure lol but I'm glad you're staying consistent with the gym I'm proud of you
If someone can recommend a whey protein shake that doesn’t taste like a factory floor, that would be appreciated. I’ve yet to find one.

This man knows what's up @Ice_Ice_Brady
Saw this and figured it would be perfect for this thread:

Looks like a good program.
Not sure I could make it through that heavy leg day alive.
In terms of weight loss, it’s all about diet and calories in / calories out. Based on your weight, I think if you eat about 1500 per day you could hit your goal in 2 weeks. Up it to 1800-2000 and maybe a month. Must get enough protein so the weight loss comes from fat and not muscle. 0.6 - 1.0 g protein per pound of lean body mass.

I use the notepad app on my phone. I write my calorie total for the day. When I eat again, I delete the old one and update it with the new total. Next to the calories I do the same thing with protein grams.
In terms of strain, do you mean calories burned from exercising? I don’t really calculate that daily because I know my rough average over a long time period, but there are some good fitness apps that do this based on heart rate.
One major problem I see is that people tend to overestimate calories burned by fitness. Let’s say you get an app and from 1:00 - 2:00 you work out and the app says you burned 300 calories. Wow! Sounds good, right? But you didn’t really get a 300 calorie deficit because your body would have burned 200 of those just by sitting on your couch, so it’s really only 100 extra. People miscalculate and misinterpret the actual calorie deficit all the time because of this error.
