You know, I have this same thing, only a little different. Mine is during flat bench and ESPECIALLY lifting off the rack during decline presses. If I keep my elbow in real tight, there's no problem. Or if the spotter helps me off the rack with it, I can go heavy on decline with no pain at all. Flat bench still hurts, but it's tolerable. Also, side laterals are no problem at all. What sort of things should I do to help this? Maybe that broomstick thing?

ronnie do you believe eating around 400-500g of protein each day and drinking around 1-1.5gallon of water can be harmful to the kidneys?

ronnie...best place to lower bar.... when incline pressing with bar????
-
Relieving rear shoulder pain!
NOTE: Lowering the bar too high on the chest or too close to the chest can cause rear shoulder pain. Also, if free weights cause pain during over head shoulder presses you need to use a hammer strength machine because it takes away some of the work from the stabilizers-hence the rotators! Allow your hands to come down to your ear lobes and no further!! The smith machine is not very good option IMO for doing overhead presses in terms of avoiding rotator cuff pain and can even make it worse due to the akward position you are in but it's a good option for doing inclines given you first tried incline dumbbell presses. Incline dumbell presses on a very low incline (same goes for barbell or smith) helps take stress from the rear shoulder and actually places more empahsis on the upper chest. A 10-15 degree incline is optimal! Give dumbbels a try.. Do not try and bring the elbows back too far or it can really torque the rear and front delts. When doing an inline press bring the bar down to the mid chest not the upper most part of the chest as this puts the shoulders in turmoil. Aso, do not keep your elbows back too far with overhead presses if you feel shoulder pain

hi ron, just thought id update you as to how my pec injury is. its been over a month now since i found out that its a tear at the musculotendinous junction of the pec major but the waiting list for the surgery is well into the new year so i have no choice but to wait. but im back training now, just arms legs and side/rear delts.
i thought id try getting into single digit bf during this time. im basically having carbs just twice, post workout shake and post workout meal and the rest protein fats so 500g protein 120g fats and 150g carbs, what do you think? i was thinking of adding low intensity cardio upon waking and after my last meal but that might be abit much as i remember you saying that empty stomach cardio should be left for pre contest if that.
also what do you think the best protocol is for igf-1? dave palumbo recommends 20mcg daily to stop over saturation.
thanks ronnie

500 is too much IMO unless you are Jay Cutler. I do not think it will hurt your kidneys unless there was a pre-existing condition with your kidneys. That much protein would kill my stomach and your body can only use so much. How much do you weigh? What is your lean body weight-minus the bodyfat?

hey ronnie
almost done with my first cycle, 70mg test prop ed (started at 60mg ed for the first 6-7 weeks then decided to bump it up). coming up on week 10, made great gains, almost 20lbs and no fat gained, stayed at 11% bodyfat the whole time (had it measured throughout). no sides either, i was skeptical that my gear was even real because i experienced no acne, hair loss, etc (my balls didnt even seem to shrink THAT much). however did notice a little more hair growth on my chest and delts. overall very satisfied with the cycle
i have my HCG , nolva, and aromasin on hand for PCT, i just wanted to double check on your reccomended PCT protocol. it is a combo of HCG and aromasin correct?

I saw in the injury and rehab section a guy do a thing with a towel like the broomstick exercise, then gradually shorten the length of the towel. Would this be something that would help my problem? (Above) I know your busy, so no rush at all.
By the way, awesome pics of you and Kathy!!! Jeez, you two must be something else to see in person!!!!

Hi Ronnie,
I'm currently running a test, tren , mast blend and also 120mcgs of clenbuterol ed on the 2 weeks on 2 weeks off protocol. I checked my blood pressure today which is 129/71 and my resting heart rate is 96bpm. I put the high heart rate down to the clen which does speed up the heart. What do you think? I'm 40 years old btw

Hi Ronnie,
I've got a question reg Clenbuterol . You said (if I'm right) that you should start with one tablett a day for week 1 and 2 tabletts for week 2 and so one, till you reach 6. After week 6 do a 2 weeks break, right?
My problem is I hardly feel anything when i take less than 4 tabletts. Should I stick with the 1 tablett a week and increase thing or is there another way to take it? Many thanks!

It depends on whether or not you used anti-es during your cycle. If you used anties then by all means use aramosin along with the HCG post cycle. If no anti-es were used then anti-es are not needed but can still be used if desired since HCG does increase estrogen levels some.

Hey Ron long time no talk!
I'm about to order my gear but first wanted to run my Blasting Plan by you to make sure it looks good. Here it is let me know what I need to change if anything...
**MY 'BLASTING' PLAN**
PHASE 1
Reload: Weeks 1-8 Test 500mg
Deload: Weeks 9-10 Test 250mg, hc 500iu per week (2/250iu a week during this first deload)
PHASE 2
Reload: Weeks 11-18 Test 750mg
Deload: Weeks 19-20 Test 250mg
PCT: Weeks 21-25 (1 week after last test injection)
HCG at 500iu ED for 14days (probably for 18days just to use the whole bottle)
Nolva 20/20/20 (for first 3 weeks of pct)
Aromasin 2.5mgs a day for last 2 weeks (weeks 24 & 25 to prevent estrogen rebound when coming off of Nolva)
*IF I FEEL ANY SIGNS OF GYNO DURING CYCLE*
Wait 1-2 weeks after seeing first symptoms to see if it goes away. If not, then Aromasin at 2.5mg per day for 2 weeks then switch to .5mg eod (if possible)
WHAT YOU THINK RON AM I GOOD TO GO???
-
12-31-2010, 03:37 PM #2144
Ron also I got the whole idea to take Aromasin in pct from Pinnacle, but he suggested taking 20-25mgs ED. Now that is a BIG difference from your recommendation of 2.5mgs everyday!
Is their something that I am missing here??

Ronnie, you suggested up to 1 gram for TEST during my 2nd reload. Being that this is my first cycle ever, don't you think that's a little excessive? Since I have virgin receptors, shouldn't I see pretty good gains from 500mg/700mg ??? Maybe I'll consider 800mg but I'm a little nervous about a gram.

hey man, I'm no pro or anything, but you should really do alot more searching and reading on this site before asking such an open ended question in this thread. Ronnie is posting a very precise method to cycling and working out whereas your asking a very basic question. You need PCT drugs obviously as well. And I wouldn't expect Ronnie to put together the entire cycle for you based on what you can get your hands on. Scroll up to my post # 2135. It took me a long time to come up with that game plan and hours and hours of reading. Then I posted it here to be critiqued. I'd do that if I were you.

Ya that's what Ronnie told me to do a couple months back, and I even repeated it to him just to confirm it was 2.5mg and not 25mg. So Pinnacle recommended 25mgs, and Ronnie 2.5mg. That is one HUUGE difference!
I'm a just wait for Ronnie to confirm once more it's 2.5mg before I order my gear, as well as check out the rest of my planned cycle
-
01-01-2011, 09:45 PM #2150
Also Mercury it will be my first cycle as well look at my planned cycle above and you should consider running something similiar if not exact. I read and asked alot of questions before deciding on the above. Ronnie recommended 500mgs of test for the first 8 weeks then to up the dosage to 750mgs for the 2nd phase. I agree with you 1000mg is a little to much for a first cycle. It might have been a miss typo bro just wait to see what Ron says about mine and go from there

happy new year ronnie,
could you please give me some feedback on diet and adapted routine due to pec tear? (all carbs are in pwo shake and pwo meal only)
mon- delts/arms - high reps - pro=500g fats=120g carbs=120g
tue- quads - pro=500g fats=120g carbs=120g
wed- delts/rear delts/arms - pro=500g fats=120g carbs=120g
low reps
thurs-hams/calves - pro=500g fats=120g carbs=120g
fri - delts/arms/traps - pro=500g fats=120g carbs=120g
sat/sun off pro=500g fats=120g
(cardio 6 times week 40mins low intensity pre workout)
thanks ronnie, also what do you think the best regimen is for igf-1? and do you think its effective for localised site growth?
thankyou

Thank you!
External and especially internal rotation using a cable station will help. http://askthetrainer.com/rotator-cuff-exercises.html. Active release therapy really helps but you have to find one in your area. Go to this website and if you have someone who can apply
the proper foot pressure you can release and stretch that connective tissue causing you pain! http://www.massagetherapy.com/articl...-Rossiter-Way-

Everything looks okay but drop aromasin dosage by half to 12.5 as 25 is too strong for most.. If you want even more size add 25 mgs of d-bol daily to first 8 week reload
and then add 50 mgs of d-bol to second 8 week reload. If you stick to test only go to 1 gram per week on second reload. If its your first cycle you can skip d-bol

If you have issues with gyno or high blood pressure stick to 750 if not you can go to 1 gram per week if desired.

Ronnie you want me to take Aromasin down to 1.5mgs during pct or if I start feeling signs of gyno??
Also it's been awhile since I've been in your thread and on these boards for that matter so has it changed that 750mgs of test in 2nd phase is not efficient enough? Because that's what you first recommended to me can you tell me why that has changed now and keep in mind this will be my first cycle.
Thanks Ron!
