this and that ..

Hurt my rotator cuff (rip) and bicep and per docs orders and the pain was out of the gym for about five weeks .. now i am scheduled to have surgery the end of April and will again be out of the gym for 4 weeks or so .. hmmm use it or lose it ???  i am hoping not to lose too much muscle during this time .. I have stopped taking all sups prior to surg. The shoulder is still giving me some pain but i have decided to pick up the weights and get as much workout time in before i am out again.  I am still going to compete this year if it is December 31st then ok  lol .. i am back to my obvious set point of 133-134 but i remember when my set point was 145 and i thought it would never change .. so i know never really does not exist .. it can be done .. today was 30 mins of cardio and chest (getting a little bit of shoulder involvement to test the water)   Five exercises of 5-6 sets  10-30 reps .. pyramid up .. yep i was smoked at the end .. hoping when i wake up tomorrow my shoulder is behaving  and did abs at the end  .. six meals today three shakes /***e 0 percent yogurt with blueberries / and turkey breast patty with yams / egg whites with spinach and peppers
