    The only thing that worries me about the Bear is overuse of the Rotator Cuff. 49 cleans in one session plus bringing the bar down into the back squat position from a press that many times has potential for inpingement.

    harden up.<br />

    My left shoulder is screwed and has been fine though the 4 sessions or so that I have done. certainly don't get too macho with the weights, and once a week at the moment is doing the job sweet.

    Ive done a variation of that before. Did it the first time down Ta$man. They suck. Did power clean - front squat - push press - back squat - bent over row. Fun times

    certainly a lung busting mental exercise, as well as the all over body bash!

    The workouts are going great guns but the scales arent moving as yet. (unless Im burning fat and adding good mass). Ive been really trying to ramp up the intensity lately so its frustrating. Im definitely getting fitter and my strength is still increasing but the motor is still as big as ever. Im going to really review the quality and quantity of every gram of food thats going in the gob and see how I can refine the eating.

    that's the key RB - what goes in. Simple equation - calories in and calorie used.

    That's what makes people give up too, I think, going hard out and doing lots of exercise and not seeing the result they want. Maybe you should take measurements as well, in case you are gaining muscle. If you aren't seeing a reduction in the right areas then you know it's the diet..<br />
    <br />
    I find it pretty much impossible to lose weight while drinking, for example. And the more I read up, the more I see that its 70% diet. Which sucks. <br />
    <br />
    That said, in my 30%, might be time to add some "tin" as you call it, more like tinfoil for me though.
