i see a lot of people got injured on 5x5....which is why its better to use 5x5 principles vs. the program.

thanks for the advice on the shot..thats what i seem to be hearing the more i ask around, dosn't sound to good to me since i plan on lifting for a very long stretch ahead since im only 22....i'll be patient let it heal then, i felt like such a puss pushing 55lbs on the seated chest press today :( oh well, i'll avoid that shot then, dosn't sound to smart really, the pain isnt that terrible, only when i put alot of pressure on it, like i said i can still squat and dead so i shouldn't loose to much weight....thanks again for the help!!

just an update--it's been over a month since my shoulder injury, im back to good on standing shoulder press--bench is another story, still light on the 5x5 but my highest 5x5 rep weight was 235, monday i put that up once, but it felt good, not "too" bad on my shoulder, not ready to rep it out, but i did lift it, my shoulder is alot better, it took over a month though, and its still not 100--so if u get that injury TAKE CARE OF IT...no matter how bad it sucks, dont force urself to use it---just wait it out---thanks for the help, will let u guys know when its 100% just incase anyone else ever experiences this (which i expect is pretty damn likley..lol)

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
