well, everyone says stick with 5x5 so thats what i'll do. How could i turn down advice from 0311..lol..i'll add a lift or two here and there seeing how i feel, but also had some bad stuff happen today. i wanted to ask your guys advice. Today i started back on the 5x5 after about 1 1/2 week off roughly 10 days, something happened on my bench and i hurt my shoulder. I dont know how bad, i know i couldn't finish my bench, i still did JS Rows, barbell curls, and abs easy but im worried about wednesdays shoulder press, and fridays bench. it hurts around the front head of my shoulder, mostly when i raise my arm foward or sideways. What would you guys recommend, the gym is my life and im pretty scared....I hope its not rotator cuff, i heard those are pretty bad, does anyone know anything about that, how i would know, or how long recovery takes...well thanks for the advice, i guess for now im out on bench and shoulder presses :( :( AAARRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
