STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Found a couple good mobility routines to use in addition to the resistance band exercises my physical therapist showed me. Recently dealt with extremely tight shoulders, lats, and traps, all causing me to arc excessively on my overhead presses and forward lean while in the hole during squats. Led to shoulder and lower back pain. Definitely focusing on thoracic mobility and more core specific exercises. Hollow body all day.

Repped. Mobility stuff is so tedious but well worth it
 
Is it really dangerous to eat tuna daily? With my job it's kinda difficult to meal prep and my boy recommended the tuna packets. He's put on a decent amount of size and he swears by them. Is the mercury thing something to be concerned about?
 
How many of guys go through different sizes for clothes. I have to find some new shirts. And maybe a new pair of pants.

I know that feel bro. I've been through a ton of clothes since I started seriously lifting smh. Mainly pants and some shirts/jackets/suits but now all my stuff I bought in a medium way back when is starting to be too small.

Same here smh. Ive been from like a 42/44 all the way to a 34 then back up to a 42. Right now I'm at about 36 and want to get to a 34.

Ill never be in anything under an XL for tops though, big pecs cash checks baby.

Bruh it's been roller coaster ride for me. Before I started working out I was 36 waist L-XL shirts.

Then began to get in shape years ago. Progressed down to S-M shirts 32 waist. Started lifting more and got into M. Started getting serious about lifting and got into L and 34 waist.
Now that I'm bigger than ever and bulking my L shirts are tight. Got jackets that when I reach my arms out I feel like it's gonna rip ride down the middle. And my legs can't fit my Levi 514s. Been collecting dust for months. 541 FTW

Dam so I'm not the only one [emoji]128514[/emoji] I've been going through so many different size shirts. My weights been around 170 for most of my life and I'm finally up at 200 with a pretty low body fat percentage. The problem for me is jeans. I can't find nice fitting jeans. I have bigger quads and so when i try to go up in size the waist becomes way too big. I'm 6'2 @ 200lbs.

Soy can definitely cause hormonal issues. It isn't just urban legend. I read an article a few years ago about a guy who drank 3 quarts of soy milk a day and it was causing him problems. MH, so take it FWIW. They do cite some other sources though and some interesting facts, most notably a Harvard study...

Ninety-nine men reported their intake of 15 different soy-based foods, then underwent semen analysis. Those in the highest category of daily soy intake averaged 32 percent fewer sperm per milliliter of ejaculate than those who went sans soy.

You heard about a guy who knows a guy who drank too much soy milk and had problems......isn't that the definition of an urban legend laugh.gif

I'm unfamiliar with that Harvard study though. Do you have a link to that, I'd like to bring it up to my professor
