Well, I think I'm going to take some time off. One, my lower back is better, but more rest can not hurt. Two, my shoulder hurts like hell on pressing so hopefully a break from everything will help it. And three, I've got other stuff to do anyway, so maybe I can concentrate on that and fight the urge to go in the gym.
This will be tough for me, but I really think it will be best in the long run if I can do it.

sucks to hear that man, i would look into ART for your shoulder or do some foam rolling / tennis ball rolling, ive had some success with this for my beat up shoulders. Straight bar squats are bad for shoulders.

good luck with actually resting, it's hard for me to do that, too. But sounds like a good time to do it.

Do you have pain during pressing or just during squats?

Maybe I'll track my food this week since I'm not lifting. If I can keep it up maybe I'll put on a pound or two.
Saturday-
2 eggs over easy, 4 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of toast w/ butter, OJ
large coffee w/ lots of cream lots of sugar
bannana and powerade.
bowl of black bean, bean, and salsa dish w/ cheese and large bag of doritos and powerade
2 chicken breasts and powerade
hamburger macaroni dish and powerade
4 bud lites.
Not bad. 4 full meals and a bannana snack.
Today should be good, me and the family going to visit my mom.

that's a lot of food, man! I know we talked about this before, but you just going for calories or quantity? Not concerned too much with fat vs protein vs carbs?

Mainly calories with a focus on protein. I'm really trying to make a push to get over 220 before summer because I usually lose weight in the summer without trying.
And this year (you're gonna love this) I'm taking two one hour health classes at my university (I was gonna end up two hours short for my degree next spring). Anyway, the first is weightlifting - 5 mornings a week for 4 weeks. Then, in June, 'Awesome Abs'.
That's right, hating-being-skinny dmw is taking an abs class. At 38, I'm sure to creep the hell out of every college chick that takes this, though there shouldn't be too many in the summer.
I would never take it, but it was perfect for my schedule with work / family / needing one hour credit.

No judgment, man. I think it's a good thing. I may try to drop in on a class at my gym just to get back into more of a habit of doing abs
Are these classes you need towards a degree?

Yeah, I basically dropped out of college years ago and started working full time. My wife finished her masters a couple of years ago and I started back to finish. I only take a class or two per semester and some through correspondence, but I'll finally be done next May.
I woulda been two hours short and they could be anything so I thought why not lifting!
