Chris, drinking a protein shake even if you are not doing weight is not good or bad… it depends of the rest of the diet! Anyway, since you are losing weight, the plan seems to be right… so keep going!

How is your arms today?

It was only my right arm that was sore yesterday, so i think i must have pulled a muscle.
Today they're both sore.... im guessing thats the actual exercise kicking in other than pulling muscle's, lol.

Ill give it the weekend and if i still feel my right arm sore by Monday ill go to the doctor to see if there's any real damage. It feels like something that would just take a few days to heal but cant really say at the moment.

Thanks for the concern Mo!

Good job staying focused Chris.

I must admit, I know nothing of Spina Bifida personally. Is it something that naturally causes pain?

Thanks Tawii.

No it doesnt cause pain, it happens at birth, some people have Spina Bifida but are still able to walk, i guess i got a worse case of it. I have little feeling in my left leg if i or someone else touches it and i have no feeling at all below my knee in my right leg.

The no feeling thing can be a blessing sometimes, when i was about 10 i fell and broke my right leg, i didnt realise it was broken til i went to the doctors a few days later, lol.

Oh and to update on the arm, its feeling alot better today, hopefully it will be completly healed by Monday so i can get to the gym or do weights at home again.

[tawiii]

Ah, lack of feeling.....bummer. Bet that's still trying at times. Thanks for the info.

Chris,you are to be commended for your dedication and perseverance......I seriously doubt if I would have the guts to train if I had your physical problems.

Great job my friend!! #bnotworthysmiley5cb#

[chris]

Yeah it does get a bit annoying at times when you realised there are certain little simple things that you cant do that able people can.

Im nowhere near as dedicated as alot of people on here are when it comes to sticking with a routine, but i am trying.

Thanks for the props guys. #bhomersimp5yy#

Hey just keep up the good work. Sounds like you enjoy it either way

[chris]

Back at it last night at home, didnt visit the gym. Arm wasnt sore but just a little stiff so i did some weights anyway and it was fine.

Bench press (45 pounds)
1x12
2x12
3x10
4x8
5x12

Bench press incline (45 pounds)

1x8
2x8
3x6
4x10
5x10

Bench Flyes (35 pounds)

1x8
2x8
3x6
4x10
5x10

Rows (45 pounds)

1x12
2x12
3x8
4x6
5x8


That was all i did.

I dont know if ive said this before but i've only written 'Rows' because i dont exactly do it the orthodox way.

I sit on the bench, and if im doing my left arm, i have my left foot flat on the ground and my right leg on the bench, back straight and lift that way. Right arm is just the opposite, right foot flat on the ground, left leg on the bench, back straight.... etc.

Does that sound like a good way of doing it?
Am i exercising the same muscle's as if i was doing bent over rows?

There's something about flyes that makes me have to take some weight off the dumbbells, i find them hard to do.... ive not even attempted incline flyes for ages, lol.
