Does that seem high or low? I’m tracking with my fitness pal.

Also for everyone about the veggies. Adding them back in today. Never been a big veggie eater other than broccoli but will be doing a zucchini, Brussels sprout, broccoli and red pepper tossed in light Parmesan and olive oil. Also adding my pineapple back in to the diet.

@Ravenson yea add some veggies its def a good idea, at least a few cups per day
you add it?

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Nice man. Definitely gotta get those veggies in. That's why we eat for fuel, not pleasure, lol. Although you can make veggies delicious too.

So I had my first of six shoulder injections yesterday. Went great, we did PRP with stem cells so it’s gonna feel pretty pissed off for a week or two while the meds cause the inflammation they require to work but I’ve been through worse. But I wanted to give y’all a little update to the dietary and training changes I’ve made in the last week. Any feedback is much appreciated.

So I have added in about a cup of each a day
Zucchini, broccoli, red bell pepper, and rice. 200-300g pine apple, 1 large banana, and 2 cups of mixed berries blue, raspberry and black berry. I pick the strawberries out and give them to the wife.

Proteins are switching daily between chicken breast and pork tenderloin. Now that deer season is in full swing I’ll be adding in some venison as well.

Fats I’m getting 10oz avocado, 3Tbsp olive oil, and same EFAs I’ve always taken. I’m not sure but curious if MCT oil would be an additional good fat to add in. Let me know what you think.

As for training, I won’t be logging again until my next cycle starts on Dec 1st. In the mean time I’ll be doing cardio at least 5 days a week for 30-45 min, 1 heavy leg day a week and core work 3-4 times a week and maybe 50% 1RM to failure on upper body work 1 each push pull. When I get cleared to go heavy again in Dec I’ll slowly work back up to my normal working load and sets. I’m going to keep diet clean even through turkey day eating no pie or sweets and just good proteins and fats, and a tad bit of taters and gravy. But the carrot Soufflé is gonna be hard to ignore.

@Ravenson If you can take a picture of the shoulder post -injection i want to see with this stem cells how it looks

you added some veggies I like it but banana not needed if you doing a bit less training, stick with berries and veggies; banana boosts sugar too much

the protein can you switch between chicken , salmon and lean beef too?

MCT wouldnt be good unless you're really training, and 3tbsp olive oil is a start but I would swap 1 tbsp for 1tbps of fish oil

training we'll be waiting on 31/12 push
but if you doing some training now? or nothing at all?
you doing any lower body like cardio or nothing ?

 

[Mobster]

Stem cell use among lifters is becoming common and seems to be a positive

 

[QuadSweep]

you definitely need to keep us updated on this treatment I hope it works

 

[BodyMonster34]

bro stem cells seem like the future i hope

 

[JasonPriest]

seems like you are getting lots of food fats

 

[MONSTRO]

interesting can you get more specific on these types of treatments

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

I'm kind of confused so when they do the injections your shoulder gets more inflamed initially?

 

[2Thick]

Is the needle that they're using really thick or is it the stuff that they're injecting that causes this irritation?

 

[e2]

if you do keep training to stay off the shoulder

[Ulter]

probably best just to work out your lower body and lay off your shoulders entirely

 

[chesty]

did they tell you that it was okay to do some lifting light upper body?

 

[ROIDDERS]

training is good. you should get good results

 

[CEO]

bros i hope you get a full recovery on shoulder
Be positive about it but also be practical

 

[Ravenson]

So the way stem cells work apparently is they need an inflammatory reaction in order to know what kind of cells to turn into. At least that is how the doctor has explained it to me. I’m an epidemiologist but stem cells and pain are not my field so I don’t want to say too much. But yea it gets more inflamed from the meds going in.

did they tell you that it was okay to do some lifting light upper body?

Yeah I’m cleared for light weights about 50% of normal, but have to wait a full 72 hours post injection before I can lift.

@Ravenson oh awesome, next time take a few pics with stem cell injections i wonder what it looks like

light weights you should do 30% normal and cardio, have you done that?
