Upper body regressing

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Scott,

Currently we're still doing Tier 2 turbo & probably in the last week of 6 where we're still progressing.
This week has seen some diet changes to get more food in & to start using an intra drink. Sleep as you rightly know is harsh as I am burning things at both ends both trying to fix.
Have just done day 1 tier 2 tonight legs were fine & strong, on the pump rounds again suffered with shoulder issues where they get sore around rep 15 & the failure come from the shoulder pain/lactic acid feeling rather than anywhere near a pump. Stupid thing is my shoulders aren't painful to use or sore day to day.
Definitely not gaining weight but actually staying around 81kg while composition is definitely worsening.

This sounds very possibly like a hormonal issue (and an orthopaedic issue with your shoulders).

Sharp pain (like I think you're describing) is typically a joint / tendon issue. (In Chinese medicine, pain like this suggests "energy deficiency" as in someone who is run down as it seems you are, so that makes sense to me.)

Have you had any blood work done?
