Help Unplanned cruise ?

So you feel NO pain, stiffness, ashiness, etc. on overhead pressing whatsoever in the gym - it's all after the fact?...



So, I'd not be concerned about progression when you can't tell whether your'e stagnating.



The no-name, while label brand called "curcumin®?"



It kinda sorta does...


One would eat less inflammatory foods and consume more anti-inflammatory foods.



That doesn't look to bad, actually, but I'd add more fruits and vegetables (anti-oxidants are involved here, too: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5075620/ )

You might also experiment with switching out your butter and nut butters and or the yoghurt (Even just the brand!). (Once when eating a good bit of greek yoghurt, I notice extreme differences in GI distress with one vs. another brand, which could have to do with the probiotics therein.)

Event hough you're taking fish oil, I'd start eating more salmon / arctic fish. Make a wholesale change from eggs, beef and butter to more salmon and high omega-3 sauces and many will notice a difference in a week in terms of joints and Even DOMS.

(I"m going to leave it to you google anti-inflammatory diet here, as this is a first step I think would be a good one to take. )

Sorry Scott, I should of elaborated a little more..

In regards to the overhead pressing, not that I can recall.. maybe a little bit of stiffness.. Like I say, I have really avoided/limited any substantial barbell overhead work especially throughout prep purely because I was scared of getting injured (due to being tired and trying to force PB's etc) .. I do really warm up my rotator's before any upper body workout and I hit chest prior to delts to further ensure everything is running smoothly.

Pain throughout upright rows which is why they are 100% out.

Curcumin brand is "Life extension" super bio curcumin 400mg capsules.

I do incorporate more salmon throughout the off season as calories allow for more fats and less voluminous foods so for sure will be back to this soon (I am in the process of reverse dieting so slowly adjusting expenditure then will be increasing kcals)

I forgot to include that every morning without fail pre / intra meal 1 I consume
1 lemon & lime, 15ml apple cider vinegar, 1 probiotic (15 billion), 5g glutamine, 10g greens powder which I find quite helpful.

I will check out your link..

Am I right in thinking you are an avid fan of kow-loon oil ? or am I mistaken here?
