    1 week off and my body implodes....

    Good point. In that same week I did consume less calories ie I believe on some days I went down to 3000, whereas the previous week I was 3500. The reasons for the caloric reduction were a few ie 1. at the time I was feeling bloated and thought my intake was too great?? And 2. on my original diet...

    Strange re-occurring Benching muscle strain??

    I seem to have a re-occuring muscle strain when I bench heavy (this comes and goes, and has over the years). The muscle (or tendon?) is located between my collarbone and traps, at the base of my neck (right hand side). I guess it is a lower neck muscle. Any suggestions on cause, prevention...
