I disagree with the lower calories equals strength loss, now maybe if you do something dumb and go under 1500 but I am cutting at 18-2k and Im making strength gains. I stopped taking creatine because I retained too much water and didnt like it. The only lift that dropped once I was off it was my bench.
Creatine is the most confused/questioned/uninformed topic discussed in this thread lol
Heated after i tried to get a quick squat session in tonight, IF YOU CURL IN THE SQUAT RACK GO **** YOURSELF, STRAIGHT LIKE THAT
Wouldn't even be able to function on a 1500 cal cut. How long do you usually cut for? I find my strenght start to ween a bit after about week 4, 5ish

Ya your numbers will drop slightly but that's more of a result of you cutting calories rather than you actually losing strength. REad Paul Carter's article, explains the idea succinctly. http://www.lift-run-bang.com/2012/10/lrb365-excerpt-losing-strength-while.html
If you have a college stadium nearby try running that. I run the stairs at the Harvard Stadium and it's an awesome interval workout.

From my experience you can make gains on a cut but you really gotta be gettin good rest and usin some form of Pre workout for energy sure helps. Also depending on the severity of the cut Gains can slow down a lot or stop after a while.
Hypertrophy on the other hand is much harder on a cut because you're trying to grow while at a deficit

Its not the medical field exactly,although thats where id ultimately like to end up. Its medical fitness, so think of it as an intermediary between physical therapy and your typical recreational gym. Its a health club geared towards individuals with orthopedic issues. I was planning on going back to get my DPT (Doctorate in Physical Therapy) next year but I found out I still have to take some pre-requisite classes for admission, so school will have to wait till '15.
For what I do, you really just need a 4 year degree in a health-related field. (Ex Science, Kines., etc.) The difference between the exercise specialists who "just work out" and those who do their reading/studying/research is glaringly obvious though.
What PT cert are you working on? Whether its worth it really depends upon what you want out of it, where you think youd like to take it, what types of people you want to work with, expectations, etc. I will say that its a really difficult field, and there are a ton of obstacles in the way to great success.
...Because most people have no idea how to move properly.... or, they let their ego rule their body. The latter is more likely, but the former is the case more than most people think it is.

For me it's probably from over training and doing shoulders after chest day

my shoulder is hurt probably because of both of those reasons. my bench press form is not that good to begin with and as i upped the weight, it messed up my rotator cuff and i refused to 1) stop and let it heal rather than work through the sharp pains 2) make the correct adjustments in form rather than do some dumbass compensating tweaks that compounded the problem. even with just one plate, it hurts when i bring it down all the way. been just doing high reps with dumbell on the incline and more cable/fly work for chest.
also, i'm trying to rehab my rotator cuff and do long warm ups before i actually lift. i'm open to suggestions.

I hurt my shoulder about 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's my rotator cuff. I've cut off a lot of exercises that aggravate it, stretch/warm up, and get regular massages. I did have to take some time(s) off. I'm very careful with it now.

Grade 2/3 ac separation for me. Did it a few months ago playing soccer. All the crazy stuff we do at Crossfit, and I've never been injured there. Think I'm going to stick to that for a while.

Same type of thing happened to me. I hurt my rotator cuff doing the incline bench press. I've had pain there for about 5 months and it doesn't go away. It doesn't hurt that bad though.

That's it man. I'm tired of these set backs. I'm tired of not accomplishing. For god's sake the last two months have been a net 0. Everything gained, lost (or everything lost, gained depending on perspective).
Focus Mode starts today.
Eating healthy + portion control
no soda/commercial juices and only water, milk, protein shakes and home made smoothies/juices.
going to bed at decent hours (
yes I can see the irony)
also gonna focus on other parts of my life like keeping my ish organized
being prepared, actually giving a damn about my appearance
and just doing what needs to
