i tried benching today and it didn't go well, i was warming up and had to stop after a few reps. I guess the next step would be getting an mri.

I'm not sure what I should do with my routine and current cycle.

I always have something fucking hurting these days. Shoulder, then elbows, then knees, etc.... ALWAYS something. So I would have to give up lifting if I shut down for each injury. I'll just stop doing the exercises that hurt for a couple weeks or so and then when I can I start up again light and work up to a heavier weight. sorry to hear that

today was the last day of tz, I have a few more days of derm, mech and stano. I'm going to play it by ear and jump into pct when I feel like it.
Aside from the shoulder I feel great. My bench calculates to be close to 300lbs. My deads and squats are still pretty good too.

This cut hasn't gone as well as planned, I was hoping to be leaner at this point. I may post pics but I'm really self concious.

300 bench is POWERFUL man! Nice that you can be close to that even when leaning out. How's your shoulder injury? Did it recover?

shoulder is betterish. i still feel it but it doesn't hurt. I did chest last night and it's a little sore but nothing crazy.
I weighed in at 195 this morning, I am having a really tough time getting anywhere near 190..

What's your diet like?

What's your diet like?

3 x 300cal chicken and veg meals + dinner (6 to 700 cals) few snacks, no juice, milk or soda. Protein intra/post w/o.
Rarely do I exceed 2000 cals a day.

I maintain at around 2500 cals.

No carbs?

No carbs?

low carbs durring the day, dinner last night was pasta.

Less than 2k cals a day...
I bet that's your problem you need to eat more so your body doesn't think its starving.
When I'm not eating carbs I can drop wieght on 3k cals. My newest approach is a HIGH fat, mid-lowish protein, and no carbs and eating like that has took me from a 213-218 to 195 without having to cut cals at all. Hell somedays I probably eat way to much fat and there isn't much if any spill over.
