I now have the 70* of internal rotation in my right arm that Eric Cressey says is a healthy amount, yay
How do I measure / test this?

I usually eat an hour or an hour and a half after workout. Is that too long or is it all broscience with that "feeding window" right after workout?

Good to know.

I have no problem eating much. Have crammed down 3k cals in the last 4 hours and still going.

During this bulk, despite small strength increases (fixing form), I've gained a good amount of mass. Mainly in the glutes, quads and lats though. Not much has happened with chest and arms. 6 pack and dat jawline is gone. Face getting fatter too :embar:

Banged out 315 3x5 followed by 335 for a couple easy singles. Felt great. heaviest I've gone since I changed my form to high bar and started squatting below parallel.

 I do Hatha Yoga two or three times a week, every couple of weeks I will do Kundalini Yoga.  Yes there are plenty of women at yoga, but I feel that its hardly a place to talk/meet women....
+1. I've seen plenty of gorgeous women at yoga, many of whom are unbelievably flexible; however, if you're doing yoga right, after the session starts you quickly find yourself paying no attention to anyone else there.

there's some bikram yoga place near where I live. might check that out, but they have some crazy fees.
Prepare to sweat, profusely. I had a bikram yoga practice session earlier this evening, and came home in soaking wet clothes. I love it though, despite the heat.

Struggled to lock out my last couple of deadlifts today due to grip. Gonna have to lay off the BB curls for a while as they have caused forearm tendonitis again, seems to happen if i do them for a consistent period. Also will have to get some straps because im struggling to hold onto anything above 300lbs for reps and chalk has been banned.

For those of you that have done a lot of mobility work for fixing injuries, bad posture, etc - how much mobility work did you do daily and after how long time did you notice any progress?

I can't squat low enough without rounding lower back and I've got some overhead issues with my left arm. Been doing mobility work (static / dynamic stretches, various exercises) every morning and evening for 1 hour per day for 3 months now. Seeing very small progress in depth and hamstrings are not as tight anymore.
