My bench was cancelled as someone already bought it as a returned item.

It is still available to buy though, <a class="postlink" href="http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/strength-equipment/weight-benches-and-free-weight-systems?special_price=1%2C1000&cat=196" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/str ... 00&cat=196</a>

I'm sure they're still obliged to provide one for that price though.

BB2, what does your legal team say?

Bit of a pisser that mate, it was cheapest by quite a bit compared to other sites, have they not said they'll send you one when available ?

No they said as that one was one that had been returned by someone else, it was cheaper, but someone else bought it before me. I'm suss though, as it was obviously there when you originally recommended it to me, and it is still there now....not happy tbh. Might call up and kick up a stink in a few days if it is still on there.

Hi guys,thanks for the well wishes,much appreciated.
OP (shoulder athroscopy)went as well as possible which was obviously good to hear,my left shoulder joint was very slack and severely impinged apparently so i was under for about two hours while they shaved the bone spur,repaired the damage and sewed me up......
I was also given a nerve block before the procedure which obviously did what it says on the tin.... I was really groggy,spaced and couldn't feel my entire left arm,shoulder and side of neck up until about 8pm tonight but now thankfully have regained useage and feel pretty good(100g Diclofenac has helped...!!)

So there we are,probably out of action for about 6-8 weeks and then slowly rehabilitate before back on the mission!!

For those interested,a link to the procedure

Cheers again.

Just, just stopped it in time. I was about to post my top ten films of all time in here by mistake.

OK lads, carry on with the weights and Jogging.

Nice one FI, I take you can still do plenty of leg work then ?

I can do bodyweight squats but i can't load plates Harry and i certainly can't get under the squat bar so balls to the gym for a few weeks..... I'm just gonna stick to running for a while then introduce upper bodyweight stuff when up to it (physio starts in 3 weeks).Prob,and hopefully,i'll be properly back in the gym for start of August....

Try and find that 8kg i've misplaced!

If you're prepared to work hard and eat right then this is the only routine you'll need imo.....

3 sest on each 12-8 rep range.

Pull Day (Back and Bis)

Deadlifts
Chins (Palms facing) or Lat Pulldowns
Rows (Palms facing if you wish)

Legs

Squats
SLDL
Calf Raises (Optional)

Push Day (Chest,Tris and Shoulders)

Bench (Flat or Incline)
Overhead Press
Dips Or Close Grip Bench Press

Read pages 3 and 4 of this thread for further in depth advice.

Nice one mate was gonna suggest leg press etc but I guess a few weeks off will be a good thing in the long run, 8 kilos is a fair amount mate how long did it take to lose that ? ( and I bet you feel skinny, weak and fat lol).<br /><br />-- 02 Jun 2011, 09:14 --<br /><br />

This is an excellent routine Mancincali, one I've used for years with great results (that and 5x5) there's only one thing I'd change though (sorry FI lol) and that would be to go no more than 6 reps on deadlift.

As for a diet (this is one I have saved) if you work up to this over the next couple of months and stick to the basics of it you should start gaining nicely.
