Hey there. I ve got two questions.
I know it is a big turn off in sherdog to talk about aesthetics and hypertrophy but this seems like the place people know what.they are talking about.
I found out my lower body is way bigger than my upper body. Like way bigger. It is probably genetics as my mother has a huge lower body too. But I also have spend close to 10 years playing soccer iin a soccer academy as a kid and teen and the sport has always been in my life. I used to play last year amateur soccer too and still this year I am playing with amateurs.
I lift mainly for good looks and health although I have found myself doing more in the 5-6 rep range with 80 + percents of my 1RM, as I feel very weak too.
Anyway what would you guys suggest to get more bulk in the upper body? I do not want to abandon squats and DLs as I love these.
Second problem. I experienced something very nasty last week. I have had 2 soccer games at Monday and Wednesday and Thursday I played with friends a 5+1 game. I also lifted every day. At Thursday evening I Think my nervous system colapsed. It started with shin pain like in shin splints. Quickly transfered to ankle, knees and lower back. My muscles were feeling okay but my bones were like going to break. I spend the last 30 mins goalkeeping as I could not really run due.to pain. And for the.first time in my life I was afraid from powerful shots. I am pretty fearless when I play soccer, but this time I was just afraid something is going to happen to me.
Friday I had no energy. Just stayed in the bed and was eating. Saturday and Sunday rested too with low energy.
The last two days I have been lifting. However while my muscles feel very fresh and I even increased numbers in chin ups and dips I can still feel that bone tiredness and that something is happening with my CNS.
