Mission: GAIN MUSCLE

yeah that's what i figured too.
but, what else is there to eat?

You need to be eating the way that is outlined in Effort's "Simple Starting Diet".

Look in Mike's food journal for recipe ideas. It is sticked at the top of the forum.

LOTS of beef and eggs. I didn't see either in your diet today. You need to make an effort if this is going to work.

Seriously, if you have whey, and put raw eggs in your shakes, you won't taste it. Just blend it up real nice with with fruits too if you like (but not at night). It's a bit overwhelming at first but before you know it will be better than the old ways you used to eat...and could teach you how to cook unless you love plain flavors

Workout:

Incline Press 2 x 5 95lb.
Dips 2 x 10 bodyweight
Shoulder Press 2 x 10 70lb <--- i did these on machine, but i should do them with dumbbell right?
Tricep Extensions 2 x 10 10lb.

After workout :
3 scoops of whey
leftover pasta from yesterday
peanut butter on toast
78 grams of protein's worth of tuna w/olive oil

Do the shoulder press with either dumbbells or a barbell.

What angle is the incline you are using? Make sure it isn't too steep.

i don't know what angle.
it's set at my school's gym, and I can't change it, but it isn't very steep.

also, i think some of the wednesday workouts hurts my shoulder and i have tendonitis there. I heard incline press doesn't hurt you rotator cuff?

Dinner :
3 eggs w/ olive oil
4 fish capsules
veggies
shrimp
musrooms

i know i should've eaten chicken or beef, but after my post workout meal, i just couldn't put much more down. All this food was basically forced into my stomach...

also, i notice that i'm needing to sh1t more often

Friday-
No lifting cause we had a swim meet.
Ate Lots of tuna and steak.

btw, as said in my other post, i'm gonna switch from incline press to the chest machine, cause my shoulder started to hurt again when i swam yesterday.

Don't switch to the chest machine. If anything that would be more likely to aggravate the problem.

Drop the barbell and go with dumbbells. Keep things light on chest day for a few weeks and give the problem time to heal.

Dumbbell Incline Press 2 x 8-10
Dips 2 x 10
Shoulder Press 2 x 10 70lb
Tricep Extensions 2 x 10 10lb.

And remember that other exercises could be contributing to the problem. I urge you too try and get videos of your lifts and take on board some of the things I said in the thread you made earlier in the week.
