Thanks buddy! A lot of people struggle with shoulder strength.

When it comes to power (both pushing and pulling) a lot of our strength comes from our back (I know it sounds weird but it's true). I definitely need to do an article on this.

Congrats on your fat loss! Carb cycling is great. I'd focus A LOT of carbs before and after your workout, then go low carb/high fat on your off days.

Here's an article that might help you out – let me know your thoughts: http://www.chadhowsefitness.com/2010/11/how-…

My biggest problem areas is endurence and fat loss. my muscle gain is abnormal lol. I can gain bulk lean and fullness with out really trying but my mid section is impossible. I have been trying to burn the fat so I can really work on my abs and its just not working. I have tried hundreds of crunches and flexing my stomech while I do every thing. I have also added weight resistence and nothimg works.

I used to struggle with Strength myself. Doing no-strap deadlifts and Farmers Walks have helped me immensely. Also, by doing an explosive movement before a heavy lift (jump squats before barbell squats for example), I am usually able to lift more.

Also, your suggestions on the notebook is huge–I believe people should track *everything*. It is easy to get discouraged, otherwise. If I can't lift a heavier "weight," I try to do at least an additional rep or two with the weight I managed last workout, or do the same workout in less time–there is always a way to improve.

Questions from your e-mail:
Type of training I struggle most with–strength, particularly my shoulders. I am able to improve more quickly in every other area, but shoulders lag behind.

Weakest area of my physique is muscle gains. I dropped 50 lbs over the last six months, but putting muscle on is harder for me. I am now attempting carb cycling, and that seems to be helping–muscle gains are still a bit slower than I would like though.
