Nice one. Can't imagine running for 26 miles. Madness. Hats off to you. Are you going for a particular time?
I would love to enjoy something like that where you can burn off 1800 calories. You lucky [Poor language removed].
Bet you pumped yourself full of illegal drugs to do it like you bad cyclist.
Lower the bar bell to just below your nipple lid. Or drop the weight.
I did have a toast of a pint of milk when I got back 
Just a thread about exercise and stuff isn't it? Not sure it has much of a purpose beyond that.

Hahaha. I bet seriously though that you have to have your diet spot on before and after that type of cardio.
Pinch your shoulder blades at the back, it will protect your shoulders when benching. Pretty much what Chico said with regards to bar path.
It could also be a rotator issue, or a muscle imbalance (wear rear delts), ideally you want to see a physio to be on the safe side
Try adding in some external rotation exercises at the beginning of every workout, even if you're not benching or even working your upper body. Keep the weight light, 2.5 -5kgs, or use bands. Your strength might initially go down at the start, but your muscles will adapt quickly and the extra work won't make any difference in the end to your dumbbell or bench poundage.
Defranco has a good video on keeping healthy and rehabbing:

Avoid benching in the short term, until the pain goes, and then re introduce the movement. If you're using any machines, stop. Also, in the short term, drop the overhead press and use the push press instead. It's much easier on the shoulders, and you can build quite a bit of mass from it.
Interestingly, the Soviet powerlifters tend to do 5 sets or more of 10 -12 reps with a set of light dumbells after benching for shoulder health. When I say light, i mean really light, deep stretch at the bottom and relatively fast reps, not ballistic though. They typically do this up to four times per week.
mr madd motivator. Yo!
Lid I have shoulders like boulders but I want to shape them a bit with dumbbells. Hit me with some ideas.

To be honest, it's at the stage where that kind of effort is pretty easy these days. Decent sized breakfast and a good meal when you get back and it's all ok. Only tend to do a bit more when the ride is 4 hours and over, when it's the same as before but with some food to eat on the way round.
Most of the European events I've done though are a different kettle of fish. One last August was around 7.5 hours of riding, so probably over 4,000 calories burnt, plus of course what your body would normally get through for those hours. Makes it a bit more challenging.
A lot of the cyclists I've met are pretty anal about their food though, as getting weight down is often as important as training well, so diet is taken pretty seriously.
Suspect when you're trying to bulk up like a lot of you fellas on this thread you have a bit more freedom over what to eat.
Some effort that like mate. Fair play.
I eat really well. No sh*t at all during the week to help with my training. The on the weekend I eat and drink what I want. Not that complicated but works for me.

Its a bit like the ' todays football thread '. It contains no actual news about todays footy, just people saying ' LOL '.

Cycled 17k today to work and back, got lost a few times and ended up on a motorway, should only be about 10k.
Diet's the thing if you want to keep bulk as well. Lots of cardio tends to slim you down quite a bit.
