thanks man. with the chest if you want more size id suggest benching with a weight you can really rep out for about 15-20 reps first set. Otherwise its really mostly tri's and they ll tire first. This is the same for incline, and try bringing it down right under chin for great stretch on incline.  
 
A good workout i did recently for shoulders was dumbbell lateral raises first then seated barbell shoulder press with vertical bench support. With laterals start with palm of hand facing legs and dbells in front of legs then raise arms so hands, elbows and shoulder is same height, upper arm out to side and lower arm facing forward producing L shape. dont allow shoulders to rest at bottom of rep or allow dbells to rest on legs. Really burns, works well with about 15 reps for me at 10kg dbells. With the press i did behind the neck all way down aiming for about 10 reps.  
 
Hope it works well if you try it.

great hacks brah

i've done exactly what you described and it seems to be OK for me, i'm not losing data. 
 
having said that, this is still a bit weird.  
 
i'll wait for answers to the below before asking any more questions... i'll be on MSN later if you're about?

hello mate, 
 
a few questions about the missing workout: 
 
- what exercises you recorded, and what weights you were using? 
- did you add any notes for them? 
- has this problem ever happened before? 
- at any point after hitting save did you re-load your journal and see the workout, or did you just click save? 
 
cheers

Hi bro good luck on the diet front I never had it in me to follow a strict nutrition plan.  
 
Personally I believe it easier, or maybe just faster, to gain mass first and then cut. I'd bulk up eating alot of food and doing lots of compounds movements and work on the diet after, adding more cardio to lose the fat. I know it is different for different people depending on body composition, but I do think it is hard to gain a reasonable amount of muscle without also gaining fat. So if you cut first and lower bodyfat and then try to mass up you might end up putting back on the fat you ve just worked hard to lose. To gain mass you ll need a surplus of calories to repair and grow.  
 
Also if you are weighing less with low bodyfat you wont be able to move as much iron thus taking more time to work back up to the weights you were using already to gain size. I suppose it depends on what you are after but I m sure you ll look better and more shapely with extra muscle to see when you lose the fat. You ll look ripped rather than just slim. Just my thoughts....

hello mate, 
 
there's now a "are you sure" question for most of the Delete commands littered throughout the site. 
 
hope this helps. 
 
thanks

mate, 
 
you're the first person to add a goal using the new site. let me know if you notice anything that needs improving. once we sort out the graph control for reports (this week hopefully) goals will get a nice progress chart, too.
