easy on the tuna. I keep saying this but it seems like no one cares.

A better option is mackerel or pacific pilchard. http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html

Yes they sell salmon in cans, pilchard in cans (better source than tuna), mackerel in cans, sardine in cans.

DESPITE the mercury is an understatement really. You have to limit them to about 3 cans a week. I can go through about 14 cans a week on a good week, just to put things into perspective. So that's more than 3x if I was taking tuna. I stopped taking fish though, not really a big fan.

what's wrong with romanian deads/SLDL ? Note SLDL is not exactly stiff legged all the way, there is some give around the knee area.

Please refer instructional videos before attempting http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=112127931

Also, dynamic stretches would help.

why allopurinol?

wouldn't you take probenecid because allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibtor and only 10% of the patients are 'overproducting" uric acid. The remaining 90% would benefit from probenecid.

See a doctor to assess whether it's gout. Unlikely that you have it so young unless you're genetically predisposed to it.

I see it now, probenecid is not without side effects, so allopurinol is preferred as first line.

comes with the roidgut

i can smell the testosterone all the way from UK

pointer: OHPs are intense as fkkk, you don't want your mate to be saying "do you want a picture or video" midrep

LoL.

In all srsness, I have always felt it to be a really technical lift because it stresses my fragile wrists I think I just about got the hang of it. If you're able to hold a bar for front squats with a grip (not with your hands crossed), you should be able to attain a neutral position for OHP when you unrack or inbetween reps.

hmm, I have my wrists just outside my shoulders just because if they're within my shoulder width, my thumbs would get pinched in between the bar and shoulder. I rotate my elbows all the way forward so they are pointing in front of me, essentially resting the weight on my anterior delts.

The descend is an important part of the lift because so many things can go wrong. Your downward motion if you watch the video, was the same problem I was having. Your elbows flare outwards first, then you change your mind midway and decide to descend with elbows forward. It's too complicated. It took me ages to fix that, and I don't think I have it fixed yet. Not entirely a problem, but when weights get heavier, they are just too much to think about.

That's all I have to say. All the best with your lift.
