Do you know how much sodium your grandpa took in? Do you know his general diet?
Or, have you determined he ate too much, therefore you should consume very little? Without quantifying how much he had, you’re creating an unquantified limitation that may cause harm. Your body needs salt. Read the stickies in the TRT section about iodine.
Also, everyone has a different reaction to sodium. Did your grandpa drink a lot of water? Do you?
I assume your questions are rhetorical dchris?
I think this is my favorite day:
Back and Arms Day:
Underhanded Pulldown:
50 lbs 8-8-5(Fail)
40 lbs 8-8
Straight Arm Pulldowns:
30 lbs 8
35 lbs 8-7(NIF)
40 lbs 8-7(Fail)
Cable Row:
27.5 lbs 8-8
35 lbs 8(2NIF)
42.5 lbs 8-8(2NIF)
Shrugs (Using Calf-Raise Machine):
70 lbs 8-8-8-8-8
Bicep Curls:
17.5 lbs 8-8-8-8-8
Lateral Raise:
Didn’t do this one as the machine was taken. But I’m wondering, what are some good exercises for getting big/strong shoulders?
Some sort of overhead press seems to be good whether it’s a barbell or dumbbells.
Awesome, thanks! Will add that to my stack. 
No…
Ok…

No.

His doctor’s said he ate too much.
I know, especially when you’re a lifter/very physically active. I get around 3000mg a day but I don’t want to go over 4000 as I think that’d be too much.
I have no idea how much water my grandpa drinks lol. I drink a ton tho. I’m always thirsty. Been tested for diabetes but don’t have it. Just thirsty. I assume it’s my high metabolism.
Just weighed myself: 168.4 lbs Looks like an increase. We’ll give it another week.

Depends on too many variables to give a real answer to.
I generally go with sharp pain vs dull pain. If it’s dull pain then I ignore it unless it’s something that seems to be related to the tendons. If it’s sharp pain then I pay attention to it.
Was sharp pain.
Sharp pain DURING the exercise is a bad sign.
If your wrists hurt during bench press, then you may be bending the wrist/placing the load on an unnatural way instead of stacking it.
Try grabbing the bar as hard as you can/making a strong grip. It should straighten your wrists out.
Ok, will do. Thanks.
