No I really don’t; I would like to compete but I’m not strong enough yet to even warrant prepping. So there’s no “push” right now; just doing the work to steadily raise my base back up.
Good to see you hit that 325 bench, and that it didn’t feel too bad. That’s a great feeling when coming back from injury or a layoff and you think a lift is going to be challenging but it ends up being fairly easy. It always fires you up for the next session.
On the positive side, this injury virtually guarantees my back will be getting rested from lower body lifting in coming weeks.
I wish I slept like that. I got 6.5-7 hours last night and it feels like ten cus I only woke up 2 times instead of 6 lol
Lol well I had gotten up at 2:45am yesterday after only 4 hours of sleep so I could go pick up my wife’s coach & make it to the gym she does strongman at half an hour away. And my wife got up ahead of my son this morning to make sure I could sleep as long as possible to heal.
I also wish I had the family dynamic that you guys seem to have. Your wife trains hard and understands how **** works, makes sure you get enough rest and recovery.... mine would wake me up at 7am knowing I've only slept 4hrs to do something she is too lazy to do and she sleeps 8-9hrs like the dead herself. Theres literally Zero support from her. I'm sorry I'm not trying to complain as much as I'm trying to say you have a good thing going, many dont have that

Thank you sir. My plan is see how it goes in coming weeks; if there isn’t good progress I will definitely see an ortho for some imaging & diagnoses. But my impression is most things won’t require or benefit from surgery unless there’s total tearing of a ligament, nor can you get good imaging until the inflammation has cleared out, so it’s not something I would do this week.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I watched this earlier on the tube and didn’t know it was you. Good stuff Brother!!! You FAMOUS!!!EliteFTS released my training session with Swede Burns - check it out!
He’s teaching me his bracing/activation stuff the first 10 minutes, then it was on to chest & tris
She’s my ride or die
That’s awesome man, and had to be a really cool experience.EliteFTS released my training session with Swede Burns - check it out!

WTF dude! this is why we can't have nice things!
Well, what can you expect - live by the sword, you die by the sword, as they say. But man, when I was taking that squat, I can tell you I was living! Had them put a song on for me, totally locked in on the task at hand, adrenaline dumping, and when I was getting under that bar I thought to myself, ‘Now we’re powerlifting!’. I was doing exactly what I truly wanted, every fiber of me. Except my knee
literally this is basically what I was thinking while reading your injuiry post, lol.

I wrote about it Saturday when it happened. I was just squatting, everything feeling great, took 500 for a very easy single and something in the knee ripped on the way up.
I do have one vial of TB500, but I am saving it for when the 20 days of BPC has run out. I have enough GH for 30 days, so I can stretch that TB over that last week or so.Glad the knee is feeling better…..you nailed my exact thinking with your healing regimen.
Oral Curcumin followed by transdermal, BPC 157, and HGH if you have it, as well as TB 500 if on hand. There’s actually a lot of knowledge that floats around in these logs, that a lot of the younger guys could learn from these nuggets just by reading.
Looking good man!
awesome use of a deload
Have you thought about looking into a gym pin since you're maxing out the cable stack?
dude that's great that the knee seems to be improving with mobility. I wonder what the heck it was that happened.
Pretty much; do the work steadily and get stronger (the usual edict).
Glad to see your ART guy thinks it is minor as well. Man I hate to see you going through another injury, because you had just got to where you were able to get back going good after the last injury. I know one thing, with what you’ve had to battle through this year really shows your resolve, dedication, and determination to be able to overcome all the injuries and not let it stop you. You’re like a river my friend, something might block your path, but you will find a way to get around it or through it to keep the current moving.

Old guy I know at the commercial gym told me yesterday that I need to “stop lifting heavy” now that I have a son
He means well, but boy I did a poor job containing my grin at that!
