    oof good point... I was thinking in the scenario of a partial tear. full tear all bets are off. I don't know a lot about it but if doc allows I did read that the prp/stem cell therapy with the...

    Man glad to hear you’re getting to ramp up training in cool ways, and congrats on the job opportunity to prove yourself in such a visible fashion (and make a fat stack).

    Well, if the MRI ends up showing it’s not attached, that’s it - no amount of stem cells etc can make a detached ligament re-anchor correctly, so the imaging to be sure what’s up is imperative to...

    oh man!! My last surgeon would try to do anything that didn't require cutting me open, hopefully your doc is of similar nature and could get insurance to cover stem cell or at least push for non...

    Man sorry to hear about your shoulder, but at least you know now, and sounds like you’re already figuring out a plan of action. Good job continuing to put the work in, it will payoff. That’s great...

    I think we are getting closer for sure. Plus, I have been able to add more things in even with this, so I am pretty excited about those things as well. Things are looking up. Also great news on...

    I appreciate you saying that; I think that’s what it boils down to. If I’m going to show up, I want to do my best - I’m going to pack my lunch and just be ready to call an audible.

    Oh yeah, I think you will get more out of the TBol than the Anavar regarding performance. I love TBol, I haven't had any in a long while, but I really enjoyed it when I ran it a couple of times...

    I think adding the orals will pay off…Var and Tbol are my favorites when I compare risk vs reward. It’s been a while since I’ve taken any Tbol, but it’s definitely a performance steroid. The East...

    Alright, made a decision to add more orals. A half measure is a half result, and taking some drugs to fall short of my goals is worse in my mind than committing to the bit at least without regret...

    This is a great movie and the leading lady.... YUM! She has the super fine girl next door vibe. @Hyde, glad to hear the RDL's loosened things up. I use them to loosen up often too. Noting like...

    right on! I have had days where any empty bar ROM is like.. knees.. then shin... then ankle. then finally its flat on the ground with my hands wrapped around it for a full stretch. its sorta funny...

    The RDLs were a nice idea @Dustin07. Just grabbed a squat bar and initially could not get much ROM, but quickly & painlessly had the bar down just a couple inches from shoelaces (even after...

    Right, definitely that ballpark/type of issue, although like I said it would be the intratransverse as it’s to the right side of the injured joint, which aligns with the previous injury history to...

    Your assessment sounds solid to me . Sounds like an intraspinous ligament , fascia, capsule etc. If so…. The good news is it is unlikely permanent…. The bad news is that it’s almost entirely a...

    I would personally not exceed 12-13 reps on AMRAP barbell work. There comes a point where risk of injury from mounting exhaustion supersedes potential benefits. There is nothing a 20-rep squat can...

    thanks man. I think what I'm realizing is longevity is the goal here. after many burnouts with this type of training. Klokov almost killed me, LOL! I'll never forget my 4 x 9 set of squats on...

    I would bump squats the 20lbs this next cycle but probably keep deads to the normal 10lb TM increase. Reason being you don’t want to change too much at once. Things are working; you can extra bump...

    Whichever direction you choose I’m sure is going to work for you. I agree with Kleen on the benefit of the AMRAP sets helping to build muscle as your strength increases. But like I said, I believe...

    OK thats good feedback. with these minor adjustments I'll stay the course here then, give the AMRAPs hell, and see what unfolds. I agree on Joker sets potentially overtaxing me, thats something...

    Just a personal opinion here, but I think if you are worrying about recovery you should be limiting your joker sets, not the AMRAP. With how much lower your volume is now than before, recovering...

    Catching up in here, but stacking some PRs on bench and deads! Nice work up in here. And I've stopped tracking macros too. Good reminder for me to at least ensure I'm hitting my protein goals again.

    Don’t write yourself off until the dust settles. Your big squat 17 days out will be more telling.

    Being strong is important for the family, but it is okay to cry with them too. Make sure you take care of yourself while taking care of them too.
