Thank you all.
I’m already bored! I’m not one for staying still...... I’m off work until the third anyway, so it’s going to be a slow festive season! Soon as I can walk I’ll start upper body work.
DD what's your insta? I definitelyu followed you but can't see you anywhere now...?I’m already bored! I’m not one for staying still...... I’m off work until the third anyway, so it’s going to be a slow festive season! Soon as I can walk I’ll start upper body work.

It’s ‘mylifting’ - deleted my old one a while back, to many junk followers-never managed to find most good folk again when I made a new one.....TheBALDpuma said:
Sounds horrible! the kind of sound I'm surprised you walked out of the squat rack! Fingers crossed for a quick recovery!
Thanks 
I didn’t walk very far..... then I drove home, then to a&e, then home again
Now I can’t walk at all, even with crutches it’s agony! Fecking useless legs.....

). Hope it recovers soon, the back of my leg was black, now a faint green but the pain is mostly gone

Is it the same area you have had issues with glute pain before?
Exact same spot. No bruising today! That’s promising, still can’t walk though. What I’m hoping for, is that what ever was causing my glute issue- scar tissue/knot/tissue adhesions- suddenly popped/snapped loose. This is unlikely, but possible. Oddly, my stance is more even now than it was before, like 1 leg has shortened a few mm.

I’d get a scan, Ben. I tore a vein in my quad which caused a thrombosis. Not saying you have but early prognosis and treatment may hasten the recovery.
That’s the plan, but it’ll be after Xmas if no bruising/swelling becomes apparent. It’s the snap noise that’s my concern- I mean wtf makes a noise like that without it being something very bad !

Where about exactly is the pain? (Not planning to try and guess a diagnosis in just interested in the specifics and the outcome). Is it localised or do you have any nervey pain down your leg?What I’m hoping for, is that what ever was causing my glute issue- scar tissue/knot/tissue adhesions- suddenly popped/snapped loose.

A snap like that really does make you think a tendon has gone pop! Is everything still where it should be muscle wise?
Also out of interest are you natty? I seem to remember a while ago you were dabbling with the idea of PEDs but not sure whether you did anything about it. Feel free to not answer this if you don't want to! Just bring nosey. Tendon and ligament damage can be more prolific in people using certain PEDs I believe as they can break down the material that makes connective tissues.
I don't recall any pain when I tore my tendon, it was sore initially and I darent use it just in case.
Bruising took about a week though to properly develop which is what threw everyone off.
Then it appeared on bicep so yours may appear further down your leg with gravity?
I think that's why mine did it.

Pure Gym visit for the first time today. Cracking gym. Excellent free weights facilities.
One problem: all the bars are thick and rotate very freely. Fine for most things but really messed with my bench press.
Deadlift: 2 x 3 @ 140kg. Grip strength terrible since the flu.
Bench: 90kg x 8; 100kg x 5
DB incline bench: 30kg x 10
DB press: 20kg x 10

Funnily enough, first Pure Gym visit for me as well. Handy for visiting family, seeing as the membership is under £20pm for access to a whole bunch of gyms.One problem: all the bars are thick and rotate very freely. Fine for most things but really messed with my bench press.

Just a quick 2 x 8km on the rowing machine at 70% MHR, with a push for the final couple of km. I hit 218bpm during the final stint, so need to rethink my heart rate bands.
Good session at the gym yesterday, almost cracked 160kg on the bench, a much better effort than last week - so close. I will get it before the New Year. Then two hours on the turbo this morning Zwifting - probably the hardest two hours I've ever done on the turbo. Feel a bit second hand now. To the gym this evening, I don't envisage anything special, my daughter will probably kill me. Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas, everyone I've got a 17lb bird to roast
