PT Welsh bounces back after every injury stronger each time.
I don't know if they could help now, I don't know much about them.
They're recommended for tears and I believe niggles but don't quote me on that.
If I get injured badly again I'll be using them to heal quicker, hopefully won't be needed though.
But also, PT is on a dozen things, and I've been natural all my life. THe tendon that is left is stronger now, but the muscle isn't attached. I think the window for reattachment is lengthy, (but not for the old tendon now, it's have to be from my leg) I think it's something that'll always be on my mind till I get it done or die.

That he is! Still impressive to watch.No idea what else to suggest really, tough situation.

He'll certainly be on a stack of some sort, and some steroids help tendon repair massively. But so does hGH, you just have to know how to use it correctly but it's not hard. Sounds like you feel you've almost left it too long to bother now?ORD said:
Never heard of him until now. Looking at his instagram, did he compete in some kind of powerlifting where quarter squats count?!
He did some powerlifting or might have been strongman, he has done some squats to depth, some high. Might be what he was focusing on at the time.His deadlift was good though!
Need some advice please.
Have been loosely following a vertical diet for the past few months, with pretty restricted carbs. Typically aiming for 1,350 kCal/day, macros:
Protein: 162g
Carbs: 71g
Fats: 47g
Bodyweight c86kg and my goal is to be 80kg. I'd say I'm around 20% BF.
However, I seem to be pretty prone to picking up coughs and colds and struggling with energy problems (which I'd initially attributed to the newborn baby) and it's got me wondering whether or not I'm eating too little.
Thoughts pls?

At 1,500 cals, I can drop 6kg in 6 weeks... so if you're not seeing much shift it does support your question as to whether your body has gone into starvation mode.

When I read up on all this stuff when it happened, the window to have it messed with is pretty big, but the window to attach the original tendon is less than 2 years I think, the tendon disappears. My original aim was to simply keep strengthening/thickening that tendon. And it is thicker. I am still unsure on how far I can push in training though, it feels very different to pushing with muscles and tendon.I thinkit'd still be possible to fiddle...but I'd probably only do it if I won the lotto, as they'd need to cut off tendon from elsewhere now I think.
Start of a rest week prior to a sprint tri next Sunday. Last sprint was in April and I’m significantly lighter and fitter than then, but I’ll still be rubbish on the run!
Been doing six sessions a week for a while so am hoping to improve on the top third finish I got last time out. Musing a half IM next year.

Weekend workout:
Front squats: 5 x 5 @92.5-85kg
Trap bar deads: 3 x 6 @ 155kg
Pendlay rows: 3 x 5 @ 90kg
Band press ups: 3 x 12
Face pulls, curls and triceps extensions.
4 weeks of doing curls pretty much every workout has made no difference to my arm size or strength but given be bicep tendonitis in my right shoulder. This is why I have tiny biceps.

Did alright yesterday morning
Squats
5 x 102.5kg
3 x 117.5kg
4 x 130kg
Deadlifts
5 x 5 135kg
Hip Thrusts
3 x 9 at 40kg - lighter weight than last week but went over to a barbell rather than a dumbbell in my lap, dumbbell was definitely more comfortable as worried a steel bar across my lower abs/groin area is going to cause me problems in the long run.

Been a on/off week for me.
Most of last week I was ill then self inflicted illness that I've only just realised from patterns and food diary.
It seems egg and milk products will try to kill me
After any meal with it in, I become ill and end up having nose bleeds! Blood pressure was only slightly elevated though when it happens as I thought I was maybe having blood pressure issues but seems not.
Cut the foods that contain egg and milk out and everything goes back to normal!
So sticking with it now.
Finally sorted wrist pain on strict press, just to test push press tonight, also managed to complete both sets of 10 @80kg strict so the new positioning is working.

Nose bleeds? Not at all worrying...
It could be I'm allergic rather than intolerant to eggs/milk and that's my bodies way of saying it. But, it could also be a change in weather/temperature.
I'm going to keep writing down when I have issues and what I've had that day and what the general weather was like just in case but I definitely have a rough couple days after consuming stuff with egg and milk in.
