Must've missed that, what happened?

I had an ongoing soreness at the top of my quad but forgot about and sprinted up a hill (late for train). Shooting pain right at the top of my right leg. Apparently, I have a nasty strain and probably a tear right up near the origin of one of the quad muscles. It sucks. I thought it was tendonitis, though, and that would be worse (because it tends to be chronic) - this should heal up if I leave it be for a while.

(p.s. I am not leaving it be)

Legs, 120kg X 10,10,10,9,8,8,8,8,8,8. Hamstring curls 10x10, calf raises 3x12. Knees in fire, may have to rethink squatting, gotta train smarter and we get older.

[Halb]

treadmill 5k with 1mile at race pace. then 10 minutes of TGUs and my rites.

[mcelliott]

Short hilly bike ride this morning 30km with 900m of vert, then banged out 6 one minute efforts of press ups.

You should definitely do deep squats... With 300kg....see what happens

That sounds unlucky, someone I know tore their calf play chasing their dog in the park!
He was gutted.

Seems to be a common theme with running and tears.... That says to me do not run as its bad for you

Mixed up my routine a bit and now doing forearm parallel bar dips.

Going to take a few weeks to get into the swing of them - not easy.

I think I'm going to restart strongman again, along side bodybuilding- so I'll be doing a Pull/Legs/Push/Events split.

I like the variation that an events gives, plus it lets me push the low reps for limit strength, which should carry over nicely to bodybuilding. I'm sure i'll be a bit rusty, but rekon i'm stronger than I've been previously, so will be interested to see where i'm at. The PPL training will remain as it is.

[Halb]

and then add 10k training!

I think strongman has a great carry over for size/strength if utilised properly like you will.
And its fun too!

Scotlands strongest man 2020 then yeah?

Not yet - I'll do it on a weekend when I don't have a regular schedule.

'Russian dips' as I see they are called should be a good step towards muscle ups if that's a goal of yours at all.

10 burpee box jump overs
50 double unders

[biggbn]

Just been for gentle jog with my dogs, knees bit achey still, went for ten minute blast on mountain bike after and that was really sore on knees. Gonna look at all my training and see if I can minimise pain. Was good to be out and about on such a wonderful day though.

Heading to gym shortly, shoulders and arms today

[Animal]

Deadlift
107.5kg x 3
125kg x 3
140kg x 10
Snatch grip high pull 5x5
Hanging leg raise 5 sets

[biggbn]

Warming up shoulders today, threw up 34kg dumbbells and aggravated existing injury to forearm, shooting pain, really limiting what I can do with both pushing and pulling. Gonna recalibrate workouts from tomorrow utilising flat barbell bench alternate with incline barbell bench and flat floor press with Smith machine. Shoulders will be front and rear military press seated Smith machine and back standard deadlifts and straight leg, doubt I will manage any pulling motions or arms training. Will keep weight light and revert to 10x10 alternated with cardio 'tyre'days. Damage limitation for 6 weeks or so and try to work around this niggle and achey knees. (deadlifts for reps will be monitored in accordance with pain)...never had these niggles when I was younger!!!

[Animal]

This morning:
Bench press 77.5 x 3, 87.5 x 3, 100 x 6
Dip 5x15
Cable row 5x15
Face pull 3x15

[biggbn]

Cardio day, 40minute workout with 100kg tyre, weighed self after, another 6lb off, 20st3lb. Aim was to get under 20st then start rebuilding on leaner base but am gonna keep it up, aim to drop another stone anyway. Back to weights tomorrow
