Hi Rob so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog.
The guys above are spot on regarding dropping the dose and the Halcyon. I would really advise against any stronger medication as you said addiction is a real problem and it doesn’t fix the issue.
All I would add is it’s ok to feel the way you do about your loss and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Everyone takes a different amounts of time to heal emotionally so don’t beat yourself up if it takes some time.
Something which helped me with my anxiety was getting some sessions in with my sports psychologist. Having someone professional to talk to allowed me to open up more on topics that I could never talk to anyone I know about. We’ll worth considering IMO.

No lifting today. Got my bike session in this morning before I headed off for a funeral.
150kg bodyweight, a suit and 37 deg heat do not mix!
Anyway took all my food with me so managed to keep my nutrition in during the day and pounded the water to stay hydrated. Back in the barn tomorrow

Such a shame about the injury adam and I wish you a speedy recovery. I strongly belive you were the only person that stood a chance of the 505kg. Not slating any other lifters as there’s some fantastic athletes out there but I’ve seen none of them pull the same weights you did at such speed
Thanks buddy. There’s always next year.

Managed to get some light pull movements on my injured side today which was good. I’m very aware that in two weeks time I won’t be able to do anything with my right arm so I made the most of it and kept the weight low but the reps high.
SA Pulldown 4×6 (L) 4×20(R)
SA seated Row 4×6 (L) 4×20(R)
SA Chest Press 4×6
SA Seated DB Press 4×6
SA DB Curl 4×6(L) 4×20(R)
SA Pressdown 4×6
DB Lateral Raise 4×12Having to move things about a bit this week as I have a funeral to attend tomorrow so my next weights session will be Tuesday.

It’s still a little early to present the signs of a muscle tear.
Some people show the signs of bruising slower than others. For instance I’ve recently ruptured my tricep tendon and I saw no bruising till day 3.
Keep an eye on it over the next couple of days. Keep blood flow to the area but avoid anything too strenuous. A proper diagnosis via a sports physio would be useful in making a rehab plan but if that is not an option then a slow return to lifting with small weight progressions using pain as your gauge is the best option.

I’m a fan of whey isolate and cream of rice post workout as far as carb intake goes. You always want to pick something easy to consume and digest.

Met with the surgeon today and got an MRI done. Didn’t get completely stuck in the MRI scanner which is a big win haha.
Tricep tendon is pretty much gone so I’ll be having it surgically reattached in two weeks time. From there the rehab time will be 12 weeks (same as my bicep from 2017)
Fortunately I have the UKs number 1 elbow surgeon operating and he is the same guy who did my bicep reattachment so I know he’s spot on.
Gotta make the most of having a bit of movement in my right arm as in two weeks time it goes in a sling for 2 weeks haha
-
I tend to have a large amount of my carbs from cream of rice and I don’t have any issues

Good lowerbody session today. Same exercises as Monday for now but I’ll be adding in some different variations to this session when I travel to another gym. Managed to progress every lift for loading.
SSB squat 200x6x3
SSB GMs x10,20
Seated Leg Curl x10,20
Leg Press x20,20
Uphill walking lunges x7,7 (per leg) -
Managed to get a hyperbaric chamber sorted for the next 6 months as part of my recovery. It should speed the healing up a bit. Hopefully get it delivered in the next couple of weeks.
Nothing to report training wise today, cardio and lowerbody weights tomorrow

Hi Joe have you watched the videos in the educational section?
Jordan goes through the benefits of total body and PPL splits as well as how to set them up in his videos.
We’ll worth a watch as he explains everything.

From the vast majority of studies out there 3-5g daily gets people to peak concentrations within 30 days.
Most people shoot for 5g as a nice round number.
I’ve always just used 5g daily and my bodyweight is 330lbs. Seems to do the job for me.

Louis knows his south lundun spots for sure.
Another vote for muscle works Orpington if you’re out towards Kent.
Physique warehouse gets a big thumbs up from me as well!

Yep I agree with Rich. The split stance is a great option for the 45deg or pivot leg press. Try and keep the back leg passive in the movement – think of it as a supported single leg press.
Hack squat or smith squat with a heel wedge also great options as Rich said
