Very difficult to say for certain with out physical assessment and/or imaging.
See a doc and they will try and locate the tendon to ensure it’s still there.
For now rest up and avoid the urge to keep feeling/flexing it.
Bruising comes out in different time frames person to person and injury to injury.

Started todays session in the Barn with deadlifts and stone before moving over to the farm for the rest of the events.
Warm up and pulls felt much better this way round as expected. Deadlift reps felt smooth with plenty more in the tank.

Stone over bar – 90×5 110×5 120×5 (one motions)
Loading – anvil, sack, keg and tyre all 15m
Shield walk – 167kg shield for 40mShield felt much more comfortable grip wise this week. Much more in the tank there.
Physio session tomorrow morning before my press session

Rest day today. Got my meals cooked for the next few days and took the dogs out on a long walk.
Busy day tomorrow with training and some general life stuff to sort so wanted to get everything lined up today.
Not much more to report really. Heavy training day tomorrow.

Events session at the farm.
Tricep tendon is a little inflamed so I decided to drop the fingals finger work this week to prioritise pressing on Tuesday. All events today progressed as planned and my stone lifting felt very strong. I always know by how easy the atlas stones feel where my strength is at and the one motion on the 180 felt very good.
Bag Toss – singles up to 30kg bag then a run of 20/20/25/27/30kg
Conans wheel – worked up to 5plates per side for 2 revolutions
Loading – anvil, sandbag, keg and tyre for 12m each in 37sec
Stones – one motions up to 180kg then a run of 100/120/130/150 -
Up at 4am to get over to Mirafit HQ to do a media day. Photos and videos with new products plus some interviews.
It turned into a full on day and I’m exhausted! Early night for me and time to catch up on some sleep!

Rest day. Body feeling beat up as expected.
Ran a load of errands this morning then took the dogs out for a 50min walk.
Spent the evening trying loads of food in preparation for our wedding later in the year.
Now off to get some sleep before a very early start to drive to Mirafit HQ for a media day.

Yep getting a proper diagnosis and getting to the route of the problem is the key.
Once you know what’s going on you can plan your rehab. The rehab plan will depend on what the issue is.

Moved onto some log ladder training today. My tricep was actually a bit inflamed and it limited things today. I actually failed a very routine rep and lost my shit and kicked in my gym door. Whoops. I’m seeing my physio next week but until then I’ll be working on Reducing the inflammation and getting full function at lockout back before Saturday.

Heavy session today. I bought myself another couple of throwing bags and loaded one up to 30kg which is the final kettlebell weight at WSM. Very different to throw a heavier bag so it took some trail and error with throwing position but we got there.
Bag toss – up to singles at 30kg
Loading – anvil, sandbag, keg, tyre – all 15m – 38.6seconds
Shield walk – 167kg for 30m
Deadlift – up to 347.5×5
Stone over bar – 110×5 one motions, chalk only
CG Pulldowns, seated row and high incline DB CSR – all 3×12Deadlift moves back to being the first movement next week as we ramp things up. Really happy with the pulls over the past few weeks with it being 3rd or 4th movement. Things are building nicely

Got some good Sunday, grown up jobs done today. Removed a bit of the kitchen, cleaned the gym and sorted a couple of throwing bags out ready for training tomorrow.
Walked just over 2.2miles with the dogs today in the glorious sunshine.
Very good rest day, heavy training day tomorrow.

It depends how limited your ankle dorsiflexion is really.
The vast majority of people get on best with adidas weightlifting shoes which have what I would deem a standard sized heel wedge.
If you require more (due to limited ankle range or you squat very deep) then go for the Nikes.

Got down the farm this morning to get some work done on the unit. Gave the stone platform and stones a clean ready for Saturday and cleared my circus DB collection of rust and shitty liquid chalk and gave them a fresh coat of paint.
It’s a constant battle with dust down there which can be an issue with the stones and tacky so I wanted to get everything sorted for the run up to WSM.
Got another food shop done and rested for the rest of the day.
New training week starts tomorrow with a few changes/additions.

Yeah finding blocks small enough to take into a public gym is always going to be hard but you can always find a way. I remember walking into Ripped Gym with a 70kg strongman log over my shoulder once 🤣
The DC blocks are very good and very light.
If you’re looking for something small you’ll need to custom make some like Louis suggested.
Another option is to stack plates in the gym and pull off those. Bumpers ideally but any plates work.
