I just ensure I’m drinking plenty through the day, there’s no change pre workout.
If the weather is hot I’ll make sure I’m salting my food each meal but nothing specific.
I’ll then have my Sustain during my workout which has electrolytes in it.
No need to over complicate things – make sure staying hydrated becomes part of your daily routine each day. You definitely don’t want to be pounding a load of water and salt just before your session!

Intervals on the bike this morning – just over 11km total – it’s not much but it’s honest work haha.
No lifting today just recovery work. Usual deal with 45min walking and 1hour in the hyperbaric.
Can’t wait to get stuck into another leg session tomorrow and with the promises of a drop in temperature and some rain I’m a happy man.

Damn it was hot today! I was down the farm this morning helping out my training partner go through some events as he prepares for an upcoming show. I wasn’t even training and I was sweating buckets! Good job I took plenty of water with me.
Back home for a nap then into the barn for my own contralateral press session. Same story as usual: 4×6 on all lifts and all left side only.
Pulldown
Hammer strength chest press
Seated row
Seated DB Press
DB curl
Pressdown
Hammer curl
DB rolling extInterestingly (well for all you nerds out there) I weighed out my chest press today with the crane scale. At the bottom it was 10kg below plate weight and at lockout it was 30kg heavier than plate weight. This seems to be consistent with 1,2,3&4 plates on it. I knew it felt way heavier than a super incline for example.
Finished up the evening with 45 min walk with the dogs and the usual 1hour in the hyperbaric chamber

Rest day so just my usual 45min walk in the morning and 1hour in the hyperbaric I. The evening.
Super hot today so tried to do these bits away from the heat, especially the chamber as if it’s hot outside it gets super hot in the chamber.
Scar site is looking pretty good, one of the stitches might need extracting at some point but we’ll see how it looks.

Everyone is responding to it differently but my advice for anyone returning to training after an Illness or short break is the same:
Whatever you think you’ll do volume wise half it and do that. It’s much better to undercook your first session back and then have room to add volume in the following sessions rather than overdo it and make yourself feel worse. Think about the long game here.

Great session in Physique Warehouse today. Progresses all my lifts and picked up the pace from last week – still got my appropriate rest periods in but there certainly wasn’t any messing about:
Leg extension – x12 x15
Seated Leg Curl – x9 x15
Hammer strength seated SL press x8 x20
Back ext x10 x15
Kneeling leg curl x8 x14
Seated calf raise x12 x20
V Squat 3×20Pushed a load of carbs in post this session then it was another hour in the hyperbaric chamber before bed

I imagine the macros will be similar to venison but that’s a little Deer 😉

The peptides might help a bit but a word of warning – it’s pretty much unregulated so very tough to know if you’re getting legit product.
Either way I would advise investigating the root cause of the problem and work out why you are getting the tendinitis in the first place. What movements flare it up, how is your joint mobility above and below it (check hip, knee and ankle mobility for disfunction)
Finally I would advise some long isometrics daily to help with the tendinitis. Is the pain proximal or distal ie: is the pain closer to the knee or hip joints?
-
I would say no apart from the knee wraps.
The knee wraps will offer you some support without taking a load of weight off the muscle like the deadlift or briefs would.
Embrace bodybuilding, use some more machines and enjoy not having to go through the literal ball ache of putting suits on and off buddy.

Some sweaty bike intervals this morning followed by my morning walk with the dogs.
Got all my proper work done before it got too hot then had massage just after lunch before I headed off to Costco this evening.
A word of caution – never go to Costco hungry… that place is torture hahaha
Just the hyperbaric chamber session to go tonight
-
Great advice from Oscar there.
Train around it best you can and avoid any movements that cause any pain until you know what’s going on in there.
-
Another positive training and rehab day done.
Kicked it off with my morning 45min walk with the fur missiles then in the gym for a contralateral push/pull session. All exercises were left side only for 4×6:
Pulldown
Hammer strength chest press
Seated row
Seated DB Press
DB curl
Cable pressdown
DB hammer curl
DB Rolling extensionTook the dressing and steri strips off my op site today and the scar is looking neat and tidy.
Gonna finish the evening off in the hyperbaric chamber for an hour while I read a book.

I feel that many people over complicate sodium intake.
Add salt to your food to your taste i.e a sensible amount.
If you’re a heavy sweater then add electrolytes to your fluids around your training window.

Monday’s lower session
SSB squat – x10 x20
SSB Goodmornings – x10 x15
Seated leg curl – x8 x17
Leg Press – x10 x20
Standing calf Raise – x10 x27
Leg Raises – 3×15Solid session in the barn today progressing all lifts. First session without the sling on as well which made things much easier.
Finished up the evening with a 45min walk and an hour in the hyperbaric chamber

HGH is definitely not a game changer. It all depends what you want out of it.
I think people expect too much of it and think of it as a wonder drug so are disappointed with their perceived results from it.
From a recovery and injury rehabilitation/prevention point of view it is effective.
I would describe it as the icing on the cake. If the funds are there and you want to cover all bases it will be helpful. Most of the time you won’t even realise it’s “working”
For the vast majority of people training it isn’t an essential addition
