Rest day.
Slow start this morning but got a load of stuff done around the house in the afternoon and this evening. Body is feeling a bit sore after yesterday’s pulls but I have physio in the morning to sort things out ready for another training week.

Busy day. Got my deadlift session ticked off this morning then off to the rugby to catch up with the Quins lads and give one of my colleagues a proper send off as he is leaving the club after 18 years. Late night but worth it. Block pulls in the new suit felt great.

Pretty common reaction for Mots c. I like to dilute my Proforma 40mg vial with 3ml of bac water and always combine it with my SS31 in the same pin. Definitely helps. Also jabbing it slow helps.
I have heard that jabbing it IM also helps but I personally haven’t had to do that.

Back in the gym today and reintroducing the circus BB press. I’m in the process of having a fixed one fabricated but it’s not ready yet so just went with a standard barbell on my Mirafit XL bumper plates. Kept it at 80% comp weight today and I’ll jump it up next week.

Body a little sore today after yesterday’s session, rest day sorted me out. Bodyweight climbing slowly.
Had my bloods back earlier this week and all markers looked good. Big surprise was a jump in my eGFR which I can only put down to the addition of SS31 over the past month. For the past 12 years I’ve always had an eGFR of between 57-62 but it jumped up to 70 which is great. Will be interesting to see where it’s at when I do bloods again in around 7 weeks.

Had my bloods drawn this morning then off for my weekly physio session. Left pec and left hip have been giving me some minor issues this past week so they were the focus today.
In the gym in the afternoon with circus DB being reintroduced today. Started light as I always do when reintroducing strongman events, felt spot on so happy to progress this next week.

Rest day.
Got a load of work done in the garden today including cleaning the patio and cleaning the glass roof. Somehow got sunburnt – typical, I spend a week in Spain and only get sunburn when back in the UK.
Bloods taken tomorrow, 14 weeks till deadlift world champs

Yeah I agree probably time to get it assessed in person by a decent physio.
Have you tried daily isometric holds on it? 3 sets of 20-45sec holds against a solid object in a slightly flexed position.

Final day in Spain done with plenty of time in the pool. Landed back in the uk and happy to be heading home. Can’t wait to be in my own bed, kitchen and gym. Some pressing tomorrow.

Got my lower session done this morning. It’s frustrating training in a busy gym with people not training hard – way too much chatting, checking phones and taking selfies going on while I was waiting for kit to become free. Makes me very thankful I have my home gym. Anyway got my session done – took a deload for lower as my hips were feeling a little beat up after 3 heavy weeks. Evening was then spent at a beach wedding which was very nice. Happy to be heading home tomorrow very much ready to be getting back to my routine.
