Rest day.
Media day with one of my sponsors filming some pieces to camera including voice over. All went well and didn’t take too long in the end.
Squats tomorrow
-
Over to the farm this morning for some light yoke and bag to shoulder. Couple of runs with 280kg over 20m and the 140kg bag to shoulder.
Afternoon session in the barn with log press out the rack up to 163kg then a set of 3 with 123kg to tick off log clean and press from the bicep rehab check list. Followed it up with 90kg circus dB press for a very easy triple.

Rest day. Body feeling ok after yesterday’s training and bodyweight is trending up which is good. Double session again tomorrow with a couple of light events at the farm then pressing in the barn later on.

My first course of action would be to eliminate the swelling as I would say it’s likely that is the cause of the limited ROM.
Either looking at some ibuprofen or a product like TBJP Join In if you don’t like NSAIDs.
Another option would be icing it 10-20mins at least once per day. Bucket of water and ice a good option here or a bag of ice if you don’t like the cold fingers haha.
While BPC is a fantastic peptide that I’ve personally found helps with soft tissue injuries like muscle tears, it isn’t a one stop shop when it comes to any injury.
Eliminated the swelling first, try not to aggravate it in training, see if ROM returns and if pain subsides. If this don’t occur then the next step is to get a decent in person diagnosis from a physio so you know what you’re dealing with.

Great session today split between the barn and the farm. Final heavy pulls done with an easy double with 390kg then reintroduced sandbag to shoulder for a few reps and finished off with some stones to make sure the bicep felt ok. Nothing crazy but a box ticked with several singles at 140kg. Zero pain so happy days.

Isometrics are a valuable tool for tendon strength and health. They are my go to for managing tendinitis symptoms.
They are not going to build you more muscle but do have useful applications for injury prevention and management.

Back at the farm for some events. Bicep felt great and had no issues with any movements. Stone walked a decent distance with a couple of turns and worked up to 140kg farmers walk for a 20m run with a drop turn.
Tricep tendons ended up being a bit sore after the session which was weird so I didn’t take the risk of doing log press this evening. I’ll move it to Mondays press session instead. Not the time to be ignoring warning signs like that.

Personally I wouldn’t be adding lantus if I was in your position until carbs are higher and you start to see a change in your resting blood glucose. I imagine your insulin sensitivity is still good being lean and coming out of a cut.
If it were me I’d be saving the lantus until it’s needed but I’m sure the other guys will chip in with their thoughts.

Plenty of the team will be here to help out. Best to give some more information though to get the best answers.
What’s your current resting blood glucose?
How much carbohydrate are you currently consuming?
How lean are you?
Are you using GH?
I’m sure the other guys will have some further questions but answering the above will help in giving answers on dosing or even if lantus is currently needed at all.

And we’re back! Apologies for the lack of updates, had some issues logging in.
Wednesdays session went well. Worked up to a top set on squats of 323kg for 10. Set started off well then I miss timed a rep and had to reset a little before finishing the set off strong. Very happy with where my squat is at for WSM.
Rest day today, hips were a little sore so a bit of moment to loosen them up then some ISOs on atlas stone pick ups (4x10sec). Pain free and felt strong.
Double session tomorrow starting off at the farm

Dial In is a phenomenal product.

Physio session this morning then had Mirafit down to the gym for some filming. Couple of product pieces and an interview then it was onto my first session in a week.
Barbell push Press 150×2
Circus DB 80×3
Incline Bench Press 155×6
Stone pick up Isometrics 4x10secCompressed my bicep with an elbow sleeve and it felt solid. Everything felt super easy. I thought the DB would feel a bit off but tbh it was the easiest it’s felt in a long time. Got the stone of steel out at the end and did my ISOs which also felt decent – had an awareness of some pain but noting unexpected. Happy to push on.

Got my curls done again today 12.5kg for 4 sets of 10, felt pretty good.
Can’t wait to do some proper lifting again tomorrow. Body feels ready to lift. I’ve got one of my sponsors over filming the session but they are very good at just letting me do my own thing for the session before we mock up some other shots.

Yeah I have used chicken mince in the past and liked it as a protein source.

Rest day. Bicep and forearm a little sore from daily curls so gave them a rest today and will do my curls tomorrow as I up the weight.
Chilled day with a couple of dog walks and afternoon spent watching the rugby.
