Rest day.
Physio session this morning then relaxed for the rest of the day. I’ve got a sponsor appearance in the midlands tomorrow so stopped off at the lake for an overnighter as it’s on the way. Will be off early to get over to the event.

Back home after visiting some family and friends this weekend. Straight into the gym for my deadlifts. Into a mini taper for my next comp on Saturday so dropped all non essential work and just got my block pulls and axle deadlifts done. New suit is feeling great. Pulled 440 from 12inch then dropped back to 270 on the axle for a couple of reps to ensure I’m comfortable getting down to the bar before the axle deadlift next week.
First wave of the deadlift programme done now and excited to up the weight and block height for the next phase.

Way too hot today so took a rest day and push training back to tomorrow. I’ll get in the gym in the morning to get my pressing done.

Rest day.
Out next to the lake tonight fishing. Plenty of water with me as it was a hot one today. Will get up early and pack away before it gets too hot.

Thank you all. I get my MRI results back in a couple days but I’ll start contacting some private surgeons now. Including the one Adam mentioned.
Many thanks
Yep call the Arm Clinic tomorrow morning. If I recall correctly Prof Watts does consultations on Wednesdays and Fridays so well worth getting the ball rolling asap. They also have an extremely good MRI team in the Wilmslow hospital if you need fast images. You should be able to have your images sent directly to Watts if you want to go down that route.
He is the best in the UK for sure with an unbelievable track record. Reattached my bicep and tricep and I’ve recommended him to countless people now.

Yep to echo what the others have said going private will be the best option. Depending on where you are based I can really recommend Prof Watts of the Arm Clinic in Wilmslow.
For distal bicep reattachment they usually want to operate as soon as possible to grab the tendon before it retracts any further.

Warm one today. Trained at the farm early and still sweated buckets. Long runs outside with the yoke Conans carries which felt really good, grip and breathing feel correct. Then finished with a 100-180kg stone run. Sweat and stones do not mix well so took it easy and I’ll likely repeat this as a final stone run next Wednesday when it’s cooler.

Hot one in the gym today. Used the fixed axle for some light work alongside my usual circus DB session. Working the clean on the BB felt good as did the DB work, a lot more confident with it now on my left arm.

Rest day.
Had a proper clear out of the tool shed this morning and ended up with a full van for a trip to the tip. Proper melting through most of the day, especially while grilling up a load of chicken thighs and steak for the coming days.
Hot couple of days coming up here in the UK. Hydration and staying cool will be the name of the game.

Pulls this morning then picked up a fixed barbell a friend of mine has quickly knocked up for me to train the circus bb press on. Very cool. Repeated the pulls from 15” again this week as I wasn’t happy with them last week. Way better today and happy I repeated the session.

It’s most likely going systemic pretty quickly when doing subcutaneous jabs so I wouldnt worry about it too much.
Where possible i try and get it close to the injury site just in case there are localised effects but if it’s overly difficult I’ll just get it somewhere near.

Rest day. Body feeling good today, nothing overly painful which is nice. Back in the gym tomorrow for some pressing.
