    Thanks guys, much appreciated!
    I’ve booked in to see my usual therapist who I go to when I have any electrotherapy/massage work done, will see what she thinks – and yes was thinking should probably be taking cure-coming/join-in year round, particularly now that I’m seeing my strength creep up and the loads are becoming heavier. Have never tried either before but have heard great feedback so will look to order both when I can find them in stock anywhere. I did look into how peptides can help but being a natural I feel a bit anxious in taking them! Will probably see how recovery progresses first, but thanks!

    Hi mate

    Just to add/reinforce

    Careful with massage, you don’t want to damage it further, but there can be benefit to breaking down/reducing scar tissue build up

    Get it moving and working ASAP for blood flow. Obviously be sensible in what you are doing, use comfort as a guide

    I’m with the giant, there’s more movement variations there than you’re giving credit to!
    Lots can be done with a subtle enough shift

    I was looking at making big changes each rotation but just switching angles and back from dbs and barbels and machines il be able to add more rotations.
    Thank you all

    I’m with the gang

    I think take advantage of the empty headspace to think about what you’re doing, why you’re doing it

    Walking to the gym used to be an important part of my session

    With regard to supps, take your pre as normal mate

    Do you know it’s tendinitis or are you assuming that it’s tendinitis?

    You don’t want to start treating something that you don’t have a diagnosis for

    That would be my first step, you will then have a number of different therapy options

    February 8, 2020 at 7:39 pm in reply to: deload

    There isn’t much to add here other than method of deload

    If you are keen to stay in the gym and continue your movements, you can consider a drop in load, but still operate to the same rep ranges (I.e, your set is not taking you to a fail point)

    Another thing to consider is if you have a wholesale change of movements rotating in after the deload, this can be a good time to have a sighting session to feel the movements and find out where you are. That said, it’s easy to overcook it with new movements so this will require discipline to ensure you aren’t working close to a fail point

    Hi mate

    Agree with the guys here

    Isolation work first, higher rep sets, utilising bands on movements that it makes a good difference to

    Let us know mate
