    Get some micro plates mate. I don’t like the idea of measuring progress with fractions of reps.

    I think either is fine mate

    Just don’t be impatient with your rest period in that situation. Don’t rush it, be sure that you are fresh and ready to roll on the new weights

    That said, you can blow your down set out the water too – up to you

    I like all of that, but when it’s big big stuff, I like hip hop, rap, rock

    Eminem Til I Collapse
    MGK Ft Kid Rock Bad MotherFucker
    Yelawolf Get the fuck up
    Redman Smash Somthin’
    DMX It’s Dark and He’ll is Hot

    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
