    Weight back up to 264 now again after struggling with appetite due to stomach ulcer but managed to eat consistently again now the last 5 days.

    Good pull session today however had to slightly adjust it as I had some tightness in my lower back so left out the bentover tbar machine row and just did chest supported movements.

    Very good legs session today, hitting some good numbers but most importantly felt really good and feel like legs are responding well now post injury.

    Pendulum matched Reps on top set and back off up by 7 reps which I was very happy with.

    As a staple in your supplement it’s not worth thinking about or tracking

    Firstly get an assessment from sports therapist to see if there is anything muscular, if not then it will be down to an alignment/form issue

    Rest day today so not a whole lot to report- had my usual deep tissue today and spent most of my day doing client work.

    Good pull/hams session today however had to ditch rdl as lower back was stiff and didn’t want to aggravate it so just did a single leg curl instead. Back section was upper back focused and went very well.

    Had my cpap machine delivered today so let’s see how that goes tonight.

    Finally today I managed 6 solid meals, a few were a struggle but got them in so hopefully can do the same tomorrow and be over this now!

    Great push session today too, I swapped out prime incl for smith incl as it’s been several weeks with no progression on the prime.

  • I have no personal experience with this but everyone I do know has had very different experiences so I’d try to seek advice from a professional if you can find someone you can just speak to about it

    Reality here is it will largely depend on your own actions- if you are 100% on your training, nutrition, recovery & programming then you can get through with minimal loss but fact is most accept the fact they are going to lose some performance and let things slip thus compounding the effect negatively

    Pull today was a struggle, appetite is non existent with stomach ulcer and low on energy.
    Start of session I didn’t think I’d finish it as felt off but as I got into the session it was ok.
    Managed to match numbers on most things.
    Only managed 2 solid meals today and a few shakes but no pain at least.

    Just need to get back into routine mate- over the next few days add in bits daily.
    Eg tomorrow ensure your get all meals in, next day meals and water, don’t over think training it will come back when you feel good in yourself

    Apologies for lack of updates- been having some stomach issues the last week or so, today ended up going to hospital due to pain. After tests and camera down my throat I have a stomach ulcer so been given meds that should clear it in a few days
