Hey Marc, have you got a contact e-mail to discuss online PT and/or in person learning to pose session? Apologies, dont have socials apart from Linkedin.

Enjoy the weekend!

Session went well – introduced BB high bar back squats – 20, 40, 60, 80 for 5 reps with a pause for 2-3 seconds at the bottom then 100kg for 4 with no pause.

No pain, tingle etc in the finger – feeling good – pure bodybuilding for other part of the workout.

Bought a few TBJP Vegan Sachets from Black Fri – bloomin hell – choc pistachio is amazing and great macros, no clumping, spot on.

yeh its my fave – i do 2 shakes a day and then solid foods and have done for years

There legit is no better vegan protein on the market[/quote]

Agreed, appreciate heads up! This will be the go to buy.

Doing better, wound has now fully closed, I can straighten the finger and move the tip portion, which I couldn’t do before.

Currently doing upper left arm, legs next day, rest and repeat.

No compounds allowed currently and seeing clinic next Tues to see what to do next.

Working hard to get back to it!

Agree here I’d just go in & see what you can do, there is always something, you could even for lateral raises cuff from the elbow IF you don’t feel it in your hand.. same for front raises, there’s quite a few ways to adapt!

Hope your recovery is okay! Sounds nasty!!

Thanks Kerry, it ain’t fun, life lesson learned! I am currently just doing bodybuilding routine and then once signed off will go into powerlifting. I really love strongman training but just doesn’t make sense as I am pretty having to look after myself with injuries, which has been tricky.

Did left arm upper workout yesterday, machines & DBs, went fine, a little uncomfortable as you need to use the right arm to stablise, however, still a good session!

[Damian Zhang]

Thanks all, will do! Looking forward to it!

I’ve been to action fit before & really rate it!!!

Thanks Kerry 🙂

Hi, perhaps I can help you since being one of the few Italians here on this site. Best gym in Milan is definitely “Paradise gym” however is a semiprivate gym. Best gym (equipment/ location wise are called “Action Fit”. They are equipped by Panatta and most of them are in the city center.
Hope I can have helped you!

Thanks Valerio! Appreciate that, super stuff, will go to Action Fit, looks good!

[Damian Zhang]

Yes, I would just go in and have a play around, see what feels good and what you can/can’t do.

Thanks Clare 🙂

Did a 30 min walk this morning just to get my cardio up, worked at home, managed to type with right hand using a different finger. Fracture clinic called and said the 2-3cm wound down the finger was so deep it just missed the bone, was told I fucked it up good and proper. Need to see them in Southend next week for another xray and whatever else, also got a dressing/wound appointment down the road on Thurs.

Planning to do cardio outside tomorrow, wed will be legs and will try left arm upper body, if it doesnt work out, then i’ll use common sense and leave for the time being.

Bought myself some TBJP Maple Syrup CoR, a few vegan sachets and distressed trousers from the sale, the trousers are fab for winter and look pretty mint.

BW: Weight scales broken lol

Back to good form, decided to pack in strongman training, my finger is broken but the 2-3cm wound on the fingers has not stopped bleeding, which was on and off since Thursday evening, pain is a 2-3 out of 10 so all good.

Considering powerlifting or bodybuilding.

Watched Zootopia 2 with Mrs, enjoyed it. We also did gym this morning, first time since injury:

1) Leg extension 4 x 12

2) Standing single leg curl 4 x 12

3) Hip thrust machine – 3 x 12

4) V-squat – 3 x 11

I love TBJP Maple Syrup

My husband’s pain is much more manageable today, although I’ll still need to be around as and when throughout the day to help him do things until he gets more strength and mobility in his arm. He’s also just got an appointment through to start the process to get an operation on his other shoulder, as both were damaged, so it looks like as soon as this one is healed, we’ll have to go through this all again.

Anyway; I got out to the gym this morning for a quick upper session, then back home to get on with my work and course study.

Positive wishes for your husband! Take it easy both of you.

– So atlas stone, 60kg, 4th rep, crushed my finger between stone and yoke height (increased it to comp height).

– Broken finger, open wound, pain 24/7 and still bleeding in A&E for a 2nd time.

– Felt sorry for myself last night, today i’v picked myself up and it’s time to rebuild.
