284 still , just sitting here , I’m just doing push today ! I can’t do full upper , im gonna fucking smash push and then go back in tmo for pull.

On the fucked scale last night I was high, if 10 is so fucked up you feel like you wanna die , I was like an 8 , 8.5 lol . Corinne was out all day at her Nans, I waited for her to come home so I could give her a hug as I don’t like going to bed without seeing her and then I was out , slept well and I’m acceptable this morn , I could get out of bed this morn which means I can train

That sounds extreme but I over train myself into the ground to the point where I can’t get out of bed physically because I feel so unwell/crushed , and then I take my rest because i have earned it. That imo is how you get stronger than basically anyone else you know and bigger than basically anyone else you know , obviously you may get gifted those things, but I don’t , which can be seen in how hard I’m Having to work to get back to the size I was . I think people way over think fatigue management , and basically just become complete pussies as a result ! And just never really get truly big or strong as they don’t train on the days they are wrecked and just immediately rest , or don’t ever train hard enough to get themself wrecked !

It’s been a frustrating week, and I’m up and down in mood , I want to compete this year so fucking bad and get back to stringing comps together and getting back working towards what was always the bigger goal, so some days I’m just a moody bastard atm because of it , but hey it’s all fuel!

I hope everyone has had a great week, and hopefully you gain some comfort in knowing that this isn’t coming easy for me either ! And for 99/100 , it doesn’t come easy , so keep working and most importantly , don’t let anyone into your space that makes you feel like you can’t do it , sack those people off / don’t share with those people , keep chat on diff topics and protect your goal and only share it with people that believe , and if atm , no one believes , then you have to keep it to yourself For now and just protect it , because if you let people slow you down , they can chip away at that big shiney goal and over time it loses its shine and it becomes this dull , faded Memory of a dream , but if you look after it like it’s your prized possession, you keep it shiney and fresh and never let anyone fuck around with it , you will keep striving towards it

Very much appreciate this read today.

Thank you all for taking the time to come back to me.

PED use been in play since the start of February so I guess blood work now will be a next step.

But I’ve taken all the comments on board, so thank you. ☺️

I am currently suffering with tendinitis myself. It flares up when I get heavier and stronger generally in a push. And loading movements. It’s very frustrating and I try to battle through but it affects my sessions. I back off anything that’s aggravating it and work in slightly higher rep ranges.

Double up on my omegas and curecoming and I’ve just booked a course of shockwave therapy aswell as my usual sports therapy each week.

Thank you for the reply mate, I’ll look to shockwave therapy locally and give it a try 😀

[Jason Holmes]

Tendonitis is something that can be controlled to minimise flare ups, but you need to acknowledge the triggers. Rest is the first thing you need to do to let the inflammation subside. Take natural anti inflammatory supplements consistently – Cure-Coming, Join-In and Oh-Mega Pharma pro. See a physio who will advise you on tendon strengthening exercises, as well as offering treatment. Soft tissue massage, stretches, alongside shockwave therapy has shown to be effective. Some people find that dry needling, a form of acupuncture, can be useful too.

Once you’ve allowed the inflammation to subside, identify exercises that particularly aggravate the issue and avoid them if possible. Use cuffs and wrist wraps if they help and be smart with your training and execution. Work in higher rep ranges if necessary.

Don’t ignore it and train through the pain or it will just get worse.

Thank you 😊 I think in truth I’ve worked through it and it’s lead me here. To a point of not being able to work through it anymore. Stupid really.
Thank you for the advise 😃

Hey guys, I didn’t realise my post had posted, apologies. Kept failing!

Anyway, mainly pressing movements..

For some examples..

Dumbbell pressing I can’t do.

As basic as press ups, I can’t do.

Neutral grip nautilus chest press, I can within reason.

Shoulder pressing is too painful too.

Bicep work again causes a real pain too.

Pull work, it doesn’t cause too much issue or at least not enough for me to not train how I’d like too.

Any rotation during a bicep curl causing pain in the forearm too. Which I believe is caused by this issue.

I hope some of this makes sense and isn’t too much to read.

It’s been an on going issue and slowly got worse.

I know it can take upto 18 months to recover, I’m just holding onto hope theres some ways to aid it. 🤞

Appreciate all the replies!

These are images from the back of the photo shoot prep last year (December). Currently in process of a prep again now but not lean enough to show it just yet.

I appreciate both responses!

Stretch marks are evident too, but I know tanning over them is doable.

Hey Jason, you look fab! And honestly first thing I noticed was your physique over your skin ?

It doesn’t look bad at all but I know when it’s an insecurity it can play in mind! But getting loose skin removal will be entirely your decision here but honestly you look great and it’s not overly noticeable ✨[/quote]
Hey Rhea,

Thank you for the kind words ?

Yeah it’s a strange one, some days it bothers me more than others.

I think I’ll hold off a little while and see how I feel over some more time.

Again, thank you! ?

[Jason Holmes]

Hey bud

Depends on how severe it is please send some pictures

Unsure if I need to tag on the replies man, so apologies if this notifies twice.

Thank you all! I changed how I do after all the advise! Appreciate it as always!

@jasonholmes35@gmail.com did you get this done?

Hi mate, I had the surgery just over 8 weeks ago.

I haven’t got any before and afters saved my my phone at the moment.

I did document it slightly on my YouTube. So feel free to have a look on there.

Search Jason Holmes and hopefully it should show!

[Jason Holmes]

@Kalim.Kadir following your comment I had an online consult with him. And now close to pulling the trigger having it done via him.

Did you find the whole process with him great or is there anything you could advise me of?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

[Jason Holmes]

Thank you @Kalim.Kadir I’ll look to get in touch with him tomorrow.

[Jason Holmes]

Thank you for such a quick reply mate @Hilly – what would you recommend to start with dosage wise for caber?
I can also look at getting a progesterone test too.
