A nice step forward today with rehab…..walking around the housr on no crutches now. Up and down stairs too. I just take my crutch to the gym. I’m still having moments where it feels like it’s gonna go.

Today I did upper back pull-down x 3
Low puller row x 3
Low incline smith x 3
Pec fly x 3
Side lateral x 3
SA extension x

Then my rehab work which felt solid today

I always keep an intra in regardless but if you are working on that rule assess how fast you drop before post workout meal

How do you feel, perform what are BG levels at?

So being a dad…..pretty surreal feeling. I can’t quite put it into words. There’s been lots of emotions flying around this week. It’s been hectic. But amazing. Lack of sleep but its worth it, can’t actually describe the feeling.

I’ve not had my routine for a while and I feel like a fat marshmallow. Very low drugs but I really don’t see any point in pushing anything until I can train and move how I want to and have routine again with little Effie.

I’ve even considered training at 4am when we get past this first 2 weeks who knows but I’ll figure it all out and be back in shape

Sleep…..thing of the past 😂 got about 2 hours broken until 3am with little girl. Then about 20 mins at 9am about an hour at 3pm

Trained and did my rehab at 8pm pheebs mum came round whilst pheebs grabbed some sleep ready for night shift again.

Knee has got stronger the last couple of days I’m going around the house with no crutch 75% of the time just stairs not yet.

But we are getting there. Seems to stick for a few days a week and then we progress again nicely

Been a hectic couple of days with a newborn, we’re defo not in a routine just yet. It’s been an amazing couple of days. Very little sleep but it’s worth it

Did my rehab at like 10am and 9pm which is mad but I’m getting it done.

Couple of days away from the log guys as pheebs went in to labour early Sunday morning 5am and we had our 1st baby girl Sunday night at 10:30pm

It’s a feeling can’t actually describe. Phoebe was amazing, so we had Monday in the hospital as they were making sure everything was okay to go home and we got home Monday night, so today was the fist full day at home together. She’s perfect.

Effie Rae styles – 8lb 1oz very healthy.

Back to rehab and an upper session today whilst we had visitors so I can get back into it. Medial knee still giving me some grief currently but I did all my work and ready to take some more progressions next week

Had a great session with Toby for my rehab Friday. Also 2 in person check in with clients competing this weekend, and a midwife appt with pheebs who’s now 2 days overdue.

Progress taken with my rehab but also a slight sticking point with a couple of exercises due to a slight niggle pain in my medial knee. Think it’s some instability and also lack of strength in tibial rotation at this stage. So we are leaving step ups and step downs for a while until I build a little more strength with weigh my shifts and pronation reps

I’m getting back into nailing my nutrition to the T from tomorrow I’ve been a little more relaxed and I need to dial it back in fully.

The guys have nailed it here what would be good would be to see you perform the movement so we can look at your form

Some more progress today on my rehab. Flexion and bike work. So I’m happy but not satisfied.

Tomorrow is my rehab session with Toby and we have the midwife and also an in person check in so will rest tomorrow as I have lots of check ins to box off and baby styles may come any second

Protein – bulk chicken, mince, tuna
Carbs – potato, rice, oats, pasta

Costco or somewhere like this is always good.

After a frustrating few days rehab wise I took a good step forward today. Got 8 mins total on the bike.

5 mins on the recumbant bike to start which is easier – then my rehab work which progressed quite nicely on sit to stands with just how it felt and strength. And the 3 mins in stationary bike which the gait is defo different and harder but I got the full rotation after a little pain but then got through 3 mins.

I am now in a position where I can probably get 5k steps in on 1 crutch.

And then 4 upper sessions a week with some SL leg work added on.

So I may put a little cycle in.

280mg/wk Test
525mg/wk Mast
70mg/wk NPP

GH stays at 6iu
T4 100mcg

MOTS-C 2mg on TD
SS31 1mg daily
SLU 600mcg daily

We go away in 13 weeks so I’d like to not resemble a marshmallow

Diet set up will be

300g protein
500g carb
75g fats

NTD will be the same but 50g carb less intra workout

5 meals a day

Nothing is needed. And for the majority not something we need to worry about. There are some benefits to adjusting resistance profiles with some movements based on where you have them in the session as Meg states.

But don’t confuse yourself with them.

Where is your leg extension in the session? And how many sets. With a leg extension on a prime I would normally go mid, the mid to lengthened.

Going short even early on would cause be aggro in the knees. And I like it to drop off just a touch as it gets shorter so I can really focus on the contraction

Upper and rehab later on today.

SA machine pull-down x 2
Low incline smith x 2
Flat press x 2
Upper back row x 2
SA row x 2
Pec dec x 2

Then my light day rehab…..

I think things are moving on the flexion side of things a little more, it’s slow and painful but it’s progressing.

Still feel a little pain and instability in the medial side of my knee. But seeing Toby Friday to go through some new exercises to correct this and build some strength to support that. It’s due to my lateral tenodesis procedure I think. Which is frustrating because I feel I can push a little more without this. And could be off crutches within a week or so if this wasn’t holding me up.
