Isaku's Training Log

[southbankwulf]

no prob, if you can't touch in it even though its loose, you definitely need more training time.

I'd say work in it until you can touch then worry about tightening it up. washing it in a washing machine at high temps works too, but you also have to worry about the agitation picking the seams/stitches open.

good luck.

Saw the doc;

Diagnosis: Ganglion cyst on my radial ligaments, and general elbow inflammation

Prognosis: no long term effects, joint ligaments and tendons are healthy.

Treatment: short term: cortisone injection will control the pain and the inflammation from the cyst and the elbow joint to allow me to bench at the meet this saturday.

long term treatment is: rest and the body will eventually reabsorb it, if its not continually inflamed. if rest does not reabsorb the cyst, there are surgical options, but those come with a hefty price tag of 60-90 days of inactivity.

yayayayayay!

ok, and i can touch but its not easy...ill keep to the loose shirt untill its too easy to touch.

and glad to see it wasnt anything serious and you can bench in your meet.
good luck!

It's nice to know you boys can do your own laundry!

Glad to hear it's good news!

[Jason2459]

That's good news so far. My wife had a Ganglion cyst on her wrist and they tried to suck it out with a needle but couldn't do it and had to do surgery. She ended up getting another one and was able to get it sucked out.

Hopefully no surgery will be required.

I know Luyando cold washes his shirts, and said you can do this at least once leading up to a comp to re-tighten the shirt. I know some of the guys at BIG just regular wash them and it works out well too.

For the rest of us non-sponsored athletes, we just need to be careful so we don't mess up the gear a few weeks before a meet...

Take it slow with the recovery, whatever the outcome will be. I know several guys that have ripped their bicep tendon off the bone and are now stronger than ever due to backing off the weights and doing a lot of rehab. All I'm saying is don't be afraid to back off if need be. You'll come back stronger.

glad to hear about the elbow man

SFW at the fit expo

[jmt92]

glad your elbow isn't too serious. get ready to bench

[isaku900]

planned attempts:

squat: 660, 710, 733
bench: 314 raw, 500, no third
deadlift: 551, 622, 644

it is very good news about the elbow, but I'm not about to go for a PR 3 days after a cortisone shot.

solid plan man def good news that you can bench good luck getting that 1877 total

[Deadliftking]

good luck there! Those are some good squats.

[JiP]

644 is 285kg right? that'll be one hell of a pull

[isaku900]

Thanks everyone

solid plan man def good news that you can bench good luck getting that 1877 total

yeah, creeping along towards that elite total, of course I only had four weeks to train for this meet so even getting 37lbs of PRs is a good goal.

I want to smash 2000lbs in July at Nationals though, that'd be awesome.

[PumpinPaddy]

good luck in your comp, those are great numbers

i see that you are loading water to make weight

I have my first comp in a few weeks, and Ill probably only be about 210 (dont worry, im not trying to drop down) - is there any benefit in trying to try and hold water weight to get a few extra pounds, and are there any techniques to do this?
or should i just eat as normal?

just do things normally, don't screw with anything for your first competition, pretend its just a normal (if quite long) workout day.
