Do you ever work in behind the back Smith machine shrugs? I have tried it but can't decide on it's effectiveness.

Hoping for good news from the doc.

I just want to go hard on leg day and I can't which is tearing me apart inside.

Man, we're all gettin banged up haha! Keep grindin bro.

Those Norton's are kind of a big deal. I'll be the slightly orange anorexic one staring at everyone's food.

Hope for good news on the leg, be smart and take time off (i know it sucks). Training around injuries is the biggest pain in the ass ever.

Yeah I have been working around this for so long I just want to find out the truth.

My how a year changes things.

Taking time off is something I have refused to do but if a Dr. says it will help then I will listen.

I couldnt workout hard for about a month because of a pinched nerve which turn out to be a few! But rather have it be a month than a few months!

Agreed, I am also familiar with some mitigation tactics to prevent muscle loss during time off.

[The Solution]

Hope to hear good things from the Doc.

Any news will be good news, plus I am working around it for now.

Thanks Bob.

Hopefully everything will be ok tomorrow!


Its good your working around it

Were see PR's in no time

A day at the Dr.

Went into an orthopedic Dr. last night to see about my left leg issue. I got an X-ray which showed no damage of any kind. After being examined the Dr. believes I have either a bad adductor strain or a tear of my labrum. He said its most likely a strain that I have not allowed to heal which makes the most sense since I got this issue during prep and have not stopped training since.

I am scheduling an MRI for next week and then I will find out for sure. Best case scenario its just a strain and I have to do some rehab exercises. That would be ideal!

So after that I went to the gym and hit a post contest deadlift PR of 465. Still far from my gym PR of 505 or my meet PR of 535. Progress for sure though as I didn't feel all that great and did some high rep sets before doing a bunch of 1's.

From there I just thrashed my back and traps and now I am looking forward to the DOMS.

Europa Expo this Friday and Saturday at the Orlando Convention Center. I look forward to meeting some people and seeing some familiar faces.

Hope you find out it's just a strain. I had a torn labrum in my hip back in my early 20s and had to have it surgically repaired. I did feel like a million bucks after I healed up though. Take care.

Me too...although any solution at this point I will be happy about. He did say if surgery is required it would be arthroscopic.

[The Solution]

I hope it does not come to that...

Great night in the gym as i was just one rep off my all time best on incline bench press. I am really pushing myself hard these days and its showing. My metabolism is going great as I am finally eating more food than I want to and losing weight. Lifts seem to be improving by the week and I feel great. I am looking forward to resolving this problem with my leg so I can continue improving all over.

[KoHuskie]

Heavy ass incline bench and flies Paul. Keep taking the leg one day at a time.

...I am finally eating more food than I want to and losing weight...

Absolutely love this sentence. I'm almost to this point, but I'm maintaining weight instead of losing!

[The Solution]

Eating more food and losing weight.. does life get any better?
Well if you dont have to get surgery that is haha
