I have no idea what I am doing-Haphaazardly training my way to being a strongman

[csday924]

i should do a $20 push/pull meet, even though its only gonna be like 500 lbs., just to get out and do something/be involved

First thing you have ever said I approve of. Best of luck to you srs.

I forgot to add in this. I can officially announce that I have quit chewing tobacco. Havent had a dip in a month, dont miss it at all, dont ever want another one again. I am trying to start my new years resolutioning off a little on the slower side so that I dont try to change my entire life at once. This years official resolution will be to lose 15lbs and to hit 1 p/l meet at 242 and one strongman comp at 231lbs

I quit a few years ago, best thing I ever did, don't miss it at all. Your goals look similar to mine, but I plan on gaining 15lbs

Do it or back to being red for you. I dont care if you total 0, everyone should compete. I promise it will be a great experience.

[austin.j.taylor]

I am a badass lifter.

I fully intend to out total you in a meet this year. I probably wont outbench you though.

Came in here to post the same thing. UPA meet, After that SM til nats.

[austin.j.taylor]

So I had planned not to deload. Apparently my gym doesnt like that idea because it is closed until Sunday now because they are moving. Originally they where supposed to be closed for 24 hours to do the move, but something about the door key and security, blah, blah, and blah.


Also I went to the doctor about my wrist yesterday as it has been bugging me again. Was told the normal stuff, dont lift too heavy, squats are bad for knees, typical doctor crap. Wrist has carpal tunnel symptons but he didnt want to go all the way and say thats what I have. He told me to rest it completely, wear an uncomfortable brace, and take a crap load of NSAIDS. I am going to take his advice and rest my wrist for another wave of jugg method. I want this healed up so I can do some comps this year. I will still do another misc upper day, but there wont be any push exercises in it.

Sounds like a plan. I am just hoping to not have to take a token bench attempt.

You need to heal that wrist up....my bench has exploded over the past few months to that of a high school sophmore so you're going to have to pay catch up!!!

I have been watching your benching and been amazed. You have put more pounds on it in the last 3 months than in the year prior to that. I may have to get a wade program for bench

Austin, tell me about what you use supplement wise. Everything from muscle head stuff to anything herbal, anything and everything. I can make some suggestions if you like. NSAIDS and alot is not necessarily a full proof plan.

How did you injure it?

I take 5 g of fish oil
Orange Triad multi
Syntha 6 isolate
psyllium husk fiber
Not really sure how I hurt it, I did punch a guy when I was drunk, but it didnt hurt until a week or so after that.

[bigwade800]

Here are a couple of things to read about and then see for yourself.

Vitamin C heals at the cellular level. Many say, and it always happens when I speak to groups, will say C for immunity. The liver loves C so I can see that but, look at what it's really doing. It strengthens the circulatory system and connective tissue, it really helps the healing process with connective tissue. However, the 250 mg dose is like pissing in the wind. You need much more.

Cissus is a great joint/healing supplement.

There are all sorts of herbal things that will be much easier on you for inflammation. White Willow Bark, Bromelain, Boswellia, Clove,m Cayenne, Ginger....all of these things will help with inflammation.

You're spot on with a healthy oil and you might even use Coconut oil in addition.
