The Beginning
I played rugby through-out high school. During my senior year I broke my right foot, and then later developed patello-femoral pain syndrome in my right knee while I was on crutches. The pain has kept me from playing this past season, but to get my aggression out I started powerlifting. I'm going to get a re-diagnosis of my knee because the pain should have subsided by now.
This winter after my re-diagnosis I will evaluate whether I can play rugby again, and if so I will probably return to my college's rugby club this spring as a second side player to build up stamina, speed, and my rugby skill and knowledge that I've been without for almost two years. I also have a few powerlifting tournaments up-coming in the new year so I'm excited for that. I compete raw in a geared division in the 198 lbs. weight class.
I will constantly keep this journal updated with weekly videos and the numbers I hit in the gym, as well as the progress on my injury.

I noticed you perform prehabilitation exercises after the your workout.
Personally, I do these as part as my warm-up to get blood flowing into the muscles. Also the muscles you're most likely are targeting for prehabilitation along with you CNS will be more taxed after execution of multi-joint exercises & single-joint isolation exercises. In contrast, execution of the prehabilitation exercises prior will not tax either the CNS or Muscles but in all likelihood act as a primer and a means of an active warm-up.
Moving these exercises isn't going to make or break your program, but this is just my personal experience and the norm of others that I model my training after.
Best of luck.Off-Season Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120401851

Notes:
Definately could have gone heavier today but after a week off I wanted to ease into the program. No point in burning out too quickly. I felt like I could have done multiple singles with 315. First time doing SG Pulls, didn't feel it too much in my hamstrings but definately in my upper back and grip so hopefully I see a carry-over to the lockout in my pull.

Notes:
Felt great today on the floor press even though I didn't lockout my final set. I got really burned out half-way through my workout though so I need to bring my work capacity back up. My rows are very weak, but I'm going to try to stick with pretty strict form until I can rep out the 100's for 5, then I will probably move to "kroc rows".

Well when I wake up I down a shake with just water and casein powder, so that's about 25 grams. And then I'll cook, and eat about 45 minutes after my shake and the 4 oz. of ground beef is again about 25 grams and then 10 grams in the glass of milk. So in the first hour of being awake probably anywhere between 50-60 grams. My meals for the rest of the day are spread out 2-4 hours.
Edit: I don't like taking in carbs early in the morning on days that I train, they always leave me really sluggish so I try to stick to just protein and fat.Last edited by CaseyPL; 11-24-2009 at 06:59 PM.
