Everything grows with HGH you say?


Mwaaahahahahahahahhahahaha...


Seriously though, had a good session today 20 mins interval running, 20 mins interval cycling, excluding warm ups and cool downs. Upped some weights. Finally my triceps and shoulders are letting me work out my chest. Exercises that work out your chest always seem to work those out too and they always gave way before my chest did. I think I'm finding an equilibrium there.

Well this makes the squats on a swiss ball pic look tame:

My weights arrived. Didn't come with spring clips though.

How essential is a squat rack? My brother will be with me whenever we're doing it so it's not like I'm alone with it. I also have a bench, but it doesn't have a weight holder bit. Hopefully not a problem.

This will end up a total mess without either of those things.

You will inevitably be squatting more than you or your brother can maneuver easily. Likewise with the benchpress. Likewise the Shoulder Press.

After trying to get my starting weights tonight I think a bench rack at least will be essential, so we don't have to keep picking it up off the floor.

Think I finally got the squad with good form. My feet were always too close together and not pointed outwards enough. Not enough weight for a challenge there yet, but feels good mayne.

Hit a relatively easy 200kg squat tonight.

I squatted 60kg this morning and felt like a boss.

Still only been at it for about three months worth of once-a-week though. I think I'll be at 100kg easy by the end of the year.

Down at my best weight yet of 100.5kg, looking to get down to 99.x by next Monday if possible. Still training like a beast.

Well done Cora. Keep in mind that I've been doing this for about 4 years now.

Keep up the training.

The plan is to boss it during the Summer. I only really have one day a week where I can do weights at the moment and that's enough, but I think I could either expand it or add another day in later on in the week when I don't have to worry about making class or going to Ewood for a few months.

Continued ankle rehab tonight. 20 mins on treadmil, 3.35km on level 10. Most the ankle has done in one go since about october 2010 due to injury. Felt good. Then normal weights session. tomorrow off then back on it on weds. Trying to do 4 work outs a week at the mo. Have done so for last month and a half now. All about getting strength back into ankle, and overall fitness back up, in time for the cricket season.

Still too scared to try a bowling action... So much pressure onto the ankle. Terrified it's gonna give way...

Forgive me if you're already doing it, but you need to strengthen your ankle more comprehensively if you're worried about it buckling when bowling. For example, hops, fowards and backwards to work on stabilisation.

Yo

Yeah been doing physio like that sorta thing since november-ish, a couple of months after my op. Pre-op I had physio to fix the mis-diagnosis I was given... my last session of physio ended with me trying to hop and collapsing on the floor... cue my physio woman saying "You're well on the way to recovery. Keep doing that".... so I went private and got a real diagnosis and surgery.... But yeah I can hop a lot better now. With the weakness in the ankle I have, if the worst happens and too much weight goes on it and too suddenly, my talus and fibula actually hit each other which explains the rather large amount of pain when it used to happen a lot . Lots of static exercises like pulling my toes towards my body while lying down, and trying to flatten my foot forwards while lying down to get those ligaments back into shape.

When I started my pre-op physio and tried to flatten my feet while lying down, my working ankle went all the way down obviously and my right ankle literally couldn't go more than half-way Slightly depressing.

But anyway - Yay for rehabilitation and hard work in the gym, and for amazing surgeons

I finally went swimming today. What's considered to be a good swimming work out?

I haven't been doing Cuban Pete's workout thing, because the week after I had surgery I started a pretty physical job, meaning I have no strength or will left in the evening to do even more workout. The swimming is good for my back, though, so I'm going to try and do that regularly. I just got back from my first session and I already feel better than usual.

Did a good chest/tricep workout last night. Need to get back onto the circuits though, whenever I go to the gym late in the evening it's all so easy to just call it off at the end.

My squats were very good today. The first time in a long while that I've actually been happy with them.


Anyone got any tips for tennis elbow? I overdid it at badminton yesterday and seem to have wound up with a slight case of it.

Bad session yesterday. I bumped the speed up on the treadmill and as a result had to stop 5 mins earlier than normal

Can anyone recommend a relatively affordable and good belt? I wouldn't even know where to start looking but I think I definitely need one.
