BigBen's first bodybuilding competition log

[3J]

OK, an update, but not a good one...

I've torn my right tricep quite badly, meaning I'm going to be at least 4-6 weeks before I can do any pressing again...

I'm doing everything I can other than that, sticking to my plan with the diet, training around the injury - but if this drags on, I'm going to be forced to reconsider when I do this show...

I was supposed to be bulking until early December - but if I can't do any pressing (or leg work, still waiting on injection) until October - I'm not going to be able to pack on enough mass to stand me in good stead for a show.

My initial feelings at this stage, are to recover, get training with full function and pain-free again - and consider my options with regards to shows in the latter part of 2015.

I'm not stupid, I know I probably won't win my first show, but I certainly don't want to make a fool of myself either.

I'll only enter a show if I'm injury free, happy with my aesthetics, and can put together a good run up to the show without incident.

I'm gutted, but trying to keep positive with regards to simply postponing the show until I'm ready.

nothing is farther from the truth.. you have the potential to take first the first time... you just gotta come in right brother

I dont have any experience with TB500 but there are people that have recovered from tears quite well from this stuff from my understanding. I believe JIMITHING had a good experience with this stuff, give him a hollar!

I'm currently running TB500 after a shoulder injury from being hit by a drunk driver. I don't have a lot of experience with peptides, but three weeks in, I'm beggining to feel some relief. Of course I also had to stay away from lifting and do some pt.

Yes, he ran a great log on TB500 on here... my gear arrived today, I'm going to follow Jimithing's protocol to the letter starting tomorrow...

Thanks 3J... If I can be the best I can be... who knows!
But I'm not going on that stage if I can't be the best I can be - I'd rather wait a couple of months and do it right!

I was definitely going in the right direction though until this happened! Thanks bro!

OK.... 3 weeks today from the injury occurring... 4 x 2ml jabs of TB500 in - and today I did a tentative chest session.... working up slowly from 15kg incline dumbell presses - I was actually able to do 5 sets of 16 reps with the 35kg's...

I'm amazed how quick I have got to this stage!!!!

Just trying to keep it sensible and feel my way through every workout, but things are starting to move in the right direction at last!
