Had a great back and shoulder workout last night. We chose the more mainstream gym since I had to stay late to work and my entire week may be like that.

It was packed but I was still able to get done what I wanted to. I haven't done a training write up in awhile but here's what I did:

Bent over wall ez bar row 4 x 8-10 (use a wall or column to prevent leg drive)
Lat pull down 3 x 8-10 last set rest/pause
Hammerstrength plate row (upper back focus) 4 x 8-10
DB row 3 x 10-12
Standing cable lateral 3 x 10-12
Neutral shoulder press machine 4 x 10-12
Bent over rear cable fly 4 x 15
DB upright row 3 x 15

I also had one of the staff members tell me I can't have my small drawstring bag on the workout floor. I'm talking about one of those small ones that's like a sack, I had my phone, wraps and log in it. I didn't like that because at minimum having that stops me from losing shit.

So I've got some bad news. On my way to leg day on Wednesday evening I got into a car accident. It was freezing rain. I hit an icy spot and crashed my truck into a concrete barrier. I ended up rupturing my patellar tendon and just had surgery to have it reattach on Friday. Do the plan is to start this cruise taking a couple weeks off of legs but still doing as much upper body a possible. I'll be running 300 mg test per week as my cruise for 10 weeks. Should be around that time I start lifting legs again . I'm going to progress even with this crappy situation.

Dam bro , that sux balz. Great attitude though, just do what you can. I'm finding that I'm almost never completely healthy, always working around one injury or another. Usually it's some form of tendinitis at the shoulders or elbows. Sometimes it's low back pain, but I find a way to keep progressing in other areas and have to stay light with the problem joint.
It'll come back soon enough, and you'll be hitting it hard soon enough. Did your truck survive or did the ins co ' total ' it
 
Sorry to hear that Marvel but yeah you got a great attitude i like that. Primo i hear ya man i am always working around some sort of pain or minor injury same shit shoulder or back, doesn't slow me down one bit
 
Still currently healing. My tendon surgery went well. My knee is still immobilized for the next couple weeks. The pain is still there but I'm in the process of weaning myself off. My current plan is still on except I may extend my cruise by a couple weeks. I currently using 300 mg Test E at 100 mg per injection 3 times a week. I plan to try to workout 2-3 times next week. That will consist of purely upper body. I'll find whichever machines I can still get good leverage and stability in without my legs and stick with those. That could mean only using 2-3 machines until I'm out of my brace but I'll still push for overload on those. Lastly tomorrow I plan on ordering Tb500 which is a healing peptide. The protocol I have is for tb and bpc but bpc is a localized injection so the effects only work in the area where you injected. Tb is more systematic, so until I get my bandages off and fill comfortable injecting near the tendon tb50 will have to do. Realistically if it even just gets me to 100% 2-3 weeks sooner I'll be happy.

They totalled it, hauled it off today. So once I can start driving again I need to shop for a new vehicle. Making this sponsorship an even bigger blessing because that will be a new bill.

damn, glad your ok, hope you get better soon.
 
Still currently healing. The healing peptides I was planning on using are out of stock. My knee is still immobilized I'm hoping I can get some time out of the knee immobilizer after my post op appointment. The pain is still there but I'm completely off pain killers. My current plan is still on except I may extend my cruise by a couple weeks. I currently using 300 mg Test E at 100 mg per injection 3 times a week sub q. I made it to the gym last night. I can't drive I'm at the mercy of others to make it there. Whenever my fiancée feels like she wants to go I'll tag along. Last night's workout:
Single lat pull down machine 4 × 15 40 60 80 100
Flat row machine 4 x 15 60 80 100 105
Single underhand machine pull down 4 x 20 40 60 70 70 drop set

Thank you for the well wishes.
 
They say no news is good news. Guess that could be used here. Haven't worked out this week yet, went to look at some vehicles this weekend. The hardest part of this injury is the loss of independence. Before I could just go and work out whenever I wanted, now if my fiancée has to do work from I'm there to. Can't even go grocery shopping. Healing peptides are still out of stock except for some smaller amounts of the tb500. So I'm going to grab some this weekend to start doing something until larger quantities are available. I've severely cut back on my food intake since my output is lower. My conditioning is holding but I know I need to start stimulating the muscle soon to I'll regress. It's all a work in progress and very frustrating. Still on my cruise of 300 mg Test E weekly.

thanks for the update and glad your feeling better.
 
Another couple of days down and closer to being healed. I ordered some tb500 only to be emailed a couple days later saying it was on back order. I'm really not catching any luck with this knee. Still not getting to the gym regularly but that's the way it currently. Once I can drive again it's on. Even though legs will be a no go I will be killing my upper body. I know some movements will still be on hold like deadlifts but I'll find my way around it to progress. Did some house cleaning yesterday which worked up a good sweat. I'm not to worried about strength levels but I know it'll take a little bit to get my lungs back once I can get in the gym regularly. Hopefully we can carve out some time this week in my fiancée work schedule to make it to the gym.
 
I was able to get in the gym Monday night and get a good session in. I felt it in my chest and back the last couple days. I'll attach the workout below. Still waiting on my peptides, getting a bit frustrated. I keep getting promo codes from the company about the products I ordered but still don't have my original order. We are planning on going to the gym tonight as well. I have my first physical therapy session in about a week, definitely looking forward to that.

This weekend I was able to go to the gym I was on my way to when I had my accident. This is more of a competitor type gym so it was nice to be back in that atmosphere. I'll place my workout below. I have my first physical therapy session this week as well. I've also started to get back on a meal plan but with less carbs since my output is still pretty low. I'm definitely looking ahead to when I can drive and train whenever I want to. If I have time this week I plan on laying out my plan for the next couple of months till I do leg workouts. I'm currently still running PSL test E at 300 mg a week. I do subcutaneous injections of 100 mg 3 times a week. I've also added in 500 iu of PSL hcg weekly. This is only refill the testicles from the atrophy of doing synthetic Testosterone. I'm not trying to restart my normal test because that won't happen as long as you are still using synthetic test. However there's a theory that using hcg during cruises a couple times of year can help if you ever plan on going off or are looking to up your chances of male children while on cycle.

Been a busy week. I wasn't able to make it to the gym but was still able to progress in my recovery. I finally got my tb500 I'm currently using 4 mg a week split up into 2 doses. I went to my first physical therapy session. It was really simple and first step sort of things. They measured my current range of motion on the injured side along with my range of motion on the other side. No need to push for a range with the injured knee I can't get with the other. I have 45 degrees in my injured side and 113 in the other. My main steps are a couple of exercises I done every day multiple times which are assisted knee flexion and some quad holds. Nothing earth shattering but if I can get to 90 degrees I'll be close to driving soon. Lastly it was a busy week because it was also my birthday so we went out a little more and a few more cocktails then usual and enjoyed life. This isn't something I normally do when training for bodybuilding because of what you need from your body. However this also helped me feel more normal due to the injury.

Still hectic times with work, doctors appointments and life. We did make it to the gym this weekend. My chest is still sore from Saturday. I doubled my range of motion last week I found out from physical therapy. This week I have my last appointment with my surgeon and he could possibly clear me to stop wearing the immobilizer and start driving. All these will help me get back to normal as well as settle some chaos in my current situation. Everything else is proceeding as best as possible.
