Aidan's Training Log (just weak strongman) - Page 163

We talked about my surgeries and other issues/injuries in the past. I said I'd had an achilles rupture and she guessed which leg based on the size difference. I said it still wasnt as strong as the other one bu strong enough to get me through what I do. It reminded me to add in some more calf work.

GHRs work the calves hard, as well as your hammies & glutes, if you have access to a machine.

My bad, the true reference is to Mikes brother then... The quote from the movie somewhere, maybe...

Damn, my hip/back/quad thing is not getting better. Sitting in certain chairs it gets really painful in my quad/knee after 45 mins. I was having a coffee with a friend this morning and I was squirming in my chair after an hour with discomfort, similar story in a meeting earlier in the week.

How bunk is triggerpoints.net? Cause it looks like a bit of this:

rectus femoris

With some of this:

vastus medialis

You can't link to those. They've got a wrapper that prevents you from linking or even sharing the image. You can probably see them, because it wraps the URL with a 'token' that is for you.

Interesting.

Link to the URL/page you found them.

Sorry to hear you're in pain. At least you smashed the comp/PRs before it got worse... Hope you figure it out.

Thanks! It's not worse than what I managed through the last 3-4 weeks of comp prep. Frustrating to see no improvement with rest though. Gave it a decent working with a baseball today will see how it goes, but back to light work this week regardless

You will probably know by tomorrow if SMR works. The pain will either subside or feel worse. FWIW, ice and heat have helped knee pain for me in the past. It feels magnitudes better by the next day. Hope you get better soon.

Pretty sure as an American I'm supposed to tell you to take opiods for it or at least fill a prescription to sell.

Rolled out my hip and did some band stretches, but didnt feel up to squatting. Got through the rest of the stuff and some face pulls. Will keep up with the rehab and chuck in extra upper work and see how it goes, work back to some ham curls and belt squats and go from there.

In about three months you will be a whole lot more busy and a whole lot less motivated.

Dadbod coming soon.

S&F anxiously waits and gives this first ballot hall of famer three months to comeback, or he will be discolored green and forgotten into the ashes of the backsquat graveyard.
