Chest/arms day~

One of my better upper body pumps ✌🏻

Tb to 150lb each hand

It is you against yourself. Push yourself today .

I dunno why I was feeling tired today because not only did I fail at 40kg, but the same workout I felt good last time, felt tiring today 😞

I gotta start being careful taking the slack from the bar so my brachioradialis is safe.

Finally my right is back. Maybe next time I'll hit 4 reps a set. My left is painful but recovery is a long process.

I'm happy my right wrist is getting stronger 💪 just my thumb starts getting in the way because it's only been over a month since surgery. I'm extremely careful with my left wrist because last time I strength tested was not even 3 months since the injury and I might have exacerbated the injury.

Hopefully the orthopaedic doctor can do something when I see him for my thumb.

I'm so surprised I could even load my calf muscle let alone work all the way up to -200kg below PR🏆 and -100kg below volume weight😱

My left shoulder suddenly gave out on the last set so I decided to practice the barbell version with lightweight to get used to the stabilisation. My flexor carpi radialis tear was too painful and scary when going to 80kg. I decided to play it safe.

Back workout

New weights!

My new weights came.

My wrist extensors are getting stronger 💪! I need to be careful because my wrist extensors are still quite weak and have tendon synovitis. Lucky I enrolled in a clinical trial for the participation of the medial nerve in the pain.

1000 Pound Club

I finally made it into the 1000 Pound Club with a squat PR of 300 pounds! Squat: 300 Bench: 250 Deadlift: 455 Total: 1005

I'm grateful that my injured left doesn't affect exercises where i need to brace like today. I'm also surprised today felt so easy because I've been feeling DOMS-like sensation for 15d...

I burnt some energy first with weight, then tried the very exercise again that lacerated my thumb 😱 this time I'm smart enough to use a light weight to practice the neuromuscular balance component.

No wonder I lacerated my thumb in June, my partially torn left flexor carpi radialis from April is still weak and painful.

Just gonna show my 400ib deadlift pr

I have failed a lot of times trying to achieve this. It’s ok to fail.

Bodyguard

I really should have attempted 75kg isotonic instead of eccentric because my right leg felt strong after training eccentrics at 75kg twice already. The DOMS was so bad those times but now I don't even feel it. Unluckily my left calf injury really bothered me beyond 90 degrees...

I mean he tried

Best🤩

My friends 🫡🤭🤩

14th Apr left wrist flexor partially torn. 24th Apr started chest and shoulder rehab. 14th Jun right thumb laceration. 28th Jun left wrist tear worsening. 30th Jul orthopaedic follow-up.

Maybe I should continue rehabbing on the chest press but add weight rather than change to barbell bench press since both my wrist and thumb aren't ready...

Maybe it's time to challenge 40kg since 4 reps take 30s because of holding the concentric contraction?

Triceps feeling good today. Performance could be better but my right elbow still has some soreness. My left was feeling good but I had to use more time to get used to and control the weight, so ran out of energy at 8 reps.

Starting the week strong with leg day

2 hours on legs to start Monday off right.

I really want to transition to barbell shoulder press; but my left wrist that jeopardised my right thumb laceration is still injured 🥲

Failed 15kg attempt, but at least my left is slowly catching up to my right.

FITNESS AND MODEL

My lower back is always exhausted from RDLs so I thought I need to start training core and abs.

Slowly but surely

Week seven after a two year hiatus, worked through soreness, quit vaping and binge drinking, and I’m feeling strong again. Hoping to stay consistent this time.

Trust the process

Have the courage to be happy whether getting healthy or talking to that person or trying out something new . Just have courage it will work out at the end

I should be grateful that I can squat with a torn calf muscle instead of being disappointed failing a 127.5kg PR attempt.

Maybe I need to start lightweight interval training because I don't seem to have much mitochondria...

I’d eat all the tacos 🌮
