At another different gym today and i was surrounded by some sort of body pump class which was a bit weird, also as I was waiting for sombody to finish their swim squad before I left I did a bit extra while I was on a roll from a good squat session.

OHP
5x30 superset with 5 chins
5x40
3x45
3x55

At my new posting the gym here is ok, small but it has a squat rack, bench and a chin-up bar, and that is really all you need.

Deadlift
5x110 (overhand)
5x130
3x140
3x160
3x175
3x190 - (Alt grip)
1x200 - the form breakdown on both of these was both suprising and disgusting

I got confused today as at my new gym the 20kg and 25kg plates look almost the same so I had a set of 25kg on first which put every lift ten kg over where it should hae been

Dead (overhand)

5x10@110

Hanging leg raise

5x10

So good news, I dislocated my knee tonight at rugby training and so I don’t really know how this will affect me until I see the Doc tomorrow morning

Hey kiddo,
Sorry to hear about your knee. I hope all is ok?

Your numbers look pretty good there. My goal is to be lifting similar numbers that you are, so I will be watching carefully on your progress. Here are a few questions;

How often do you train for rugby and what level do you play at?
Do you do any cardio work at all?
Where in Oz are you?
What are “toes to bar”?
Do you do much mobility work?

I play In the Darwin Comp as back row usually but I Did my knee for a country Victoria side because I am down here for Six months.

It looks ok so far and I will just train around it for a few weeks hope fully back to full training soon.

Two rugby trainings a week
Usually two extra cardios either sprint or sled work ,but sometimes a 2-4km run just to mix it up
Toes to bar are leg raises where I get my toes to the bar
I foam roll pre training after either skipping or erg warmup and stretch post

this is exactly the injury that I have, However this is the third time I have done it.

For the next couple of weeks my training is going to revolve around Shoulders/Back/Chest. I will have to see how this knee plays out, It is alot better, I can walt and have almost full range of motion back but it is still very painful. I have most of the pain centered around the medial ligament which is the one that I ruptured last time (other knee), but there is nowhere near the same swelling.

I don’t know if theis is because I have been much better with the RICE or if it indicates a lesser injury. I am hoping to be back to proper training soon because as anybody who reads my last two logs can see I have yet to really focus on what I will use this time for.
