FINE! I'll do a log!!

[uphillclimb]

Thanks guys. Heel sucks but working on areas that need improvement most. If it weren't for injuries, I'd have nothing to complain about!

Did some quick benching in a pinch last night.

No wraps, no spotter and with shorts and sandals on down in my new basement gym.

135 x 5 x 3
165 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 2
225 x 3 x 3 @8 (for the 3rd time back, this isn't bad for me)

CGBP
135 x 15 x 4

Band triceps...ten bagillion

Some BW dips.

30 mins total workout after putting the kids to sleep and still enough time to catch up on GOT.

Exactly how many is a bagillion, lol... Keep it up. The numbers will be there before you know it....

I like this... stay moderate on your comp lifts. But do push the assistance work. So for close grip go heavy. 5 reps 7 reps etc...

My foot hates me.

Squat:
135 x 8 x 2
225 x 5 x 2 shooting pain from my heel up to the outside of my knee on second set...so I stopped.

Bench again for now.

135 x 10 x 3
165 x 5 x 2
185 x 8 x 5
185 AMRAP I think I got 16

Super Close grip 185 x 3 x 3. Trembling.

BW dips again. Blah blah.

Hanging ab raises, 10 mins on bike.

More volume than I've done in a long time.

 

[uphillclimb]

Went back downstairs and did more tricep work and pull-ups.

Looked in the mirror and said get your ass back down there! lol.

What shoes do you squat in?

I tried both chucks and adipowers, it's the same spot that I injured but this time shot up my leg like a hot lightning bolt.

Maybe this will help, maybe it wont: I have tight tendons on the outside of my thighs, that cause a burning sensation and occasional shooting pains. For years I thought I was having sciatica or other problems, then my chiropractor diagnosed it and gave me stretches. The stretches helped, but the pain went away when my coach had me start foam rolling my quads and outer legs. He said not to roller the joints (hip or knee), just the muscle between the joints. Now I go weeks without rollering and experience no pain.

I am guessing someone has suggested this or you probably already tried this, but the occlusion bands that PoB had me buy helped when I had a very similar pain. I rolled my ankle bad one night(drinking was involved) and it made squatting a bitch for two weeks. I wrapped the occlusion band around the bottom of my leg from just above the ankle to about midway up the shin and it seemed to help a lot.

Thanks bro. I have a shitty case of edema and torn plantar fascia that has not healed properly. I had a walking boot for a while but may need surgery at this point, unfortunately.

And I've had a few of "those nights" lol. Hope all is well with you lately.

Yesterday:

Went back to the squat but did a bunch of pauses and volume at lighter weight. Heel felt better once I taped it up...placebo, maybe.

Squat:

135 x 10 x 3 ----2-3 sec pauses
185 x 5 x 5 ---3-5 sec pauses

upright rows 95 x 10 x 4
chicken wing raises 30x10x4
front raises 20x15x 3
static curls worked up to 40lbs for 10 sec holds
shrugs up to 275 x 15

military press 135 x 3 x 10 with 20-30 sec breaks.

Heel felt better, still not confident that I can go beyond two plates without pain.
