True! So a bit of a rough trot!Maxrip13 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 4:09 amI popped a rib at training the next day, so back to square one injury wise. It seems a good time for a base build I guess so I will deal with it.Adski wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 11:38 amAwesome to see the pull ups are coming back for you!Maxrip13 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 12, 2022 3:39 am 12/08/2022

I have had a pretty rough week work wise and have had to prioritise getting to BJJ over strength training.
I did some basic testing today, knowing I was going to test poorly due to fatigue and flare up of my injury.
The benchpress was disappointing, I appear to be stuck at this number for my benchpress due to nerve patterning issues. My physio has recommended I add some exercise variety in, to get things firing properly and relearn pre injury patterns.
My back squat was nice and easy but I cut it there to get BJJ in this evening and hopefully tomorrow.
My pullup numbers were a good improvement and puts me back around 50% of my pre injury general number.
I did some dips in and initially failed at a single, I gave myself a short break and managed a triple pretty easily.
I will take the weekend to work out where to progress from here. Most likely I will do Fighter or Operator and sub out benchpress at least one day for dips. Other option is a basebuild as I want to get back to running again.
2022 has been the year of injuries for me. I have my second kid due, so will probably just get some easy work in for the rest of the year and reset for a big 2023. Extended Base build into Green, go on. I was keen to get some running in, so no big deal. I will be able to up my mileage as I will only be drilling in BJJ for the next 6-12 weeks. It could be worse as it may allow my neck to sort the last bit out finally.
Well bb could be a nice change especially with the little one due. Hopefully the neck heals over the next little while!
