My hamstrings and low back are weak and I for one wont stand for it
Hence why I am not pushing the weight super high off the bat. Try it sometime, it's...something else.

Puds 56# pud x40 total reps, 20 each arm, various styles last throw I popped something behind my right knee, the opposite knee from this summer's poppin'. Pissed. Feels exactly the same as the left leg. Hopefully, it just means it's my popliteus again, which should heal faster than over the summer since I wont be throwing the whole time. Definitely means I'll need to take some time off of heavy squats and shit. Dammit.

See, Luke! Puds are dangerous. How many people need to get minor injuries before you realize this?!

I don't blame the puds, they are an innocent bystanders here. I blame my horrid body mechanics that has led to 2 weird muscle strains in less than 6 months.
12/16/19 Woke up and my right leg/behind the knee was more stiff than a Crowley at a Katie convention. I can walk on it straight legged, but once I try to unlock it and walk, it get's angry. I took some Aleve and used my voodoo floss to get it moving and that helped enough for me to walk more betterer, but it's still pretty hurty. This time around, it feels like it's affecting my ankle too. Not pain wise, but in how it works. Pointing my toes down is pain city. So who knows, I googled a load of stuff and I may have strained my Plantaris instead of the popliteus? Or I did both. Who knows. Wednesday I'll ask my Doc for a referral for an ortho. But instead of moping and feeling bad, I got some work in on my upper body. Warm Up Bench Press w/ 5 second eccentric 135x8, 135x5, 185x3, *add eccentric 205x3, 225x3, 235x3, 245x3, 255x3, 265x3, 275x3, 285x3, 295x3 pumped because I was barely using leg drive with my right leg. Close Grip Bench 225x9, 225x8, 225x8 Single Arm Incline DB Press / Banded Single Arm seated row 4x12 each arm @ 50# / 4x10 each arm Banded Tricep Push Downs / Face Pulls / Planks 3x30 / 3x20 / 2x1 minute Done. Going to keep taking it easy on my leg but also make sure to keep 'er movin.

The best/worst part about you injuring yourself was that stiffness joke. Well played. Also, I'd like to see more bench... like every day.

I agree with Luke. That comment made me laugh out loud at lunch today. Nearly choked on my food as well. People stared, it was awkward. Best thing I've read in a long time.

Knee is getting better for sure. Still hurts to walk down stairs or down hill, but upstairs/uphill is fine. Can do a parallel squat. Decided to do some back work today and added in a bit of blood flow work for the knee. Warm Up Wide Grip Pull Ups / Banded Hamstring curl 6x5 felt easy / 3x12 each leg. Really focused on contracting my hamstring and not my upper calf. Felt ok. A little painful but once the blood got in there it felt better. Seal Rows / TKEs / Russian Twists with 45# plate 135x10, 135x10, 185x8, 185x8, 215x5, 235x5, 235x5, 235x5, 235x5 / 3x20 no pain on these / 3x40 reps Wide Grip Banded Pull Downs / Banded Pull A parts / BB Shrugs 3x15 / 3x20 / 3x20 @ 185 Felt good to do some work. Knee feels ok. I'm sure it'll continue to get better but I'm still going to get a referral tomorrow to see an ortho or PT or something because there's no reason this should happen to both legs in less than 6 months.

Hope all goes will this your appointment. Most people would say stay positive, but I've found moping and being angsty to be beneficial. Give it a shot.

I have the worst injury depression/anxiety
All I do is think about how this is the end and I'll never recover. Really useful! |

Sadly couldn't train yesterday, so I got a quickie in after work. My knee/calf/hamstring is doing a lot better. There is still pain and I cannot pin-point it. It hurts the most when my knee is flexed a little bit, and then I am putting my weight on my heel and going backwards a bit. If I try to go up on my toes doing that, it's terrible pain in my upper calf/back of the knee area. So odd and I cant google that so I am left to actually consult an expert lol Warm Up Hang High Pulls (very little going up on toes) / DB Seated OHP / Front Raises with 25# plate / BW Box squats 135x10, 135x10, 185x10, 185x10 / 30sx30, 40sx20, 40sx20, 40sx20 / 4x10 @ 25# plate / 3x12 to a parallel bench. Knee felt fine. Seated Curl Bar OHP / DB Side Raises / DB Rear Delt Flys / BB Front Shrugs / BB Behind the Back shrugs 70x15, 90x15, 90x15, 90x15 / 4x15 @ 15s / 4x15 @ 15s / 4x12 @ 225 / 4x12 @ 225 pumped to the gills

Going to the Patriots game later but I wanted to test out my leg. Didn't do anything silly, but the pains are just interesting. Mostly in the upper calf, but sometimes in the hamstring too. Cant find a super tender spot when poking. Very odd. Warm Up Box Squats to a 20" box, not sitting back, just touch and go. 135x10, 135x10, 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 225x5 when squatting, no pain. When unracking and slightly on toes, some pain. Wtf RDLs / Ab wheel 225x8, 255x8, 275x8, 295x8 / 4x10 no pain at all Roman Chair BB Rows / Seated Banded Single Arm Rows 3x12 @ 135 these were hard / 3x15 each arm And done! GO PATS!

Really nailed down where the pain is originating from. It's a high calf strain, different from my left knee incident this summer. I am going to lay off deep squats for a while and likely cleans, or at least cleans getting up on my toes. It sucks, but it could have been much worse. Warm Up Box Squats 20" w/5 second eccentric 135x5, 135x5, 225x3, 225x3, 225x3, 245x3, 265x3, 275x3, 285x3, 295x3, 295x3, 295x3 man I suck at box squats. I don't have spotter arms and I use a bench for a box so if I had to dump it I would break something. Decided that I'll have to swallow my pride and work on these at a lower weight. SSB Split Squats hatfield style / Single Leg RDLs 115x5 each, 135x5 each, 185x5, each, 215x5 each / 4x5 each @ 85 pounds. The SLRDLs are rough on my calf/hammy tie in. Hence the lowered weight. Did some leg raises and calf raises with a bent knee after, but this was all I had time for and my calf was a bit sore after. Feels great now!

Wide Grip Pull Ups / Single Arm Incline DB Bench 5x5, 4 of 5 w/ 30# of chains / 4x10 @ 50# each arm BB Seal Rows / Banded Skull Crushers on incline / Banded Face Pulls 225x6, 235x6, 245x6, 255x6 / 4x25 / 4x20

After a lot more analysis, my injury was to a hamstring tendon. It's super evident now that it has been nearly 2 weeks. I am doing what I can to drive blood into the hammy without contracting it because that irritates the tendon a lot. Voodoo flossing and cross friction massage so I don't build up as much scar tissue. If I strap it up with a knee wrap it feels really good so I'll do that to get through training because I can't just stop training. I will figure it out. Warm Up Hang Clean High Pulls 135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 225x3, 255x3, 275x3, 295x3, 305x3 not terrible, will probably do the same weight next week Trap Bar Z Press / T-Bar Rows 75x5, 75x5, 95x5, 115x5, 125x5, 125x5, 135x5 / 5x10 @ 115# DB Side Raises / DB Rear Delt Flys / BB Shrugs / Standing Banded Ab Crunch 4x12 @ 30s / 4x20 @ 30s / 4x10 @ 275, 315, 365, 405 / 4x20 then some additional shrugs @ 315x15, 225x20, 225x20, 135x20, 135x20 Dead.

Knee/calf/hamstring/lower limb is feeling a lot better. Every day it gets better. After training it's a bit of a bugger, but then feels better later that day. So I am optimistic that in 1-2 more weeks, I'll be mostly pain free. Warm Up Box Squat (19") w/ 5 second eccentric 135x5, 135x5, 225x3, 225x3, *begin eccentrics 225x3, 245x3, 265x3, 285x3, 295x3, 305x3, 315x3, 325x3 felt great, way stronger than last week. 225x5, 225x5, 225x5 all for speeds SSB Hatfield style Split Squats / Banded Hamstring Curl negatives for bad leg 135x5 each, 185x5 each, 215x5 each, 235x5 each, 235x5 each these are feeling stronger/more comfortable / 3x8 each leg these didn't hurt but I figured could be good DB Swings (like a KB) / AB Wheel / TKEs for bad leg 4x10 @ 120# / 4x10 / 3x20 Good training |

Backing off the intensity/volume this week. Feeling ok, but leg is doing better and I want to ramp up the next block. Warm up Box Back Squats (19") 135x8, 135x8, 185x8, 225x8, 245x8, 265x8, 285x8 not bad. While messing around during these, I realized with my chains, I can hang them to make perfect spotter arms which also means I can use them for Anderson squats, Good mornings, etc. Going to be working these in soon. SSB Split Squats 135x8each, 155x8each, 155x8each BB/other Complex Conditioning 5 Hang cleans + 5 front squats + 5 RDLs + 10 DB Swings + 10 Ab Wheel 3 rounds with 45 seconds rest between sets. My conditioning is atrocious.

Today I dicked around with some different stuff, going to be adding in chain suspended good mornings to my routine, now that I know I have something to do them from. Looking forward to this next block and getting this right hamstring stronger. Warm Up Hang Cleans 135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 185x5, 225x5, 225x5, 225x5 Deadlift (not trap bar!) against 100# chains 225x3, 225x3, 315x3, 315x3, 365x1, 385x1, 405x1 405 was kinda hard. Again, that high ham/low glute connection spot freaked out midway up but I powered through. Gotta get it stronger. Happy to have 500 in my hands at the top though...(god im so weak) Chain Suspended GMs / Single leg single arm DB RDLs 4x8 @ 135 / 4x5each @ 45# with 5 second eccentric Hyperextensions (rigged this up via the internet and it worked well!) / Single Leg Bridges 3x12 @ 25# plate in arms / 3x20 each leg (right leg with a slow eccentric) Landmines / Leg Lifts 3x10each side @ 45# plate / 3x12 Donezo |

Had a heat wave come through and sadly I had to work all day during day 1 of it. But I got out today to test out the knee a little and do some throwing. Shit was still pretty wet, snowy, muddy, horrible, etc so I stuck to puds, hammer, and WOB/more puds Warm Up 28# Pud throws x20 total. In the sloppy snow slop. 22# Hammer 30 winds total each side. Knee felt ok doing these. 3 full throws. No measuring because of the slop. Felt good though. 56# WOB x5 each hand, felt really solid 56# PUD Irish Sling style x5 each hand Happy first day back.
