Eddie and Paul (my leg training partners) decided to check each others legs out for improvements... both are coming along nicely.... anyways even tho i knew my legs are struggling at the moment... im not one to shy away... so i dropped my gym pants too.... and was met with "and theyre meant to be lagging behind???" lol... i was pleased all the size and shape is still there... especially considering im off the gear now too. with my hamstrings coming along just as i had planned!!!  they are still lacking on the inner thigh... but with my injury ive not been able to focus on this enough to bring it up though! however after a brainstorming session with eddie and his 30 odd years of training experience we have come up with a secret weapon............. so fingers crossed i may be able to bring them up yet!am booked in to see the physio tommorow lunch time! so lets see what they say! yesterday i awoke to the smell of bacon sandwiches.. i also had zero motivation to train or do anything other than lie on the sofa all day... surprisingly tho i trained hard and had my best day of clean diet for about a week... topped off nicely with a chicken tikka massala and naan bread for supper!! mmm today i seem to be right up for this bodybuilding malarky again.... so all things going to plan... i finish my pct next week... so hopefully before then ill get a photo took for comparison purposes!! bodyweight is about 2-3lbs down at the very most! ______________________ If your not a part of the greatest... you got to be the greatest yourself!

I went to Palm Springs for a few days to rest and went to a gym out there. I have been feeling stiff lately so Id thought id stretch out some. A trainer came over and we chatted for a bit and I explained that my knees hurt. He checked my form out and said it was a knee alignment problem and tracking specifically. He asked me if I sit alot and I answered yes. He said it might be my I.T. Band that needs stretching. So, he took this round hard foam and I layed on it with my outter quad. That hurt like hell and he said I was far too tight. Seems that sitting all day made that shorter and tossed off the tracking on my knee. I kept trying to pulverise that area and it got less tender and almost immediatly my knee felt better, lower back too. He told me that if I used that IT band roller within 3 weeks I would have almost no knee pain. He said I would get more range in squats too. heres the thread if youre interested- its a similar technique as trigger point. :idea:  http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/advanced-...ing-today.html ______________________ einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know. www.englishmuscle.co.uk www.extremenutrition.co.uk  |
