rehab only day:

today was just a doc appointment and a day off for me. that was 8 straight days of training so i am pretty sure i needed a little bit of a rest haha. the doc tried some new stuff on me the day before and yesterday. so she worked on some different areas and hooked up internal e stims on the outside of my knee and then on both sides of my knee. that along with the scrapping and dry needling. i actually left feeling pretty good. so we may have figured out what areas to work to get me 100%. got a heavy squat and press day coming up so that will be the best indicator. the tissues yesterday were much smoother and easier for her to work on. so a lot of the binding and scar tissue has been broken up. yes it is still pretty painful but nowhere near as bad as it was the first few weeks of doing it. the area that was super irritated and super tender to touch isnt very sore at all anymore either. i hope we have this pig greased up cause getting abused in the torture room is getting old. being bruised up isnt to fun either haha. back also feels really good today as well as the hips.

done for the day. nasty silly session today. able to push a little more weight than usual with gusto here to hand off db with. going to be a sore couple of days most likely. calves are beat up pretty good and legs are a tad bit sore. knee is a little tender again today but way better than the past few weeks. been slacking on the prehab and rehab stuff to keep the gym time reasonable also and to let my hips recover. we blew through today's workout pretty freaking fast also considering we went so heavy.

TweetLooks like a great day in the gym and it's always more challenging when you have a new partner. You both work harder when you're together, LOL
LOVE ~Trixie~

TweetSolid workout brother. Picking up some good meals from you too.

Tweetyesterday:

well yesterday was a completely wasted day and i screwed gusto out of a workout entirely. my programing for the week didnt come in to me until he had all ready left and made it home. so it was an unplanned day off. i suppose it was a good thing because my hams glutes and hips are freaking nasty sore and worn out from saturday's training session. gusto and i at least killed it sat and sun big time. just wait till he unveils the completed package. at 6 wks out he is well ahead of sched, muscle bellies are nice round full and detailed. the funny thing is you can see them through his clothing including the seperation haha. his calves are also pretty nasty also and he may have better detail in his hamms than i do.
as for me other than being sore, everything actually feels pretty good. knee is still a little sore but i am accepting it but dreading having it beating up tomorrow. this weeks programing looks extra extra nasty. got legs back and chest and shoulders all twice.

done for the day. got a really good back session in today. i went pretty heavy and got a really good pump going early on. no lower back issues at all really other than a little sore, even the hypers didnt irritate it to bad. had my therapy today also. it is healing up really well according to the doc. i made my clomplaints about when and where it is tightening up still and then she went to work on beating my leg up haha. she worked my entire ham and inner thigh today as well as the usual stuff. i have a ton of scar tissue and adheasons in my hammie so that was super painful. you can actually hear it popping as she runs the tool across the area. that hurt pretty good.

sad thing is she is a little 90lb tiny thing. i dread going in there every single time. those tools freaking hurt haha, not a big fan of the needles to much either

TweetSeriously?

I've got to see the day when any human has as crazy freaky hams as guns. I'll be reporting back with first HAND experience on this one in 6 weeks. gusto must really be killing it for this report. Apparently 2 heads are better than one, great coach + great student = success.

done for the day. for a secondary day this was an absolute brutal day. so brutal that i was pouring sweat out of my hoodie and leaving puddles on the floor everywhere i stood still haha. the pump in my quads was so bad from the leg press that i had to take a few minutes before starting up the lunges. i could have went way heavier on the lunges but my forearms were cramping a bit and even wrapped i had issues holding weight. knee got a little irritated early on but once good and warm no issues at all. it is bruised all to hell though and quite tender to touch. i will be trying out a little interval cardio tomorrow as per my therapist to see if it gets the area fired up and tight again. going to be another nasty workout again tomorrow also
