Approved Log First Blast Cycle Log

Hello EF family.

I have been seeing professiuonals for issues with my left shoulder and have discovered there are significant mobility issues with my left scapula, possibly related to mid/low trap issues.

My timeline for my first blast will be pushed back while I get these sorted. Hopefully it's something minor and nothing major nerve related.

Thanks for the support and I will see you all soon

have you tried doing acupuncture, deep tissue and chiro for it bro?

AC joint is alright, slightly wider than the other shoulder. I did some research and realized I was unable to retract or depress my left scapula so went to physio and asked him to look at my lower/mid traps which they did some needling and massage and I can actually move it again.

I did some light unilateral back exercises today and It feels like I'm using the correct muscles for the first time. Plan will be to slowly build on the light work till I am at capacity for some heavier work. I am looking forward to having full capacity in the left scapula so when I bench I can get a proper movement pattern going.



@Corepharma Test E. TRT is 125mg/week.
DISCLAIMER: This isn't trough its 30ish hours post 62.5 injection. E2 at 157 pmol/L

estrogen almost norma
this is today?

 

[AusCreatine]

The estrogen was same time as the testosterone results. I have 1 more week of HCG then will drop it and get extensive blood panel in 2 weeks to see where everything is at in preparation to blast once my injuries are no longer affecting me as they are.

Had an ultrasound on my knee which revealed a bakers cyst and possibly ligament tear. It's been an on/off issue for years which i'm finally getting on top of everything. I will have to see what the doc says next week, hopefully an easy fix.

good split bro
how about volume? and how about food? @AusCreatine

 

[AusCreatine]

Volume has been moderate with light loads.

12 week pregnancy scan has come back all good and we are out of the first trimester. Hard to believe I was infertile 7 months ago and here we are now with a successful pregnancy all thanks to @Corepharma. The blokes amazing.

I had an ultrasound on the knee and they suspect a meniscal tear with a couple cysts. Booked in for an MRI to confirm and will go from there. Training wise I can still do upper body. Worst case it will require surgery but will cross that bridge when it comes.
