My Training Journal

EM: You might want to consider doing something different considering your injuries and motivation right now. Maybe just do machines and curls and stuff, you know typical gym rat routine. Then when you feel better you can go back full

That sounds boring as fuck!

I'll reply to andalite later I'm just getting ready to go to school right now.
 
I've been injured too. Many times. Too many times actually and here is something I have learnt:

Do not abandon everything and move over to machine training.

In short: disregard T-Block's advice because it will be counter productive to you in the long run. Using machines will basically make you unlearn your free weight movement so when you get back it will be an unneeded uphill climb.

I've dealt with Deadlift injuries. With your form it was inevitable and I had warned you of this earlier but you were adamantly against listening to me.

When you want to listen and if you want to heal then I can help you. So get back to me when you are ready to heal. Sitting on your ass unmotivated OR doing machine work is not going to heal you. It will still make the injury something which can come back in the future. You should use this opportunity to get your technique down right and work at it. Not only technique work but now is when you should be focusing on injury prevention.

Let me know when you want my help. Till then you can keep feeling sorry for yourself or frustrated. When you are ready to get off your ass and actually learn the movement and have it ingrained in your motor pathways, shoot me a pm and I'll help you out - only because you are young so I don't expect you to be wise. But be aware that both SaiBoT and me told you that this could happen. Like any typical 15 ear old you didn't listen to us. I hate to say I told you so but I guess everybody learns things. I learn things from listening to other people's experiences and save myself the trouble of dealing with injuries first hand. You on the other hand....
 
OK GCSE's are basically the exams that we have at the end of school, as in right before you leave school, they are the "real thing" and they go on your CV which is like your record of achievement that you hand in when applying for jobs and stuff. Not sure what else I can say to describe it you american fucks lol

English literature GCSE today and did pretty well. The whole thing was 1 hour 45mins, first question was one big question worth half the total marks and it was on the book "Lord of the Flies" second question was a choice of questions all about differant poems we have studyed throughout the year and it was also one big question worth the other half of the marks. We were advised to spend 45mins on Lord of the Flies and 1 hour on the poetry. Well I finished lord of the flies with about 45mins left so pretty much just did it the wrong way around. Anyway I think I did pretty well, had to cut the poetry question a little short as I was running out of time though. For saying I didnt bother with any revision which some people have been doing for months before the exam I think it turned out pretty well haha. Next one up is my first science exam which is tomorrow.

Andalite I wasnt thinking of doing all machine workouts. I was thinking of working around it and doing some active recovery, first step was just bodyweight hypers twice a week or so, step 2 was going to be 6x3 deadlifts and squats with light weight.

But for legs especially it will have to be alot of seated and machine stuff...

Meh...the idea is good but it can be better.

No. You don't need to do that AT ALL. There are ways to work around it.

this!

what can I do other than lunges for legs then that isnt a machine?

Drag a tire or homemade sled around a field would be my first suggestion

Broomstick squats (with proper form to re-establish proper technique)

Broomstick overhead squats

step ups

lunges

Don't worry about loading. Just do something to keep your conditioning until you're close to 100%.

I could barely squat 185 five weeks ago. I busted ass pulling my sled around three days per week along with squatting three days per week. I hit 365 for 5 yesterday. Things were looking very bleak for me a few months ago too. I was completely inactive and limping in pain. You can get through this and come back stronger.
