Hi, my name is Ori, and this is my log journaling my progress battling a range of medical issues that ground my life to a halt.
Is a long story, but short version is I am dealing with the following,
-Old knee injury, right knee. Chipped my knee cap when I was a teenager, chip is inside my patella tendon. Never got the surgery I was meant to get when I stopped growing.
-Left hip injury. I can’t remember what the diagnosis from the sports physio was anymore, I just remember how I injured it.
-Bowel is thickened with scar tissue after nearly dying from Clostridium Dificile, twice. I have been referred to a surgeon to have my bowel shortened.
-Transverse colon is wrecked from a drug called Meloxicam, it had me bleeding out both ends, looked like a horror movie. I have a pseudo obstruction now and rely on a low fibre/mostly liquid diet.
-Blood loss from my bowel, like a lot of blood, I need periodic iron infusions because of it. I have also been referred to a surgeon for this, I don’t know yet if is a fissure or some exploded blood vessels will find out from the surgeon I guess.
-Herniated disc in my lower back, can’t remember which disc.
-PTSD from stuff that occurred while all this was happening
-a massive legal battle over much of the above
Earlier this year I hit a really low point. I lost a lot of basic mobility, from being too sedentary for too long. I couldn’t even drive my car properly because couldn’t push the clutch in. Couldn’t stand up straight and walk normally when I would get out of the car after driving somewhere even 20 mins away. That’s where this log really started.
I made a plan that I’m still currently following. That was to work on my core until I could work on my knee, then once those had been strengthened enough I’d start lifting weights. This has basically worked, I’ve gone from not being able to walk down stairs properly to doing pistol squats again. Took some PEDs to help me get out of the hole I was in, all peptides.
If you’d like more detail on the log up till this point, I suggest having a look at my log over at Evolutionary.org, you can see a lot of what’s gotten me to this point there. This log here will focus on the journey forward. Would be too hard to start it with all the data that’s been gathered up til now. Both logs will be updated daily, just the Evo one has a little more past data.

Stats :
-Age = 39
-Height = 167.5cm
-Weight = 89kgs
-BF% = around 20-25% I think
My current program is,
Mon & Thursday = Full body overcoming isometric session in the morning, consisting of :
-Isometric Overhead Press
-Isometric Bench Press
-Isometric Bicep Curl
-Isometric Trap Bar Deadlift
-Isometric Barbell Squat
Each exercise has three positions, five sets per exercise, 12 seconds max effort contraction with 30 seconds maximum rest between sets.
Then on the afternoon of those days I lift weights, that session mirrors the isometric one and consists of :
-Overhead Press (Olympic Barbell)
-Bench Press (Done as pin press)
-Pull-ups (Assistance band)
-Trap Bar Deadlift
-Safety Bar Squat
70% of 1RM, 8-15 reps, five sets per exercise, 4mins rest between sets.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday = These days I work on my knee, core and accessory lifts like delt raises for side delts. I also tend to do fasted cardio these days.
Sunday = Rest, although fasted cardio generally happens that day a bit.
Currently I’m on a small caloric deficit to slowly drop some fat %. Attached are some photos of todays exercise log and diet log. I’m looking forward to getting to know the members here and updating this log daily
Also before I forget, I’m currently between PED cycles, and am only on a low dose of Stenabolic right now (10 mg per day, split into two doses) in terms of PEDs. However I’ll soon start to run a cycle of Ibutamoren + Cardarine + Stenabolic, will likely go for 8-12 weeks.

Approved Log - Ori health war log - recovery WAR!
Introduction to log. Have been here a couple weeks now, and having a great time with the forum community. Recently was encouraged by Npcclassicphysique Champ to post a log of my journey trying to recover from a variety of injuries and health issues. This is going to be on the larger side for...
