Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
It's been great catching up on your journal. I hope things continue to go well!

Thanks Nelms, and welcome back.
On a side note, I have another injury for everyone
. I have a recurring pain in my left wrist, especially when I bend my hand back to bench press. I looked closely at it and noticed a lump in the soft tissue at the top of the wrist when I do that, and I don't have a full range of motion. I keep doing bench and incline pressing, even though I think it's making it worse. If I give up the pressing, all I'll be left with is rows, pull-ups and my physio arse twitching movements. I'm hoping it'll be ok until I can start squatting, then I can give up the pressing for a while.

Duh! Talk about stitching myself up!

I don't bend them back a lot, just enough to get the bar sitting over the bones of the forearm. If I bent them back any less, the bar would be sitting on my thumbs. I have some wrist wraps, so I'll use one of those tomorrow.

HST Week 4, Saturday: 8's
No workout today. My wrist's bust. I've been silently ignoring it over the past few weeks, but it's at the stage now where I really shouldn't be pressing on it. It's pretty inflamed and hurts just doing normal day-to-day things.
I'm not too concerned. I think I'll be squatting soon anyway.

Overuse injury, maybe? Take some time off, man.

I had to rescue this thread from page 2 
It's taken 7 days, but the swelling and pain in my left wrist has now gone. There's a tiny bit of swelling left, but it'll probably be gone in the morning. I'm going to give it until Monday anyway.
I've just had my second physio visit. She found a lot of tension in my right glute and said it was probably causing the remaining pain in my right hamstring. She said it was probably pushing on the nerve as it passes through the pelvis into the leg. It took a bit of acupuncture and an ass massage to release - my ass has never had so much attention!
She said my hamstring issue is pretty much fixed and I agree. About 90% of the pain I had just 2 weeks ago has gone already. She gave me more core work to do, and recommended to wait until I've had a week free of any pain before going back to any exercises that use the core (squat, dead, OHP, etc).
One of the new exercises is simply single-leg squats, as a glute exercise. I should focus on shifting my weight as little as possible, so my hips move as little as possible when I raise my leg, using the opposite glute to keep me upright. Squat down for 10 secs, then back up. The exercises she's given me basically get me used to using core muscles that I'm obviously not used to using, so when I start proper training again, I'll know how to recruit them.
I reckon I'll be squatting in a couple of weeks time. In the mean time, I need to go an stand on one leg for a while...
