lol. I know, I get confused at times too.

brief synopsis:

Started training a few years ago. Tore my rotator cuff about 2 or so years ago (didn't have the knowledge I needed). Took a long time to get back to even decent strength, and by then it was like I was starting all over again. Was doing well, started bulking (in a very sloppy manner) and got fat. My goal for the last few months has been to lose the little gut I got from my bulk and then start bulking properly. While I am definitely not a BBer, I still do not like walking around with a little gut and want to get rid of it before bulking hardcore.

Right now I am doing this core performance training for a month or so cause I pulled a muscle in my lower back from trying the Bigger Faster Stronger program. As soon as the back gets better my goal os to bulk and get stronger - very simple. I am extremely interested in trying to compete in a strongman amateur contest, but I need to get a hell of a lot stronger before I do that. I am going to make a new journal for my modified WSB program.

Regeneration. Just did the AIS section, as I won't have a foam roller until tomorrow. Sore from yesterday, especially in the glutes. Wks 2 & 3 of Phase 1 comin up.

Wk 2, Phase 2 Monday

Mvmnt Prep, Prehab, Regeneration

The back feels a little better, but the legs are still acting up. It is the weirdest thing - I get a tingling/pins and needles sensation down the back of my hams and calves. It's very weird and at times extremely uncomfortable. It worries me that the docs have no idea what it is too. I can only hope it goes away as the back gets better

Wk 2, Phase 2, Tues

Physioball, regeneration, strength

only did a little of the strength today. went to the PT and she said it sounds like I a may have some disc issues (herniated or bulging). I am going to talk to my doc tomorrow and get a reco on a good ortho and see about an MRI. if this keeps me out of the game for longer I am going to fucking lose it. maybe my body is telling me that this isn't for me....

tough to say what it felt like. it wasn't like I hurt it then immediately winced in pain. It felt just really uncomfortable in my right shoulder after one of my shldr workouts. nothing too painful. I rested a little and it didn't go away. ended up going to 2 docs - one told me to stay out of the gym (BIG mistake - ever hear of frozen shoulder?) and the other actually helped me a little. The bench has come back very slowly. just had to do a ton of rehab and take it very easy.

Friday (performed on Sat)

Phase 2, week 2

Mvmnt prep, Strength, Prehab Core

Also threw in some Hyper Exten, hamym curls, bb curls and CG bench. very very weak. back still pretty tight. most of the pain/discomfort is now in my lower left side and the tingling/weird feelings in the hammies and calves is mostly in the left leg now. going to an ortho May 10th. afraid it may be disc issues. beyond bummed right now.
