RSR weighted chinups -- W1D2
WCU 6x3x102 (+20kg), 8x81 (PR?)

Notes:
These are really kicking my ass  - especially core! Good. Gives me a good compound exercise while im recovering from my ankle injury.
Notable milestone today i ditched crutches getting out of bed. Been off them all day. Hopefully tomorrow i'll feel better than today and so on and forth from here.

RSR weighted chinups -- W1D1
WCU 6x2x103

Notes:
Using +20kg - really hard. I mean, i'm weak but hopefully my body responds and I can give this an honest shot.

Thanks LBSS. Appreciate the looking out! I woke up today magically with soreness HALVED. Only thing i did differently is the last 2 days didn't do any extra activity just rested and iced and all of that. I'm eyeing weds coming off crutches and hopefully getting started on rehab. Exciting days ahead. Good idea with the banded work. I might try that for my glutes by doing some bridges etc if my ankles allow it (maybe).

how's your ankle? are you able to walk without limping? can you put weight on it when you stand on both feet? how's the ROM? swelling?

I'm on crutches for a while but right now i cud def limp okay. It would be fine til tmr when i'd know i fked up by walking so soon. Made that mistake several times already before learning not to. Just gonna use crutches and give my body a chance to heal up - no need to disrupt the healing process. ROM is kinda funny cause my foot swelled so much that at one point i cudnt even curl my toes. i can do that now that but significant swelling is still present. i can put weight on it just have to make sure to put it on the toes rather towards heels when walking.

in other news, i made it through date 3 today and she wants to see me on monday again. I must be doing something right though my self confidence has plummeted since injury. hopefully i dont mess this up from here.

Weighted chinup 5x83, 5x93, 3x98, 5x93
Pullup 5x83

Notes:
Only compound exercise that isn't contraindicated at the mo. Felt okay. Didn't use caffeine didn't wanna mess around with stimulants right now. It's been 10 days since I lifted. Feeling myself getting soft and weak. Hopefully htis will stem the tide somewhat. I have given myself the lofty goal of doing a weighted chinup at 140kg in 12 weeks time. Will program it using RSR and a training weight of around 90-100kg - haven't decided exactly which. If monday comes and i can handle having a 20kg plate hanging off my waist without much trouble - then that's what it will be.

agree on staying clear of PTs for the most part. also, sad that less than a week after expressing my sympathy for your sprain and saying that sprains were why i retired from ultimate (and most sports, most of the time), i sprained my own damn ankle. not as bad as yours but i sure won't be squatting imminently.

Sorry to hear that bro. Wouldn't wish an ankle injury on my enemy - worst thing to have, so hrd to train around too. In my case the physical therapist kinda left me even more despondent than I was previously. Said I have a high grade TFL (high 2 possibly 3). Says have a long road ahead, estimated 8-12 weeks. Am crestfallen but it will give me a chance to explore other things i guess. See below.

That is some shit news. Sorry to hear that.
Good luck with the recovery mate.

Thanks. Hopefully will be able to train around it soon. But some days it feels better (i guess when i rest and ice and so on) and then the following day i'll make it feel much worse because I should have continued resting rather than taking it as a sign I am back on my feet. Im back on crutches today after yesterday being off them.

Vag I actually found my R leg really sore lately cause it's been working 2x as hard. My strong leg is the injured L one. So i guess one good thing about all of this is i'll be able to bring up my weaker leg! lol. I'll go see a physio tmr and get him to strap my ankle up. That should allow me better healing. I will try to learn from him how to DIY since I'm not interested in dropping mad $$ on physios over teh next few months.

Well it's a week later and i'm due for an injury update. I kinda had a rough first 48hrs, which probably made things much worse but we was working on a deadline and had to spend quite a bit of time on my feet sans crutches. I did eventually get crutches though which I used for 2 or so days. Right now my ankle is all kinds of messed up but soreness has halved - xrays were clear for the most part, no fractures, just a probable tear of ligaments.

 I prob have another 5-7wks ahead before recovery. I'm going to try lift today though - will do weighted chinups, bench press and if I can, some OHP. Will also test the waters with deadlifts but obviously I can't squat. Fucking sucks. It took me ages to string together months of squatting to the point where I was making good progress but now will have to start over again. But lets see what happens with deadlifts at least.

Just as I was getting in the best shape of my life, did my ankle tonight. Pretty bad. Will get an xray tmr morning and see whats up. But anyways, this sucks.

We had our semi final game today btw. I went down around 3-4 mins into the game. My team played really well, scores were 2pts within the other team (they were favourites) while we were the last seeded team into the semis. So super proud of my guys, they played extremely hard.

That's a wrap.

I had a good game. We lost by one which sucks but we dominated that game for the most part. Lost our best player to injuy at around halfway thru 2nd half. I felt like we should have won anyway. I missed an and1 opportunity layup then hit 1/2 ft on that  - i guess if i had made the shot and the ft i would have helped us win. But I can live with that.

the day that i strain my elbow doing a windmill will be the day that i retire from training a happy, fulfilled man.

me too, bro, me too.

Makes it worse is instead of telling me 'dont think youll ever get one' ppl say, 'yea you should be able to do a mill' - smh fml - like that helps to motivate a brother. need to prove ppl wrong to have that fire to get myself there
