HPC 3x3x75 (PR)

CURL 6x40, 6x47.5, 10x46 (LPR), 10x42.5

Squat notes:
Back to warming up with 125kg on FS and then BS doubles! Ofc it felt like a 2rm but whatevs.

Hang PC notes:
Came a time in the first workset when my grip was holding me back, i failed a rep, then heard Gukl saying 'jus hook it man', and so i did, and didn't fail any more reps for the rest of the workout

Food notes:
Log here. I feel like i should have slightly more protein (ran out of meat today and dont feel like eating pork sausages which i dont enjoy the taste of anymore) but whatevers. I also would have liked slightly more carbs but dont feel like making pasta or something. I ate 8 eggs today again. Kingfisher mode enabled.

Weighed 177.8 today. I'm a lot leaner now that I was last wk when I got 177 for the first time. Ive had a whoosh - no doubt thanks to the basketball ive been playing recently. I played sunday, monday, weds - and it just did amazing things to my bodycomp. Lower back, abdominal fat, even my fat ass is affected. It's kinda enlightening that I can achieve these changes to bodycomp just through bball. I kinda didn't need to do the whole hardcore dieting thing. My bodyweight hasn't changed much if at all and still such huge changes in fat loss. Hard to explain. Now feels like im about a kilo and half loss away from being pretty ripped. Can prob do it by 1st feb but im in no hurry to get there, happy to let it happen naturally while I keep getting better in the gym and on the court. Conditioning yall, it's the secret to bodycomp.

All this training though has not come without cons - I  strained my spinal erectors on the RHS yesterday on the first rep of a set of ohp. I jammed up my left elbow pretty good attempting a windmill the other day. So these things are starting to add up. Would like to get injury/nag free again.

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.

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.

No good on the ankle mate. Get it checked and fingers crossed no major damage.

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.
