lol there's a reason radiologists are MDs with 8-9 years of training.

So got the results Christmas eve. In short:

1. Moderate jumper's knee
2. Ruptured Baker's cyst
3. Oblique tear posterior horn of medial meniscus
4. Focal osteochondral lesion medial femoral condyle

More on the meniscus:

There is incomplete inferior surface oblique tear of body of medial meniscus with intra-substance delamination and incomplete tear of medial collateral ligament.

Have booked into see my physio on Jan 20 and will get a referral to a surgeon then if he recommends. Otherwise will do whatever rehab he says. Luckily in Aus they have a medical scheme for chronic injuries where you get 5 free visits to a physio/etc. I qualify apparently so will be making full use of that.

In other news haven't been to the gym since for a week (feels like a lifetime) and nearly sliced off the tip of my middle finger Christmas day which was great fun so won't be doing too much for the upper body. May or may not get into gym over the next few days. Not really too concerned at the moment tbh.

Christmas/New Years holiday period is always tough to stay consistent, let alone when you have multiple injuries. Did you get any advice in regards to squatting/jumping regarding your knees?

Yeah most of the time I don't even know what day it is at the moment.
Physio told me to avoid pressure under full flexing and to avoid jumping and running for the moment. That was before diagnosis. Doctor who have me report didn't have anything to add so I'll just wait till I see physio again in a couple of weeks to get more info.

Yeah I can't even remember the last day I was sober LOL! I had my first week of holidays in 21 months of working so I'm making the most of it over in Mildura atm just chilling 8)

Hopefully your knee gets better. Definitely just rest it because if you start jumping with too much volume or even squatting heavy it could prolong the recovery. Plus from reading your journal it sounds like you want to lose fat + also bulk up at the same time. Problem with joints is that even if all the extra bodyweight is muscle they still take more of a pounding. Not saying not to bulk but that's also another thing just to keep into consideration. Anyway enjoy your holidays!

Haha. Yeah I drank quite a lot over the last month. Mildura's hot but nice. Get yourself some oranges whilst you're there  :D

Yeah good advice. I'm always wanting both the bulk and the fat loss and for the moment I'm going to try and get back down to around 90 from my current weight of 94. Not going to squat for now (see below) so I can focus on mobility and upper body. I definitely think my body will thank me if I can get rid of 4-5kgs of fat.

Trained once during the holidays and went on a 10k hike over the weekend with my wife.

Trained this morning with Deads @100kg, FS @ 70kg, DB bench and handstands. FS left my knee quite sore actually. It's pretty uncomfortable right now so I think that'll be all she wrote for squats for now. Will still to pos chain work for now till I get treatment or a clearer picture of where I'm headed.

One thing though is I had a perfect deadlift rep today. I think I've had this before but my form and angles were aligned perfectly and the rep at 100 felt effortless. I know 100 is not exactly heavy but it was an RPE of 2/10. It was perfectly in sync. Looking to replicate a few of these going forward. For my notes I had lower hips than usual by about 3-4".

*Edit- forgot to mention that my lovely wife bought me a pair of kneecaps for Xmas.

I did wear these today for deads and squats. Don't think it played any part in the soreness. Obviously the tear is there but I think the soreness has as lot to do with the jumpers knee. Going to book in a massage for this week to get the legs well and truly worked over.

Weight is down to 92.7 this morning. Back on the IF bandwagon for the moment. It's where I can be most consistent with my eating. Plan on BCAA's after training will my first meal around 1-2pm then 1-2 more meals around 5-8pm to get the rest of the cals in.

Going to take some time off from logging. Partly due to cutting back on personal internet use and partly because I'm becoming too consumed with training right now which is not great considering I can't train to my full capacity and it's driving me crazy.

Going to keep training and pushing on and will check back in a couple of months.

Good luck to everyone with your training goals and catch you soon.

And....I'm back. That was a long absence  :D

Have checked in on some logs every now and then and one thing struck me which was the power of community is greater than going it alone. This came through clearly in Chris's log. I've been struggling with things lately (physical things) but that's nothing compared to what Chris is going through.

Anyway, I'm seeing a sports physician in 2 weeks about my knee. On the advice of my physio I'm off all load bearing exercises (closed chain) and free do to open chain ones. Basically anything that doesn't involve putting load through my leg whilst my foot is on the ground.

I've taken the opportunity to try and focus on getting some upper body size. I thought this would be a great time to be getting "jacked". Finding it extremely difficult to get motivation and momentum together though. Training just isn't as fun without squatting and deadlifting. Anyway, I'm doing some bro/brah training at the moment and fingers crossed I get the nod to get back to training without surgical intervention.

Cheers. I will.
I am guilty of checking the same 5-6 logs when I check in here.

Current plan is to get some upper body volume going on, actually do some core work and keep myself from going crazy.
Training 5 days a week doing - Back, Chest, Back, Chest, Shoulders, (arms done respectively on back and chest days)
Doing more volume for first 2 weeks, then more strength focus for 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat.
Alternating leg extensions and leg curls each session. Also need to do hard spin bike intervals (50 rpm) so doing those every 2nd day.

I have never prioritised upper body, especially chest, so I guess now is as good a time as any to do it. Already noticing a difference which is great.

Hoping to get some good news on the knee in 2 weeks and resume leg training but aware that I might have to wait a bit longer than that.

30/01/16

Chins - aiming for 3x8 + failure set (FS)
bw x 6, 6, 6, 4

Lat Pulldown-
36 x 12, 41 x 10, 46 x 8, 51 x 12

Hammer Chest Supported Row- (these sucked. didn't feel them in the right area at all)
eh...40 x 8, 45 x 8, 55 x 8, 55 x 16

DB Hammer Curl-
10 x 8, 8, 8

Leg Curl-

Going to nix the leg curl and extensions. Knees feel worse after doing both. Will go with reverse hypers and hip thrusts maybe.
Workout was not bad, not great. Actually more bad than great. Oh well.
