Have had serious right hammie tightness all week. Ended up filling in for my brother in laws netball team Wednesday night and put a single line of rocktape down the hamstring. OMG! No tightness, complete freedom and had some serious hops. Will need to try it again on both hammies when I play ball. Since then have had the tightness back and am hoping it's just a minor strain or some tightness related to other areas that I can free up.

Not a great deal of activity lately. Motivation lacking. Definitely have a hamstring strain. Not bad. Can still move through a decent range of motion and only have light pain when pushing off but will still give rest from basketball, squats and jumping. Have been doing some bodyweight work and just getting it to move again.

Quick session last night.

Skipping, scap work, wrists, bodyline exercises

CTW HS x 25s, 45s

Pull ups x 6, 6
Ring Dips x 4, 4

Haha I know right?

Actually it's a weird one. Jogging, jumping and squatting movements are fine. Even skipping was no problem. It's the pawing motion and the push off when sprinting that is getting me. I tested it out with a few stretches this morning though and I'm 90% of the way back I think.

08/05/17- 7.30pm

Joint rotations and dynamic arm and leg swings for warm up

A1) RDL- bar x 10, 60 x 5 DL- 80 x 5, 100 x 3
A2) Tuck FL x 10s, 10s, 10s, 5s
A3) Feet supported HS PU x 3 (partial reps), pike push ups x 5, 5, 5

B1) False Grip ring row x 5, 5 (slow reps)
B2) Shoulder disclocates x 10, 10
B3) Back bridge x 20s, 20s

C1) Squat 2x6
C2) Chins 2x6

Child interrupted workout. Wasn't too upset though as at least I'm back in the gym. Feels like forever since I've trained (7 days). Started out pretty hard on myself but have come back from that. I don't think I was really enjoying the direction of my training. Pretty much still have the same goals. Will get after them slightly differently and have some more clarity now. Haven't weighed myself in over a week which is a recent record and am not eating as clean as I was before but I'm happy where I am and now want to enjoy the process (still have a 6 pack in good lighting so I know I'm not that far off anyway).

Interesting last couple of days. Upper back and shoulders are coming along well. Not 100% but getting there. We bought a 4 month old kelpie x border collie puppy on Sat night. Got him home. He was super shy but was gentle and let everyone pat him. He slept in the laundry no problems all night and I get up to let him out at 6 to go to the toilet. Doesn't want to come back in and tries to evade me in the backyard. That's fine. I'm new so I'm cautious. End up getting him and I'm going slow, patting him and letting him get used to me again. Pick him up and put him under my left arm. He repeatedly clamps down on my right hand and I half double over due to the shock and pain and he spins around and bites me twice in the mouth/chin. Fuck!!! Next two hours are spend in emergency with an ice pack on my face. Actual damage turns out to be minor, no through punctures and no sutures required (apparently they don't do much for dog bites due to the risk of infection). I get home and he's still on the loose in the backyard. Would not come close and my wife and I copped a few more bites on the hands trying. End up calling the ranger who takes one look at me and when told the age of the dog (4 fucking months) says he will have to be surrendered. We obviously don't want to keep him and I'm super pissed at the breeder. Ranger says there are obvious fear aggression issues that have been learned through his treatment since his birth. She says the guy will be investigated and I hope they follow it through. Feel so sorry for the little guy. It's not his fault at all. Stupid fucking humans. Feel absolutely hollow about it. Anyway, I'm healing up ok. In the grand scheme of things the damage is so minor and should be largely reduced by the weekend. Just glad it happened to me and not my wife or either of the kids. Would have been far more damaging for them.

What makes it worse is that during the night when he was sleeping in the laundry I woke and had this incredibly strong feeling/thought that he would attack me when I opened the door to the laundry in the morning. Told myself he's a puppy and not to worry about it and went back to sleep.

Trained today.

Full warm up

Hang PC- bar x 10, 40 x 5
PC- 60 x 5, 70 x 3, 80 x F
(grip was the issue here. Was pulling all these sets with a hook grip and it just fatigued at 80. Tried again with a double overhand but the moment was lost)

Squats- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 115 x 5
Squats felt good. Resisted using the belt but did use knee sleeves. May throw the belt on next week or the week after when I get closer to that magical 125-130 (magical for me as that's where I usually stop)

Went to the track when my kids were doing aths about 45 mins after squatting. Warmed up and was going to do some med intensity sprints. Warm up went fine. First push off the right hammie was having none of it. I tried a few more times without luck and called it.

damn dude that is absolutely HORRIBLE.

In some better news I spoke with the pound where he ended up and they gave me an update. He's been sent to another facility for testing and potential rehab with the hope that they can retrain him and give him some kind of home. Really hope that's the case and that the little thing gets a chance at a new life.

In some even better news we got a 7 week old German Shorthaired Pointer pup last week (he's now 8 weeks old).

So far so good and he's turning out to be a great addition to the family.

SUCH A NICE PUPPY DOG YES YES YES

Coges · « **Reply #1374 on:** May 09, 2017, 08:09:33 pm »

Thanks guys. Very cute pup indeed.

They're a great dog. Medium size, can run and run and have a great temperament. Although we won't be hunting with him there are activities that replicate the hunting/retrieving for them which train that instinct. Very exciting.

09/05/17- 5.30pm

Joint rotations and dynamic arm and leg swings for warm up

A1) RDL- bar x 10, 60 x 5 DL- 80 x 5, 102.5 x 3
A2) Frog Stand- 5s x 4
A3) Scap shrugs on rings x 5, 5, 5, 5

B1) Ring Push ups x 5, 5
B2) Shoulder disclocates x 10, 10
B3) Back bridge x 20s, 20s

C1) Good morning- bar x 20, 30kg x 20
C2) OHP- bar x 6, 30 x 6

Another child/dog interrupted workout. Got more in this time though and still glad to just be back in there again. Some notes though:
Frog stand- the movement clicked for me. Got my hands wider apart and got a little more forward. This felt good.
Bridge- I can get up fine here but had some decent pain on the left side either erector or QL. Not sure which. The left side is my weak side too.
Good morning- focused purely on compression here. I will switch in Emmet Louis's split stance good morning once the hammy is fully back in action. Otherwise it felt good.

Pretty big realisation for me recently is that I don't use enough tension on the big lifts. When I do have that tension locked in lifts that usually feel heavy are almost effortless. When I don't, well...

That sucks about the dog but like you said hopefully it gets a 2nd chance at life. It's also lucky that it was you that the dog attacked and not your kids. I got bit in the face by a dog when I was a toddler and that always made me scared of dogs when I was a kid and you know dogs seem to have this sixth sense of detecting nervousness and then going after it...I definitely wasn't a fan of dogs when I was a kid but I grew out of being scared of them when I was around 10.

Thanks mate. That's the first thing I thought about too. If it was one of the kids it would have been across half their face. I'll have some scarring too which suits me fine but wouldn't be ideal for my wife or kids.

Yeah they sense fear very well. My daughter is still a bit flighty but she's getting better.

Played ball last night. Final game of the regular season. We finished second and have potentially two finals. We've qualified with a few good players so our finals team will be stacked and we should win pretty comfortably if they all play. My game last night was ok. Hadn't run much in the last 3 weeks and the hands were a bit rusty but came good. Tons of rebounds and a few points. Got into a few arguments and there was some push and shove but it's all part of the fun. The best part is the guys who were doing it were nearly as tall as me but half my size which made it a bit easier on me. Body has pulled up really well with only minor soreness which is nice too. I'm planning on playing even less next season with only 1 in every 3-4 weeks at best and getting back into martial arts (for the 75th time). Will still play to keep my finger on the pulse and we also just got a portable ring at home so will actually be able to shoot around more often than once every 2 weeks right before I play.

Sounds like it was a fairly heated game but that's good coz it usually means the game is competitive. Good luck for the Finals!
