Felt like shit but gained steam as the 5*5 went on

Replaced squats with adductor/abductor work. Lower body is what it is for the time. Get stronger where I'm weak and come back with some good numbers maybe :)

Floor press

Not a full tank of gas today but not bad, just not very strong. Good form though. I'm going back up in calories to see what gives; my waistline or this rut I'm in.

My wife is kicking ass though. God I love watching her workout ;)
 
A little headway here :)

My pwo is better for me after a few hours. Knew I'd find a sweet spot area eventually ;)
 
I've got some sad news in my power lifting career. I'm hanging up my cleats gentleman.

Throughout my life I've had some pretty good injuries. Destroyed my right wrist and it's held together with a cool plate and a half dozen screws. Destroyed my right knee and the bottom of my femur. The knee is essentially fake with a femoral ostyotomy. That's a good one. Find a finger that hasn't been snapped, lol. Recently a hip fracture and adductor tear on my right side.

Well, today I tore my left bicep dead lifting. It's trashed. I'll be at the ortho tomorrow if they can get me in. The pain is around a solid fucking 5.

I love trying to be strong but I'm not the guy I don't think. I shouldn't be breaking like this. I'm in my mid 30s and I have a family and a company that need me to not be broken. They deserve the best me I can give them and right now I'm letting everyone down. For these reasons I'm going to walk away from wicked heavy weight. (Wicked heavy for me anyway)

I'm going to push ahead and get healed and crush the iron when I'm healed. I'm naturally a big guy and I've always been good at filling that big person role. Since I started aas all I have done is chase numbers. It's time to use aas for size and not focus on insane strength I think. It's also time to dial in a sick diet and get back to my normal 'I can see all my abs' self.

I am sad about this but it's different this time. It's a crying fucking shame but it's just more fuel to my fire long term. Hey, on the bright side I'm probably going to get a cool new scar or two. :)

I have the bicep wrapped right now. When I shower and the wrap comes off I will get some pics, it's kind of weird looking lol

Stay safe guys.

Sorry to hear that brother. Wish you a speedy recovery. It's a tough sport. You have to stay on top of body constantly. Even with all things aligned somethings just aren't meant to be. I've contemplated hanging it up as well.
 
Oh that sucks Icky, and here's hope the tear is one that came clear off the bone and that sort can be fixed with surgery. I've nearly torn my own left bicep this past winter but also really did a number on the tendons in that arm too so I now have to be careful as well, and oh yes the pain was at Defcon 4. We aren't getting any younger :(

I am planning on not chasing big numbers anymore as well but simply going for higher rep ranges on lifts.

Ask @penche...he had the same injury as you.
 
My adductor took almost a day and a half to show bruising. It traveled into my calf from my groin. Less pain than this one. I took a left over muscle relaxer and I'm feeling better
 
Yes, supinated side tore
Yup, that'll do it, as I've learned that myself when my left arm came apart when I lost control of the bar when doing heavy underhanded barbell rows. I certainly got too greedy that time :oops:

Hope you heal up fast and then return to the gym humbled even more like I did.
