So here I am. Getting into my first workout log since I've been on Meso. Really, it's the first time in a while I have had a structured plan. I am excited to say the least.
I am training 4 days a week.
I am starting from a good foundation. I am uninjured, motivated, as strong as I have ever been and really feel like I could be turning a corner with my ability to gain raw strength. We will see
I have had injuries. I have had reconstruction surgery on my right wrist and right knee. Other than that all of my issues are minor; broken ribs, fingers, fractured skull etc. I feel like all ailments are as good as could be so I am starting off with nothing haunting me in the back of my mind.
I am not clean. I am not on AAS but am using 3iu daily of the grey top. I am 4 days into this. Other than this I use some good ol' brotien powder, glutamine, BCAA, daily vitamin D and I love me some ganja. No other drugs and a light social drinker.
My max #'s are:
Bench 365
Squat 410
Deadlift 445
My stats are:
34
6'
7"c in cold water lol
240 lbs
Around 20%bf
15+ years in/out of the gym
I am just starting to put weight back on my legs since the knee injury. Structurally it is sound. I would anticipate strength to rebound quickly here. I am hoping my deadlift numbers come up with the balance of power returning to my lower half. We will see with this as well.
I am vain so my diet will be restricted a bit. I am going for a small surplus on training days and a deficit on the others. I know this may hold some gains back but like I said, I am vain bastard!
I don't go to a specialized gym so adding chains to the bars isn't going to fly. Bands are not restricted.
Some questions for you knowledgeable guys.
-Back support. I need to buy a belt. Good, bad, ugly?
-Any reasonable way to substitute the chains?
I am always reading and searching so I know I will find good info on the belt but what about the chain dillema? All ears there...
Listen, I have gained a great deal of knowledge since I came to Meso. I know enough to know I don't know shit. You know? Haha. I have been given some great advice along the way and I have taken every bit of it to heart. I am open to any and all advice, critical thinking etc.
Thanks for reading!
Lmao 7 in cold water hahaa

I made a new member post, thanks for welcoming me to the forum. Have a good one
Been sitting in a professional development training for the past few days. Just passed a "programming" class with a 95. I didn't put an email in the project, for alerts and what not. 
It's a drag and drop config software platform running c#. Object orientation programming is kind of boring...
Nothing new to report on the arm. It is what it is
Next week has real upper body work in it, it's been 3 months. It's time.

So there it is folks. That is a heterotopic ossification. This xray was identical to the one from 3 weeks ago, so no change in size. That's a win. I'm on the indomethacin for another 3 weeks and a follow up in 4 weeks.
What I'm being told is therapy is what will help break it down, make my rom better. The meds are keeping it from expanding. It will harden and need to be removed, most likely, at some point down the road but the ortho is being optimistic. I'll follow his lead

Have you looked into guasha? I'm not positive but that might help break it down. And depending on you insurance, it may cover a couple sessions. @Docd187123 has gotten Guasha before. I've always wanted to try it. He can expand on it further, and whether it may help you some I'm sure
I think he mentioned POB did it to him. I could be mistaken. I'm game to try anything really. My insurance has run out so I have to come out of pocket for PT now.
Yes, i believe POB did Guasha on him also. its worth looking into that or Gratson Therapy. there is a couple places in my area that offer those services so im sure youll have some near you also.
185*10 bench today
Curls are a bitch but moving along. Up to 20*10 concentration curl, very painful in the forearm.
Can't wait to get this completely behind me...

Oh yeah, still no pull ups lol!
That'll come in time...slowly but surely. If your gym has a weighted assist pullup machine that can help as well as you can set how much assist you need, or none at all for regular bw pullups.
Just had another follow up at the ortho, more xrays. Things are progressing here.
Flexion and extension are great, supination is great. All 3 of those are sitting at 100% and ready for war. The tendon is 100% and ready for action. Pronation is junk. Total junk.
It's done rehabbing and it is stuck where it is without another surgury, the one needed to remove the bone growth. So here is the crazy part to this. The damn ossification is pretty much hardened and ready to come out; like 6 months sooner than normal! That has got to be from the GH advancing it when it was a newer issue, before I found out and discontinued the GH.
The part that need to be removed is 3.5cm x 2.5cm. They will cut the same scarline, scrape all the shit out that needs to go and put me back together. I'm going to do it just after the new year I think, all that depends on my insurance and when that rolls back over to a new fiscal year.
The end is so fucking close. I cant wait to be all swole and juicy as fuck again.
