strong mini session there rob, how is the knee!?

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Thanks Natzo and PV!

Pv after the deadlift attempt my knee got worse, monday I'll do a magnetic ressonance and see what's wrong.

Friday:

Bench press
6x2@96kg

Triceps pressdown
3x12

And some calves.
Did only 2 bench sessions this week as I was feeling my chest and shoulder sore all the time.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Monday:

Bench
4@108kg
4@108kg
3@108kg
3@108kg - my training partner point me out that I wasn't breathing in the entire set, and I wasn't hehe, that's why the first 2 reps were so easy and the third was a grind. I had so many things to do this day and was not concentrated in training. Besides that bench is going very well.

Laterals
3x10@16kg

Triceps pressdown
3x10@heavy

Tuesday:

Db row
2x8@66kg

Stiff - deload
3x10@70kg

Then some isometric barbell hold with 170kg, calves and neck.

As the doctor said it seems my knee have bursitis, not a major problem, but a major pain in the ass, only time to heal.

5 days ago I had my diagnose: partial rupture patellar tendon.
That's why the doc said it was nothing and I push him to get an MRI...mother****er.

I started conservative treatment yesterday (physio). If it doesn't fix it: surgery.

I keep training my upper body, not so motivated, but, still...

It's been hard...which conforts me it is know that one day I'll train again.

See you fellas

 

[Skeptic]

Holy **** man, thats a massive bitch. Heal up quickly!

 

[jonathan]

take care Rob and remember what Winston Churchill said: Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in.

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Skeptic and John: thanks a lot fellas! I thinking positive...this injury is just a little obstacle in the long road.

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Been training my upper body heavy, specially back and wrist, trying to catch up my best bench mark. Also, giving trouble to some heavier guys at armwrestling.

Regarding the tendon, I went to a good doc and he sad it will take 6 months to a year to the tendon be 100%.

Some PBs this week:

Pullup: me + 50kg for 4 reps
Db row: 72kg for 5 reps

Thats it.

 

[El Freako]

Fuck me Rob, both solid PBs!

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

Got a power rack and a bench, no more gyms!

Been training...pushups, pullups, arms. Next week I'll start a decent upper body training. Knee stiiiiil healing, lightly better...

Just waiting my supplements to come and increase speed recovery...

Maybe a 1RM pullup tomorrow

See ya foockers!

 

[El Freako]

Hurrah for home gyms!
