s**t news about the back and the tendon mate. Tendon sounds like it shouldn't be a problem though and as you say you've gone through the back issues enough in the past to know exactly how to play it - I remember last time it "went" it didn't take you long at all to get over it. Hopefully it will be the same again this time...

from what I've read, tendon should be fine for what you do. Might be problematic if you were a bench only powerlifter, but you bench once every few months anyway if at all.

Not the best of news Joni, just make sure you rest the tendon after training and try not to do back to back pressing sessions!( and ice the mofo to increase recovery time).

Also, this means on a positive note that 'pound for pound' you have the strongest single tendon on sugden!!!!! Wink

f**k mate this s**t is catching. I bent down to stroke our dog and trapped a nerve in my back, the one that goes into the groin area. Luckily I was on my way to see pascal anyway so it's feeling better already! Just reinforcing my reputation as the weird injury specialist!Grin Roll-Eyes

LOL mick be careful mate Grin

Thanks for the encouraging words guys! f**k, cant help it eh. I was thinking, just need to become better with my leg drive because i will not strict press for s**t no matter how much i train it. This will be one of the main focuses after the comp.

Mike Daly from scotland is an awesome u105 athlete despite his shoulder problem which murders his overhead, so he is my new hero Grin

Anyway, went to train today, needed to test my back, my tendon, and my head.

Thanks babes, needed todays session mentally. This tendon thing is f**king my mind even if i rationally know it shouldnt.

he has a partial tendon tear in his groin which makes squatting and deadlifting painful, he will sort it out after the next weeks comp. Its a bummer because he is strong, and well conditioned...

i would struggle with 80 press at the moment mate, and i think it is the tendon. The Plan has to be drilling the leg drive and lockout for as big of a press as possible!

While I agree in principle, the flip side is can you expect to put 140kg overhead when you can't strict press 80kg? I would think both would need to be worked on for optimal results, but I'm sure you can get where you want to doing it the way you say.
