Namonster said: What would a health professional who you've consulted know? I'd advise that Monday is too late and that you should be in there now. Im packing my gym bag now  I think we all know that doctors err on the side of caution and in the current climate of "where theres blame theres a claim" have to cover their backs and tend to give blanket advice rather than tailor a rehab program for each individual case and I cant really blame him for that , as i say Im only looking to do some light upper body work monday and not gonna push things , thanks for the advice though  | |||

| Has anyone got any insight/experience of training after a herniated disc? I popped mine 2 weeks ago attempting a pb deadlift and am now wondering when to start back and how long it will take me to get back to full strength? Im just about walking properly now but still got lots of pain in my lower back and still numb down my left leg but compared to the first few days after it happened its not too bad at all , ive got most of my ROM back only thing im really struggling with is tying my shoelaces but never been much good at that Im back in the gym on monday which my my doctor thinks is too soon but not going to push it just some light chest and shoulder work mostly so that I can start feeling better about myself as ive been down as F$£k since it happened and dont want to feel like a "normal" bloke lol Would like to do some light leg extensions as well but bit concerned about my left leg being numb so prob gonna wait till I can feel at least my knee again What I really want to know is how soon anyone who has done this has taken to get back to full event training as atm the thought of doing heavy yoke or stones seems a million miles away and if after its happened once how likely would it be that it goes again ? I know theres no exact times for these things but be nice to hear from someone whos been there and came back stronger? | |||

I do wonder how much of this article has actually come from the guy in question mind? Hes only quoted as saying a couple of things and we all know what the press is like in this country for building a non story , could well be a local reporter trying to make a name for himself and "guiding" this guy with questions that can be interpreted as the reporter likes  | |||

| Well done Ant , good result there in what was obviously a top class field , well done Phil Evs for just stepping up and competing after a nasty hamstring tear not so long back , anyone who saw the state on Phils leg wouldnt have thought he would be back in competion this soon let alone in a comp of this standard so fairplay to the guy! | |||

| From the floor to the bottom of the bar is just under 8.5" ( 8 and 3/8 if you want to be fussy) so 9.5" blocks should give you and 18" pull and so on .... | |||

| Gutted I couldnt make this but know I made the right choice , cant quite shake this chest infection off and with it being so cold today genuinely believe I would have ended up in hospital! Peeing me off cos I feel realy strong but getting out of breath stupidly quickly and then having coughing fits! Felt like a t**t messaging Alex last night but realy thought I could recover in time so left it till last minute , took the wife to talk some sense into me and now glad she did Well done to everyone competing today and especially Alex for putting this on , getting 600 people to a strongman event is no mean feat and it makes you wonder how big next years will be! Off to cwtch my quilt now and feel sorry for myself  | |||

| welcome back Scott , great to see your back slamming the strongman , after the unit 20 novice we did I thought you were gonna explode onto the open scene last year so be good to see you make good on your obvious potential mate. | |||
