Got a injury doc says he is not sure what it is. Pain in wrist if I rotate it or do things like sandbags etc. Ok though on stuff where join static in pull like deadlifts etc. Pain often then runs up forearm to elbow and lower bicep. Been taking ibuprofen and supporting wrist with wrap, any other tips? | |||

I'm back! Been bodybuilding training whist slimming down a bit. Dropped from 18.5 stone to 17 stone but wanted to properly start strongman training so go a local trainer and started again. Working out 2 times a week at mo with bike rides on the other days. Will up after recovery times improve. Loving proper training with logs,sandbags, farmer walk and thick bars! Here's how its going so far this week (all kg). Not doing any maxes as my conditioning needs sorting so short breaks. Not taking any supplements at mo, ordered up some whey and creatine - Strict Log - brand new to me. 65 x 5 70 x 3 75 x 3 80 x 3 Sandbag to raise platform - brand new to me. 60 x 5 80 x 3 Squat 70 x 10 80 x 10 90 x 20 Single Arm Dumbell Press 25 x 5 30 x 5 35 x 5 Deadlift - no straps olympic bar 150 x 5 160 x 5 170 x 3 180 x 3 Fat Bar Deadlifts no straps - brand new to me. 130 x 5 140 x 5 150 x 6 160 x 3 Zercher Squats fat bar - brand new to me. 60 x 10 70 x 5 80 x 3 Lots of high speed circuit stuff at the end of each workout for exmaple - 30 sec rowing machine, 5 second break then 60kg overhead press for 30 secs then 5 sec rest then 60kg front squats 30 seconds and back round twice. This is mixed with adding the sandbag, farmers walk etc. Goal is to Dead 200kg for good amount of reps, 100kg log for reps, 150kg squat for reps so I can do a novice event in 6 months or so. | |||

Post Edited: 08.01.2013 @ 12:04 PM by NoClue Been crap at updating but the bicep/arm injury is really not sorting itself.I have rested completely for 3 weeks and it seemed ok, went back in yesterday and did chest and it feels pulled again. It';s weird, it when I full extend the arm there is a tightness and ache that runs down the bicep and along the forearm. Dumbell and barbell rows really show it up. Having to go light so making no progress ![]() | |||

Mad benching! Nice one! I notice after 1 or 2 warm up sets you go to singles all the way to PB, Ive been doing max reps with the weight at each step, guess im using energy that could give me a PB so defo goner try that going forward! hixxy1985 said:thanks fellas - feeling at my strongest which i suppose is perfect timing for sunday.
