Update
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Well, Christmas Day I was at work, I was doing a simple routine job and hurt my shoulder. I have been out of training for the past month and on light duties at work.
I have gotten clearance on my shoulder and next Thursday and Friday have booked a couple sessions with a personal trainer to help me with getting my strength back. I have decided on a couple things:
1. I will not be drinking anymore
2. I will train 3 out of my 4 days off
3. I will not spend an insane amount of money on supplements (and try to save)
4. Will put together a rather INSANE squat video.
I’m looking forward to my first PT session. I like the trainer, he can be a bit arrogant/cocky at times, but he’s a decent enough bloke. My main goal is to increase my leg and shoulder strength, while strengthening the small stabilising muscles around my ankles, hips, knees, elbows and shoulders. The last thing I need now is another injury.
I will be competing on March 21. Just a club comp. Try and get a 180kg total (80kg snatch, 100kg CJ). Also am gonna try to cut down to get into the 69kg division. That way I am more on track to get my 188kg qualifying total for Nationals (as opposed to a 200kg total for the 77s).
Another couple areas I want to bring up strength and explosiveness is my calves and traps. I know these areas are strong already, I just wanna get them used to moving at maximum force with heavy weight (ie, producing maximal power).
Gonna be retaking my supplements (creatine, protein, nitric oxide, multivitamin), haven’t been taking them since being injured, I saw it as a waste. Eating reasonably clean. Hopefully, my PT can help with that a little.
All in all, I think I am heading on the right direction after a month of injury and drinking. Bodyfat and bodyweight have risen to levels I dread. Cut down, get stronger, be healthier.
Go Heavy or Go Home!
