Approved Log My First Log - Cleaning Up and Locking In Before Blast Off

[TheOne1]

Great start to the log bro, keep up the detailed updates!

 

[Mobster]

I've trained in as little as 25 minutes (arm workout)

 

[zedhed]

Wow, that is a crazy weekend workout.
Good job, man. That's the way to do it.

 

[caligirl85]

Chest and triceps. Looks amazing.

Also, you're hitting some good kilograms.

 

[Shrine]

Great job on the back and great job overall.

 

[Zyglamail]

Don't believe the BS that you have to eat less than optimal foods to help recover energy.

That's just what the food companies, want you to think.

 

[Arabian]

Stay on the diet, no matter what. When you give blood, you want to drink a lot of liquids, that's what you need.

 

[BookerTNY]

Definitely let us know what happens with your scans.
Hopefully, everything is good.

 

[sambee38]

plated loaded rows and lat prayers, cool stuff happening here.

 

[Austin316]

wow hopefully the medical stuff isn't too serious.

let us know more about that.

 

[Pigsy]

Keen to follow along

 

[Frogger]

I believe the bloods and urine analysis are just a standard precaution before they send me off for an ultrasound to assess any tearing.
There's almost certainly the beginning of a hernia but it's minor enough that I only feel it when I go below parallel on a 100kg+ squat (which I'm not going to do any time soon until this is sorted).

The only thing is that with our overwhelmed medical system and me having the wrong kind of insurance (thought I had hospital cover but I only have extras and didn't change it when I noticed a while back) it could take a year or more to get into surgery without paying out the ass.

I should be checking in tonight after work with a shoulder workout and the day's weight and blood pressure. I'll take some food pictures over the weekend again as well.

you will know the results when bro? hope its not a hernia

I'll likely be called in to go over the bloods next week and then they'll set a date for an ultrasound I hope. Even though it fits the description of what a hernia feels like when I do something strenuous to feel it and the doctor said he could feel it, I'm still yet to see of feel any lump when I cough and probe the area myself so there's still hope it's nothing

you got a pic of it bro? is it like a ball?

Nothing to take a picture of, there's nothing visible. It's a burning/itching/stretching feeling about one square inch in area and always in the same spot on my lower abdomen at about hip level when I squat deep and somewhat heavy. The doctor said he could feel a hernia when I coughed for him but honestly I think he's just not used to being able to feel the muscle directly because I can't find whatever it was he felt.

If it is a hernia, it is very minor and there's zero chance of intestines becoming trapped unless it gets significantly worse

There's always the possibility that it's just a spot of skin that's extra sensitive to the stretching when my abs are loaded up and that's all I've been feeling

you should be good if no big bumps there bro

 

[Frogger]

I did get a nice shoulder session in after work tonight and some ab work thrown in as well. I'll transfer it out of my book tomorrow night along with legs, I've just been asked to come into work four hours early so I barely had time to cook a meal after the gym as it is.

I'm thinking I'll have to start shaving again once my abs are worth showing

 

[Noah Wixx]

30 minutes is better than zero minutes

 

[ballin2504]

Awesome job man
