Little Hiccup

I had one minor hiccup this week. My leg decided to give up on me with a trapped nerve preventing me from training legs. Its okay though it's almost fully recovered and will be taken care of tomorrow.

I'm definitely seeing improvements but my pains and aches are also getting a bit worse. I've switched up my training to much lower reps with heavy weights and I'm pretty certain it's working as my Max weights are ramping up at a steady pace.

Generally I look a little "harder" all around and will do some new pictures for the beginning of next week.

Dieting is not as easy as I thought it would be. My mental state isn't quite as strong as it used to be when I knew I could train with only DOMS to worry about and not my football injuries.  But my injuries are haunting me with each session which is why i'm having to change things up on the fly in order to still keep working out without damaging myself (dead leg aside)

For example, my right elbow affects my ability to curl and pull up/down. So instead of heavy, palms up, bicep curls. I can isolate with dumbells and twist my grip so that it doesn't hurt. EVEN BETTER, I'm actually not too bothered about my biceps and can concentrate a bit more on my triceps as my biceps peak pretty well (have a few steps along them) so my triceps would really complete my arms all around.

Lets just hope in time (with lovely ibuprofen) I can try and overcome any/all of my injuries as the NHS sure as hell won't be doing anything for me any time soon.

PEACE!
