So, with the toe still not right (bruising has gone down but putting too much pressure on it is not healthy, also unable to bend the toe at the knuckle :/ ) I have gained another injury....

While negative dipping with 20kg between my legs (i have heavy balls eh?) my wrist seems to have pulled a tendon.
I was able to actually manage a couple of full dips, even though the intention was purely to do negs (dips at 150kg total, go me!).

hurts to even use the hand as a support to stand up from a chair :<

Is it your love hand?

Ice it and get a compression bandage and see the doctor as you might have a slight fracture.

Nah, thankfully its my left hand (i am left handed but do many things with my right hehe)

might have to pop into town to get a compression bandage, boots a good place for one?

Boots is always good - I spend a fortune there!

Bought an elastoplast one with a thumb hole and a rap around. feels nice and tight now ive yanked it around

Shit Morba, you've sure hada bit of bad luck recently... let's hope what they say isn't true that things come in 3's...

Yeah, im now trying to think of what else has happened, hopefully that was the third...

thinking about it, i had pulled a muscle in my neck only a few weeks ago. I'll class that as 3 in total hehe

How did you injure your neck?

I'm certain I saw a photo of you and you just have a head stuck on some huge shoulders?!

haha, i used to be called 'no neck' :/

doing relatively light shrugs. was shite, proper fucking form and i hurt something. see all these bastards rounding their shoulders, circling and all other manner of crap bad form during shrugs :/

post the no neck photo again and shopw the youngsters what a man looks like!

Do you use wrist straps ? These may help protect the wrist as you train .

Mine helped a great deal when I hurt my forearm .

I got mine from pullman ( got the link from Galt or Karlos I think . They seem to love shirtlifters equipment

No neck aint as bad as my wifes uncles nickname,hes known as Uncle Fat Neck! His pals,family and even the kids call him it!

I hope the 3rd thing isn't anything like my banging head, snotty face and general hit by a truck feeling. Due to poor sleep, I feel a litle over-trained methinks... Going to sue Jake for encouraging bad ass, near cripplling sessions!

Told you eat loads and get plenty of rest when not training! Takes a while to get used too.

I hear ya big man - still shoveling the grub in at the moment- not lost any appetite- having the day off, should pass over night and then onwards and upwards. I feel a hell of a lot better than when I dragged my sorry self out of bed. Knew it was coming yesterday when I was rather poor at WG Pullups but then PBd a load of other stuff but paid for it at work as I was really not down with lobbing pallets about.

It's hard to ease up on the weight when it's going well... Surprised really, been a while since I had even a sniffle and I used to be prone to colds.

Couple of weeks down the line and you will wonder what you were complaining about! Seriously though if you feel tired or overly sore then have a rest day,as i said to you before when training nearly everyday then a day off hear and there is no biggie.

Yes Sensei Hopefully they won't call overtime tomorrow night and I get another 10 hours in the sack after I anhialate my shoulders and then turn my legs to jelly... It never ends It's all good though.

I'm back to this routine myself this week,i too had today off so i will make up for it by training saturday and maybe a little bit of abs on Sunday

Me too, Saturday is now arms day - just knocked it all on a day, no biggie as most sessions are the 70-80 mins range, only straying to the 90 mins if I warm up the big stuff with a few more lighter sets. This seems a really good way to train for progress. Obviously the gains will probably level out in a couple of months, but hopefully, with a break in a few weeks(5) for just really light stuff, I can shock it up again to drag the gains a bit further.

Yep,you should get good gains but it will level out a little when you get used to it,but as you said just change it around a little for a few weeks.
