Some impressive lifting at PTC yesterday
Pierre benched 127.5kg at 80kg, and squatted 150kg x 3
Nina benched 75kg with a Sling Shot, thats a 15% increase
Jesse powercleaned 90kg @ 63kg. Thats fucking strong. He now squats 130kg, deads 170kg and benches 80kg. I think he may be ahead of Max at the same stage. Unbelievably explosive.
Max squatted 180kg with his first attempt using knee wraps, he'll get better as he practices with them.
Amy and Karen deadlifted 105kg
Baters, a footballer, got 91 reps doing Tabata UDL's, superb performance.

I wasn't fast, stong or happy when I weighed 78kg and was a skinny mess who's main hobby was getting completely trashed.
Bigger and faster than he would be if he didn't train at all
Nick reminds me of a trainer at one of my gyms, trains really hard, sweating, grunting, crying out in pain. Looks great, quite strong by mainstream gym standards. He seems to have a different injury every week.
Injuries are the price we pay for the thrill of not sitting on our arse.
Exactly. All i can do is make sure they dont get worse and prevent new ones.
Yep
Firstly i rest and try to figue out why it happened. Then i rehab and put in place measures so it wont occur again.
I have a few physios I see but I also try and learn as much as i can on my own and implement that.
Not much you can do about feeling like shit except man up and get on with your training. Not being able to train is horrbile but you just have to get back on it.

You learn pretty quickly what you can and can't do (plus volume etc).
I know I can't consistently do horizontal push exercises cos my back muscles are fairly weak (imo anyway) and I have impingement problems in my shoulders (basically means if I bench bench and more bench I'll end up with horribly rounded shoulders or rotator cuff injuries)
Daniel - if you've got tight hip flexors etc you need to STRETCH.
Stretch those muscles and strengthen the opposing muscles.
If you're not doing the exercises at the very least substitute them with either a light prehab exercise or stretching

Some progress pics from my training.
I could have made this change much more dramatic if I trained and ate properly from the start. The first few years I was still partying and drinking too much.
Early 2007 - No training 78kg stick man
Late 2009 - 112kg bulked up.
December 2010 106kg much leaner.
