Approved Log Competition Prep Cycle Log - One Last Run at Competing

[ceo]

@ulter @SuperAbsVin @ballin2504 Thanks guys!
I had my usual oatmeal with black iced coffee and hit Biceps, Calves, and Quads this morning.
My Hamstrings were still sore from the Deadlifts on Wednesday. I was dialed-in and think it went about 80 minutes. I only did 45 minutes of Cardio though; my Legs were smoked.
I squashed the tip of my middle finger racking a dumbbell a few days ago and thought nothing of it. I'm sure everyone here has done it. Now it's swollen, red, and painful. I'm hoping it resolves on its own. Antibiotics now would definitely mess up my prep.
I found out today that I have a mandatory work event the day before my competition. I have always taken the Friday off before competing on a Saturday. Sometimes the Thursday as well. So, I'm looking for another show to do in August or early September. I don't think I can keep this prep going into October. I'm already thinking of my next Blast post competition.

Bros. Damn. Looks like you smoked Your hand pretty good. lol. oh well that part of the grind. happens sometimes it will heal up wrap it up

i can imagine how sore you were
deadlifts are a tough workout
then following it up is even tougher

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger Brother's

@ROIDDERS I love it brother. I was in the light infantry and learned that real gains don’t begin until after the first 30 minutes of running, rucking, and swimming, etc.

Yep. Too many think more volume over getting the hard work done

@SuperAbsVin
Freakin medical assistant asked if I’m a Crossfitter. I told him I’m just an old guy trying to stay in shape. PA did a nerve block and lanced it with a scalpel. I’m taking Keflex for the next 7 days. Big thanks to @Tiger Salman Khan for suggesting I go get it checked. View attachment 29999

You just need 7-10 days to recover bro
work on lower body and core and cardio meanwhile @ChuckaZulu67

@SuperAbsVin
Will do Brother.

 

[ChuckaZulu67]

I just finished 60 minutes of Cardio. I’m pissed I couldn’t train with the finger issue. Tomorrow I’m going to load up the Smith Machine and do all pressing movements. I haven’t wrapped my thumbs around the bar in decades and use mostly my palms anyway. I’ll be safe in the Smith Machine
