Felt much better today. Went to work and barely even had to use any tissues.

I've started incorporating farmers walks after watching a Joe De Franco video and him spruiking the benefits of this exercise for core and traps etc. I always train when the gym is fairly empty but I did catch a few puzzled looks from other people at the gym probably thinking along the lines of 'what the hell is that guy doing!?'

Crunches-

Good call on the farmers walks. I've been meaning to start doing them again (and also suitcase carries) to work on my core. I never did figure out how to make my obliques grow.

I'm enjoying them so far albeit only done 2 sessions with them. They feel functional and a nice way to end a workout.

125x1
102.5x5 for 2 sets
102.5x3
85x8

I'm happy that I got 125kg (275lbs) but everything felt heavy today, which I attribute to 5 hours sleep and lifting yesterday. Whenever I bench without training the day before it always feels a bit easier. I had planned to come in and do 112.5x3 for 3 sets but adjusted to 102.5x5 instead based off how heavy 115 felt in the warm up.

Also played some pick up basketball today for about 90 minutes with some mates. Left Achilles felt fine when I was playing but flared up afterwards and is painful as fuck right now! Prior to playing basketball and going to the gym I had a MRI scan done on my achilles and have an appointment with the Surgeon tomorrow afternoon so will be able to get an update on the condition of it. I'm thinking I might have some Haglunds deformity on the left side so it will be good to get some confirmation of the issue.

Monday

Had the appointment with the Surgeon today. I was in there for less than 5 minutes. He bought up the MRI on his screen and confirmed that it was achilles tendinopathy and he could do surgery to treat it. Since I've had private health insurance for only a month I'll have to wait 11 months to get it done. I also had the MRI sent to my GP so I'll make an appointment for next week and try plan b, which is to get a printed copy and try and get hooked up through a friend that works in the public health system. My achilles was very sore today after playing basketball yesterday but it pulled up better than the last time I played basketball a few weeks ago.

Strong AF at the moment mate!

Good call on the farmers walks. I've been meaning to start doing them again (and also suitcase carries) to work on my core. I never did figure out how to make my obliques grow.

I'm enjoying them so far albeit only done 2 sessions with them. They feel functional and a nice way to end a workout.

I used to do them a lot at my old gym but I had to do a bit of weird route to get enough meters in. One time someone said: "The dumbbell rack is over there mate if you're looking for it".  :derp:

LOL! That would have been awkward. I always have my headphones in at the gym so I haven't had any comments like that.
