Thanks Rev for your advice, I will definitely take some things on board. I know I need to ice more, it's just I really can't be bothered doing it at night. I did start to get into icing though a month ago... I think it just needs to become habit for me and I will be okay with regular icing. I do get regular deep tissue massage and my physio massages the knots out too. I try to massage the area myself as well. I'm going to start band rotation exercises again once I'm home and continue my exercises given to me by my physio. However, the exercises she has given me are more posterior chain based. I'm so torn; I don't want to give up deads as I'm just starting to get somewhere with them. Bench is also my favourite exercise even though I've made very little progress in the last 6 months. I really enjoy performing the movement and it's the one I've always been most confident in, technique wise. I gave up all weight exercise for 8 weeks when I first got this injury and it took me around 2 months to get back to where I was strength and endurance wise. I really don't want to stop again and go through not progressing and the negative feelings that follow when I'm finally starting to get somewhere with these three lifts. I have strength goals I'm chasing now and I don't want to give up on them

Went to the osteopath again today, he suggests I have an infraspinatus injury on both left and right sides. He explained the right side has been overcompensating for my injured left side so now I have the injury on both sides. It was pretty heartbreaking to hear him say that it will probably never go away when I asked him. I'm going to continue lifting though, I'm not giving up.

Nah, I've joined dungeon powerlifting gym where I live but I've only trained there once. Looking forward to getting back home and getting into it there though

? I don't go to PTC I'm at Genesis in Melbourne atm

You're building lots of abdominal endurance; however I've found compound exercises such as lat pulldown, rows and deadlifts have helped my abdominal definition more than specific abdominal targeting exercises, along with diet to lower body fat, thus making definition visible.

ah yeah cool, well good luck with getting back into squats!

Fair enough, just hope you don't aggravate your pre existing patella injury

I've just been to the osteopath after squats aggravated my injury last night (on the right side, not my injured left side). Be careful Troy, it's not worth having a constant injury

I'm not lactose intolerant but milk doesn't agree with me; however I can eat food with milk solids etc. The WPC is Bulk Nutrients, and I usually consume Bulk Nutrients WPI. Oh no what have you done? When my injury was really bad I couldn't lift my arm above my head for about a week, clothing, showering and going to the toilet were a bitch.

Thanks Rev. I have been sleeping, possibly better than usual; it's just I've been going to sleep much later and waking up much later. I usually go to sleep around 11.00pm and I get up at 5.45am evey morning. I've been going to sleep at around 2 or 3am recently and getting up around lunchtime, which has made me feel lethargic. Unfamiliar environment: not much I can do about that but after yesterday I've definitely lost confidence. I feel like I need to do something I'm good at like aerobics or boxing before going back to weights again. My injury flared up last night too, but on my right shoulder rather than my injured left one... Lots of pain today
