Question from the Infirmary for people with experience in hammy strains.

When looking at my left (good leg) from behind, the main tendon on the outside of the leg keeps twinging and carrying on, sometimes just walking, sometimes bending over to get things.

What's the process for fixing these sorts of strains? It only pulls a little up into the "meat' of the hammy so to speak.

I've been foam rolling it and doing stretches. I skipped gym Monday and may skip tonight as well as I've got some other niggles at the moment and haven't taken a full week off in a while.

yeah I've been finding them quite amusing and informative and have inspired me to really start busting my arse at the gym again instead of being scared to keep going heavier - I hope you do collate it all into a book and make some real money out of it!

Why would you title it 'where do you live', or is that a joke? Do you also have published somewhere the kinds of stuff you do for your cardio routines?

The newsletter that caused them to go viral was this one

http://ptcfrankston.com/doc/newsletter/PTC_Newsletter_IssueNo17.html

After this one got out, originally they were simply for my clients, everyone wanted to get on a mailing list

I cant believe how big it is now, up to # 180, subscribers all over the world, Kenya, Russia, Netherlands, America, Ireland etc

Its not my favourite, but its the one that got people to notice

My favourite is this one

No better place than a Skylines forum for that one, I love it

It's going to much easier to lose the fat with more muscle mass, but it's not like it isn't possible to do without gaining first. Timeframes, training, and goals would all play a part in this decision.

no I probably wouldn't - I've been training and cleaned up my diet for 6 months now, but after reading your newsletters, the thought occurred to me that I might be under eating instead of eating more to build muscle, and therefore increase my BMR.

Possibly even to the point of just eating more meat and having less protein shakes.

It's unfortunate that I can't find anyone in my friend group who is interested in trying the PTC style of training (3 x a week compounds, 2x of cardio with weights), everyone is still dogmatic about the bodypart split thing!

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
