Fish oils & glucosulphamine for me aging joints. Just eat loads otherwise.

Managed a few sets if muscle cleans- just up to 62.5k for 5 so only about 75% weight but given how back intensive it is, shows I'm ont mend. Bit sore today mind, but that might well be the utter beasting the physio gave my back Mon eve - he said it'd be sore a few days.

Anyone on here ever torn a calf muscle?

Think I might have done mine tonight at football. Controlled the ball and felt a ping and a feeling like someone had kicked me in the calf muscle but no one was around me.

[Roboklopp]

Nope soz.

On a brighter note, physio gave me a clean bill of health last night. Just a matter of building back up the strength now. Reckon if I get a good run at it now, should be back to where I was by end of Nov. Just gotta be really careful on deadlifts, cleans & s
squats.

yeah that sounds very much like a torn calf mate, is it tight? hurt at the moment?

[Chazza]

Yeah tight and painful.

Got some ice on it and got my leg elevated.

[RichC]

yeah sounds like you've either torn or pulled it mate.

[Chazza]

Brilliant.

Stuck in the office all day for a sales meeting tomorrow, thats going to help.

[RichC]

as long as it doesn't hurt to do so try to keep it moving mate.

[Chazza]

Cheers man.

It feels a bit better moving it.

[Roboklopp]

Couldve just gone into a spasm mate- mine did that the other day but was fine after a day or so. Be easy on it & see if it improves then see a physio if it don't.

this happened to a mate who i work with on friday night. he is a bit of a keep fit nut, and on his way to work there was a steeply sloping ramp up towards a building. he run up it and said he actually heard his calf muscle twang as it snapped

he was hobbling around on friday and saturday night looking like pingu.

[Roboklopp]

Finding it really hard to get motivated to go to the Gym at the moment.

Started monitoring my calorific intake again too, as I have slipped back into some old/bad habits.

[Chazza]

You ditched the early morning visits now then?

Are other forms of exercise an option? Going to a gym sounds so boring to me.

Running, swimming, football, squash, cycling?
