This week has definitely been up and down.
We travelled to Milan for Joe’s show. He did amazing and placed 3rd in an amazing line up of athletes. We also got to meet our coach Lucas properly for the first time after chatting on zoom or WhatsApp every week so was amazing to have the team together.
We also had Full Boars very own Robbie to come and support with the whole show documented by Metanoia media which is on our YouTube so make sure you check it out!
It was a great weekend all round until…
I fell down the stairs with my suitcase on the way to the taxi at 5am which was taking us to the airport. Felt something pop in my ankle and by the time we got to the airport 35 mins later it was the size of a tennis ball and super painful.
Travelled to the UK as planned and just had to grin and bear the pain.
Swelling has continued to get worse but luckily there is no fracture after having an x-ray.
The physio in me was confident it was ATFL sprain but I just wanted to rule out a fracture which I have. So the plan now will be planning a rehab protocol for myself to get back to full function as fast as possible.
Not ideal but just another bump in the very bumpy road of 2023
Hey hey,
So been a couple of weeks since my last update but things are pretty similar.
Exactly the same set up with food, steps, nutrition etc and bodyweight is holding steady which is nice.
Training is still flying and working hard to hit my performance goals:
-Shoulder press 18×10 so will be onto the 20’s this week
-Smith hip thrust still at 120 just working on keeping that connection and increasing reps. My glutes aren’t my strong point so making sure I progress but still keep connection is super important for me.
- 2.5 plates pendulum has been hit so will be 2.75 this week (3 plates is in touching distance at the rate I’m progressing with this which I’m buzzing about)
- 3.5 plates on the leg press so 3.75 this week
Quads are my strong point strength wise (wish it was the same for my glutes but such is life)
Got a busy few weeks ahead with travelling to Italy and the UK for Joe’s shows but for now it’s routine as normal
