I'm super scared of tearing my achilles since it's a massively long recovery time. For any tendon though, active recovery seems to be the way to go as long as you don't push it hard enough to do more damage. I'd be super hesitant about doing shock loading through it though with box jumps (depth jumps?), that seems like an insane thing to do on a tendon that's tenuously attached | ||

I guess I'm stuck with lifting for the time being. There are all these different sports clubs, but I don't think that there's really any replacement for it. I did manage to up the cardio, and toned down the deep fried stuff a bit, and dropped about 5lbs so far which is a decent start, considering I've been adding muscle through bouldering as well. Vert also felt better and was pushing up past 200lbs on squat. Sadly I think my dreams are over for next round of tryouts as I broke my left wrist last weekend even though I felt like I was playing better and better, which basically ends any training I could possibly do. Gonna need surgery as the break has misaligned and combined with recovery/rehab, will put me out for a few months. Severe injuries just seem to linger around me unfortunately. | ||

Is there any truth to that thought, or should I continue using them? | ||

I've read that obviously they don't make you weaker in terms of strength -- they just help keep your wrists stabilized so you don't hurt yourself. That's also the reason I use them, but I'm als concerned it might make me "worse at" keeping my wrists stable, and make whatever stabilizing muscles there weaker. Is there any truth to that thought, or should I continue using them? I don't know the answer to that and I am not sure anyone here (or anywhere) does either. Maybe somewhere there is a research paper out there for a 16 week period with n=8 participants or sth. But if there is, that would still tell you next to nothing. Personal opinion: No, it won't make any stabilizing muscles weaker. Personal opinion 2: There is dozens of things that deserve your attention more than this while training. Don't major in the minors. | ||

Try and fix underlying issue bothering you and use them as needed. | ||

Good points yeah. I guess I'll use them a bit on an as-needed/just-in-case basis but it probably matters way less than the underlying form, nutrition, lifting plan etc. On November 29 2019 03:53 IgnE wrote: I wouldn’t wear them for anything but near-max presses or olympic lifting. Which are the only things I assume you are using them for anyway. Yeah, pretty much for my heavy presses I've been using them just in case. I also did it for normal DLs but realized pretty quick that it doesn't really matter for those.

Yeah, basically I hurt my wrists a while back reracking the bar after OHP -- wasn't paying attention, the bar didn't rack on the left side, and I caught the whole bar with my wrists -____- It actually made my wrists hurt/ache for way longer than I thought, even though I got two separate doctor opinions and I didn't actually break/seriously strain anything. But yeah I think it's just a matter of slowly working my way back into it and managing the load. | ||

Would there be any other exercises to do, or would it mainly be the one above + making sure not to overdo it? Also, any of y'all got fitness goals for the new year/decade? :o Personal goal in the -105class: 227.5 Squat (~501lb) 145 Bench 260 Deadlift 620 Total. If I hit everything of the above in one competition, I am at 632.5. But that is very unlikely to happen, 9/9 competitions are rare. The biggest ask is the Bench, sitting at 120 right now. But I have been injured for nearly all of 2019. If I can train throughout the year, I should get close to 145 I believe. Related goal: Make the 18 year old I am coaching German junior champion in the -57 class and get her above 450 Wilks (~387.5Kg total). | ||

Currently taking Trenbolone (Trenorol) and am seeing significant improvements in energy and strength while lifting. First time taking anything of the sort and I’m already 3 weeks into it and already feel like the effects are starting to feel less significant. When should I stop taking and go back on it again? I currently have 3 months supply. | ||

First time taking Tren ever and I feel like at I’m peak again (when I used to meal prep and have lots of sleep). Started taking tren because I’m having a hard time getting back to my regular numbers due to traveling and increased work hours (mainly not getting enough sleep/rest) I’m lucky if I can get a full 6 hours of sleep a day, and that’s on the generous side. I’ll admit that my diet could be better, Ive been eating proteins that’s not on the lean side (due to holiday seasons). But now I’m dusting off my recipe book and plan to start back on a good calorie surplus of complex carbs and lean proteins (turkey chili, grilled fish/chicken breast, raw tuna). I guess overall I’m looking to get back into shape “quickly” but also to reach new peaks on my strength and physique later down the road as well. | ||

You're in the 105kg class as well? | ||
