12 stone?

Which at 5"4 puts me in the morbidly obese range now lol

I think a lot of us are at the point now of training round injuries. My shoulder has not given me any grief since starting back which I'm really happy about. Can get a cortisone injection whenever I want but might as well hang fire til I really need it. Wrist is a little stuff post surgery and hampering things a little but not loads. So can still do about 80%+ of stuff I want to

You self medicating with the cortisone jabs mate ?

they is it GPs always use a 2.5" Green for every cortisone jabs? I had a Green in my shoulder which was fine, but they stuck a 2.5" Green in the side of my foot too?! Felt horrible. Foot still isnt right, so might ask for another shot as its been probably 6 months now. I know youve only allowed so many per year.

I'm back training again, full body though twice a week.

Nearly 50, body feels 70

Training most days, thru lockdown I've also done 5k every morning (apart from today as we had the dentist).

Currently have Hams/Chest/Quads/Pull system I have a A and B session for each, so 4 days of A then 4 days of B. Basically Hams A will be GM and curls, Hams B will be SL and curls, chest A will be flat, chest B will be Inc etc. I take days off as they come and when I need but usually do 5 or 6 days a week. I run it all progressively for 4 cycles (which takes about 6 weeks as I have an 8 day training cycle), each 8 day cycle is bettered the following week using a RIR system. Then deload for a cycle before restarting and amending as I feel necessary.

Hams A
Push A
Quads A
Pull A
Hams B
Push B
Quads B
Pull B.... random days off. Usually 1x PW but have been known to get 20 days straight in too

First cycle will be 3 sets with 3 RIR as a rule, last cycle will have increased to 4 sets to failure. High volume/reps and lower intensity right now. Generally 2 exercises per muscle altho sometimes chuck in a few biceps on chest day and a few metabolite sets for chest on a pull day. Mix of compound and isolates, some myorep and rest pause work.

I actually did “train” tonight.
3 sets of squats
3 sets of db bp
3 sets Pull ups
1 set of ohp

I say “train” cos there was practically nothing on the bar. Took me 10 mins. Just wanted to move through the movements
