Approved The Road Back - Powerlifting and Overcoming Injury

[ckcrown84]

The road back isn't going to be easy, but we gonna go from fat to fit in record time

Pictured: week 2
Videos: week 2
Supplements current: 300 Test / 10mg Dbol (Steroidify)
brand: Pharma Sust 300

Obstacle 1: Nasty shoulder impingement, no treatment plan yet. Complete loss of power output on right side, e.g. I can press a 100lbs db on my left, but on my right I am good for about 40-50lbs

Obstacle 2: Slight muscular tear in glute/erector region and a literally shifted pelvis during an accident. Am seeing a Chiro to fix this, but will be switching doctors.

This log will be updated regularly and will be planning a 15-20 week training waive, of which I am on week 2. If I can successfully navigate that comeback we will plan a competition in 2027 and then pivot into more specific training going into that.

My training for the next 6 weeks will be high frequency, squatting and benching 3x a week and rotating specialty equipment to limit load utilization on 2 of those workouts.

Let the games begin!

The saga continues, today we do a two day and some extra calories to support it--date night tomorrow, so gotta do what we gotta do.

This morning:
1x1 Pin Press - 325
Then single arm dumbbell press on my healthy side, supersetted with 5x5 barbell bicep curls

Short and sweet. My right shoulder impingement is a major issue, going to try to see a new doctor soon--likely will just take lots of supps lol

Still greasing the groove. 6x6 with the squat camber bar.

But why?

This bar is great for minimizing your ability to utilize a rapid rate of force development and introduce quite a bit of stability. Great for helping to build strength--but don't overuse it, you want to maintain skill specific work.


Still currently cruising around on 300 test / 10mg dbol.
Will be changing here in a bit once we get things firing on all cylinders.

 

[ckcrown84]

Have an injured side?
Want to man up and get that grind going:

But honestly some Unilateral work pays dividends. Requires lots of stabilization strength as well.

Am pretty pumped, training and rehab has been going super well on my back. I am on hold, literally as I type this, to try to find an Ortho for my shoulder and then we will be back cooking 100%

Current stack
10mg Dbol
50mg Anavar (brought it in about 2 weeks ago)
300mg test
My next deload is 6/4 to 6/7 when I go up to Chicago to visit some family. When I come back will likely go
600mg Test and drop the orals for some weeks-- Yes, I know orals all the time are bad but my bloodwork is never excessively bad off Anavar, at least sub 50mg. Plus, I am just trying to cook right now.

Am on week 5 now of the comeback journey--man time goes by fast! Two more workouts here, Saturday and Sunday. A heavy bench/pin press and another squat session. So week 6 and week 7 will go smooth, hit something "heavy" then vacation

Keeping my strength up with these unilateral DB Presses. Highly recommend, even if you're not injured.

Squats yesterday: Speedy single. That back is recovering baby!!!

@ckcrown84 you are looking strong as hell man. I love the Dianabol and Anavar and the testosterone with it looks really fun as well.

Point: if it was easy it'd have little or no value

Looking great on this man. Looking forward to seeing how things go forward. That's some big weight that you're pushing. @ckcrown84

Another excellent update! @ckcrown84 watching you kick ass on these videos is really awesome. It's very inspirational for the family on muscle chemistry.

@ckcrown84 good job on this! The D-Bol and the Anavar are fantastic and you're not going to go wrong with some good testosterone.

Bros, amazing job on this 600 mg test. It is looking really good. And if you want to drop the orals, that's fine. Maybe try changing up the dosing on the D-Bone and Anavar though. @ckcrown84

@ckcrown84 great updates...keep it up....

 

[ckcrown84]

slow and steady. am enjoying the comeback. just had hand surgery today, lol. carpool tunnel fixes. sleep will drastically improve. training won't slow down, dont need a hand to SSB squat.

locking in for 2027 comp season, its not as far as you think.

upcoming long form posts, or video?
the role of specialty bars
explosive development in lifting

 

[ckcrown84]

lifting hacks
when training for muscular growth limit the stretch reflex
when training for strength lean into it

 

[ckcrown84]

Hand surgery is healing fast. Got heavy SSB Squats tonight. Then another single arm press Wednesday and tons of hamstring work.
I then visit family Thursday and back Monday. Training camp begins Tuesday.

The hand surgery was a MUST and its only a minor 14 day hiccup in training, not a big deal. Had nerve release fixing severe carpool tunnel syndrome--which was massively disrupting sleep. Making me an old gruppy man and messing up my sleep.

Yesterdays workout:
5x3 single arm press
single arm tricep work--high reps on high reps
Then hip adduction and abduction to near failure.

Remember, if you have an injury or a setback you've got options... you can lay it up for a few weeks or you can design a training plan that allows you to continue getting stronger.

This old dog has no quit

 

[ckcrown84]

Nice single arm PR.

Headed to go visit family until Monday. Tuesday the stitches come out.

The supplements will change to Pharma Mix 1
likely 1.5ml / week

Will be dropping the anavar usage, but I gave the anavar a nice 6 week run during my initial comeback. Did I mention I love me some var?
