CONFESSIONS OF A POWERLIFTER AND CAFFEINE ADDICT. Monday, July 30, 2012. Well its over and done. Didn't think I'd get on the platform. My right shoulder was so bad on the Monday before the comp, I couldn't get under an empty bar. Almost in tears, pain and frustration, I forced myself thru 3 singles at my opener of 140kg. Here's the last one:. Previous Saturday's Bench session I didnt take my 95kg opener, opting for a 1/2 board 90kg press instead - here:. So how did I go? Monday, July 30, 2012. Didn't fee...

CONFESSIONS OF A POWERLIFTER AND CAFFEINE ADDICT. Thursday, September 20, 2012. After having about 5 weeks off upper body training my shoulder is feeling a little better. It doesn't ache so much during the day but still cant get a good night's sleep , if I roll onto it while I'm asleep I wake with it aching. I still need Naprosyn to deal with the inflammation.

CONFESSIONS OF A POWERLIFTER AND CAFFEINE ADDICT. Friday, October 26, 2012. Surgery is booked with Mr. Greg Hoy on November 19 at Glenferrie Private Hospital. So I have 3 more weeks of hardcore training left. I know what to expect this time and how the rehab will go. Should be no surprises! Luckily at ESP there is a variety of SS bars I can use. But to compete I need to get under a straight bar. hence the surgery. Anyway after getting my left shoulder done I went from a 90kg bench to a 100kg ...I'll post...

CONFESSIONS OF A POWERLIFTER AND CAFFEINE ADDICT. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. I did it again. Could be a hit song hey? Meh, the past few months have been jam packed and flown by in the blink of an eye. I became a grandmother again, with little Mia being born on November 17th. I've completed the PA coaching course and passed the exam. I've been on P1, more often than not - such a drag. And I sat thru a week long training course at work and passed my OCP exam (on my birthday! The night I got home from NZ, ...

CONFESSIONS OF A POWERLIFTER AND CAFFEINE ADDICT. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Well its been 3 weeks since I've been able to bench, shoulder is recovering slowly. very slowly. frustratingly slowly! Ultrasound showed some joint effusion which a cortisone shot wasn't going to help, so I've been relying on Naprosyn on and off for the past few weeks and just not benching or doing any upper back training. On top of all this I've been sick, Fever, tonsillitis and now a head cold. Tuesday, August 28, 2012. 2008 1s...
