37’th birthday today.
Did a 30 minute weighted walk this evening too with 16.5kg in my backpack.

Hey folks!
I haven’t posted for month’s, as I had covid in July, which took a good month after being clear of the virus to start feeling normal. Everytime I trained for weeks after I felt absolutely wiped out, so had to stop all together and lost it all.
I finally started making some decent progress a month ago, when I started feeling ill and had severe pains all round my abdomen. I had to go to accident and emergency and was admitted with liver and kidney failure, which caused severe jaundice and they think was caused by a gall bladder infection. I was in for fifteen days, the last day on which they did an MRCP (MRI on the digestive system) before discharge.
I ended up back in 5 days later feeling awful, which is when I found out the results of the scan…I’ve got an atrophied pancreas with a cyst on it, which is obstructing my bile duct. They assume it’s caused by a bad case of pancreatitis at some point and I’m awaiting them to have a meeting about further treatment.
In the meantime I’m having to take pancreatic enzyme tablets with each meal, as my shitty little pancreas isn’t producing enough enzymes. I’m still not back to normal and often get bouts of dizziness and weakness, but I’m back exercising, which is something at least.

Wednesday 02.11.12 - Week 3, Day 2, Lower A

1a.Safety Bar Squat
58kg x5x5x8

Nasty ROM on these. Lets me get some hypertrophy work in at greater ranges than with a barbell, which is nice as I hate DB presses, especially when I accidentaly catch my defib unit in the stretch!

3a.Standing DB Curls
4.5kg per hand x12x12x15

3b.Overhead Cable Tricep Extension
3kg x12x12x15

My weight is around 86kg at the minute, which is the lightest I’ve been in my teens, partially thanks to fat malabsorption :sweat_smile: I want to get down to 80ish, then I’ll do a 12 week bulk.

Good to see you back at it. I ran into some problems too a while back. With the energy requirements of some work I’ve been doing I haven’t been able to fit lifting back in yet.

Stay strong.
