Have you tried Dr. Brian White in Denver? He reshaped my daughter’s hip joint and anchored her labrum back together last summer. He will do a consult for free if you go to his website and send your films.

I have looked into him. He only does arthroscopy (which won’t help me) and Total Hip Replacement. As a 35 yr old, I would much prefer the hip resurfacing, as I will most likely out live it, and need a THR anyway at a later date. If I get the THR now, my options are much more limited when I wear it out in 20 yrs. If Dr. Gross ends up not being able to do the Hip Resurfacing, then I would most likely go with Dr. White for the THR though.

Notes: I think the stress over the last couple days, dealing with my hip situation, plus hardly any sleep the last two nights got to me. I have hit 300 x 8 before, but failed on the 8th rep. Plus my left tricep has been sore since yesterday morning. Only the left, and I can’t figure out why.

Notes: Still waiting to hear back from Dr. Gross to set a surgery date. Getting a little frustrated in general, as most everything now hurts my hip in some capacity. Seems to be getting worse almost daily. Climbing went well, except for some pain.
Wow that right hip. Sorry to hear it. And more importantly, it sounds like your day to day experience with it is getting worse. You’re an extremely active person. Hopefully they can take care of it so it functions well without pain so you can get on with living your life.

Best of luck with the hip; wish I could do more than just say good luck. Just about everyone I know in medicine is in pediatrics though, so that doesn’t help.
Had a question about your diet.
I noticed you put on something like 10 or 15 lbs over the past few months. How did you approach that? What kind of foods were your staples? Whole milk has kind of been my go-to, but I’m curious how you did it.

Thanks. As to the diet, lots of whole milk, and several mornings each week, a protein shake first thing in the morning. I also added a decent amount of noosa lemon full fat yogurt, it tastes like desert but has 300 kcal and 14g protein. Thats really about it, just ate a little more.

Notes: Haven’t been feeling into lifting lately. Not wanting to grind out reps, I might end up deloading and building back up a bit.
Very interesting log, I came in here thinking you did 5/3/1 because of your knowledge bombs you always dropped in that forum but boy was that wrong. Your training is very cool though, lots of interesting stuff.
Am I seeing that correctly that the only lift you really “program” is the Bench? When my current routine stops working for me I might try something similar to what you are doing here, it really seems to work for you. There was an exciting few pages there where it was PR every post it seemed.

This stuff is delicious, and dangerous. Have to buy in small quantities or I’ll pound multiple noosa cups in one sitting. I’ve mostly switched to Siggi’s (Icelandic “skyr” yogurt) and Lifeway full-fat plain kefir for my yogurt consumption. I have been happy to see the proliferation of delicious, full-fat dairy products stocking my local supermarket shelves.

I ran 5/3/1 for my bench from Sept 2013 to June 2014. During the summer, I was dealing with a shoulder injury, and then switched things up when I started back in late Aug to more of a DUP style. I was doing more leg work and conditioning until my right hip took a turn for the worse, and now even too many bodyweight squats hurt like fuk. I am cautiously optimistic that within about 2 yrs I can do full meets. As to the PR’s every post, that was during my intensity phase. I am hoping to have that again when I transition back to it after this volume bit.
