Taking it easy on front squats after a month off since hurting my back. With any luck the Bikram spine strengthening sequence will help there as well.

Avulsions

Avulsion fractures of the hip have placed bone fragmants in and around the ball joint of my right ( and currently least favourite ) hip.

No training until my white blood cells have finished their attack upon me and the fragments have been re-absorbed.

In the mean time Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and Morphene will be my mobility aids. Far superior to a crutch or a walking stick in my humble opinion !

Is it true that drinking Cider assists with reabsorption of calcium or did I just dream it ??
