I havent been tracking this for the past couple of months(!) as I broke my hand in the Madrid Open, doing a Marcelotine and basically pulled my own hand apart. I didn't realise I had broken it for nearly 2 weeks until I had to get an x-ray. Then I had to get surgery and a plate put into it - typical!! So no bjj for nearly 6 weeks so far. Healing is going ok, back for my final check up (I think) tomorrow.

Stocking up to help move through the various phases of injury repair -> inflammation -> proliferation -> remodelling. . Omega-3 and Boswellia extract, to help modulate inflammation. Glutamine to help with bone healing and immune system. Glucosamine (I’m aware of the inconclusive studies…). Vitamin C for collagen synthesis. Comfrey Oil - boneknit remedy for when the cast comes off... . Also not pictured Whey Protein, Creatine, ZMA, Turmeric, Green Tea, Pineapple / Bromelain. . I would generally introduce new supplements gradually but in the case of an acute injury involving surgical intervention, I’m having a supplement party over here 🎉

In the past week or so I have been doing a small bit of lifting again. I started back on Squatting and am only at 100kg for 5 reps. Everything feels ok while doing them and I am enjoying training them again. The ego is thinking about aiming for PR's but I'll just take it week to week right now, the main aim is to get back on the mats asap.
