Cheers guys
I'm back on the squat gains once more
Well today, I live up to my thread name, I'm spliced, diced and shredded to hell... shame it's battered, bruised and recovering from being bitterly cold... but I've just done the 10k Chase the Yeti Avalanche run
Ran it with gf, so didn't go fast, but it was enjoyable, un****ing real cold though, running in water shin high water, swimming in a pond and going through plunge pools! Never mind shredding my shins and hand on the quadbike course we went around 
Time for food.. lots of it
Progress pics as promised, taken about a week ago.. bathroom mirror is the only on in the house... I gave up trying to get a pic of my back.

So very tired today, two nights poor sleep, went to bed after lectures finished for an 1.5 hours, still felt knackered. Decided to plod through anyway
Squat - shared bar so warm up shortened

80kg 1 x 5
100kg 1 x 3
110kg 1 x 1
115kg 1 x 1
120kg 1 x 3
1 x 1 failed second rep, surprising the triple seemed fine, then it went to ****. Form broke down I think, I think I was leaning too far forwards, not keeping lower back tight enough. Will repeat next time

50kg 1 x 4
Pendlay rows
20kg 1 x 5
70kg 1 x 5 Disadvantage of small gym, 20kgs had been stolen, had to use 25kg plates
77.5kg 1 x 4 form was appalling
70kg 1 x 5 form appalling
Finished with some quick DB rows, I think doing abs was detrimental, so was lack of sleep. Will repeat all of the above next time.

Wasn't really a 1RM after your working set
You have at least another 5kg in you.

Should have had it, paused slightly at bottom. I lacked focus due to no energy, so didn't explode up, due to not eating enough. Frustrating. May repeat, may give squatting a break as I think I've pulled a muscle on medial caudal border of my scapula. It doesn't hurt during any movement apart from squatting. That coupled with the lower back issue. Going to sign up for a appt tomorrow with GP who will tell me to stop lifting... so I wanted to see what my 1RM was before I'm told to give it up... Squatting doesn't make my lower back any worse, so will see.
OHP DBs 12.5kg DBs 1 x 5
20kg DBs 1 x 4
Still cant get the 30's out for the first rep, can get them up, just not press them out
Strict OHP
20kg 1 x 5
40kg 1 x 5 felt unreal heavy
50kg 3 x 4
Oh dear.. going backwards, may be due to todays lack of energy tbh
T bars I was mad with frustration at this time... some bros who had been doing these appallingly earlier, were making snide comments about me squatting.
So rage mode engaged, some energy was summoned. It was time for a gigantic PB
All values not including the bar
20kg 1 x 8
45kg 1 x 4
55kg 1 x 4
65kg 1 x 4 PB
75kg 3 x 5 PB

****ing get in, massive PB. Love the movement, it doesn't hurt either of the injuries. ****ing beautiful. The looks on the bros faces who couldn't do them with the 20kg was priceless
Just drank 500mls milk, 2 bananas, 150g rolled oats, 1 scoop of peanut butter, 2 scoops of protein. Energy returning.
Areeb I'm sorry, there were 2 vids of me doing T bars, but my phone fell off on the first one and the second one stopped recording for some inexplicable reason. You have vids of my e-stats soon

I decided against squatting as my back has been making some truly horrendous popping noises, I think whatever was causing the pain is now gone but the muscles are super tight. Going to GP on Sat

Last set, after it feeling as heavy as hell to start with and difficult to get the weight to go where I wanted it to, it was like my nervous system remembered how to get the weight there.. flew up, might have had more. The body remembered my history, once a bro always a bro.
Lunges
22.5kg DBs 3 x 7 I remember now why I prefer walking lunges, these are painful
Beardbrah cable raises level 2 3 x 10

Been to GP, got referred to professor of sports medicine, also due my complex medical history having some bloods aswell incase its inflammation in the bone
When you injured your back, you stopped squatting and DLing like I am doing. What exercises did you do for your legs?
I will still be able to bench and do stuff like chin ups... but what else?
Cheers

None.
Think i may or may not have some some running more during that time. I started squatting again like 3 months later at super low weights.
I also remember doing trap bar deads instead of normal deads for a while but think that was after i had spent a few months off.
Check my log, October 11th 2012 is roughly my injury date.
I did mainly upper body stuff. Added assistance in so hit incline after normal bench and push press after strict press. That tiny dip was probably my only leg training iirc.

It's a dark day... I "celebrated" the anniversary of it though by having an awesome gym session with some nice PBs so it's not a life ending injury.
Good plan. Depending on the exact injury you could do more or less without having an impact on it...
