BioForce, Peptides, and Meniscus Rehab: Week 3

Three weeks ago I was in a wheel chair with a torn meniscus and severe MCL sprain in my right knee — the popping, cracking, and tearing sounds were gross. Even gearing towards rehab and mobility, my ability to train was limited, so I shifted to training what I could; including dry fire (pew pew) practice and completing a Certified Conditioning Coach program.

Summary:

Week three of my rehab program has added resistance bands to my mobility routine, making it more of a strength program with a heavy emphasis on stabilization (it hurts). However, I was able to drill a little more and even snuck in some very light rolling on Saturday!

Given my current rate of progress, I’ve decided to hold off on peptide therapy. I don’t have reservations about ethics or efficacy, I just don’t have a control measure (a good thing?) to compare the results to. Additionally, I’ve renewed a commitment to reduce my drinking (alcohol) for at least 30 days. There were a lot of factors involved with this, but I also didn’t want to waste money on peptides if my nutritional foundation was less than stellar.

Next week I’ll drop a BJJ / Training Journal template the you can download for free. However, as I’ve crushed 15+ hours of material from Joel’s conditioning course in ~5 days, there have already been some updates and changes to my own training journals and logs.

Of course, you can learn about the specifics below! Also, keep an eye on the chats page for any and all updates to this site.
