I fucked up my elbow joint so I decide to take 3 weeks off to give it time to heal and now I'm back lifting, it seems that I have recovered almost entirely. Feels good.

I have been talking about 5g Vitamin C few times every week and I believe it has contributed to my recovery a lot.

I didn't lose any strength, which is great. I will just pick up where I left of, but take it easy.

What have Poalrs been up to regarding keeping themselves fit for the upcoming struggle?

A bit over a month ago I overexerted myself while trying to open a jar and injured my wrist. Instead of taking immediate care I kept working out like a dumbass for a week after the incident, which caused it to worsen. It got bad enough to the point where it would wake me up in the middle of the night. I haven't really lifted since then, but have started a cardio routine earlier this week that I plan to stick to for the next 3 months. Hopefully by then my wrist will have fully healed and I'll have good endurance built up to hit the gym hard.

It's good that you haven't lost any strength. I haven't been so lucky. What little gains I managed to make while going to the gym seems to have left me in the last month. I gained about 4 lbs of mass, then lost all 4 lbs after the injury. =(

Get yourself some Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) powder and drink 5 grams in a glass of water (1 level teaspoon) before bed. Vitamin C is really great for joints and any sickness overall, you will probably feel it's getting better in the morning. You can take same amount of Vitamin C every day, if your body has enough you will probably get a bit of a loose stool as it is how body gets rid of excess Vit C - you can't overdose on it really.

You will eventually be able to find a dose that works for you and will not have to worry about taking too much. There is some stuff about high dose Vitamin C posted on Poal too, try searching for it.
