When you love squats, but the coach? Not so much! still getting it done even with a nasty finger injury.

A quadriceps tendon rupture is highly likely part of what I’ve done with this injury considering all signs and symptoms. Currently still waiting for an MRI to confirm.

• This is a traumatic injury of the quadriceps insertion on the patella leading to a disruption in the knee extensor mechanism.

• Diagnosis is made clinically with a palpable defect 2 cm proximal to the superior pole of the patella with inability to perform a straight leg raise and presence of patella baja on knee radiographs.

• Operative repair is indicated if there is disruption of the extensor mechanism.

I might look all smiles in this first photo, but unfortunately I was sat in a bed in A&E after slipping and falling badly while helping removing cricket covers in priory park Saturday evening.

I am currently home and waiting to an MRI scan as an out patient for a suspected ruptured quadriceps and potentially ligament damage in the knee as well. This will be followed up with a consultation with the orthopedic surgeons to come up with a treatment plan.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people that have helped, lovely messages and who have been amazing.

I plan to record my journey of recovery on here, any questions please feel free to ask.

Strength isn’t just about how much you can lift—it’s about how much you can endure, adapt, and overcome. At HoldFast Fitness, we know that true growth happens when you train your mind just as much as your body.

Life, like training, throws challenges at you. But resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about learning, adjusting, and coming back stronger. Hold fast, stay true, and embrace the storm.

Here’s a glimpse of what we’re up to—action shots from our Strength & Conditioning class, pushing through with the push press!

This class is just one of the ways we’re keeping the momentum alive while HoldFast Fitness searches for its future home. Right now, we’re laying the foundation—building strength, resilience, and a community that thrives no matter where we train.

Until we have our own space, we keep showing up, putting in the work, and proving that resilience isn’t just a mindset—it’s an action.

HoldFast - Stay True
