 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | Right since the Procedure I have decided to start a new journal for a couple of Reasons! Firstly I need to rehab things properly and over a period of time so that I can have the best chance of being as close to 100% as I can in normal life. I'm getting married in a couple of months and I'd like this new direction in my life to be a new start to a fitter healthier me. also when the time comes for building a family I want to be able to be there for them at all times and not have a issues that I have currently gone through, also I don't think its fair either. After my procedure I haven't been told of any after care treatment except rest up for 2 weeks and then see a chiropractor after 3 weeks. so i'm going to play things very safe after the advice from a few Sugdenites and forming my own idea's. so i feel after the PM's and posts i have had that i should be doing the following things to Drop... 1) Weight 2) Squats, Deadlift, Events, anything that would put weight through the lower back. things to work on 1) weight loss through diet and cardio such as walking, Swimming, maybe some cross trainer stuff. would like to get down to initially 120 - 125 then see if i need to make changes to take it further. just as long as i'm happy pain free and able to everything i can in life. 2) Drastically improve flexibility by getting the hips, hamstrings, lower back, upper back all looser to relieve the tension from tight muscles and a good stretching regime will be required. 3) this might be controversial but Strengthen the lower back - Starting with BW GM's with a Broomstick from this link http://southernlord.efblogs.com/2009/05/03/rehabilitating-the-... i did a bit more digging in to the nerve issues and Nerve flossing comes up a lot. also retraining the mind to a certain movement after a prolonged injury (thins will be hard as the mind thinks that the will be pain every time i move so i'll need to work on thins alot. except i'll not do the Halted Deadlift just now. this is the type of plan that i'm going to follow through untill i feel that things are getting better. Weeks training cardio exercise - Walking, cross trainer or swimming (but cardio everyday) Lower body Stretching - hamstrings, hip flexors, priformis, IT band etc. Coshack BW squat - Lunges to the side Paused Squats with BW and Broomstick Core exercise - Birddogs, Planks, Ab roll outs wood choppers, Russian twists some sort of Grip exercise Benching (maybe start 3 weeks after the procedure) chin ups, Shoulder ups, Face pulls, Inverted rows GM's 5 with Broom Handle i'll stick with this for a number of months hoping that the weight comes downs an that the flexibility improves helping the recovery. if everything goes well then i'll see about adding is something down the line. but the goal is to be lighter, fitter, flexible and PAIN FREE. some of you will not agree with with the method but i think that it will work and is something i can fine tune depending on progress. but this week and ext it wild be walking and stretching. | ||

 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I think you are right to do this. A break from heavy stuff to get yourself right is a good plan. Once fit you wont find it too hard to get back to strength training again, if and when you feel the other goals have been achieved. You know several of us at the gym here have been of the poinion that propping the heavy stuff and concentrating on weightloss and fitness followed by a spell of dare i say it more BB style training would do you good. It wont be an easy adjustment to make, but i think once done you can get to enjoy it, or at least the results of it. All the boys will give you plenty encouragement if you can stick with it | ||

 Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq | Good luck neil, never thought you would start a new journal! Ive heard high rep KB swings are good for protecting the back (ie. the backs endurance at holding the correct position means its less likely to go wrong on heavy lifts). | ||

Ive heard high rep KB swings are good for protecting the back (ie. the backs endurance at holding the correct position means its less likely to go wrong on heavy lifts). Hungarian Core Blasters or KB swings as great for increasing the Core Endurance and strength but this next 2 to 3 weeks i'll not be loading the back directly with any additional weight other than body weight. | ||

Good plan. Cardio and mobility stuff needs to be your priotity for now, but pick and choose carefully. Keep the back mobile but not strained. | ||
