Nice cardio work mate, you will be fit as a fiddle in no time!!

The US army recovery program looks good, if a little cautionary, that would probably be good for yourself, who will want to do log 4 weeks after out of a sling Wink

joni , how did they reattach your tendon if it came clean off at the bone ? also , can you work with the other arm or are you not risking further imbalance ? as kb / db one arm swings would get you blowin like a train

JC, yeah they may look cautious but actually, it is way more aggressive than the other protocols i have seen. The risk is to retear the weak tendon attachment if you move too fast.

Basically what they did was they drilled some holes in the bone, put these hooks in it, and used stitches to attach the tendon to it, and then the tendon will heal and attach to the bone, and i presume these hooks and stitches melt away? dont actually know Grin

Thats why it is so fragile now and i have to be content with the wanky exercises and keep the arm in a sling eventhough it feels fine.

So i dont think i can do swings yet - too much movement, but will defo add stuff like that in when i get a go ahead from the physio. I am already very imbalanced, but f**k it. Many people say that the imbalance will correct itself quickly - quicker if i keep on training the other side.

Is it true that the tendon will be shorter than the other side due it being put in a hole? If you know what I mean?

i can already wank with the left, but thanks for the concern.

i wouldnt know 100% but as far as i understood it they dont place the tendon head in any hole, but rope up the tendon with the sticthes and then pull it to the bone, tie it to the bone and let the tendon attach to the bone on its own.

this is a image of a similar surgery, you can see the stitching on the right how they are pulling it from the left to the right:

THE DUNGEON

Was good to go see the guys again, even if it breaks my heart i cant join any of the fun. Boys looked mighty strong though, The Dungeon, breeding place of beasts.

my session was largely spent faffing around with the hip belt - just cant get it to f**king work and feel ok. Basic problem is that usually it is used by people with back problems, so they can use their hands to get the loading in in place etc, whereas me as one arm bandit cant do f**k all.

Hip belt squats
with loading pin
10x15
10x30
10x40
10x50
with barbell
10x40
10x50
10x60
10x70
10x75

rolling thunder, right only of course
1x40
1x50
1x60
fx65
1x65
1x65
2x65
3x65
4x65

Was good to see you today Joni. You'll soon be back at it smashing PB's, just keep doing what you've got to do til then.

I have an idea for the hip belt squat too. You could stand on the bumpers inside the rack with a gap between them for the barbell to go through. The barbell would rest on the pins, when you are ready to squat you lift it a couple of inches off the pins, someone pulls the pins out, you do your set and the pins are then put back in to rest the bar on. Get that? What do you reckon?Grin

good to see you training despite the handicap. how did you find the pin vs the bar methods? I could never get on with the bar.

Was good to see you at the weekend mate. The hip belt squats will be much easier in a few weeks when your arm is out of the sling!! Leg extensions in Sugden though I would definitely get nailed

Milsy - thats a great idea!!! cant wait to give that a try. Could even stand on a platform, the plates will not hit that anyway and it would be stable and safe.

JC - even when arm is out of the sling, i cant move anything heavy with it for couple months Unhappy so i fear this faffing around will continue for quite some time Grin

both felt f**ked mate. How did you do the pin method? As in, to be able to get deep enough i needed to stand on a high stack of plates, but getting on the plates with the weight hanging was a pain, or to squat deep and attach the belt in the bottom position. Just couldnt get it to work. milsys idea sounds like a good one though, will try that next time and get some proper squatting done!

yesterday:

morning weigh in: 108.5kg

fast paced walk - 6 miles, 80 mins, 760 calories

I walk about 60 mins per day anyway, but that was a walk with the aim to get the heart rate up and sweat going, so it warrants logging Grin
