660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		yesterday:

SUGDEN CENTRE

Exercise bike 5 mins

Leg press
12xhalf stack
12x3/4 stack
12xstack
one leg:
f**k, cant remember the weights, funny how if you dont have any respect for the exercise the weights just slip the mind...

Anyway, as a top did 10 with one plate higher than last time per leg Grin

leg curls
again, cant remember, 3 sets

boring me stiff, but what are you going to do.

The Plan: in one weeks time (6 weeks post op) will start doing one leg squats.

Exercise bike 30 mins

I actually enjoy cardio stuff these days, much more than the stupid machine s**t...

Bodyweight: 107kg

just squat with one leg in the air Grin f**king hard, but should get easier with practise.

heres one familiar mofo doing it with a kettlebell:

http://www.mikemahler.com/exercises%20branch/Pistol%203.jpg

i would start without weight, just to test waters and see how it goes. Cant really hold a weight anyway yet Grin

neil, yeah man, but cant really change much! The rehab protocol is pretty strict about what i can and cant do (the military rehab protocol one, the physio didnt really give proper instructions), so i better stick with that for time being. One arm deads will be added for sure, dont know when i can start doing them, will ask from the physio (who probably wont know).

one thing to add:

A classic Sugden centre moment yesterday.

Anthony The Machine was squatting, 160kg on the bar, going for his second rep. A guy walks in under the right end of the barbell and starts picking up dumbells from the floor. Ant squats down and the guy moves in even more and hits the barbell with his back. Fortunately Ant saw that in time and pulled back up immediately and didnt f**king break his back!

believe it or not, but this is a regular "feature" of the place Grin f**king nuts!

665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		Lol, that happened to me at the Sugden, also had 160k on the bar. Only trouble was I didn't see the guy and the bar bounced off his head and then fell off my back. I took it with quiet grace and dignity, didn't get angry at all. Wink

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		safe to say, Ant got a bit angry Grin So angry that the guy in question left the scene pretty f**king fast lol!

JC, if balance is bad, might be good to train that area mate! Strongman has plenty of things to do with balance, from stones to overhead.

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		havent changed, in good and in bad Wink

rehab update:

Saw the physio today again.

rehab last week has been arm raises and stretches in front and up as much as poss, first assisted, then active assisted and now some unassisted as well (not as far tho). been doing these at least 3 times/day, 3 sets of 10ish. Maybe at about 160 degrees now, 180 being the goal for next week. Also done some other shoulder, elbow and wrist mobility things.

Starting isometric shoulder strengthtening exercises now, 3 different ones, again 3ish times/day, 10 reps each.

One leg squats AKA pistols are pretty hard, I may add them back into my routine for a while.

Why are you following a military rehab protocol for pec tear though?

note that i only talk about doing them at this point, but they will be at least as useful to my training than hill sprints.

thats the most detailed protocol i found from the net with a roadmap to full strength recovery. The main reason is that i dont get totally depressed and insane during the rehab, with a roadmap its not too bad, but if i was only listening to the physio who doesnt have any idea of the longer term things i would really lose it Grin

I am ok'ing everything via the physio though. And I hope that she gets some kind of longer term plan together after I am "released" from the care of the surgeon next thursday.
