might be mate, need to see how things go this week. Hip belt squats and tons of grip would be the name of the game.

15x20
15x22.5

The exercise bike sucks donkey balls. The most I've ever managed was 30 minutes, and that felt like ten hours due to sheer boredom. Stationary bikes are a metaphor for life - pedalling lke f**k, sweating your bo***cks off and getting precisely nowhere.

Tanner, its ok when i have something interesting to read. Usually been reading New Scientist, and the people around me read Hello or some other gossip mag - and they are supposed to be the students!!!

Ste, i'll tell the physio about the deads tmr Grin I did mention one arm work already and she just said "do it if it feels good, dont do it if it doesnt"...

JC, overhead is the rehab measurement number 1. When i go pass 90kg strict press i can say i am back!

SUGDEN CENTRE

exercise bike 5 mins

leg press, hammer strength
10x160
10x180
10x200
10x200

legs weak from yesterdays bike nailing.

helping Big T bag an easy deadlift PB of 190 and fooled around with some things like hammer overhead machine, and one arm deadlift (5x60, 1x100) etc, including one set of CURLS!

Leg curls
10xsome weight
10xstack
10xstack

exercise bike, tried intervals of one min heavy resistance, two light, but at 15th minute left calf cramped and bailed out. I had the heavy resistance too high anyway and was bolloxed already (thanks calf, appreciate the excuse to bail out).

Good to see the recovery continuing mate, what is your best guess timewise for a return to full fitness?

6 months post op is The Plan, that would be mid march. "Full strength" doesnt probably mean to old PBs, but anyway to something comparable. I am using the overhead press as my cauge on how i am doing. Hope to be hitting useful numbers on fronties by then, and maybe deadlifts as well.

Actually, a high time for:

REHAB UPDATE

6 weeks post-op


Saw the surgeon this morning. Everything is looking fine and the healing has been good. Mobility returning, though still maybe 10-15 degrees off the full 180 when lifting the arm overhead.

Been doing rehab stuff about 3-4 times/day, raising the arm in various ways, plus isometric exercises. Should get some new ones to do later today when i see the physio.

New things i can start doing:

1. and most important: NO MORE SLING! Very happy to be sling free, though i could see immediately how people dont give way suddenly as they used to Grin

2. can start driving again

3. tensing the pec is ok now, but not pressing with the recovering arm in leg press etc. Just need to keep the arm against my chest, but can start doing grinders. One arm deads are ok, heavier leg press is ok, anything not involving the upper body and the recovering arm is ok.

4. can start introducing running. Easy does it, will start doing some interval stuff on the treadmill soon and increase the amount i run slowly.

5. No weights with the recovering arm yet, prognosis is that i can start doing barbell work overhead and stuff at 3 months, so 6 more weeks to go. I can live with that, piece of piss, and already looking forward to a really difficult 20kg overhead press Grin

Good news about the recovery, things seem to be coming along nicely.

Could you maybe work on some heavier 1 arm DB press (as this used to be a weak event for you)?

Good that you've got the go ahead to nail heavy 1 arm deads and so on.

Running can be introduced - good news, time to start the hill sprints Wink

hey mofos!

milsy yeah, should start a routine of sorts with the 1 arm db press Grin i've only ever pressed 50kg so that should really be improved. With a bit of tech work to get the jerk going 55 should be owned. I'll start slow increase of weight and a bit of leg drive soon.

Same with one arm deads!

Running Plan is to nail 10k by starting with a walk on treadmill with occasional spouts of short runs and keep on increasing the portion of running, until i can run the whole 10k. And then challenge Boar for a 10k run and get owned. Hill sprints will be talked about once a week.

shawn, will skip the dungeon trip this weekend mate - will be visiting that new gym in manchester on saturday to check things out. Weekend after for sure!
