osteo gave me a bollocking for not doing enough mobility and stretching work. Also, absolutely hammered in the massage, very painful, but certainly made a difference.

a bit of a rehab update is in order since i saw the physio on monday:

REHAB UPDATE - 4 MONTHS POST OP

According to the physio everything is going great. Slight problems with how the shoulders operate, got some wanky exercises to fix that.

Also, the left pec is significantly weaker than the right and has a funny lump in it. I dont mind the lump, but the strength difference is huge. So i need to start doing a bit of horizontal plane pressing and some flies type of movements.

Other than that, just keep on doing what i am doing apparently Grin

Today:

gave my back a rest and did all kinds of other more or less useless exercises. Turned out to be a fully fledged bodybuilding session!

Joni, got 3 hours sleep last nite! Woke up at 3.30am with muscle spasms in my neck, it took me 10 mins to get out of bed! Rung my local chiropractors and managed to get in first thing. I got diagnosed with an herniated disc in my neck which is putting pressure on the nerves, and the spasms are due to the muscles protecting the nerves from being trapped. Started treatment on the movable table and doing the 'ICE' treatment at home. Should be back training late next week, so thats good news! Grin Hope your ok too big man!


f**k! I hope herniated disk in the neck sounds worse than it is!

All the best mate!

Maybe cable crossovers would be better than flies for the continuous muscle tension? Squeeeze the pecs! Grin
