 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | the stuff with the tendon is normal and expected apparently, more on that later on... JC will come with milsy if he has space in his car - otherwise will be there soon after 9. As you have probably heard, milsy doesnt have to have an early weigh in or dehydrate himself unlike some other "u105" competetors, so he might not want to get there too early  REHAB UPDATE - 6 MONTHS POST OP Saw the surgeon this morning. - The pulling sensation from the tendon is normal and expected, and will happen more in the future as the weights climb up. Its just the tendon contracting and since it is slightly shorter than it was before it will happen. Correct course of action is to bail out from what ever i was doing and do gentle stretches. - The sharp pains which i sometimes get which last just a second are just scar tissue stuff, nothing to worry about. - slight deformation of the pec muscle is here to stay. Dont bother me in the slightest, i am too fat for anyone to notice it anyway apart from myself. And even if it was visible, i wouldnt give a toss. - The tendon has athropied fair bit, it will grow back but needs work. Which means bodybuilding work. - Tendon might never return to full strength, but that only affects wide grip benching which is lower on my list of priorities than running a marathon, so no harm there. - Need to pay more attention to warm ups, so that the tendon will stretch and get ready for lifting. - Can start jerky movements (though i did already, tut tut...) but they have to be LIGHT. - Should actually pull back on many of the weights i use at the moment especially on pressing. This could work together with the need to build back the tendon size. So what i am planning to do: - pull back on the weights, especially in pressing but also with deads etc. for another 6 weeks. Gutted. - start jerks and cleans, but really light. Bail out on the first sign of trouble at least during the next 6 week period. No need to push it just yet. - up the reps with press, build back some muscle - and most importantly: get a solid shoulder warm up regime going In all, i was planning to close this rehab journal today but i will continue it for another 6 weeks. Boring but what can you do. Also, i dont think i can do comps this summer which is a downer. | ||

 technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 12.03.2009 @ 11:31 AM by JC Good to here (most things) are heading in the right direction. BB style training for the tendon, coupled with your usual stuff will probaqbly be fun, if only for 6 weeksAs you have said, wide grip bench is a bulls**t exercise anyway, so no problems there LOL The 6 weeks will fly by, then time to start preparing for a late summer comp | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Your jumping ability is whack, get a haircut, my overhead is nearly as good as yours, etc You've come a long way, check the curl weights, another month won't kill you. I was thinking you were getting a bit eager lately, step it down a gear and stop trying to keep up with me, it won't lead to good things for the time being Could have been much worse news mate look on the bright side. And the WATTBIKE is free to use! | ||

Seems like every question got an answer and you know what needs to be done. Besides, I cant train on my shoulder at all yet, so we might get back at around the same time to train for St Ives Strongest Man  BRING IT ON. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Thanks BEASTS! I think if i get a Plan together 6 weeks will fly by quickly. SUGDEN more of a social visit with wee bit of training thrown in 5 mins cross trainer warm up moves barbell row 10x70 10x70 10x90 10x100 8x110 10x115 back squats 5x50 5x80 5x100 5x110 5x115 tried good mornings high bar but i dont think there is any future on those. have to just wait till the shoulder can take it. some gun work but even that failed to inspire need to hatch a new Plan... | ||
