Oh OK mate, probably more faffing round needed then!! You coming down the dungeon wheneva possible now mate? 
yeah i would like to - i can start driving again in few weeks time as well, so it would be easier to get over.

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!

I got 4 breeze blocks (2 for each foot) and put them in front of the rack where the chin up handles are. connected to the pin and then held on to the handles and pulled/pushed myself up into position on the blocks. if you use blocks make sure theyre wide enough apart though or the plates can knock into them. I tried lots of different setups with the belt and this was the best one I found.
good luck with the rehab Joni - patience with not overdoing it seems to be the hardest thing for me atm 
thanks LGB 
will - i'll give that milsys way a go and see how that goes, doesnt sound like your way would be easy with just one arm...

Some nice leg work mate, and the cardio will do you a world of good.
Do you plan to try to get back upto 115KG when fit, or stay on the leaner side

Well, The Plan is based on the idea of "cant get stronger, so lets get fitter and leaner" - and The Plan, part II is based on lean gains, so i guess i will stay sub 110 for time being.
But then again, bulking is fun...

Good to see your'e back in training again Joni.Be patient and nature will work it's magic.You might end up with a full 6 pack once ab training is resumed.Just don't start covering yourself in oil mate
.Best of luck with the rehab! 
Why's your arm get stuck? Pain or lack of mobility?
Chin up bull, good to see you haven't just stopped training.

cheers guys!
And good to see you popping by Mick - are your niggles gone by now?
no its because the tendon attachment is just growing back so its very fragile. One wrong jerky move and it comes off. 6 weeks minimum for it to grow back and then starts slow mobility and strenghtening work.

I KNOW THIS IS A BIT LATE BUT I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR REHAB. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ EVERYTHING SOUNDS POSITIVE.
Cheers Neil!
