i hope your improving joni on a regular basis
keep doing the best you can with what you have and dont loose heart mate

i know this is not quite the same but
when i was 16 i started training and within a year i went from 10.5 stone at 6'1 to 15 stone
i loved to train, just did bodybuilding stuff but it was good to have something in my life to channel my teenage agression into in a positive fashion, it became my whole life my diet was obssesive, people where amazed at how much size i had put on, going from skinny kid to 15 stone of sloid muscle

then when i left school at the end of the year i started work as an apprentice joiner and i was sawing all day and hammering all day then going to the gym and training chest and shoulders on different days and before i knew it i had really inflamed my shoulder tendon and my muscles at the front of the shoulder where over developed in comparison to the rear delts and this caused the shoulder to hunch froward and cause great pain, everyday even to sleep on it was pure pain
and at 16 this was tough to comprehend as everything that i had based my life arround was taken away from me
whent to see doctor, he said shoulder was fine, sent me for an xray and they said it was fine and that i should just stop training
so i decided to train around my shoulder injury the best i could, as i was not going to just stop training i started training legs and evereything i could arround injury
eventually after a lot of depression i decided to quit my job and goto pyhso
the pyhso new what was wrong with me within mins
after about 9 months of hard work and pyhso i was back benching and pressing (something that i thought i would never do again) and i never looked back

so the moral of the story is this, i hold my pressing and leg power as my best strengths
i was only able to develope one through lack of chioce because of injury and the other developed after serious injury

so joni, so can you mate keep it up dont get disheartened

Why's your arm get stuck? Pain or lack of mobility?


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 going to get some funny repiles but hey what the hell!!!!

Do you have a Nintendo Wii ? Theres some games called Wii sports and Wii fit that could aid to your recovery without leaving the house!!!! You can work the core muscles on the Ski and Hula Hoop game + others, and when the arm is ready to be worked there are loads of games that could build up strength in the arm and pec tendon without the use of weights ( tennis, bowls + golf)! Bit more interesting than those crap rubber bands they give you in Rehab! Just a thought and please feel free to anihilate me for the message!!!!! Grin

By the way i Don't have a Nintendo Wii, i have a PS3 and its mind blowing in full 1080p resolution!

hehe that wouldnt be a bad idea Grin dont even have a TV though - maybe you could hoook it up to a computer screen...

robocop, cheers for that. I think that mental aspect of when training goes to s**t due an injury is neglected often, or not mentioned. Fighting hard not to get too depressed about mine, and having A Plan helps with this IMO. I have a roadmap back to recovery which keeps me sane and doesnt get me frustrated because The Plan evolves on bi-weekly basis and i can feel and see the progress almost every day.

like i could only lift my left arm about 30 degrees only 10 days ago, and now i can lift it (with slight assistance still) above my head - small but important things Grin

on wed:

dumbell work at home, some wanky things and 3x15x15kg shoulder press and CURLS with right only of course.

yesterday:

50 mins exercise bike

back extension machine up to 20x125

and two sets of CURLS!

legs jellyed, 20 min walk back home was challenging Grin

sat:

70 min powerwalk, ~700 cals.

dumbell work

shoulder press (r)
15x12
15x16
15x21

CURLS!

Sunday:

65 min power walk

some db work with wrist curls and s**t

The Plan could include starting to run some sections of the powerwalk but according to the rehab protocol, running starts only at month 3, so still almost 2 months... These do bring up the sweat and feel like a good cardio at the moment but will probably run out of their use soon.
