He looks world class statically but really far from that moving wise, I'm sure that will come up really quickly if he focusses on it

You getting that bicep looked at? Maybe by the surgeon that did the op?


No mate, NHS job. All they'll say is stop lifting heavy stuff and it will be fine. Seeing physio on Thursday again so we'll see what he says about it all.Grin

Good to see rehabs coming along Luke, conditioning looks devilish too.

I tried tyre flips in to sledge hammer at warehouse on the weekend, that was good. Didn't do it as many times as you though Happy

Hammer To Tyre:
6 sets at 30 secs on/30 secs off

Yoke:
Not as heavy as I would like to have gone
20m @ 150kg
20m @ 200kg
20m @ 250kg
20m @ 280kg
20m @ 310kg

Farmers (20m Turn at 10m)
100kg
110kg
125kg
135kg - 17m with 2 Drops
140kg - 12m with 2 drops
Right arm grip goes before left. Right side is still quite a bit weaker.

Battle Rope:
6 sets @ 45 secs on/45 secs off

Stone Over Yoke:
This was a real head f**k TBH. Right arm was hurting and throbbing and the 1st set was awful very slow and laboured. No one motioning like I was before op. Very stressful, another f**king weakness to deal with.
3 x 3 @ 105kg (Chalk Only)

Log Clean & Press:
1 x 3 @ 102.5kg - Strict Press
1 x 3 @ 122.5kg - Strict Press
1 x 3 @ 132.5kg - Push Press

Mixed bag, getting strong in the gym is easy but adapting to the events with this op arm is alot more difficult than I first thought. May take up rugby againGrin

Do you think stones without tacky is a good idea at this stage of rehab mate?

Steady does t Luke.

Is there anything in the gym that would help you slowly and carefully stress your arm so that it got use to weight? So etching like zerchers, or inverted row holds

Probably not Dave, but my tacky was like a rock and I've got to get over this fear factor. I genuinely daren't look at a tyre yet alone flip one. It was the same with this bloody stone, scared to death, every little tweak or pain. It's a really thin line to tread I know.
I could cope with the op and doing it, day in and day out, but the thought of being out for so long and being reduced to a cripple again really doesn't do it for me.

It's my brachioradiallis which is the problem, physio spent 45 mins on it on Thursday and it felt like new. Did log and stones and back to square f**king one, pain today is immense when extending the arm after short periods of being in flexion.
Need to do something in the gym for it, most definately.

We'll head up to Dave's place in a few weeks if you want, you flip his tyre, you'll flip any tyre.

Excuse my ignorance but does the brachioradiallis help with bending the arm at the elbow???

I was also wondering if you have changed your approach to stone load in the way you lift the stone of the floor??

Have you thought about the rubber band voodoo trick for your fore arm to help break up the scar tissue?

Physio thinks because my arm was kept in flexion for 4 weeks in a cast and then 3 weeks before op that the radiallis has shortened. We've spent loads of time on the bicep but not that area so that's why this is happening now.
What's that ?

The rubber band trick is ace. The way I was shown to do it was wrap a and around the arm just above the elbow as tight as you can and then bend the arm and hold for about 10 seconds then release. I also do it below the elbow. Seems to work for any elbow soreness. Also I have found stretching the wrist flexors helps with brachioradialis strain.
