Mr I - The Comeback!

[Mr I]

Just eat as I feel now, two or three times a day. Soon as I start my swimming it will pick up I'm sure.

Would is probably about five days off healing at the skin at which point I'll swim

PT starts next week hopefully with clearance to excercise! I'm back

[Bouncer]

"you'll need another 6 months off Albert I'm sorry". :D

I'd end up in the fucken Looney Bin.

[Mr I]

Haha for sure no rushing, can't afford to any more, the old battleship has taken some hammer

[Mr I]

OK here we go kids - the training comeback!!!

3 weeks to the day tomorrow since discectomy, Rules:

1) no compression or sheer force or torquing for at least two months but more like three.
2) Still got drop foot so need to beware of instability

Plan of attack; real light to begin, mix and match

Day 1) chest and shoulders, chest, side laterals and rear on machine.

Day 2) back - pull downs, chest pad support T bar, close grip pull downs, hammer chest support rows. Arms, machine for biceps

Day 3) legs; leg press to 90 just like 4 plates aside, ham curls, seated calf.

Cardio after each, try stationary bike as supposed to be good for drop foot and steady

Just saw this thread. Get well soon!!! Also higher vitamin c intake is hard on the kidneys from a study I recall reading.

Thank you

I actually wonder whether I should have, could have had this op sooner.

Noted on the amounts of vits, in parallel I'm off diazepam, off tramadol as of yesterday and looking to stop the gabupentin (anti spasmodic) since today

[Mr I]

First workout in the bag!!

Shaking while pressing, no endurance because very little glycogen retention but it's done.

The next two to three months is all about getting everything moving again and mobility while avoiding compression and torque excercises.

I've convinced one of my pals to get involved which I know sounds crazy coming from me but he's a nerd like me and will be helping pt me for a couple months as a pre hypertrophy phase.

I won't post every workout just stuff that may be vaguely interesting, as a log and for someone who may encounter the same issue I had and be looking to see what others did to get back.

[Mr I]

Tommorrow workout: Back and arms;

Lat pull downs - strict no lean light
Hammer pull down chest supported
Hammer rows chest supported
Chest supported t bar

Arms: machine preacher then cable pushdown

That's it apart from some ab work and stationary bike

See I'm eliminating any torque/sheer force against my lower back

In weeks to come ill add light low cable row
