the slow road to recovery....

It is. That's why I do back/shoulders on Tuesday and chest/arms on Thursday. Less competition for the benches. Spin this morning for me.

New PR on bench this morning, 230. Almost missed it, got a little outside my path, but was able to recover. Followed that up with arms, doing 21s and dips. Good stuff.

I am a weak, pathetic unicorn. Almost cried at how little I was able to do on legs today. Played it safe; but still ... just pathetic.

well at least you can say you're magical

I have no excuse...had PT last night and didn't have the energy to hit the gym. If anything I can say I was on the elliptical for 10 min.

Good weight their brother. Keep pushing it.

Congrats on the PR, Pete.

Hoping my return to the iron will come early next week.

Beat up on legs today. Leg workouts put a smile on my face

Thanks guys. Good luck Tom. You going to do PT, or just do your own recovery?

Spin this morning for me. I hate leaving class early. Just wish they would schedule them to start at 5:30 instead of 5:45...

Dokk I had to tell some people that actually care. I have no suitable audience for leg workout talk around here. You'll get back to it soon

The Professor · 05-14-2010, 09:05 AM

I tried yesterday -- machines only. I used to rep 405 deadlifts for fun. I could only hit like 65 (one leg at a time) on laying leg curls for 10.

Also, my right leg is definitely weaker than my left -- probably a 20-30% difference, especially noticeable working the quads (which were effected by the nerve damage). I'm sure it's just psychological, but I swear the muscles in the right leg have visibly atrophied from the nerve damage.

You're right, though ... I'll get back soonish. hopefully things will be good in a month and I can slowly start using free weights again.

Take it slow Dokk...don't want any re-injuring if possible...

My PT will consist of me lifting Volkwagons, Pete...I will just try not to drop it.

Take your time brother. Don't push it.

You can drop it, just don't drop it on yourself. Make sure it hits someone else next time

Dead, squats and hanging leg raises for me today. Nothing special, just grinding it out. I've been neglecting my squats and deads of late, need to remedy that.

I will keep that in mind, Pete!

Hoping the doctor releases me to return to the gym later this week.

Ender · 05-17-2010, 07:47 AM

I skipped leg day this week. I feel pretty guilty especially because my legs are so little. Christos already gave me grief this weekend. I'll have to make it up somewhere this week.

icehog3 · 05-17-2010, 10:14 AM

Doc cleared me to return to the gym and the ice next week.
