INJURY UPDATE:
ok so i went to my doc yesterday....its tissue damage.....i start physio-therapy from today and its gonna take 6 weeks before i am at my 100%.... i am however allowed to swim a bit and i started doing that yesterday (i used to be a swimmer before judo and squash).... my ROM has improved greatly in the last 2 days, but there's a little weakness still present.... i hope everything gets alright soon.. btw: i think in a few weeks, i am gonna be allowed to lift weights again...and i plan on doing Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength for Beginners program all over again till i regain all my strength.....of course that means i will start the program by deadlifting 10 kgs lol.... lets see what happens Anuj |
Hmmm, I don't think lifting in the heavy 5 RM is going to help your rehab after you're done healing. More to the point, just because the first week of P.T. doesn't have you lifting heavy weights doesn't mean it's shit neither. I see everyone on bb.com doing Rippetoe's program, as well they all should, but you cannot confuse always hitting PR's with lifting 60% of your max..
Might as well repost what I put up in your IM journal: Quote:
Sorry to hear you got injured.:arg: Take it from me, mind games start to play with you in the mirror. My advice is to focus on nutrition, stay active (such as walking) to stimulate blood flow, and don't look in the mirror. You shouldn't lose very much, and whatever you do, muscle memory is a wonderful thing. I took two months off of any chest pressing after my light tear, and it didn't take long to gain it all back. Take it as a learning experience..More warming up, eating more of the right things, and dropping the weights down and concentrating on perfect form. If you have any questions pm me. When the time is right, and you're just about healed, I'll be happy to give you a spreadsheet of the workouts I used to get back into it..Full body HST. :weights: I know how you are..DON'T PUSH IT! Grab some r & r.... |

once again: thank you 0311....i really appreciate your input.... but i just want to clarify this with you once: is this what you feel i should do: 1.) get the ok from my physio-therapist 2.) pm you about HST 3.) start the recovery HST program 4.) heal 100% 5.) start pendulum again also, do you feel i cant do any particular exercises ever again...? i mean, is it like i cannot strain myself on the bench press ever again...? i would ask my doc, but i am meeting him next monday, and i want to know for now... oh, and if its not good for me to bench heavy, then lets say in the future i decide to do 5x5, then how would i handle not having the bench press...? infact, why only 5x5: how will i handle not doing bench press period..? i mean, not mentally, but is there some kind of substitute exercise there...? thanks again 0311 Anuj |
