TweetSo I got Cleared for work yesterday afternoon but there was a tornado warning and then I ended up with a flat tire. Luckily it was just a nail. But then by the time it was finished I had a fever and chills and killer headache come back for the third afternoon and night. So I think God was telling me to rest a few more days. I got some relief today but I'm still home taking it easy.

But in my truly stubborn fashion I'm sure I'm up and down way more than I should be. Doc wanted me out of work with no physical activity for six weeks. I told him I had taken off from the 17th-27th but I could extend it another week and go back on July 5th. He doesn't want me lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk during the six weeks. Starting at two weeks prior to my surgery I had dropped to just one cc test and one cc deck to go into the surgery with just enough in me to keep from falling apart.

Don't under estimate a hernia. Take it real easy man and get well soon!

TweetYesterday was my first day back to training and work. Workout was pathetic to say the least and the amount of strength lost in a month is mind boggling. There was no need to worry about what my abs could handle because my chest was weak as shit. I worked a 8hr day and carrying my 45lb tool bag was fine but I probably would go much more. Time to just grind it out to the best of my ability and wait for things to start moving in the right direction. Today will be back and traps.

give it a couple of weeks man and you will be back to full tilt again. dont push it to quickly though haha. steady wins the race every time

TweetYesterday was back traps and cardio. Did hammer strength reverse grip pull downs(ended up with two sets reverse and two parallel grip), seated dual cable rows, back wntension machine(didn't really like but was being cautious), seated calf machine. This workout went a little better but I am still weak. Ended up chatting with a friend and wound up with 45min of LISS cardio post workout. Legs are hurting from the cardio. Today will be arms, calves and cardio

TweetBecareful brother hope ur 100% soon freind

TweetThank you mm. I am still being very mindful of the surgery and still mostly using machines so that my core is stable. Arm workout was ok and everyone says I don't look any different and many seem annoyed but I try to explain that when you've acquired mass over the course of 22yrs it doesn't just disappear without a very long time of non use and poor diet. One month really isn't that long compared to 22yrs. I missed calves and cardio because I forgot I had an early am conference call so I'll have to make it up tomorrow.

It's funny how each day gets a little better than the last. The key is getting that muscle to wake up and flooded with nutrients again. Despite I well planned out idea of increasing minute amounts each week I changed the plan to Ed shots rotating 1/2omna/tren e and next day 1/2sust/mast e. I didnt plan on using both sust and omnadren but the amps were supposed to go to a friend who flaked literally one day into the sust. Still kept the orals at 25mg var and 30mg tbol. I will increase them next week. Trying to hold off on throwing the slin in till I get close to 100% training back but I see that coming in by next weekend if I hold out that long.
