Well when I couldn't lift due to covid lockdowns I just kinda sat at home got real small in areas you wanna be big and real fat. Went up to 270lbs and wasn't even on trt to give myself a break. But recently got back in it and so far down 20lbs back to 250.
AnonHad hernia surgery -xiphoid process area - close to 8 years ago. 2nd time was the charm, as they meshed and sewed mesh and muscle to rib cage. Little pop out, under pressure, but holding strong. You'll get there.
So you did hernia repair twice?? Or did I get something wrong..
AnonYes.
First surgeon half assed it. Laid mesh in, sewed it down....right over diaphragm (high pressure area.) Second doc got out the drill and involved rib cage, muscle, mesh...the whole 9.
You may ask any recourse with the first doc? Hell no. "Happens" was the consensus. Ha
Had both elbows done Nov. Just getting back at it. Ran the range of emotions. Just getting my head back to normal.
Sounds like you have been to Hell & back. How do you manage not to be able to train properly for that long, or is it just a case of you have no choice and you have to get use to it?
AnonJust like you do, brother...drive through.
Im in a 28 degree garage, wrapped and working, a month ahead of doctors orders.
Fuck limits. Live for today, you may not get tomorrow.
Luckily I own a gym
Lol good for you..
Check out lupin on netflix and barbaren WE ARE GERMANIAS !!!
I will give it a look buddy thanks
Cutting fire wood and building fences lately. I always have projects to keep me busy.
That's what I used to do before surgery, I can't atm :(
When I’m injured or the weather is horrible I go tinker with stuff in the shop. Always something to do in the shop. I picked up a box full of old cast iron elephant piggy banks for nothing. My wife and I slowly restore them. Find a project you can get into.
Very nice way to pass your time brother indeed, I started today painting an old warehouse near my house and time past super fast!!
AnonCreep back into it brother. Sit there on your ass and use a light dumbbell to do dumbbell tricep extensions. Or sit in a chair or use the arm rest of the couch to do dumbbell bicep curls. There IS stuff you can do that won't activate your core.
Did they put the mesh in for your surgery?
Yeah as Sam said I got mesh, iam not in pain or anything but the doc scared the shit out of me, don't do this don't do that lol
My friends went to the old school traditional docs for their hernia surgeries as well and were told the same. I had 2 different repairs from sports doc that does professional athletes. When I asked when I could resume actives he said “whenever you feel up to it”. I questioned if I would hurt something and his response “if you feel pain stop”. Both times I was back at the gym within a week doing light activities and I felt great by end of week 2.
I agree with them lol I am not in pain at all, but in my case witch is a mesh involved I believe they put me back cause they can't actually se if the mesh stitches are OK. Anyway IL give it another week and I start with some light weight
Yeah. I had the mesh both times too.
On different sites or the first gone wrong? must ve been awful brother..
Left side and right side. The second popped out a few years after the first. Wasn’t bad. Much better than living with it.
Damn bro, yeah I totally agree with much better living without it. In my case I couldn't even wear a descent shirt, t shirt, with that thing popped lol
That’s what I did. Just isolation exercises.
If he’s careful he will be fine.
He did get mesh, I didn’t but mine was gallbladder and hernia.
Yeah Samy I wil give it one more week and then I go your way with super super light weight!!
When I broke my foot back in 2018(16 weeks no weight), I took the kids to school, did pullups and pushups at home, watched the price is right, took a nap, ate lunch, watched Thor Ragnarock, then picked the kids up from school. This was damn near everyday. I'm not joking.
Damn bro 16 week is a torture that's for sure
Pornhub...
Check out Gabbie Carter.
Just did she's a unit broskiiii
I will do that right now.
This is not the first time he has mentioned her name. If I remember correctly, I looked her up several months ago.
Who mentioned her? Sam? Lol
I do believe it was sam.
Not sure what the weather looks like where you’re at brother but I would be keeping my steps up, walking a lot. My choice is to be outdoors and hiking. As long as you’re pacing slow and not increasing infra abdominal pressure you will be good.
Yeah iam doing some walking like 4-5 km a day, hated it tbh but it helps!!
RustyhookerIm sure youll be so itchy to lift that youll lean out quickly. 40 days will be perfect timing to start a nice cutter anyways. Heal up!
Been binge watching walking dead and ps4 COD. Just downloading cold war. Damn screen says 20hrs left...ugh! Works been hectic so that helps.
You bet, I think I might snap something when I go back to heavy lift again lol, thanks homie
I feel for you Pal - I REALLY do. I've been doing blocks of 3 to 4 days at a time of rest to deal with my 2 injuries over the last 2 months and man its Depressing, Boring & Tedious & generally shit! Lol I was intent on doing a full week off but I was going round the F'kin bend and gave in LMAO Things I have found that help a bad situation are go for a 30 minute walk everyday, to the shops or just in general to keep the appetite reasonable and feel better with the fresh air. Go for a 1 to 2 hour drive if you have a car and love driving like I do :-) Have a Wank or get the Sex Doll out. Try stay off Youtube as it will just make you want to train and HATE everyone on there who is hitting PR's!!! Watch 1 film per day but no more otherwise it will lose its novelty factor. Do an hour of house cleaning to make yourself feel more positive when you are in it. Try keep up with a protein drink a day even though you are less likely to want to even look at it, it definitely still helps keep muscle. Keep coming on here and talking with others. Maybe try doing some band work if you are allowed to.
You definitely feel me buddy especially with YouTube videos iam out. Iam doing some walking 4-5 km a day hate it but it helps especially with my mind lol, as far as diet goes I still consume at least 200 grams of protein a day, but I eat a lot of shit as well! I give 1 more week and start with some bands and as Sam says with super lightweight dumbbells ffs
My thoughts on this is. Enjoy the time of you getting fat. Just make sure your nutrition for injury is upto the point :))
It's descent protein wize but I eat a lot of crap in between lol
I smoke some marijuana and get freaky with the wife... and there is a lot of truth in that statement!! ;)
I probably burn more calories this way than at the gym!
Nice !
I typically chew tobacco and hit gabbie carter mentally on pornhub. Not quite the same is it.
I second that, but can't find any descent one atm hahaha
I know a rustyhooker if your desperate
Damn bro hahaha
Fat girls need love to bro. : )
Yes sir they do lol
Netflix gets old and boring. Not mention how fucking nutty I'd get from isolation! I'd probably try doing some art painting type stuff, not no bob Ross, but some crazy hand wavy shit.. lol. Get well soon brother and dont lose urself at the bottom of a potato chip bag..
Yeah Netflix is boring, but instead of looking on YouTube bb videos and get even more crazy about my current situation, is a bit better! Can't watch TV cause every single channel is on about covid shit..
Thanks brother, and iam already half way lost on a potato chip bag hahaha
Edit and I can't go Bob Ross iam missing the hair lol
