This week has been kind of weird. Don't know if I can really call what I
did this week physical therapy. I'm looking forward to starting some
form of training. Follow was done with the ortho and he feels that I
wouldn't get any benefit from additional physical therapy sessions.
Given the go ahead to start slow. Hard to tell if the figures being used
are literal ("I'd rather you lift 10lbs 100 times then 100lbs 10
times") or just exaggeration to emphasis lighter exercising for now. He
also said no squats/deadlifts but that appears to even be the case if I
was healthy so taken with a grain of salt really. However, I fully
understand that going against medical advice would be on me. Since the
last post, this is what I have done every day since:
Morning
20 press-ups
20 nerve glides for legs, shoulders and forearms
static stretching for hamstrings, hip flexors, and quads
After Work
2 mile walk
60 press-ups
2 minutes massage on hamstrings
1 minute massage on calves
30 kettlebell sumo deadlifts (30lbs total)
20 one arm kneeling presses (15lbs)
kettlebell farmer's walk (1,000' with 15lbs a hand)
Night
10 press-ups
20 nerve glides for legs, shoulders and forearms
The
only times I didn't do this exact workout was on the first day when I
did more exercises (everything the PT was having me do) and on Tuesday
as it was raining a lot so the outside stuff was scrapped. I had planned
to do more exercises to keep in line with the PT stuff but I seemed to
have slightly strained my right oblique muscle doing one of the
abdominal drills so I cut out most everything to keep from aggravating
it. Starting tomorrow, I will be starting my training with Mr.
Westerling. The first actual workout won't be until 12/13/16 but I will
be returning to what I was doing as far as supplementation (BCCAs,
Creatine, Glucosamine and PlayAgain Now). I will probably be holding off
on weight gainer at this time and use if on weekends as I realized that
even without it, I'm eating between 4,000 and 6,000 calories a day. As
most of what I'm going to be doing is bodyweight stuff for the lower
body for the next two weeks, it doesn't make sense to up the calories
another 2,000 right now.
