Fitting first picture |
So I'm back, and man am I glad to be back. A little back story, I had surgery to repair a hernia in my groin, while it didn't affect too much during my workouts as I had it for years, it did on the rare occasion cause pain.....and when it did it left me barely able to move. I figured time to get it removed, knowing that the next 6 weeks was going to be torture, as no weight training was permitted. As most will say, I'm a difficult patient, but I did a decent job of listening to my body, if something hurt, I simply didn't do it. I slowly got into weight training, even before the 6 week mark, but if I felt the incision in any way I stopped. Oddly back squats felt great, so my first back squat workout was 95 pounds for 3 sets of 20, I only went so high on the reps so it'd be somewhat of a challenge. My legs were agonizingly sore, and I loved it. The next few workouts were again, very low key so I didn't bother to post, the most notables were 205 back squats for 10 reps, 95 thrusters for 3 sets of 10, and some cable work. I figured I'd finally start posting my workouts again. The weights will be slow, as even though I am past the 6 week mark, that's a lot of time to take off of weights and I'm not going to assume my strength is identical. Any explosive movements, like the olympic lifts, may be on hold for a bit. I also noticed I lost some mobility, my hips were very tight, so I spent a good amount of time on mobility.
I decided to try deadlifts for the first time
Deadlifts (touch and go)
115x10
205x10
205x10
205x7
Incline DB bench Press - 3x15.....50s
Cable Row
22x10
24x10
26x10
Pushdown - 52.5x15, 15, 12
Cable Curls - 10x12, 10, 10
The deadlifts felt good, I am nervous everytime I pick up something remotely heavy now, but that's mostly because going through this again is unthinkable. I did a double overhand this time as well, so it was my grip that failed me on the last set. I can say, however, that my muscle all around my shoulder blades are very sore as I am typing this the day after. Rest of workout felt good! Feels amazing to be back!
Welcome back! Glad to see the recovery has gone well.
