Bicep Blog - a tale of a tear, and recovery - mental and physical!

weights when you do low numbers is sweet. Also try them in a SMith Machine. feet well in front of bar, and step back with alternate feet. Can load up a bit of weight that way, is hard work even just doing 20 (10 each leg). Dumbells, you can sling them up onto your shoudlers, which stops any lean forward!<br />
<br />
but for the 300, no weight is FINE, and today my legs are shot. Quads and hamstrings and glutes. Fine so lons as I don't flex a thing! -
Was that 300 each side? Thats insane. Hows the progress with your bicep?<br />
<br />
With the leg, I am able to walk, and can handle walks most days. With working as a teller in a bank I have to be careful with how much I do before and after work because Im on my feet and up and down most of the time. The most important thing for me is to keep the pain killers up.<br />
<br />
Are you able to do squats at all? -
nah, that would be insane, it was 300 total, and that took 12 minutes at any rate. I think I would draw the line at 25 minutes of lunges....!!!<br />
<br />
Squats, yep, they are no worries. Finishing with 2 sets of 20 at the end of our current leg workout. Next one sees us supersetting 8 squats with 60 lunges....<br />
<br />
Lunges, I always thought they were a wussy girl thing. Not even ouw! -
Interesting reading this and your treatment for this one Bart. Seems you have to be a bit more careful with the bicep eh. Have done my achilles and have done a bit of reading and they are pretty aggressive with the treatment for it these days. Doc reckons back playing sport in 3 months! No weight bearing for the first four weeks (post op which needs to be done within 7-10 days of injury) then on a boot with heel wedges for another four, then four weeks of rehab.

yeah dunno he's been pretty insistent that I do NOTHING on the repair job. I go see him again Thursday for hopefully the last check up. have been adding weight to bicep curls and have ahd a few physio sessions with the physios just getting in with massage to attack the scarring more than anything.
