Hope you guys donāt mind the tag
So Iāve got four weeks with minimal loading of the core following a fairly simple surgery affecting abdominals. Following this, Iām planning on adding two weeks to build up some volume on my abs and lower back.
My plan is to do the low intensity, medium volume deload from 531/JM in the first week and then the high intensity/7th week deload from forever to test where my strength is at. From there Iāll adjust TMs as needed and restart this wave of Juggernaut.
Does that sound reasonably intelligent, guys?
Reasonably intelligent post surgical training isnāt something I can speak to, as I always do things stupidly. Havenāt tried any of those approaches specifically to be able to vouch for them. Sorry to not have much help here.

All good, thanks for replying!
I have no experience coming off surgery so Iām hesitant to really say yes or no. It sounds sensible enough, so I guess as long as youāre careful it should be OK.

Fair enough, Iām mostly just checking if what I proposed is a good way to re-introduce volume and barbell lifts.
Itās as good as any in that case I suppose.

Double check with your surgeon or whichever health professional is your point of contact lest your guts explode out lel.

So yeah todayās training was pretty awful. Most of it was spent figuring out what I can/canāt do and weights. Not too fussed recording it since it was just a feeler session.

Probably should update my log. Ugh.
Iām starting to figure out a good set-up, as well as movements that work well. So far Iāve hit some rep prās on dumbbell presses, and Iām running out of bands to do TKEs with, so I guess things are going alright.
PS: the boys are fine

Update:
Recovery is going well, but Iām time poor as f*ck putting in 3-4 hours of UMAT prep a day, on top of school. Going to switch the JM plan to two days a week, with some loaded conditioning to try and keep the muscle on. Planās going to look like:
Monday:
- Squat, JM
- Bench, 531 (min reps)
- 8x8 Incline DB Press
- 8x8 Incline Rows
- 8x8 Goblet Squats
- Abs Circuit (3 sets, 3 exercises)
Wednesday:
- 10-15 minutes Alactic Capacity (EMOMs, Heavy Carries, 5-10 sec treadmill sprints)
- 15-20 minutes Lactic Capacity (bike, complex, rower, long carries)
Friday:
- Press, JM
- Deadlift, 531 (min reps)
- 8x8 Dips (6x6 if required)
- 8x8 Chins (6x6 if required)
- 8x8 GHRās
- Abs circuit (3 sets, 3 exercises
Saturday:
- Long walk or medium jog
Week after itās JM for bench press and DL, and 531 for the squat and press.
Another 80 days of UMAT, from there roughly 2 months to QCS. After that I should be able to relax a bit since my externals will be out of the way.
Wow do I love Grade 12
Well at least recovery is going good. Fuck 4 hours of study!
I second this
And triple this
this. 
Just kidding mate, how are things going for you?I
Im lucky. I only have to study for 1 hour lol!
Pretty decent apart from failing my learners test. I got 21/30 and i should have gotten them months agoš
Iāll get it next time though 
How bro???
I mainly got caught up on the who gives way at the intersection questions.
Some were stupid though, like the ones where it asked if car A can overtake on a corner.
Car A was on the corner about to turn, car B was a bit further ahead on the road car A was about to turn onto. The question asked āCan Car A overtake Car B.ā
I picked no because itās common sense not to try overtake while youāre turning around the corner. The answer was yes because there were broken lines and it is legal to overtake on broken lines.
At least i know for next time though. Iām confident iāll pass my next test attempt.
Fair enough, good luck mate
