JoeGood Gets Better - Rehab & Progress

Long story short.

Was fat 5’ 11"- 295lbs

Now not 5’ 11"- 165.

Six weks out from inguial hernia surgery and rehabing a bad case of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.

That aside its fainally time to add some size after dropping fat for what seems like forever. We’ll see how much I can add at 41.

Lift M-W-F

Run Tue-Thurs

Routine Doggcrapp inspired…

rp= rest paused, ss= straight set

Todays:

HS Incline Press 250lbs 10,6,4 rp

BB Shrugs 225lbs 10,8,6 rp

OH Rope Press 70lbs 12,10,8 rp

HS High Row 100lbs/side 8,4,2 rp

Ghetto t-bar rows 145lbs 10 ss

All sets include DC stretches and static holds.

Time to see just how big 41 can get.

good luck with the recovery. had my own hernia surgery about a year and a half ago. area remained tender for longer than i thought. doing squats again now.

Congratulations on dropping the weight.

I think at 41 you still have much potential left.

Great going on the weight lose. At 41 you can still make alot of gains.

Thanks guys, its an odd feeling to be upping my calories at this point but its better than droping them.

Today: 5.86 mile run 60 minutes.

WOW…that’s terrific! Welcome

6 mile run a month and a half after surgery. no way i could have done that - i think i got butchered.

Yeah dude you might have, sorry to hear it.

Pinwheel Curls 8,5,4 rp
Standing Calf Raises 235lbs 14 ss
SLDL’s 135lbs 8 ss
Leg Press 400lbs x 6, 220lbs x 20

Took it a bit easy on the SLDL’s, not really wanting to split my newly installed mesh so soon after surgery.
