Steel Nation: How The Hell Do Ya Train?

LOL I just found this pic while collecting files off of my work PC (I got a new job). This was my pelvic x-ray when they brought me into the ER after the skiing accident.

(See edited pic below)

Thanks again for the compliments fellas.

SN your name is on the X-Ray

Wow. Awesome story, man. I don’t know many people who could come back mentally after that kind of injury, especially not any that could come back and be meaner and leaner! Mad Props to you on all of your accomplishments.

Here’s the pic again with my personal shit deleted. Thanks Derek (and mods), I’m a dumbass.

Be careful with that total hip replacement. They can limit what movements you are able to do, and make you more susceptible to dislocations.

Lol no worries man. I just know your real name so thought you may have missed that.

For posterior hip replacements, I know that they recommend that you don’t bend your hip beyond 90 degrees, and I have even heard of people having trouble dislocating their prosthesis standing up from a low toilet (not joking). I am no expert on the procedures though, and I am sure there is more than one way to go about doing this. I just wanted to post so you are able to ask the right questions, and make decisions that will allow you to continue with your goals.

I have yet to meet with my ortho (appointment is 7/29), but from his website he seems to be a huge fan of anterior replacements. They don’t cut through any muscle, and the risk of dislocation is supposedly much lower.

I have read the same things about posterior replacements in my cursory research of the procedure. I don’t think I would do the surgery until absolutely necessary if that was my only option.

Thanks for the info.

I’m tellin ya this kind of selfishly because you’re an animal, and I want to see what you’re gonna lift in the future. I wouldn’t want you to not be able to come back from the procedure.

Do you think you’ll ever compete in PL again?

You have to also realize that most hip replacements are in 80 year old people, who have major loss of muscle tone.

I too had osteonecrosis of the femoral head of my right leg. I was diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes when I was 6 and have been dealing with it ever since. It is truly inspiring to see someone have a physique such as yours battle a similar issue. I recently cut out deadlifts and have to squat a lot lighter than I used too because after doing them I would have trouble walking the rest of the week.

Thanks for being my motivation for the day!

No clue how I didnt see that, but after SN said it I can’t unsee it.

Highlander so needs a reboot, but done legit and Jane for sure. Easy to forget how he pulled off the comic book physique to a T with Frank Castle.

awesome thread, staying tuned in.
@Steel Im interested in seeing what your workouts look like on a day to day basis with main movements accessory work included in it. I went check your training logs but you haven’t updated them in a while. I like your training philosophy but Im wondering how you structure your accessory lifts on the bench and MP days and what your back and arms days look like. appreciate any response, awesome physique.

I wonder what the recovery will look like for this. Certainly a rare case.
