Back at it. Been nursing a busticated groin and shoulder. Hurt the groin playing soccer and the shoulder from poor posture I believe…visited physical therapist for about 6 weeks…maybe 3…not sure…anyway…helped some…going to spend about a month lifting light and then try to get back to the 5/3/1 program.
Here’s last week’s “work-outs”. In addition I’m riding my bike for about 15 minutes every day, but Sunday and doing the exercises the physical therapist had me doing.
10/7
Military Press 45105
Pull-ups 35
Straight Bar Curls 4510*3
10/8
Deadlifts 135103
Good Mornings 45105
Calf Raises 45*25
If there is one thing I have learned it is this “Follow the doctors orders” that is unless you get bored, forget or otherwise feel like ignoring him. Welcome back and good luck with the rehab.

Word!
I don’t mind following his orders…just don’t feel like going to Physical Therapy anymore and paying $25 co-pay everytime to have him touch my shoulder and groin for like 10 minutes then send me to the stationary bike for 7 minutes…then 15 minutes of ‘exercises’ I can do at home followed by 15 minutes of heating pad on my shoulder and ice on my groin…what a racket…no offense to any PT providers that are good at it.
$25 for someone to touch your groin is actually a pretty good deal. Is he not using enough lotion?
Good luck with the rehab! Once you get the exercises down you should be done with the PT anyway…if he isn’t progressing and your just doing the same stuff over and over then there is no reason to keep paying when you can do it at home.

He’s being coy…just a slight brush of the back of his hand with a little eye-contact asking if that feels oka…in all seiousness it’s kinda creepy…guy is like late 20s and a real nice guy…dark…tall…handsome…soft hands…but there’s something I just can’t put my finger on that makes me uncomfortable…wait…

There is like no lift that isn’t affected by your injuries, is there? Push through. You’ll get it back.[/quote]
I could probably be pushing it a little harder…my shoulder doesn’t actually hurt while I’m lifting…it’s mainly laying down to sleep, waking up and getting dressed when it’s pretty agonizing…feeling much better…the groin is shaping up well also…I’m planning to keep adding 10 pounds to each main lift for a few more weeks while focusing on getting rid of my pain…
