Title: Surgery and muscle loss
Post by: BayGBM on July 01, 2009, 01:08:08 PM: Anyone here had surgery (of any kind including oral)? How long were you laid up? How soon could you work out again? Did you lose a lot of muscle mass? ???

i had a knee surgery in 2001.

the muscle loss depends mostly on the kind of surgery, when they have to cut through muscle tissue, a lot of the tissue dies very quick because it gets no blood anymore.

if you can't move the muscle after surgery, it will atrophy even more.

Post by: just_a_pilgrim on July 02, 2009, 05:52:45 AM: I tore my pec many years ago.

I tore it at the end of uni for the year. So i had 6 weeks of no upper body training and then 6 weeks of very limited upper body training (deadlifts and some back, arms, shoulders and very light chest).

When i went back to uni everyone said i had blown up. Had put on some fat but not a lot.

Rest does you good ;). The body doesn't need much to break it down.
