12 months of Rehabilitation
« on: May 25, 2012, 11:37:08 AM »
It's been a very long time away from getbig and bodybuilding and working out routinely. A diet has become my last thought in my day and drugs went from steroids to narcotics.....In August of 2011 I tore my left rear labrum in my shoulder.....I spent 6 weeks in a sling and 8 weeks in rehab......3 weeks after I was cleared to train again in the gym I woke up partially paralyzed from 4 herniated discs that were crushing my spinal cord.

Feb 28th 2012 I went in for surgery (discectomy and fusion of c4 thru c7) I currently have 4 new discs and a titanium plate with 4 screws holding my spine in place. I am currently 3 months post op and working on getting use of my muscles again with hopes one day of being able to use free weights again like I have in the past....

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to pay attention to your body after losing the past 12 months with major injuries that forced me to stop working out and eating right.....I am hoping by september 2012 to be back in the gym full time and getting back to a comfortable 230lbs.....I was at a bloated 265 when I got hurt and today am around 205.

I am going to try to attach a few before and afters FLAME AWAY

are the last two pics you now? first one looks a lot better than the last...you don't look like total shit there, just crappy


and you seriously need to give up any dreams of ever being super jacked and huge, you don't have the horses.

Not flaming you, but you should just lift to stay in shape and be lean and healthy, you're never gonna look like a freak, muscle bellies and shape aren't there

yea, it is very important in bodybuilding whatever you do train HEAVY. Heavy squats and dead lifts will help you alot. dont be a pussy. weight on the bar means mass on your bones and glory for iron ::) ::) ::) ??? ???

that's what i thought. Good luck. I got fucked up real bad ten years ago and was in and out of the hospital for a year...I know how it feels when you CAN"T train, never mind that you don't want to

Like i just said...concentrate on getting lean and healthy. BBing "glory" is not in your cards, no insult

Wake up like I did in November partially paralyzed and realize how many small things flash before your eyes that you took for granted.....from november til the end of february I had no use of the first 3 fingers on my right hand and I am right handed.....I now have full use of my body but at limited use....I am still not allowed to lift heavy and the new materials in my spine cause constant discomfort
