12 weeks post op. Fuzzy camera pics.

I'll have to take one of the actual injury tomorrow. Looks great (considering) Arm pic, weight was around 272-274ish. The stomach pic is today at 266. I dropped after starting work with a friend's hardwood flooring business.

Today in the logbook I managed 145 on EZ curl barbell curls for 6+3+2. Seated hammers 70's for 10+6+5. Triceps exercises are still tricky. Limited to mostly cable stuff. Wide upright BB/DB rows and machine raises are it for shoulders.

For chest I'm working with 50-60lbs on a machine incline press and a flat press. I'm just moving the muscle. Nothing to irritate the injury. It was recommended by the PT.

Brad- I started training whatever I could ASAP. My PT's rule is "if it hurts, don't do it. If it doesn't hurt, go for it." Obviously still can't do chest of shoulder presses yet.

jalsmiley- I'm lifting as heavy as possible for everything that doesn't involve my pec injury. I avoid some exercises because you'd be surprised at how each muscle pulls a little bit on the other. BB curls are a no-no right now... but EZ Curls are okay.

Forearms? Haven't done ANY forearm work since I was 18 or so. I even use straps on my first warm up set for all pulling movements.
