Welcome back mate

Good to see you back!

How's the training going after this procedure? Made any adjustments in your training because of this? I had C4-C6 done last year.

Hope you make a full recovery!

Hey Brick,

Good to see you,

Right now my back feels ok, but Im really just testing the water. So training is medium light and cautious, but my prognosis is very good. When i do go heavier; I already know squats, deads, and barbell rows will have to be kept lighter.

How is your training since your surgery?

Good to see you back matey. My back is bad too... I am being strict as if I don't I will just get injured again. All I do are pullups, incline bench db rows and various machines. No deadlifts, barbell/db row without bench support, squats etc. I suggest you do the same for awhile as imo it is better being able to still train hard with some limitations then to not be able to train at all. Goodluck with your rehab

Well, if you are like me, I was just happy as hell to be back in the gym.

Training is going very well despite two bad rotators. It was a cautious, slow road back, but I feel great, no issues from that now and I have fully recovered. I have made some modifications in my training to keep my neck in a more neutral position at the advice of my PT

I feel after something like this, I have a LOT more form awareness. You learn how to work the muscle hard without sacrificing form or using momentum, etc., putting the joints into compromised positions.

Keep doing what you are doing and you will get there.

What I'm about to tell you is the honest to god truth...I was going to make a thread asking if anybody knew where you were!! I was just thinking about some old school mma stuff...Oleg Taktarov popped into my head and then I started thinking about the fact that you fought him!! Anyway, I'm glad you're back!! Best of luck on the road to recovery!!
