As some of you know I ruptured my right pectoral March 21, 2006 doing flat barbell bench press. 7 weeks later on May 9, 2006 I had surgery. The ortho doc repaired 80 percent of the muscle back to the tendon. The other 20 percent was too scarred down and he couldn't repair it. He said it didn't matter, all you need is 50 percent reattached for a complete recovery. How does this timeline for recovery look? I'm 26 years old 6' 230 and I will not be taking ANY HGH or AAS.
1) Tues. March-21-06 I completely tore my pectoral muscle bench pressing
2) Tues. May-09-06 (7 weeks after injury) I had surgery to repair the torn muscle
3) Mon. May-22-06 I started physical therapy.
4) Mon. July-31-06 stop physical therapy. Start weightlifting. START WITH VERY VERY EXTREMELY LIGHT WEIGHT. Do all exercises 3 sets reps of 16,14,12 increasing weight each set.
5) Mon. Sept-11-06 do all exercises 3 sets reps of 14,12,10 increasing weight each set.
6) Mon. Oct-23-06 do all auxiallary exercises 3 sets reps of 14,12,10 increasing weight each set. And do all compound exercises 3 sets reps of 12,10,8 increasing weight each set.
7) Mon. December-04-06 do all auxiallary exercises 3 sets reps of 14,12,10 or 12,10,8 (depending on exercise) increasing weight each set. And do all compound exercises 3 sets reps of 10,8,6 increasing weight each set. Do this for 18 weeks.
8) Mon. April-09-06 (will be 11 months since my surgery) do all auxiallary exercises 3 sets reps of 14,12,10 or 12,10,8 (depending on exercise) increasing weight each set. And do all compound exercises 3 sets reps of 10,8,6 increasing weight each set. From this point on the last set of all my exercises will be to absolute failure (should usually reach desired number of reps I listed). Do this for 10 weeks.
9) Mon. June-18-06 can start boxing training. I will train by myself without my boxing trainer (just to get back into the swing of things). I will do this for 6 weeks.
10) Mon. July-30-07 can start boxing training with my trainer. (At this point I will start my SERIOUS boxing training).
11) Mon. Sept-10-07 can start sparring and preparing for a fight.
12) By Oct. of 2007 (will be 1 year and 5 months since my surgery) I plan to have my first amateur boxing match in YEARS.
What do you guys think?
