Triceps tendon surgery - Recovery log

[AllLoadedUp]

You're making progress man. I did some preachers with a 15lb dumbbell yesterday. Lol. My arm is getting stronger. I can DO more weight but just not pushing. Doing tris also. So hard to get a pump especially in my tricep. But I've always had a hard time getting a pump in my tris. My arm is still lagging as far as size. Definitely better than it was but still behind. Don't let it get you down too much. It WILL come back just have to accept its slow going and not rush it. Its like on the Hammer Strength Incline for chest. On my left side I'm doing 3 plates. On my right side, side with rotator surgery, I'm doing a 25lb plate. Yeh I can do more but still taking it slow. 20 rep sets.

Hey buddy
thanks alot
yeah i know, it takes time and sometimes its a mental game but we got that.
The wound / scar looks pretty good to be honest. I would have never expected that after seeing it for the first time.
I will make some new pics later.
Will have physio today, we are at 0-100° passive today and my brace is from 0-50° active ROM

right arm looks like a stick, i will also make a pic of the left/right side comparision later for the laughs
what is remarkable that my right chest is still somewhat "there". it didnt lose much size at all

J'espère que tu vas mieux.

J'ai eu un accident de travail fin août et je me suis rompu le tendon du triceps.
Opération le 4 septembre, 4 semaines après je ne portais plus d'attelle et 2 mois après j'avais retrouvé toute ma mobilité.

Je m'entraîne à nouveau le haut du corps en faisant attention à ne pas me bénir et en utilisant des poids adaptés. Je ne cherche qu'à avoir une forme parfaite et retrouver des sensations.

Le chirurgien m'a dit qu'il fallait attendre 6 mois pour une guérison biologique et qu'à partir de ce moment nous avons la possibilité de reprendre un entraînement plus intense.

hey buddy,
i am surprised how small your cut is. Probably because you had surgery pretty soon after your accident.
I am doing quite well i would say. I still can not extend by arm 100% but everything else is pretty feeling quite good.
We are working on breaking up scar tissue because this seems to hold me back to get back into full extension. I can train triceps with my arm but only extend it until around 150-160°. (180 being upper arm and lower arm in line)
what accident did you have?

yes I had surgery 6 days after the accident, probably that's why the scar is smaller.

indeed the scar tissue has an impact on the extension but despite the complete extension I have pain in the tendon when I train but it will pass.

back to the scar tissue, I have a ruptured quadriceps tendon in 2021 with 3 torn muscles (vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris) which were stitched up and this generated scar tissue which made recovery difficult.

for the accident I fell (I work on the railway tracks) and my elbow hit a steel plate which immediately ruptured the tendon (triceps) et for thé quadriceps tendon i fell off a platform
