Shoulder had been almost back to normal.... then yesterday I was doing a first rep with 135 and felt something pop. FUCK! Now I'm back to where I started, maybe worse. I'm taking 3-4 weeks off. Fuck it.

Between your shoulder, and my back acting up I'm thinking a long vacation is in order.

Definitely taking some time off, 4 weeks or so. I'm down to 184 lbs and lean as hell. I re-introduced carbs and I'm still dropping weight. Need to increase my calories.

You just don't know how close you are with that statement

!!! But mostly in my bed.....

Posted by: omerta2010

Dude your college football team is a wreck. Hope they don't get suspended from bowl games and scholarships like USC did.

Sounds like things are going good for ya.

Posted by: juggernaut

JD, how are you introducing carbs into the diet again?

Posted by: omerta2010

JD says "why hello there bread" and eats it.

JD, hope things are going great for you.

Posted by: juggernaut

fuuuuck you O.

Hey JD! Wat up! I'm back, I think. lol Miss you. Hope all is going well!

Posted by: Burner02

...and he's gone...again....he IS getting old....maybe forgot how to log in?

Posted by: yellowmoomba

He's injured......again.............. but he's due to return about now

Posted by: omerta2010

Caught up with JD the other day. He's still battling the shoulder issues .

And is keeping really busy with the new job and gf.

Posted by: omerta2010

Caught up with JD the other day and he wanted me to give everybody an update on his shoulder.
He got an MRI and found out he has: Torn Rotator Cuff, and Torn Labrum

He was busy so we didn't talk that much but looks like he's going to be needing surgery.

Posted by: IslandGirl

Hey buddy! I guess I'm gonna have to catch you on FB! Missing you in here!

Posted by: davegmb

Sounds grim about JD's shoulder i will have to message him on FB

Posted by: juggernaut

Damn that sucks!

Posted by: Triple Threat

Any time you use "tear" and a body part in the same sentence, it usually isn't good.

Posted by: JerseyDevil

UPDATE

I haven't touched a weight for 3 months due to continued shoulder discomfort. An MRI showed two tears in the shoulder, and after consultation with a top notch shoulder specialist it was determined that surgery is my best option. Normally they take a conservative approach but in this case surgery is basically my only option.

So this coming Wednesday I am having arthroscopic surgery to repair a full thickness rotator cuff tear and clean up damage to the labrum. What's scary is that in about 20% of cases the rotator cuff does not heal.... My surgeon said I was "highly likely" to have a full recovery however, and I can be back to my routine in about 6 months. He said it helps that I have excellent muscle mass, and all the other tendons are in good condition. But it is going to be a slow process.

Wish me luck!

Posted by: davegmb

Good luck jd, excellent muscle mass hey! Are you sure he was hitting on you haha

Posted by: Burner02

You know the saying: If you go into the doc's and get a prostate exam...and feel BOTH doc's hands on yoru shoulders....you need to worry.

JD! That's good news! Get that fixed up and you'll be back at it in no time!
How's the GF? Y'all can play doctor....she can give you spnge baths...this could be a good thing...
Be well, brotha!

Surgery went very well..... Doing PT now..... About another 3-4 months before I can get in the weight room.

My love football.... my college team imploded.... but had a huge win against Wisconsin (OHIO STATE)..... My PRO team (EAGLES) who have sucked so far this year had a HUGE win against the Cowgirls.... life is good.

Sorry for the lack of response..... Damn, you kicked our ass, and it was about time! Great game, really. Hmmmm, Urban Meyer.... never liked him, but I have a smile on my face right now.....

Posted by: omerta2010

hahah yeah the eagles need some help this year.

I can't beleive they keep playing a wide receiver that's afraid to catch the ball.

I think he's making Randy Moss's "I play when I want to play" attitude look tame becaue at least he admitted he was slacking.

How's the rehab going?

Posted by: IslandGirl

So glad to hear surgery went well! Best of luck with PT. As dedicated as you are, I bet that will go pretty quick for you.

How's the rehab going?

It's a catch 22 situation with Desean. He's been in the league for 3 years now, and a two time Pro Bowl selection.... yet the Eagles are only paying him the league minimum. Last summer they picked up all these free agents paying them millions of dollars each, including giving Vick 100 million, but no new contract for Desean. Most thought he would hold out until he got a new contract, but he was the good soldier and came to training camp since they promised they would discuss a new contract. They did not.... and to add insult to injury they keep running him in plays across the middle asking him to lay out. He is not a big guy, 170 lbs at best and suffered two concussions last year. In other words if he gets another concussion, or a serious injury he is screwed. Not that I agree with it but he is basically telling Andy Reid "let's see you go across the middle fat boy!". I think he is trying to stay healthy and say screw you to the Eagles front office so they will trade him. He is probably hurting himself, but I see the point.

Rehab is going great. Saw the surgeon last week and he said "it's a home run". My range of motion is close to 100% which is fantastic considering it's only 3-1/2 months from surgery. I think he is going to give me the green light to start training again at the 5 month mark, normally it's given at 6 months. I have been doing bands, kettle ball work, leg work, rowing, pulldowns, and just started doing some push ups (4 sets of 5 to start).

Thanks Tracy. While off I lost around 8 lbs of lean mass and gained about 12 lbs of fat, but I'm in a good place. I'm 197 lbs at 12%-13% body fat, so with a good diet and weight training again, I think I can get into shape fairly fast.

***EDIT***
I just read the news! Congratulations on getting your PRO CARD Tracy, wow!!

Let's see some workouts in here

Posted by: omerta2010

Congrats on the progress.

I guess I hate all NFL players who sign contracts, and then start complaining and don't play them out. When if they played it out they'd be free agents and that's there chance to make a big payday based on there play.

Jackson would have been better off sitting out, showing this attitude is probably going to make alot of teams think twice, or limit the length of offers like they started doing with TO. He was at a point nobody would offer more than 2 yrs because after that point he'd always start pulling his BS and causing issues historically.

How's Shelby? We need to catch up one of these days.

I agree, in hindsight he should have sat out. At the time everyone was patting him on the back for returning....

All I can say is if the Raiders can get him.... TAKE HIM! The dude is not an Owens or Rice type receiver, but he is crazy fast... electrifying is the word.

Shelby is doing great! How is Chloe? If you see me on FB send me a chat!

Hey Mikey!! I'm not exactly back...... but close. Things are never better.... You coming home for Christmas?

Posted by: omerta2010

We aren't going to afford him, we're coming up on having to give bush and mcfadden some $$.

I'm starting to wonder about mcfadden since he's never played a full year yet, when he plays he's awesome, but we can never get a full year out of him.

At least your guys had a better weekend than ours. This game is plain sad

Posted by: yellowmoomba

It's been a month......Are you lifting "real weights" (as you called them) yet ?

Posted by: JerseyDevil

Originally Posted by yellowmoomba

Wow, talk about ironic.... I had my last appt with the surgeon this morning, you must have ESP! Everything looks really good, so he is officially discharging me and ending PT. I am now cleared to lift, but with the goal of being 100% 6 months from now.

Recovering from a full tear of the rotator cuff is a year long process, and it is way better to err on the side of caution. At the moment I am doing 3 sets of 10 pushups, 3 x 10 sets of pulldowns with 70 lbs, 3 x 10 sets of low rows with 70 lbs, 3 x 12 sets of floor presses with 22 lb kettlebells/ea arm, etc....

I will be stepping it up from here, but very gradually.

Yes, I'm excited!! Just feels good getting back to more standard exercises. Not worried about weight at all. Using very strict form is the name of the game for me going forward now

Posted by: omerta2010

awesome news.

I need to order you some pink dumbbells.

Hope you had a great christmas and new years.

Posted by: juggernaut

JD, congrats on the good news. Take it slow and start too light. You'll be a happy camper. Remember it isnt just a bunch of workouts strung together-it's a lifelong process.

Don't worry big guy.... I know. I was lucky to have a great surgeon and also a really good physical therapist who is also into strength training. Drilled into my head "erring on the side of caution is way better then the alternative". Right now everything is a gradual tune up for 6 months.

Been thinking of your situation...read this on LIVESTRONG.COM - Lose Weight & Get Fit with Diet, Nutrition & Fitness Tools | LIVESTRONG.COM
Perhaps you'd be better using this type of training to get you stronger. Much more natural movement as well.

Remains to be seen if I am kicking butt, lol. His big thing is posture and keeping your shoulders down and back and 'packing' your shoulder blades. If done correctly this takes a lot of strain off the shoulder capsule in training and also day to day activities. Training with farmer's walks while maintaining posture is ideal for developing this.

A friend of mine turned me on to that website a few months ago, good stuff. I will incorporate some of this into my program. I need to take it really slow, and not try to do too much.

Sad part is that now days the majority of the farmers should do this workout to remember what it was like.

Now most just climb in the tractor and push levers. And yes I'm speaking from personal experience, and current relatives.

JD, I like the posture reasoning. Looks like I might have to add another accessory excercise or stap it in along the way.

. Not sure who I am routing for, and I agree the Giants are hot.

Posted by: juggernaut

I've noticed the giants haven't been getting credit where it's due. I've said it before, but the media is saying the packers weren't great, or missed plays. While this is true, no media source is saying holy shit, the giants dominated! I think it's really lopsided coverage.

Do you have any issues with your shoulder and squats?

Originally Posted by omerta2010

So far, no. But the bar across the back puts a stretch on the shoulder, and the deadlift has that downward pull (much like a farmers walk) , so like everything else I need to start in moderation. Using lighter weight has given me the opportunity to use much stricter form, which is a good thing

How do you like them? I started them a couple weeks ago.

Posted by: JerseyDevil

Me likey..... The PT had me start with pushups against a table, then a chair, then a Reebok step with 3 risers, then 1 riser, then standard pushups, and then finally one leg pushups. The progression worked well

Yes it is! I could do more, but I need to be very conservative. Sometimes a day after a workout I have some discomfort in the shoulder.... that is the sign I am getting back into it too fast. The last 3 workouts - no discomfort at all, which is a great sign.

Way to be pro-active on that one.

Other than that great looking workouts, I need to try trap bar deads if I can talk my new gym into getting a trap bar.

I was lucky to use a gym years ago that had a trap bar, and pumped my new one just got one. But honestly, I can't do THAT much more weight like some people. The benefit for me is much less stress on the lower back. I still like the good ole deadlift!

Time is one thing I do not have on my side, just turned 56 a few weeks ago

. But hey, my workouts are going to change with a different focus. It's been close to a year since I got the fantastic results from the CKD diet (thanks Juggernaut)..... and I'm still only 193-197 lbs. Albeit with higher fat, and a lot less muscle... Once I get the workouts going and diet in check.... I will be in a good place

Burner! Good to see you. Have you ever had that MRI'ed? It sounds like you have a partial rotator cuff tear. With a good PT program, you can probably be close to 100%.... if not you will need to have the surgery like I did. I know a REALLY great shoulder surgeon, one of the best in the nation. PM me for more info if interested.

You know, the cheater ones where you use counterweight. My gym has one that you can do dips and pullups. I guess correct name is 'assisted' pullups. I'm pretty sure I can do body weight pullups, but I'm only 5 months post surgery and the healing process takes about a year, so I need to be extremely careful.

Having some struggles, but don't we all? Feels great back in the gym, and my ego is in check.... I'm benching 55 lbs right now, and I'm sure the young'uns see this 56 year old and think, it's great he is lifting.... not knowing I will hang or exceed most of them in the next 6 months or so!

Oh I bet there is....... The Red Cross has blood drives on almost a daily basis. For every pint you give, you save on the average of 3 lives.

I think I pissed one of the trainers off at my new gym yesterday, his client kept asking him questions about my workout, and all he'd keep saying is "he's doing a powerlifting routine" over and over. With alot of "but, but" while he thought of reasons for the guy not to lift heavy.

I think Cam comes back every once in awhile. I really wonder about Gary..... he just dropped out of site and never came back. Last I remember about Rock, he started having depression issues and when it was his birthday no one posted to say HB, he was pissed and went off, and I never saw him again. Remember the "Whoring Thread"? Last I heard Atherjen married a Canadian bodybuilder, that was years ago. Everyone else I have no idea.

So far, so good. I only wanted to try one top set, and believe it or not 225 x 8 was not easy..... not hard, but got me breathing hard.

JBo went to crossfit...pffft.

Hey, at least I'm still here.

They have those all over around here.....The bright spot is the economy will pick up in the medical field because of all the injuries due to poor form!

Good call. If you're not comfortable with the movement, definitely re-think it before proceeding.

Thanks guys! I used to love dips, but they do stress the shoulder capsule way too strongly. Diamond pushups are a better choice.

Interesting day in the gym. Spoke with not one, not two, but three guys who also had surgery for a full tear of the rotator cuff. One is about the same time out from surgery as me, and he is still experiencing a lot of pain. The other 8 months after surgery still couldn't lift his arm past parallel to the floor, so a week ago had surgery to remove scar tissue. He already has better ROM then before the surgery. The last guy is one year out from surgery and is lifting pretty heavy. Didn't get a chance to talk to him in-depth, but I will be..... We are calling ourselves the "Rotator Cuff Tear Club".

Not sure if I want to join THAT Club .... LOL Looks like you are WAY ahead of them on your road back to 100%
