Me, I'm basically making it harder for my body to heal by continuing to work like I do. This isn't the first time I 've been told this, as I jacked up my rotator cup (yes, cup) and do to all the heavy lifting I was doing at work, I couldn't heal my shoulder properly, hence why I will never play softball again.

Well, got a little workout in Friday morning. Walked on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Then did 2 supersets of DB bench/DB row @60#, 12 reps. Then did 2 sets of DB laterial raises @15#,20#, 10 reps. Then I did 2 supersets of standing DB curls/DB behind the head extensions @30#,35#, 10 reps.
Not too bad, gonna start back up on Monday hopefully. Also gonna start with the supplements again.

Start with a low dosage. I initially used half the spoon that it comes with, and that was plenty. I've gradually increased it to a full spoon and that's what I'm sticking with.

Archangel · 04-22-2006, 12:33 PM

Back at the gym...................... Good Stuff my Friend!!!

I didn't realize it came in pill form, too. I've only used the liquid.

I'm glad your getting into things slowly Doug...I can't beleive you are still have some discomfort after all this time ...

dougnukem · 04-25-2006, 03:49 PM

Do I have a black cloud over my head? While riding my bike home from work today, I had to make a sudden stop and my brakes locked up. I went head first into the pavement and landed with all my weight on my right hand. Shaved some skin, and now it feels like I either sprained or broke the joint for the thumb.

Can't lift let alone hold a weight with that hand.

Archangel · 04-25-2006, 03:55 PM

OMG, are you okay now??? I would get it checked out my Friend!!!

boilermaker · 04-25-2006, 04:01 PM

Nuke, hope things are OK for you. Sorry I've been away for a while. I wasn't sure where that was going at first. Riding a bike with the operation you had can't be on the doc's take home list as a "do". At least you didn't hang up on the gearshift, if you know what I mean.

dougnukem · 04-25-2006, 07:26 PM

I need to get my aerobics in somehow. Besides "that" way.

b_reed23 · 04-26-2006, 12:25 AM

phew....I was thinking the same thing...he sprained his already bruised twig and berries on the bar of the bike...yikies...

Hope everything heals up okay Doug...hang in there

Pylon · 04-27-2006, 06:45 AM

I can sympathize. I broke my right pinkie finger in a similar incident a year and a half ago. No fun. Sold my bike after that. The ones at the gym are much safer.

When the berries and twig are bruised, there is no real need to jeopardize them on a bike cruise.

I swear, I must be Charlie frickin Brown reincarnated. Now I sprained my right ankle playing basketball yesterday morning. So it's crutches for me.

You doing ok, Doug? these two things happened within a week or so of each other?
Be careful, my friend...so....sit in the middle of your plushest couch..and barricade yourelf with all things soft....

dougnukem · 05-07-2006, 05:44 PM

No kiddin. My foot is twice the size of my other foot with all kinds of nice bruises. Everyone who has seen it has said that its the worst sprain they've ever seen. Not the most encouraging thing to hear.

Gonna still and try to do some upper body work, to keep me motivated.

b_reed23 · 05-07-2006, 10:36 PM

Damn Doug, you are seriously having a rough time lately....try to be a bit more cautious!! Take care of yourself!
