About that time I (nutrition)

Double D · 07-22-2006, 06:26 AM

Only about a week since my last lifting session and I am down about 8 pounds. Well i am at 190lbs now. URGH!

fufu · 07-22-2006, 08:50 AM

Well that's good that the shoulder is healing. These pitfalls in training suck big time, but it passes.

Double D · 07-22-2006, 10:59 PM

I havent eaten well at all in the past week. I think I have had everything bad for me that there is. Well tonight here at work atleast I brought chicken breast, brocolli, and rice. Better than the pizza I ate the other day. Weighed 191 this morning. Am I losing muscle already? I dont even wanna touch the weights at this point because I dont wanna be dissapointed. I should expect it thoiugh, since I have been though this kinda thing before. But none the less its always depressing!

Burner02 · 07-24-2006, 11:26 AM

...did u have any Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip cookie dough ice cream???

I dooubt you'd drop muscle that fast...most likelt mainly just water weight? also wouldn't worry too much about lost strength....muscle memory is a good thing, besides, how long have u been out of the gym? You won't lose too much right away...and as u are still prety young, you'' be rack back in the saddle in a few weeks after you get back into it.

Archangel · 07-24-2006, 04:28 PM

Whats the news on the shoulder, Hope its good news!!!

fufu · 07-24-2006, 04:59 PM

I'm still suffering from some shoulder pains even after my week off. So I can feel your pain, I'm sure your injury is a little more serious than mine though.

Double D · 07-25-2006, 01:47 AM

Well guys surgery is scheleduled for a week from tommorow. So if you dont see me around much then thats why. Thanks for the support, but now I think I am going to need it more than ever!

fufu · 07-25-2006, 08:49 AM

So what was the verdict? I didn't know you were getting surgery!

Double D · 08-05-2006, 04:12 PM

Well supposivly I had some torn tissue, but I got a second opinion and he said with a bit of therapy it should do the trick, he didnt see anything tore. And he was an actual sports doc. He said about a month would do it. (if lucky). I am chomping at the bit to get back into the gym. I did however do legs the other day. I had a buddy handle the weight by putting it on the bar for leg press, leg extentions, and leg curls. Thats the only 3 exercises that I knew the shoulder wouldnt get used. Wish me luck guys.

fufu · 08-05-2006, 04:52 PM

Yeah, it sucks, but back squats put alot of pressure on the shoulders. Shoulders just get in the way of everything.

How is it feeling btw?

Double D · 08-06-2006, 08:47 PM

Feeling ok for now. Havent really did anything with it though. Gotta start therapy tommorow. I am sure I will be using those little bands and things like that. I am ready for the real weight again, but I know my limits.

fufu · 08-06-2006, 09:11 PM

Awesome.

Triple Threat · 08-07-2006, 10:57 AM

Good luck on the recovery. Shoulders are difficult to rehab and it takes a while. All in good time.

Double D · 08-08-2006, 04:18 PM

Thanks for the concern and the encouragment. Its much appreciated!

Double D · 08-11-2006, 04:38 PM

Well guys after a week of therapy my shoulder is feeling pretty good. Havent had hardly any pain, just kinda careful with it. I am already preparing for my workout in a month, that is if everything goes ok. Check this out.

Day1 (push)
Bench-4x6-10
Incline-3x6-10
DB's overhead press-3x10-12
Side raises-3x10
Close grip bench-3x10
skull crushers-2x20

Day 2-off

Day 3-Legs
Wanna do squats, but believe it or not my squat rack broke a few days before I hurt my shoulder. (A wield came outa it)
Lunges-4x20 (heavy weight)
SLDL-4x10
LegEx-3x10
Leg Curls-3x10
Calve Raises-4x10-15

Day 4-off

Day 5-Back, Bis, traps, and abs (Pull)
Deadlift-4x6-10
Pullups-4x10
1-Arm DB row-3x10
Bar Curls-3x10
Alternating Curls-2x10
Shrugs-3x10
Decline Crunches-4x25
Seated Knee ups-4x20

Next 2 days off.

What do you guys think? Maybe to much bicep work or just enough? Same goes for triceps, to much tri work or just enough?

Like I said fellas I am ready just as soon as they clear my shoulder! And of course I wont do heavy weights to start off, I wanna make sure my shoulder is 100%!

fufu · 08-11-2006, 09:26 PM

Arm stuff looks fine IMO. I suppose if you don't have any pain, you should be fine for things like overhead pressing and such, I'm not a professional so take my opinion lightly. What sort of rehab stuff are you doing for your shoulder?

Double D · 08-11-2006, 09:30 PM

Alot of band movements for now. I dont know what he has in mind for the later weeks. My mind set is better now than ever. I think its pretty much because I am chomping at the bit to get in there and go!

fufu · 08-11-2006, 09:37 PM

That's great, being injured can be a major stress dealing with not going to the gym. Glad to see your doing better. Improvement from now on.

Without a doubt. I can't wait to get out and grow again. I know my strength will be about half, but its cool. It will only take about 3 or 4 months to get back to where I was. I wanna do some 100lbs. DB Lunges! Those are intense!

fufu · 08-12-2006, 12:07 PM

lawl, those are some savage lunges.

Archangel · 08-13-2006, 01:37 PM

Brother DD, glad the rehab is going well, I like the w/o plan of attack, looks solid to me, but then again what do I know!!!

Heres to a speedy recovery my Friend!!!

Double D · 08-13-2006, 04:01 PM

Fufu-Yes those Lunges are super intense, ought to give them a try sometime.

Arch-Thanks. It seems to be going good. Best wishes to you and your family.

Double D · 08-18-2006, 03:01 AM

Just a small update, shoulder is feeling fantastic. Also up to 205lbs! I dont know if thats good or bad, but I have been taking creatine Monohydrate to try and preserve muscle. Whatcha guys think, am I holding water weight? I mean thats like 7 or 8 pounds in like a week.

fufu · 08-18-2006, 08:43 AM

Great, so you aren't experiencing any pain?

Double D · 08-21-2006, 02:48 AM

Nope no pain at all. Actually played in a softball tournament this weekend to. Of course my left shoulder isnt my throwing shoulder. which is good. But I took my swings with about half the normal power. But all and all it went good. another few weeks and I can start my workout. I sure did eat like a pig this past week though. But still only weigh in at 200lbs. So everything is going ok. Hate to see the decrease in strength whenever I get back into it. Oh well guess gotta take the good with the bad.

Well that is good news. You probably expereinced some slight atrophy, but you'll bounce back. When do you plan on starting weight training again?

Double D · 08-25-2006, 12:57 PM

Fufu-Well dont know for sure. My last therapy session is today in an hour. My trainer says I am doing fantastic and sees no reason why I shouldnt be able to get back into it very lightly. But he wants me to see my doc first. So probably next week sometime. Pretty excited.
