My ongoing blast and cruise log

[Yuri1]

Hey my elite fitness fam, another Aussie checking in

This is going to my comeback log - post shoulder surgery from just having my tendon reattached after a full thickness tear.

My ongoing blast and cruise log is very proudly supported by my incredible sponsor:
@Raptor Labs @Raptor Labs @Raptor Labs

I’ve been pretty active in the Aussie section of EVO for a quite a bit now, but this will be my first time ever logging - I really wanted to start this log for 2 main reasons

1: Is to highlight the amazing and hard working Aussie labs we have right here - and even more specifically my incredible sponsor who I was a long term customer of and now I’m pumped to be apart of the ever growing Raptor Team!

2: This will be my comeback log - to rebuilding a new and better physique from the ground up.

I am now only 13 weeks post shoulder surgery. Just recently having a full thickness tear of my shoulder tendon with damages to my rotator cuff, supraspinatus, labrum and bicep - I’ve successfully had the tendon reattached, although full recovery and the return of strength and muscle will be a long road ahead - I am beyond excited for the journey to build a new and better physique.

For the first 7 weeks post-op my arm was completely immobilised in a sling, I’ve gone from not being able to raise my arm at all - to now having 90% range of motion in the past 6 weeks.

As this will be an ongoing blast and cruse log, I’ll add all of the current and additional information below as it will continue to change with each phase of the years ahead

Alright now down to the fun stuff, I’m currently finishing the last leg of a short fat loss phase - with approximately 8 weeks left to dig out, I’ll the aim to hit a small rebound, followed by a short health phase then into a long push phase to grow some serous tissue for the foreseeable future.

Side note:
All numbers (traning, volume, load, calories, macros, PEDs, steps, cardio, supplements, ect..) are simply moving targets at this point - there will be weekly assessments as my situation and range of motion improves.

I’d like to give a massive thank you to my sponsor @Raptor Labs for all there help. I was a long time and loyal customer before having this recent opportunity to log for them - that’s how I can truly stand behind this lab and the real service they provide!

My entire post surgery stack was from @Raptor Labs and it has been truly amazing, to the point that I am at lest 6 weeks ahead of the planed schedule from all the medial staff and physio

Now time to repair and grow a new physique with the help of my killer team!

My big bro, thanks for the warm welcome as always, you’ve been a g from day one

Bro it’s slowly on the mend, we’re at week 13 as of today - slow rebuild but I’m here for it and a chance to start fresh!

It was a hard first 7 weeks to be honest, the pain was like nothing I had felt before and not being able to even fucking shower was a real challenge.

Broooo @Raptor Labs my dude hey, like as legit as it gets way before all of this.
