I get the hernias looked at April 30. They moved that date forward so I like that. We shall see.
Yesterday did some chest. On chest days the shoulder has been giving a little discomfort again in shoulder. So am taking it easy on chest for a bit.
Spent good part of work out trying different machines a such. Figured out pain more on forward push at full lock. And more when elbows high. I still thing it is the tendon trying to heal. That is about 5 months more. So I am staying with movement that keeps elbows in, and 3/4 reps. I k ow when I get in last 1/4 of full lock it turns off chest and shoulders take over. Just wanna work chest. All other movements feel great. Gonna do a bit more band work for that shoulder. Incline bench on smith machine reverse grip chest press feel good with good chest activation. Finally smith machine that do not lean one way. I can do more stuff with it.
Still holding about 180 lb.
Able to hit gym 5-6 days at 2 hours each day including sauna time at end.
Kinda hard to post work outs right now. On so many machine trying things.and I have not figured out this metric stuff yet.,
Pull ups are getting better and that is awesome.
Abs are waking up after 2 years off.

@Slyderkt That's good, man. It's really important to make sure you take care of your body. Let us know about their hernias. I've got at least 2 or 3 myself and they are not getting bigger, so I'm not gonna mess with them for now.

@Slyderkt hernias are bad words. had one years ago but mostly from heavy repair plumbing jobs. got so bad was hurting to put on shoes. had to get it taken out. wife work at hospital and knew good doctor honest. you should do it

 

[ballin2504]

All is great. Loving the new gym. Switched to more morning workouts. Holding at 180 lbs
Been crazy around here. My father passed away and funeral it this weekend. All is good. He was 93 and lived a full live. Was not well last couple years. Declined quickly. Friday night went to sleep and did not wake up. This is all for the best. He is in much better place now.

I went to plastic surgeon. Going to have excess skin removed. But first I need to have inguinal hernia looked at. No pain. Didn’t know it was there. both side poke out. I can make them bulge when pushing. Now that I am lean yo see them. I did not know they existed

@Slyderkt in sorry about your loss man. My grandmother just passed away at 92. Can complain with a life that long I don’t guess. But good luck with the plastic surgeon brother!

@Slyderkt Wow. That's awesome, man, that you're able to hit the gym for 2 hours, pretty much every day. That's some great commitment. And it's awesome way to really relieve yourself of the stress throughout the body.

@Slyderkt I think it's time to dump the shoulder workouts that you've been doing.
Focus more on mobility and stretching, get that shoulder loose and break up that scar tissue.

@Slyderkt hopefully your hernias are, okay. If they're small and not causing problems, you can leave them for the future, but if they're getting bigger and causing some type of interaction, you should get rid of them.

@Slyderkt Keep going bro....you are doing good..........

 

[Slyderkt]

Ok funny story. So today was my father’s funeral. I elected to speak at it. I am at peace with his death. I knew I might break while reading my message. So far, I have held strong for my family, but I am not scared to let my emotions be seen.
I was doing good this morning , But about 10 minutes before start time. I start to lose my shit. I go out side for a little walk to clear my head.
I grab my phone and go straight to this forum. I open it to find messages of encouragement from all of you. We have never met. Yet we all inspire and show support for each other. Y’all are amazing people.
So by reading the post and releasing my mind. I was able to pull it together, and calm down. I went in and delivered my message.
What a beautiful day.
Back to the gym tomorrow, Easter morning 8 am.

I had an appointment with my sports therapist but had to cancel. He would have been great. Shoulder work out doesn’t bother me. Figured it is chest press. Pain is really at full lock. That’s when chest turns off and shoulders turn on. Shortened the length of push. Tendon is still healing

 

[Slyderkt]

hernias how bad are they ? @Slyderkt

i like you back training
hows your eating?

I don’t think they ar bad. They are inguinal so low. Below waist line kinda that v shape that towards my junk.
I do not feel them and never really noticed them. I thought it was part of the shape down there. Don’t really see them till I am lean like I am know.
Not super worried about them but figured get them looked at.

@Slyderkt Glad to hear your hernia appointment got moved up! It’s smart to take it easy on chest workouts, especially with the shoulder discomfort. Focusing on movements that keep your elbows in and using 3/4 reps sounds like a good strategy to avoid aggravating it.

 

[Slyderkt]

@Slyderkt ’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the new gym and sticking to your morning workouts! Holding steady at 180 lbs is impressive, especially with everything going on.

It finally hit. I did pick up a few lbs. Easter and funeral food back to back. It ok it was worth it and will be easy to drop.

 

[Slyderkt]

@Slyderkt I’ve got a feeling I’ll be going through the same thing soon. My shoulder isn’t letting up any

I’d say get it looked at. I avoided it and cost me to get worse. I did have bursitis also and that was handled with alive double dose (2 pills each day for 7 days). Of course it was more than that. But I told this t a guy at gym and just that. Fixed him. That is more of a pain in back of shoulder. Could be a simple fix, never know. MRI tells the whole story

 

[Slyderkt]

@Slyderkt a lot of times these therapists focus more on strengthening around the injury. when really they should focus more on mobility.

Oh trust me this guy is the real deal. He is not my Dr recomended physical therapist. I went to them and we pounded on rang of motion and mobility. That is great in the shoulder. This guy is my sports therapist. I see him once a month. Stretches and massage out all knots. Breaks up my scar tissue. Dry needles, cups, electrodes, and other stuff I don’t even understand. He is magic

 

[Slyderkt]

@Slyderkt i get it, you should deep tissue that
you start doing some meal prep?

About 6 lb chicken breast every week. Packaged up an ready to go. Veggies and rice ready to go.
Been doing cup of Greek yogurt 0% with blueberries or raspberries, plus an Apple. Right after morning work out.

 

[Slyderkt]

Yesterday day was an arm day.
Cable machine
1. Rope push down 4 set 50 reps
2. Rope bicep curl 4 sets 20
3. Over head tricep extension cable in mid back.
4. Flat bar curl Laying down.
5. Flat bar seated elbows above eyes curl.
Weights and machines
6. Easy curl bar over hand 40lb 4 set 15
7. Preacher curl machine elbow high
8. Preacher curl machine elbows down.
9. Seated dip machine. Triceps.
10. Dumbells bicep front of body.

Only about an hour but arms felt like Popeye.
Then hit sauna for 20 min.
Off to work
