Tom Blackman - recovery after surgery

***TinyTom*** · 17-03-2008, 11:28 AM

trained Back on Friday and Arms on Sunday.

For back I did

Warm up of cable Latpullovers+standing cable row+standing hi cable row.

This is a technique I picked up from Harold who uses it to warm up his whole back area.

Then I did DB Rows which I managed to get up to 40kg on the last set.

Then High Hammer Pulldown Machine and got up to 50kg each side.

Then close grip Pulldown up to 50kg.

I also did some DB shrugs at the end.

I think I am back up to about half strength at the moment but everything is steadily improving. I've stopped the physio exercises except for the rotator stuff as the other exercises were just bench press and rowing movements which I am doing anyway.

On saturday I was at my hypnosis course but trained when I got back and decided to hit my arms quite hard to see if I could handle it.

I did

High Cable Curls - No pain now whereas 2 weeks ago there was a slight twinge

Tricep single arm pulldown

DB curl + BB curl superset (got up to 20kg on DB curls and used a 15kg BB to get some more reps out after)

Preacher curl - only 5kg ona single arm

CLose grip Bench and seated DB curl superset. Got up to 80kg on CGBP and used 10kg DBs for curls

Tricep pressdown - 80kg on last set.

This is pretty close to my total arm strength before the surgery so I was quite pleased

Although today my arms are still aching

I was 93kg on Saturday which is good progress

WTF is a High Hammer Pulldown Machine?
Are you taking any anti inflammatories Tom or other prescribed meds for your shoulder?

Good progress!
