They have not. I’m waiting on an MRI but based on research I’m doing it’s potentially a grade 3. The clavical bone is definitley pushing through the top of my trap. Did u end up getting surgery?

I've never seen someone who is an athlete or into bodybuilding that didn't opt for surgery with grade. If you have the means, you get it done and never have to worry about it again. Otherwise, you will be vastly limited in any pursuit in bodybuilding in which we spoke about. Of course, the choice is yours and your Dr but just giving my 2 cents of what I've experienced over two decades.

Oh no dude I want surgery lol work comp is ganna fight me tooth and nail but I’m way to physically active to not have surgery done. There either ganna do it because I need it done to continue my life the way I was before this injury OR a lawyer sues them for the money I need to have it done lol either way it’s happening. I was just curious what his recovery was like without it

 

[thebiggestdumbass]

Oof. Did u gain full range of motion back?

I have full range of motion but without the surgery there’s definitely an inbalance that took a lot of time to figure out how to workout my chest and back to hit both sides equally.

It’s hard to explain the imbalance but I have to be very diligent about how I move and set my broken side prior to back and chest movements to make sure it’s engaging as much as possible

I recommend the surgery if your doctor does

Every case is different but I wouldn’t say it’s that dramatic tbh. I don’t think it would hold someone back from being competitive at a national level given they understand how to work out the damaged side properly

I respectfully disagree. National level? Have you ever competed?

Yessir and I can send you some stage photos and you can tell me which side has the separation?

 

[Meetketchup]

Yessir and I can send you some stage photos and you can tell me which side has the separation?

Well, you sir you are an outlier and good for you. I believe you, no need to send pics. lol We're adults here.

However, for a guy in his 30's not to opt for surgery on an injury that will hinder him (regardless of what they peruse - just in general) as well as build himself up for a future show which will require quite a lot of work isn't optimal in my opinion.

that’s why I mentioned every case being different. I probably got insanely lucky that the asymmetry isn’t there and not everyone would be that lucky which is why I recommended the surgery in my initial post.

I’d say the biggest disadvantage to not doing the surgery is until you figure out your new biomechanics, your non broken side will over compensate and other muscle than the target muscle will take over on the broken side for pressing movement. It’s a challenge but not impossible

40 min cardio this morning around the neighborhood.

MRI scheduled for late tomorrow night. 2 doctors appointments on Thursday this week. Got one to find out the official damage and what he would want to do and I have the second one lined up after for a second opinion, just incase this one says no surgery I got another one lined up for an opinion. Believe it or not work comp gave me a hard time about seeing another doctor lol these people are fucking scummy man.

I do spinach and pico de gaillo in scrambled eggs with a little fat free cheddar pretty regular, it looks very similar to yours and its damn good, so I already know yours is tasty too.

I started using 2IU iron lion GH as of Friday 10/24, before bed to help with my recovery. My IGF1 score also was shit so another reason I started it. I’ll do some lab work in a few weeks to see if my igf1 score has gone up.

Still just training legs. Coach has put my coaching on hold currently since I can’t really train. So hoping to get back in the swing of things here in the next couple weeks with that. Wel see how PT goes

I’m out of my sling. I use it when I need it now. I Started physical therapy today. Didn’t really do much just assed my movements and stuff. Supposed to go 2-3 times a week. So I scheduled 3 times a week all the way out to Christmas. She thinks around 8 weeks of therapy before returning to work. The doc thinks 4 lol guess Wel see

Was able to get on the adductor machine today so I started incorporating that. I was short on time though so didn’t get in as many sets as I wanted. I’m ganna try getting in some walking lunges next session since I’m out of my sling, I’ll have balance to be able to do them

Do as much as you can handle. Let me know if you can do some of those or other movements this Sat and we can incorporate them in some scheme. This doesn't count as coaching time btw.

Sore as ball from PT yesterday. We’re just focusing on mobility excercises for now.

Noticed I was getting some headaches from the GH. I adjusted the salt I put on my foods and increased water intake. Wel see if that helps any today. Seems to be a pretty normal thing for the first week-2weeks with this stuff so not worried about it at all.
