ianders1 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Glad to hear that you're making forward progress, Rick. I know from my injuries/surgeries that waiting is the hardest part. It sounds like you're pushing yourself just hard enough to get stronger but not impede the healing. That's definitely the way to go. What are you doing for rehab, anyway? DB flyes and the like? If you're like me, you're probably ignoring their little exercise sheet that they gave you and they're amazed at how quickly you're recovering. I see bent red nails hanging from the Christmas tree in your future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Rehab: Attach mini jump stretch bands to cage-press out in front of me so there is tension-then vibrate hands back and fourth. Push-ups on wobble boards and in rings. Vibration with thin PVC pipe. (thanks to Smitty for all of those exercises!) Other then that-just regular training.

John Beatty Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Rick- Wish I'd seen this post earlier, could have saved you some lost training time. When Karl Gillingham tore his Bi, he did deads with a strap that went over his shoulders. Big loop of tie down strap for semi trucks. he didn't have to use his bad arm & was still able to pull & not lose back strength. I'd contact him for info on rehabbing. jackalsgym.com John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Loaf Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Rick, sorry that happened to you. Seems like you get injured a lot, eh? That is painful. I would be SO frustrated if it happened to me. I prayed for your healing and i really hope you get well soon man. MEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Seems like you get injured a lot, eh? Dont really know what this is supposed to mean, however, I have only been injured once bad enough to halt training and that was with this torn pec. There is a difference in being injured and hurt. I hurt all the time. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
