Lets see, this is my 3rd shoulder, I had 2 catarac surgeries, tonsils, wisdom teeth, umbilical hernia, inguinal hernia, some weird thing where they stuck a massive needle in my stomach, stuck a needle in my toe and cut it all open, and 2 that I dont really want to talk about.

Yeah needless to say its kinda hard to get painkillers that work now

are you saying my legs and abs need work joe?

Ha they really do though, well my abs are strong as shit, just pudge over em, but I have been holding off on leg workouts for about a month and a half to focus on building everything else, simply because I knew thats all I would have.

Ok so I had what I figure will be my last back day so here are my best lifts for back.

160*1 for lat pulldowns, 145*10 normal lat pulldowns.

100*10 close grip bent rows

140*10 rows

Then I do lower trap work that I cant really name but it used close grip pullys above my head and thats 35lbs for 15

And I also do middle trap rhomboid work using a row machine and thats 70lbs each arm for 15

Single arm rows 70*10 each arm.

And thats about it for back folks.

On a side note Pantera is the greatest band ever

I appreciate all the comments I have gotten, and all the views also, for some reason this has been very very stressful for me, none before really have been.

Lifting has been my life solid for about a year and it makes me horribly sad to know that I will watch some of this progress go down hill, which is why I started this log.

Either tomorrow or the next day I will have a pic of the damage done from the surgery, untill then I sit and wait.

Peace,

Tom

Seriously though, its 2:45 am and I am sitting here eating a popsicle crying ever so slightly due to the fact that my shoulder is twice the size its sposed to be.

So here is what happened to the best of my knowledge.

They gave me a nerve block which was sposed to prevent me needing to be put totally under, but the dude didnt block it along the dermatome that the surgeon cut, so my only thought is the way they found this out is by slicing through my goddamned skin and waking me up, though I do not recall this.

Then after the procedure the doc came out and told my wife and ma that they could see me in 5 minutes but 2 hours later they still didnt, why you ask, because my o2 was low and my vitals dropped to dangerously low places.

So once again, I dont remember any of this, but down went a tube into my airway to pump my ass with oxegen.

The pain is so fucked that percocets arent even glazing the surface.

Oh well life goes on, I just figured you folks in VBBF world would enjoy a good read

I will get a pic, I tried uploading one to photobucket but it wont let me right now for some reason

I just went back and looked at your pics too. Thanks so much for wearing the shirt! I love seeing the Vegan Bodybuilding shirts in action....that, to me, means a lot.

 

Great muscles too man! I know how you feel about being slowed down...I've had my share of set-backs, or slow periods due to injury or recovery time, but muscle comes back pretty quickly and the fun begins again.

 

I'm off to bed but take care buddy!

 

Rest up.
