zinzen Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinzen Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 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.

zinzen Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Well I just finished my last workout Here are the chest day and ab and arm day results, fuck I am sad.Flat bench dumbell press-70*4 60*10Incline dumbell press 55*6Decline dumbell press 50-15, wouldve done more but fear of shoulder popping out kind of intense at this pointFlat dumbell flyes 30*10Incline machine single arm 70*8 Abs Side bends 45 lbs plate *15 each sideStanding rope crunch 120*15Seated twists holding a 12 lbs dumbell 15 each sideLow abs crunch 25 per set armsBarbell curl for size 90*4for stamina 70*8Seated barbell curl 60*10Concentration hammer curl 30*10Wide grip curl 70*10Skull crusher 70*8Tricep press 150*10Rope press 110*10wrist curls (flexor group) 30*30(extensor group) 20*15 Thats it before surgery tomorrow.Posting some final pics from the last workout just to remind myself of the shape I was inhttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/zinzen/0907081132.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/zinzen/0907081153.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/zinzen/0907081847.jpghttp://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/zinzen/0907081857.jpgI 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 Edited September 8, 2008 by zinzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinzen Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) 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 readI will get a pic, I tried uploading one to photobucket but it wont let me right now for some reason Edited September 9, 2008 by zinzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
