Training
Cardio all but tues and thurs. 30 mins intervals and sled on
weekend, Monday 45 mins steady(had something I wanted to read!)
Monday Upper
-One arm pulls to chest with rope.
-one arm pushdowns
-One arms chest supported rows
-One arm barbell press
-One arm rope cable pec work.
Wednesday-
Heavy sled session for 4 laps. 2 forward and 2 backward.
Doc freed me from the sling(well I walked in without it)he was pleased with the progress and gave me the green light to begin active work with just the arm. His plan is 2 weeks arm work only, 2 weeks 1lb weight,then 2lb for 2 to 4 weeks. I already was doing alittle active work with the pulley exercises so minor tweeking is what will be in the works. Plan is add more active volume during the pulley sessions Do walk crawls with arm with some active on the way down. Will add more volume there as well

Itsy bitsy training and rehab
Wednesday, I go to see the ortho and should get released from my
sling. The last two weeks I have been doing pulley work with my rehab strap. I
had a new one made that was shortented some to make transitions quicker from
movement to movement. This work is still mostly passive with some engagement of
the rotator cuff in either slighlty above elbow height or on the decent from
head to shoulder. So far I have had the arm at about 90 % Rom in the overhead
position. Other positions are 50 to 75% ROM. Overall, I feel sorta on track.
Training wise I have been working the left upper side light with a rep in the 8 to 20 range. Lower work consists of leg presses , hack squats, curls, leg extensions, kb one arm swings and snatches. Still getting a couple days a week in.
Cardio is sled and stepmill. Moved into intervals again with the sling off and light holding with the repaired arm.Still fatty though but down to 230ish most days.
Unfotunately, Dale ripped his pec major last week which sets him back obviously . He is scheduled for surgery next week.We weren't sure which part he tore first so I started calling him Pec Minus. I then told him we would make a shirt and call it SCB Train Wreckers 'cause we don't do minor shit, we wreck the train off the tracks when 'tare it up!

update
hey guys,
sorry for not posting. we had a booth at the arnold followed by surgery the day after we got back.oh, sorry for the lower case writing. i amtyping all left handed right now.
the arnold went well and thanks to all who stopped by. the trip getting there and set up was one of the most bad luck ridden events we have done.i will save that story for when i get righty back.
the surgery went well. i ripped the infraspinattus and supra off along with the labrum tear so i called it the trifecta. doc thought the supra was not to be available for repair as it was retracted on the mri. when he got in there, it pulled right out.so 12 suctures later i am put back together. i have 2 more weeks inthe sling then passive work for two weeks then pulley work and rom work.
i got off the dope the saturday after the surgery and have been doing 45mins to a hour daily to get some fatty off and to keep me from training lower body so the arm will heal
gonna get some leg work in late this week or early next

Wednesday and Saturday
Cardio stuff 45 mins to 1 hour daily on treadmill with incline
jacked up. With the shoulder train wreck I did not want to piss it off or cause
more issues by holding onto the stepmill so the treadmill keeps me from jacking
it up more
Wednesday
-10 sets of 10 on leg press.
-100reps on abduction machine
-100 reps on leg extension
-one leg leg press for 10x10
Saturday
-Medium Stance leg press 10x10 with seconds rest per set
-one arm kb pulls 5x10 until the old lady yelled at me, "That is real good for your arm." I was using the left but she apparently meant not dropping it on my toe if the something happened.
I had the MRI on friday which was not comfortable at all. The machine was smaller so I had to put my not so great left arm over my head(remember this the one I tore the rotator cuff off a couple of years back)I also had to hold the, "let me the f%*k out of here button. They play classic rock in the head phones to distract you fromt the thump..thud..buzz.and repeat from the MRI machine. MY right arm was in a cuff like brace for the pictures. The main pressure point of teh cup was on the worst part of my shoudler so pain and thumping were in sync with the MRI. My only thoughts were how many 3 minute or 5 mins songs I needed to get through to get out. This MRI takes about 15 minutes. They must have been 3 minuters as it seemed like 6 songs passed. I like classic rock but none were enjoyable here. After teh sixth song I almost pressed the let me the f&*K out buttton but luckily it ended.
Tomm morning I find out the good news. The bicep is bleed out decent but not as bad as I thought it would. So keep the fingers crossed that it isn't extensive repair!
I will continue to do longer cardio sessions and lower body rep work. Cutting the carbs out until the surgery so hopefully I can get down about 10lb for the surgery. It is always better when I don't weigh as much.
I am still looking for the frequent surgery discount!
