The Long Road to re-recovery

So as most of you probably now I almost tore my lat muscle about a week ago and have been off ever since thank heavens it only stretched (still bloody sore) but now the slow long hard road to recovery is ahead so I don't really know how I stretched it? it just happened. . .and man that it have a negative effect because all the surrounding muscles had to work to keep the back straight I had a few spasms neck, lower back shoulder tips what a fun time . . .

The red dots is where the weakened points from the stretch is and the line is where it was actually stretched out badly mostly between the tendons and actual muscle.

So its all feeling nice and fuzzy today so I am starting the long hard road slowly from today unfortunately in my case I cant train anything without engaging that part  of my back in some slight manner as I use free weights and picking anything up seems to be an issue at the moment so I am going to train HST with 10ks all round until week end then 15 then 20 etc you get the idea Doc said should be ready in about 2 - 3 weeks and then take it slow for a couple of months (really) that is what I struggle with most but lets see perhaps the shoulder will also come right now and hopefully i can bench better again soon mmmmm wishing for some monster sessions in October November (that sound regrettably rotten) but lets do it slow and softly this time perhaps it will end up being a good time to refocus and reflect on every little piece of the puzzle. . .I will keep you posted as you can imagine I probably picked up like 5% fat all round as I didn't change my diet during the rest and quickly picked up some flab all round (cardio 30 - 45 mins every second day should get that out of the way soon)

So until next time keep pushing as hard as you can live with the iron on your mind and remember that whatever hurts today will be tomorrow's strength. . .
