@kobesnowy Thank you for staying in touch. I was a bodybuilder in my time.
Not now, by any standards.
I went to my gym,( first two letters are L A.) last week, and I thought everything was well. I was able to do shrugs for my delts . A surprise to say the least.
I did two sets of everything, including an hour on the treadmill.
The next morning I felt like I was hit by a truck. I couldn't get out of bed. I took two pain killers that were for my cervical and lumbar back.
Thank the lord.
I was in bed for a couple of days. I guess I over did it. Now I aggravated my left knee, and I look like a hunch back.
My orthopedic surgeon said it's time to replace the left knee.
It hurts in the front of my knee and the back. My exercise program aggravated it all.
I'm also scheduled for an ablation in my lumbar and cervical spine.
In my case I should have realized I am disabled old man. I should have gone for a fast walk.
Find a physical trainer that knows his stuff. Don't hire a big steroid fueled guy that just looks good. Ask your doctor who he would go to to for strength training. I did, and I was lucky enough to get a good one.I went twice a week to the rehab facility, and put close to an hour everyday. I did get the ROM improved. No strenth. Just be smart, and remember you aren't 21 anymore. Go light, and limit the three set rule.
We aren't going to make the Olympics this year.
Keep me posted.
Regards,
Ken
