Well, the range Ortho #1 gave me on the tear is 25 - 50%. From my readings and various conversations with other doc's (non-ortho's) as well as guys who've been through it (BG's was a total tear) everything seems to point to repairing it. Especially if the tear is near 50%. With the MRI I don't really see why they can't narrow down the percentage torn, although I'm not super familiar with reading MRI's and have no desire to become efficent at it unless someone pays me.
I also don't think (I could be wrong) that Ortho #1 is taking into consideration how I train. That or maybe he's just conservative. But I don't want to have to baby it and constantly feel like I'm now training with half a tendon, even though it may have healed properly. Seems like it's just another tear waiting to happen this way. He also said basically let's see how it goes and if it still hurts or tears more (or completely) then we can fix it at that time with no issues. Thanks Doc for that thought. Just sounds like it's delaying the inevitable to me. BG said the same in a pm.
So, right now I'm just of the mindset that fixing it is the best option for me. If Ortho #2 on Tuesday concurs with #1 then I guess I'd have to stick to their plan. I don't want to be 100% healed with 50% of a bicep tendon. I'd rather the ratio be 100/100.

Treadmill Warm up, planks, crunches then legs. Had to use smith for squats and lunges since squat racks occupied by supersetters. I didn't mind smith. Actually preferred.
DOMS within 6 hours. Happy to get in a workout.

Morning Marcus, Nach, AG, Cape, Kel, Song and GGR, I am here reading daily!!!! Today is day 3 of pullback with working out. It is so hard to train your body to lift lower weights. It's a nice change, but I love the heavy lifting and failure.....it's addicting lol!
Doing legs today. Will still exhaust them, but lower weight and higher reps!
Nach your training is looking awesome.
I haven't felt that crazy soreness yet, I feel like I am not pushing enough, but it's a pullback? So for instance on chest yesterday I did peck deck and insteD of Doing 170, I did 100lbs for 12 reps or so for 3 sets.....but no soreness. Should it be harder? 100 is a lower weight for me on peck deck. If I remember correctly cape said 1/2 weight of normal, but i am not feeling it.....like you all. Just thoughts.

Thank you D! It's pure HIT time -- I appreciate you taking notice as well
Your gonna have to go by your feeler sets just hitting a higher rep range I would definitely not cut the weight in half tho... no need imho!! I'd be doing 12-15+ on working sets! Usually we keep em at 2-3working sets but those 12-15 aren't to failure just shy of it(maybe 2 reps shy but still struggling ya know!

**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**
Got it! So push it, but not crazy. So feeler set still, 2-3 working sets and 12-15! I got that!!! I can do that! Legs I am coming for you. Thanks for the break down!
I am sure I misunderstood Cape. Texting/messages are hard to read sometimes.
Thanks Nach for giving me details before I head into gym
Any thoughts on ECA? Just curious? Good fat burner or don't need it really? Heard lots about it.

Man, the humidity is f-in brutal today, but I'll acclimate. LOL, no choice to do otherwise in the South. Was moving a tad slow day, but again, I blame it on the humidity. Did manage a new weight on leg presses.
1 set of crunches
Leg extensions- 2 w/u. Work- 18+, drop,7+, drop, 11+. A slow 10 count hold on all partial reps.
Hacks- 2 w/u, Work-12, rest pause, 4, rest pause, 2.
Reverse hacks- 1 w/u, Work- 11, rest pause, 3, rest pause, 1.
Let press- 1 w/u, Work1 ( feet wide)- 12 rest pause, 4, rest pause, 2. New weight on these. Work2-(feet narrow)- 9, rest pause, 4.
Standing calf raises w/ a double pump @ the top- Work- 12+, rest pause, 5+, rest pause, 4+.
Seated leg curls- Work- 12,drop,8,drop,7+. A slow 10 count hold on the partial reps.
61 minutes including stripping the plates. The squat rack will be a real no-shitter this summer in my shop which is only cooled by fans and open windows and doors. Have a feeling I will have to bump my potassium dosage back up by July or August.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Just go to failure and don't use the beyond failure tools on a pullback. I think everyone does a slightly different version on a pullback and even HIT, but do stay within the general HIT scheme. I'm finding that for full HIT on legs and arms, a slightly higher rep range seems to work better for me, but my back seems to like grinding out low to middle range on reps.
During a pullback, I do as Nach posted, and find the weight where I crap put at 8-10 reps or so and if that doesn't satisfy me, I will drop an amount of weight that will allow me to jump into another set for another 8-10 reps. You may find that over time, you develop/tweak things to suit your body and recovery.
Don't fret over it too much, because you are doing very well.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Oh, this was a good lift! Have that dull, cold ache in my legs and occasionally get a few spasms. Hmmm, maybe I can hobble down to the shop early in the morning and molest my arms.

Hang in there, man. They are pretty good on bypass surgery these days. . Defo get as much rest as possible. Set the gym to the side for a few weeks if you don't need to lift for stress relief. You have a lot going on right now and the gym will be there later on.
Prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family, buddy!There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

I know what you mean. That's the way I'm feeling about my pressing right now. My weights are pathetic, but I'm trying to work through or around it. I get frustrated at times, but I refuse to give up on it. Guess being stubborn, a ginger, and a redneck just won't let me quit.

She was sick as hell refusing to not go to the gym. So yes I told her 1/2 the weight to let her work out but not make herself sicker. And have some recovery / rest. She had been to the doc twice at this point. She's still on a Z pack. She doesn't need to be going all out at this point.
D- you didn't misunderstand. I was looking out for your health.Last edited by Capebuffalo; 05-28-2017 at 03:53 PM.

Absolutely correct. When I posted my take on a pullback above, I wasn't taking into account that she has been ill recently. She probably needs to spend her time in the steam room if she goes to the gym at all.
Definitely doesn't need to push it too much while sick and run down. It will put a screeching halt to any gains and more than likely she'll end up with less than she had and still will be in a deficit as far as energy and recovery.
Have tried working through being sick before and kept pushing myself. Ended up in a very bad place.

I am way better though and will not push if I don't feel up to it. I had pneumonia 2x last year back to back to back cause I didn't take it easy. This time I am being safe. Since I am likely to get it again.
You all are the best for watching out for me

You are absolutely correct about that. Once you catch pneumonia, you are definitely more prone to get it again. I take both of the pneumonia vaccines now because pneumonia was the start of things that almost put me in skull orchard. Unfortunately, I think they are only good for ~ 1/3 of the pneumococcal bacteria strains.
