OK week 9 post surgery. Just returned from rehab.

a few weeks ago my grip strength was 88# they measured it at 128# today

PT said I am way ahead of protocol but with the surgeons blessing they have added more weights and they have tripled the number of routines I have to do... so 3-4 hours per day is what I'm up to:faint:

I did one hour of lifting and learning the proper way to do the new lifts oy..
now I'm at the level where the last few reps of every cycle burns a bit

Man... I love it!!!!

Just make sure you're working out the other arm too. Don't wanna look all contorted and stuff

no free weights, everything is done on a machine where I can have my good arm take over the load if needed but it also works everything symmetrically

this is what I have at home
