The role of anabolic hormones on wound healing:
Exogenous administration of these agents has been shown to maintain or increase lean body mass as well as directly stimulate the healing process through their anabolic and anticatabolic actions. Follow the link below:

Im in week 11 therapy/rehab
Below is what we are working for

Been doing hills the last few days.

About 45 minutes to an hr. Shins are dam killing me. See the ortho Wednesday. Cant wait. Need approval to start real cardio. Running/jogging etc. Gonna see if im able to do any body weight exercises.

Ive been going over some things.

Restrictions after 20 weeks are Kinda upsetting. So i am gonna have to see what kind of alternatives i have.

Therapy is dam killing me. I feel like a total newb. I push myself so hard by the time therapy/rehab is over. My arm is shaking so bad.. Lol.

So we have added many more exercises.

Everything is 3-5sec hold x2sets

Side lying external rotation with 3lb weight.

Hold for 5 sec repeat 20 reps x 2sets

Low rows with bands

Hold a band between both hands palm up in front of me , elbows at my sides. Pull outward to the sides with both hands Keeping elbows down at my side. 20 x 2sets

Standing with bands.

Elbows down to the side , hand in front of me i perform and external rotation 20 reps x2

Followed by internal rotation with band.

20rep x 2

Tricep extension 2 sets black bands

5 sec down , hold for 3 sec,...slowly retract 5 sec to starting position

Wall presses w/ towel. Forward and side.

These kill me.im so spent when doing these.

It takes everything i have to push up the wall.

I can get about 3/4 with elbow in front of my body. I cannot yet rotate my arm enough to do a proper pressing motion. Cannot get the elbow/ arm to the side of my body and hand upward as if im doing a press. It will take some time.

Bench press (lol)

Laying on my back i have a pvc 1"pipe with an ankle weight wrapped around it.

I do 25 or more presses...very slowly down and up count to about 7 each way.

Laying on my stomach on the table with my right arm hanging off the side i do a

one arm row

Reverse fly /Read delt raise

Then keeping my arm in a straightened position hanging off the table i raise my arm to my butt.. Behind me without causing pain.

Plus all my normal exercises and stim. Finish with ice.. Done in about 2 hrs

See the ortho Wednesday.

More physical and strenuous Stretching should be in the works. Also, im pushing for my cardio jogging/running and see about pushups. Evennif she will allow them from my knees i will take it.. Better than nothing.

Will update after my app.

Been a long day with the dr.

Saw the ortho today. She said im very tight. (Tendons).

She said the tear was pretty severe she is not surprised.

Gonna add in overhead pulleys. To help with range of motion and stretching the tendons.

Work Restrictions are the same. Nothing has changed for now.

So dont know what work will do or how they will react. Had to send everything to my lawyer and work. I am to continue therapy 2x a week. See her again in 8 weeks.

She said closer to 6 month range for better range of motion better flexability.. /

Im able to jog /run. Do cardio. I was told do not push the arm past the point of exhaustion.

Even discussed my trt and referred me to a dr. In house.

So as i said, all restrictions are to remain the same.

Today i was told work cannot accomadate my restrictions. So as of now im out for another 8 weeks...see ortho again in july!! Getting real rough not making money!! Been out since the beginning of feb!

Was in the process of buying a home before this surgery. So i cannot let this mess that up and affect my credit..

Today went to therapy. I am pretty dam sore.

Added in over head pulleys.

1. like doing delt raises, except using my left arm as the weight adding pressure to raise the right arm above the head in a delt raise. Hold for 5 sec.

2. Like a shoulder press. Using the left arm again as the weight and pulling and stretching out the right arm into a shoulder press motion. Hold for 5 sec.

Elbow isnt fully to the side while doing this but much farther then it has been.

This also helps rotating the arm/hand upward while my elbow is out toward the side.

3. One arm tricep ext. While holding a towel behind my back. The left hand is doing the extension upward above the head. While the right hand is holding onto the towel (trying to get motion going backward).

The goal is to be able to take the right arm and bend it behind your back. Hand aboit midway up your back..

Presently i cannot get my right hand even behind my butt cheek.. It sucks badly...

This was the worse of the three .. Painful is an understatement.

Therapist Did a lot more physical stretching me out and pushing my limits to the side and beyond my head... Im obliterated... Totally wiped out.

Also continue other exercises.

Will do foam rolling tonight and throughout the weekend to keep loose and also use a tennis ball behind and around my scapula.
