Olympic Gym is a good place to go. It's centrally located (near 281/410) and can pay for a single day's workout, or a month, and both rates are inexpensive. If you need other recommendations, PM me.

I've gone through this same injury, and the surgery to reattach the tendon. I don't know any suggestions for an un-operated injury like this, but I have plenty of suggestions for a post surgery...

Texan Latino.

Good luck with the recovery.

Wow, that's a tough thing to go through, and it seems like you appreciate the time you spent with him and the time you have with your family today.

Glad I could help. You'll find that the hardest thing to overcome is the desire to get stuck feeling sorry for yourself as you go through the recovery, but if you just focus on the idea that you'll...

I guess it's been a bit since I've posted some progress, so thanks for asking. I'm doing well, mobility is improving and strength is slowly returning. Just today I hit a few golf balls at the...

Normally i can figure out what you're pissed off about. This time i have no idea who made the mistake or what it is.[/QUOTE]

I don't think mstrofbass needs my help explaining things (and I'm...

I wouldn't call lowering the weight after a tendon rupture as carefully as I can "controlling" the weight. I just did the best I could with it.

As for the rupture itself, from what I've learned...

Dude, I would defer to your doctor, but you need to get an MRI to determine if there's a tear, and if so whether it's partial or complete. If you have a tear, I believe surgery to reattach the...

The tear occurred during the "up" of my 4th rep of my second set. I was working out alone in my home gym, so I lowered the weight as slowly as I could and dumped one side then the other.

I'm 42...

I've tried this preworkout supplement, and besides tasting like shit it isn't effective. I've also tried the Jack3d supplement, which I like and bought a few extra tubs just in case it's...

Sorry amigo, nothing helpful to offer. Maybe Carlos will read this and help shed some light.

I had to have surgery to reattach the tendon from its point of insertion 6 weeks ago and I just got cleared to lose the sling. I can't "lift" weights for another 6 weeks, but I can perform exercises...

Hmm, I recently ruptured my pectoral tendon during bench press, and your situation doesn't sound the same as mine, but yet sounds serious in a whole different way. I think that anytime you hear/feel...

Thanks for that amigo, but right now I'm just doing my own body weight, or at most light dumbbells. I'm amazed at how the pec can be even peripherally involved in most movements.

7/19 - 6 week post op doctor's appt went well. I have good ROM, no sequela rotator cuff issues, and I've been cleared to drop the sling (which I did on my own anyway 2 days ago).

Surprisingly,...

Good tips, and thanks for the good wishes!

I think I'll be able to ride a bike in a few weeks, but need to ease into it because it requires placing my weight on my hands which needs to occur slowly. Or at least that's what my doc tells me and...

7/13 - today marks the beginning of my 6th week post surgery. I've been working, slowly, on ROM and function with 5lb db curls, hand slides (straight out and back), pendulum swings, and rotator cuff...
