Nice!
I will past my answer from before, as I have no new thoughts on this!
In other words, don't be more afraid to "overtrain" just because you've had a stroke or brain surgery. Ideally, work with a coach to adjust your training according to your goals and to manage fatigue as you go. I am not sure if there is any evidence on this, or if it has been studied, but it makes sense to me to focus on bilateral work. That way the weak side of your brain gets help from the other side, and this mirroring may help you to recover and reinforce movement patterns on the damaged side. Sure, do some dumbbell work when you want, but don't avoid the barbell.
I think that "don't avoid the barbell" is pretty much solid advice for any kind of rehab, at least based on what I read around here from smart experienced people like Will M.
Keep kicking butt, Paul.
Thanks! I continue to improve!
I got an eye examine yesterday. Good news very little change, so I did not get new glasses. I continue to improve even the left side! This is exciting!
Tax software is loaded, so ready to work!
It takes more than one day for me to recover now. I am going to adjust my schedule.
Sat I did bench press (better range of motion), deadlift, and safety bar squats.
Nice work Paul!
One of the main reasons I check the board these days is to see how Breakfast-Paul is doing.
