Day 41

Arm is getting more useful and it's scary. I keep thinking that I am tearing it. The GH is at 2 iu and doing well. No red skin reactions anymore. Laser apts picked up again, and now I need some strength. Range overhead is doing well. Diet fell off today, but it is mostly under control. Trying not to go overboard on the protein. Still researching a cycle, but fairly convinced on EQ and Test. Worried about all the stuff that goes with it.

Good luck Rickey

Congratulations to Cfsj'er Rickey (6am classes.). He is getting married this weekend. I wish I had a good pic, but Marnel botched the flicker account. (I never take blame for anything.). Good luck Rickey.

Day 36

Solidly on 2 iu. Looking for the benefits. Shoulder sore but able to do do lots with it. Getting the diet under control but really need to eliminate nuts. Still exploring a cycle. Probably eq and test. Range overhead is 165-170.

Day 20

Post op went great. Dr says better than average. Getting antsy, but smart enough to not mess this up. Most importantly, I got my medicine and am ready to start this now.

It's on

Day one of all of us putting our money where our mouths are. CFSJ guinea pigs Vadim and Michael went to a mobile body fat test to set a baseline to prove that CrossFit and a decent diet can really do what we all claim that it can. Many times we say something works, but how do we really know? Well, these two will work out 5 days a week, eat healthy and post all of their numbers to beyondthewhiteboard. Check back from time to time to see how it is going.

WOD

10 thru 1
kb swings (53/36)
thrusters (95/65)
burpees
pull ups

Day 30

So a month down, 12 days into the HGH and seriously researching gear for a cycle. I am up to almost 2 iu of gh and feeling pretty good, except I messed up a shot in my arm, and I think I injected into the skin instead of under. For the next week or two I will be trying to figure out some metrics to see if this shit is actually working.

Commitment

How many of you remember the start of the burpee challenge? 88 days ago a bunch of cfsjers took on the 100 day burpee challenge, starting at 1 going to 100, and like a marathon we watched people try their best, but eventually start walking and then stop all together. With this being said, many people now have a real concept of commitment. Let's back our folks for the last 12 days.

WOD
100 back squats 60% of 1RM
Each minute stop and do 4 burpees

Day 8

So two weeks til I get my kit. Oh well. Getting some range in my shoulder, but no exercise is driving me crazy. I can feel where the deltoid was cut, which is new. I'm going to start Pt next week and keeping up with the laser.

day 5

Not too bad. Pain is really not (neither is my hgh yet) there and the arm is loosening up. It scares me a little because I am worried that I'll push it a little too far. 2nd laser treatment, and attribute the recovery to this.

Day 2

Totally off the pain meds and after a conversation with the dr, found out there was a lot more work done. In addition to the slap tear and anchors, I had a bone spur, rotator cuff damage, arthritis and bursitis that all got taken care of.

Went to the chiro for my 1st cold laser treatment. I'll let you know how that's going to progress, but I'll be going 3x per week til I'm 100%.

I'll also keep my fingers crossed that my 160 ius of hgh will show.

Not really any pain, but a raging headache all day that I attribute to the pain meds.

day 1

So after 3 hours of labrum surgery and a full day of rest (and 7 norco), I finally got to doing something about recovery...supercharged. An order of 80 ius of hgh (hopefully it will be delivered) and a dose of the cold laser will be my tomorrow. At this point, 195.7, 6'4" and hovering over 10% (more like12 realistically). We'll see how it goes.
