Congrats on your recovery. I just went through a rehab period of almost 1 1/2 years because of a shoulder issue. I had about a three month period in there where I could lift free weights, the rest was spent on machines or very light db's.

Great job big man...

Tore my hamstring in December and a reinjury in February. Finally pulled an easy 623 the other day, squatted 607 x 2, 495 x 8, and took a grand on the Super Yoke for 25'. I'm coming back slowly...but surely.

Congrats on your recovery brother!! Good to see your back! I know how it is. Im just now getting back myself. Ive been adding the 5X5 routine (with extra volume) into my chest routine, and I like the progress so far. This week is 290 for 5X5. Hope to get it over 300 soon, and then I should be close to where I was (315x7,275x15,325x5.370x1). Inclines are finally catching up again too. Stay pumped for that 405!!
