Glad to have you back. I was wondering why you had.nt posted for a couple of weeks. I took alittle time off but only because I had finals and two projects due. That is a lot easier than going through an auto accident. Just count your blessings and come back slowly.

Sorry to read about your accident Z, but it's good to have you back. I don't post a whole lot in people's logs, but I follow a lot of them and I especially enjoy reading ones put up by some of of our "experienced" folk. Your work capacity and your ability to recover between workouts is impressive. I'm sure it helped with your recovery from your accident as well.

Post by zimbo415 on Apr 27, 2011 20:56:51 GMT -5
My thumb was badly bruised in an auto accident 5 weeks ago. I could not even pick up a dinner plate the first couple of days after I bruised it getting better though about 40 percent now.

Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. Just try to go slowly, which I know is hard to do sometimes.

I have been watching your logs and was curious about how your thumb feels now. Your squat and deadlift don't seem to be to far off. Do you have any competitions planned in the near future. Have you ever lifted in a 100% Raw federation meet?

My thumb still has a long way to go, pulling deads does not bother it to much. I am benching twice a week and increase my single by 10 pounds every workout. I am going to do a Son Light Power Meet the last of June not expecting any PRs but just doing it for fun. Never lifted in a 100% Raw meet but if there is ever one in the area will try it. The 2 feds I lift in are the USAPL and SLP.

Looks like you are getting back on the right track. I know I probably sound like one of your parents but just try not to over do it

Felt great today, on my last set of deads from the floor I was only going to do 465 once but it felt so good that I decided to do one more. My form felt really dialed in. My pinching keeps getting stronger also with my 2-25s felt strong.
