Subject: Re: WEIGHT LIFTING & STRENGTH TRAINING THREAD by smooth on 2012/7/4 15:30:30 Pretty simple goals really. I lost 60 lbs when I had my first stemcell transplant and large amounts of muscle mass. That was three years ago and my recovery has graced me with 20 pounds since that awful time. I'm 6'1" and run 207. My goal is just to gain some upperbody strength and get around my back issues. I had a compression fracture T3 level that was repaired with kyphoplasty however there is still evidence of compression in my lower back. I have a machine that allows anything from Tricept pulldowns to leg presses and free weights from my son's football days. I was thinking something like this: sitting curls (over and underhand) tricept pulldowns some bench pressing and butterflys for the chest I'm pretty sedintary right now and completely out ofshape so starting light I'm sure is key. Running is out due to the back. I'll be happy to firm up my chest and arms. As For the Testosterone, I was on Androgel for 3 months and my levels went from 210 to 223...virtually no change, so, the doc decided to go injectable and like I told you before, I can feel the difference. I'm only 9 weeks into this therapy and Bloodwork/Liver function tests are number 1 in this Doc's regimine. I'm due in about 2 weeks. He's shooting for 900 to 1000, so I know he will up the dose ....I just need to find a way to take advantage of it. |
