First Workout Since Surgery

July 8th, 2008 kNuke Posted in ACL Surgery Adventure | No Comments »

I went back to the gym for the first time since my surgery.  I did a bench press-pullup superset, forward raise-lateral raise-dumbell press superset, and tricep extension-barbell curl superset.  Boy was I gassed.  I can’t remember the last time I was time gassed after a workout. 

I finished up with some bodyweight squats, leg raises, and 10 minutes on the elliptical.  A decent first day back.  I need to build my endurance back up; the good thing was my strength wasn’t too far down.

I took my bodyfat percentage using a caliper and the Suprailiac measurement, which is one inch above my right hipbone; not good.  I was anywhere between 18-24% bodyfat.  This is the most bodyfat I’ve carried since I can remember.  Time to start dieting and hitting the gym!
