matt.be Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 :evil: Freakin snapped (yeah in two) my lower humerous bone in my arm last night! I can safely say no training upper body for 3 months, and probably another 3-6 months of rehab after that. I am PISSED :evil: Anyone else come back from an injury like this?Guess ill just have to build some freakish legs, bring on Smolov bitches!/rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBundy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Keep training the unbroken arm and imagine lifting with the broken one while doing it. Research to show that it can help reduce the amount of atrophy in the broken arm.How did you break it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 That sux! But I'm with Al Bundy, keep on training what you can. There will be quite a bit yo can do, to prevent total disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wif Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 my injury was a little different. Smashed my ankle. 7 bones in one go! 6 weeks in plaster (managed to avoid having it pinned) then 10 weeks rehab. i keept training what i would a made a full recovery to compete Nats the same year! power of positive thinking is a biggie! Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGus Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm similar to wif. I snapped my ankle wrestling in May 08 at the very start of a match, thought I'd just rolled it so kept walking, stomping and jumping on it... til the adrenalin wore off back stage and I was in agony. 1 week in hospital waiting for the swelling to go down so they could operate. 5 pins and a plate, 6 weeks in plaster and then another 12 weeks rehab before I was back squatting ATG on it. 1 week out of the hospital and I was in the gym 3 times a week on crutches doing upper body and abs. Had no issues since apart from the odd sore ankle after running. Train what you can and don't do anything that could set your rehab back. All the best for a speedy recovery.

matt.be Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 my injusy was a little different. Smashed my ankle. 7 boys in one go! 6 weeks in plaster (managed to avoid having it pinned) then 10 weeks rehab. i keept training what i would a made a full recovery to compete Nats the same year! power of positive thinking is a biggie! Good luck to you.Thanks mate, Yeah managed to avoid surgery also, that would have involved some pins, and cutting back the tricep to insert them-would have been bad news.I'll try the one arm excercises and see how it goes, I've always been a mind over matter kind of guy, so that sounds good.How did i do it ?........Arm wresling a guy twice my size :oops: Muscles were strong enough to hold him off but obviously the bone wasnt, just heard a big snap and suddenly the arm went limp. :oops: Ego got the better of me this time.

rose Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 just heard a big snap and suddenly the arm went limp :shock: Are you claiming ACC? :pfft: Good luck with the healing. Is it a spiral fracture or clean snap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a spiral fracture or clean snap?Cheers, I've paid my fair share off taxes so a few days of work may be in order. :nod: Its a spiral fracture, which makes sense given that was the direction of the torque placed on my arm.

Calvin Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Remember there is still potential for growth without working it, but working other muscles. Heavy squats will produce GH which will benefit your whole body .. not just your legs. Keep training hard and heavy and eat equally as well and not all will be lost.Good luck with recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
