Wildcat Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 After a long five months of barely being able to work out, I am back to squatting 65 lbs! That's not really exciting until you know that I couldn't do even bodyweight squats four months ago. I tried, and called my chiro the next day to put me back together. At that time, I had a nasty case of trochanteric bursitis (hip bursa), sacroilliitis, and a tight, inflamed IT band. After three months of physical therapy, I'm finally as close to 100% as dedicated P/T will take me and I'm back to doing it on my own.Three weeks ago, after about a month of successful and increasing bodyweight squats, I finally picked up the bar and did three sets of ten with just the measly bar. I concentrated on form and made it through. The next day I could barely walk up the stairs at work, but the next week I tried again, and this week I added 20 lbs to the bar, just as an experiment. I did four sets of ten, so I'm going to add some more weight next week, as long as I can keep my form. P.S. I'm getting married! Time to double down so I look fantastic in my wedding dress! Three months! May the odds be ever in your favor! I have a blog. It can be found here: http://wildcatspeaks.blogspot.com. I put my training up here, accomplishments, how many times I've vacuumed this week, etc. Link to comment
Georges Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Sweet! Nothing feels as good as coming back from injury (even when it's frustrating). Congrats! This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was. Maybe it will be here again when I'm ready to face the scale and work on my fat problem.
