Still Broken After All These Years

Tiny super jock - more broken then ever.
but Im back .

quick synapsis - I’m 50 - and about to embark on a short 6 week neck PT.
C3 and C4 finally took a shit

I don’t really ‘lift’ any more- just a shit ton of push ups - kettle bell fuckery
pullups etc, and loaded rucks.
not that exciting.

Still black t-shirt anger , still working stupid hours.
Either its huge concerts - or slow TV shoots.

Still live work and play in NYC
used to post here as kmcnyc and bagofbro.

oh and I cook

bw ? 175

I did a 4.2 mile 60lb ruck in about 2 hours.
It sucked.

I did 100 push-ups
A shot ton of bpas.
And a bunch of mobility/ pvc pipe lx ball
Mostly for my thoracic - and trying to loosing this neck.

a week ago DR asked me about the pain - and I said when I look up and open my mouth I see stars.
She was like uhm - that’s pretty good.
It’ hurts less. Ow but literally can’t turn it side to side - very little mobility.

Can you incorporate some band training? I used to poo-poo the damn things, but they’re incredibly useful and versatile. They’re ain’t a damn thing you can’t do with them, and they allow you to make micro-adjustments on the fly so as to not cause joint ouchies.

Hey thank you - for popping in .

Bands are great- use the allot from BPA’s to face pulls , push downs etc,
and for lower body mobility stuff, you are so right they are so versatile.

I hope your neck PT helps. You’d need to add 40 more lbs to your ruck to be carrying my BW around. :grin:

I don’t know if this is something you’re interested in, but they have a specialist on the site who is looking at movement videos to try to help with pain:

Swimming cures all. Except drowning, it doesn’t cure drowning. Miss you, good to hear from you again.

more set backs -

MRI was pretty revealing - C3 C4 have all the goo squeezed out
I have a good bit of arthritis- in C3-C5 and Dr- was very curious about my neck.

we discussed injuries old and new and she very curious about my work .
I explained that I live in
cervical extension ( looking up ) vs flexion ( looking down)

We spoke risk reward - and went the PT route
the other option was a series of epidurals with no known results.

just as PT started I did something to my fucked knee - and hip.
that was a well over 6 weeks ago and its just now returning.

somehow I know have bone on bone on my hip - go figure.

work- always work
its back to 75 percent television on location - and 25 percent concerts.
but I get all I can .

did a 60 hour work week - and now doing three day run of concerts.

put I did manage 100- 140 pull-ups daily for 5 days.
a shit ton of band work -
BPA TKE and banded push downs - face pulls etc.

Ive just been about to do kb swings- as my hp is kinda fucked.

this m morning did 5x10 judo pushups and 5x10 swings with just a 25lb

and I did a kb complex same as always.

will try to ramp up some kind of training- and get some more constant work in.

Right about then is when the phrase “What was I thinking” pops in your head. Yeah, back in the days when we were all 10 ft tall and bulletproof. 140 pull ups a day is still very respectable.
