  • Motivation: My Pre-Surgery Prep Plan

    Motivation: My Pre-Surgery Prep Plan

    Going into this I knew I needed a plan, just like I followed training and diet plans, I’ve now needed one that will test me mentally more than anything else before. Depression and feeling “down in the dumps” is was not going to be an option. I’d be back, and contrary to what some less-optimistic on the surgery say, I’d be back stronger.

    ENTRY TWO: Approx. Late Nov/Early Dec 2013

    I’m 174 lbs, 5% body fat, have a 6 minute mile, a 400+ lb deadlift, and countless other high level PR records. This is definitely not an exciting time going into surgery. I’ll be out of the game for months.

    THE POSITIVE OUTLOOK

    Become a runner

    Focus on work

    Give the joints a rest

    Detox from supplements

    Slightly Change diet

    Hit the reset button

    It’s a test of what I’m made of

    KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER

    Rehab, rehab, rehab

    Diet/nutrition

    Supplementation

    Positive attitude

    Alternative training and build up weaknesses.
