Therapist cleared me to "officially" start strength training my arm, although she was aware that I'd been working it out since before I even started PT. She gave me one of those flat bands that feel like a balloon to do tricep extensions with. I'm keeping it at the office so I can do stuff at work and home, especially since I'm working a couple of 12-hour days this week.

This last session was also my most painful one yet. She stretched my arm out to what felt like full extension and held it. I can straighten it out that much but holding it is another matter. Normally my arm just hangs at a slight bend by my side.

Went on a run at night after said 12-hour shift.

SSB box squats up to 310x5 for 3 sets yesterday, just a maintenance day.

Tricep and bicep isolation work

Great squat session I didn't record where I repped 360 on the SSB for 5 and then did 3 sets of 330 x 8. For assistance work that's heavier than what I did pre-injury.

Curls

Various tricep pressdowns and facepulls on my injured arm interspersed between the regular sets.

Some comparison pictures. Believe it or not my arm is growing a little, although you'd be hard pressed to notice here. The bicep is a little more shapely.

Lots of light reps on my right arm tonight. Pressdowns x 20, bench pressing with a martial arts bo, moving up to a 2.5 lb x 20 press, and finally up to 5 lbs x 10-13 for a few sets. Big milestone on the 5 lbs, which felt heavy.

Supersetted with various sets of pressing 5 lbs in the right arm and doing band facepulls.

Various curls, facepulls, skullcrushers

Didn't record an awesome session where I repped the 115 dumbbell for 8 reps on multiple sets.

Third physical therapy session today. Scar tissue has been breaking down and the injury site is much softer. ROM coming along nicely. Huge improvement in shoulder mobility. Attaining arm extension is lagging.

Helluva busy weekend ahead of me. Work dinner tonight, George's birthday tomorrow, niece's birthday Sunday, on top of work each day.

Girlfriend moving 3 hours away tonight for school. I'll miss her. We feasted on sushi and sake last night.

Good mornings

Physical therapy on Thursday went well. Worked on getting a full extension (not there yet) and pushing the pain boundary with supination. She lotioned my arm up and massaged the arm to break up scar tissue before we tried ROM tests again. I gained more range just from the massage. She gave me some basic exercises to do throughout the day, like overhead extensions and simply lifting the arm up and down.

My shoulder mobility is horrible and I cannot fully rotate the shoulder externally so it doesn't go back very far. Working on that by doing the motion for a barbell overhead press with both arms as best I can. As it is I can't do a real overhead tricep extension, or even raise my arm above my head fully in the first place.

I'm concerned about a hard protrusion I can feel in the elbow crease. Have only noticed it recently. Hopefully it's just scar tissue. The therapist didn't have a definite answer for it. No pain, though.

Pushing things along. First time using two hands on the handles. Have to be really careful not to push them when going heavy.
