Bad luck
Just when my motivation couldn’t be higher and when gains are coming fast and furious, things come screaching to a halt. Throughout preparations for the 2007 contests I had significand left shoulder pain, but I modified my exercises and was able to train with enough intensity to get the job done. Little things were becoming more difficult to do, like putting a shirt on or reaching for things. On Thursday I decided to get an MRI on the shoulder, hoping it would be just inflammation of the tendon or bursa. Unfortunately my worst fear came true, and it showed a full thickness tear of the supraspinatus, the main muscle of the rotator cuff. This means surgery followed by wearing a sling for four to six weeks. I think the hardest thing to immagine is not exercising for that period, as anyone who bodybuilds knows its basically an obsession!
Living in New Jersey I’m planning on going into New York for the surgery, as the best orthopedic doctors work out of The Hospital for Special Surgery. I’m hoping to go under the knife as soon as possible to get this behind me and continue my progression for next season. Wish me luck
