I am going fucking cray cray with laying around the entire day :joy: Day three after surgery and I canā€™t already take it anymore :sob:
So, despite still having my sutures I did some seated exercises today, to do at least something.

14 Arm Raises (3 sets)
12 Rhomboid Pulls (3 sets)
14 Side Arm raises (3 sets)
26 Arm Scissors
10 Reclined Rhomboid Squeezes (2 sets)

Physiotherapy wonā€™t start before the new year, so I decided to pick up on light training sessions in the mean time. I am still in a considerable amount of pain but when youā€™re going out of body and you decide to use it for a jog instead of unearthing the secrets of the seen and unseen worldā€¦you know that its bad.

So I am currently slowly breaking up the scar tissue in the depth of my foot with plantar flex exercises and massages while carefully building up a bit of strength in the left leg with terraband exercises as well.

Today I also did:
10 Hamstring curls on each leg
10 Minisquats
15 Hamstring Heel digs
10 Standing Heel raises (they are the fucking worst)
15 Straight leg lifts

I finished the session with 4 sets of 4 Knee Push ups, one set of 6 incline Push Ups on my knees and one set of 4 Wide Arm Push Ups on my Knees.

A little bit of freedom :smiling_face_with_tear:

Update 12/18/2023 (canā€™t write more than 3 answers)

Light exercises, to come into the flow after surgery and a respiratory infection (I shouldnā€™t have to say that but NEVER exercise with infected lung tissue if you havenā€™t spoken to your doc about it. I got greenlighted today). I am starting my exercises now with 8ish minutes of stretching exercises for my upper body. Walking on crutches for such a long time fucked with my body static and I need to strengthen and straighten out my spine :melting_face: On the plus side, it made me keep some strength in my arms

Anyway, this is wonderwall

15 Hamstring Curls on each leg
10 Minisquats
15 Hamstring Heel Digs
10 Standing Heel raises
15 Straight leg lifts
20 sec. of Jumping Jacks
6 Incline Push Ups (2 sets)
4 Knee Push Ups (2 sets)
4 Push Ups (2 sets)
4 Wide Arm Push Ups
20 seconds of Bhujangasana (finally!!!)
20 seconds of Chest stretches

Its hard to say if I will ever regain any kind of sensation or control back into my left forefoot; apparently some nerves need to reconnect but its not certain that they will or how long it will take. I will simply tag along with exercises now. My physio starts in January, maybe I will learn some new things :sweat_smile:

@DarkestKnight , there. Are you satisfied now? :joy:

In between I have received lots of physical therapy for my foot. The scar tissue gave me plenty of problems in the beginning but I think I have evened it out in the deeper layers by now. My lower back muscles melted into nothingness over the amount of bedrest I had to have and I am currently building that shit back up before I hit the weights at some point.

I am currently bringing 66,6kg ( :sunglasses: ) onto the scale; I have thought about losing two more kilos to hit that sweet spot in between ā€œfeel good weightā€ and still bringing some weight into my movements.

Today was a simpler more gentle workout, without all that push up, press and pull up work. I was sore and with calisthenics the injury risk is high doing things in uncomfortable positions so today I focused on other things. Lean and hold time the basics of high level stuff without much repping.

Superset one and only for 10 times.
Light band planche lean to downward dog for 5 reps - I managed to do a full planche for the first time in the first rep of the sets.
Light band touch front lever raises 5 reps, then fall into a normal front lever and do another 5 reps.

A good day.

Currently doing isometric holds with bodyweight and towels (around 30 seconds a time), followed by reps to failure of a similar exercise with bodyweight or strong resistance bands. Itā€™s a full body routine every day, completed within about 30 mins at most, with some variations in the chosen exercises. Iā€™m enjoying it, itā€™s good to not need a gym or any real equipment, and the strength benefits are showing themselves quickly.
I do some variation on a push, pull, abdominal hold, a shoulder/traps-focused exercise then finishing with either maximally tensed wall sits or an isometric deadlift. The NoLimitsSquad channel on YouTube has got a lot of info on this stuff, itā€™s great if you have limited time and no easy gym access.
My efforts are being fuelled by an audio ritual creation thatā€™s helping me put more into each workout. Iā€™ve already linked it in the Bodybuilding Magick Square thread (as it was inspired by it) and donā€™t want to spam it, if anyone wants to give it a go youā€™re welcome to. Itā€™s designed for boosting strength and muscle gain, Iā€™ve felt good drive and energy from it too, may more of you find it of benefit for your goals also.

Since I almost got into a fistfight with a drugged asshole in broad daylight over not exactly being okay with him kicking the head of a woman that was laying on the ground already (chapeau to all those other assholes that walked by and did nothing, let some small woman with a miniskirt and high heels deal with it amirite. Fucking pathetic) I decided to sign up for two months of Krav Maga starting in April. I will post these sessions here as well then.

Thatā€™s terrible. Fuck this guy. I personally put my Magick hand when I see things like this, justice must be served.

And Krav maga is amazing, I like it more than MMA tbh.

Fuck this guy, but fuck every other able bodied and grown up person that stared and walked away or drove off too. This dude was with 4 other men but they gladly didnā€™t get involved. It was super stupid of me to get this close with someone like that when being alone but holy fuck, humanity really flies out of the window fast if you do nothing at all to stop the situation from escalating further. I am still more in shock about that than about throwing hands a little, to be honest.

I am really excited for this course, there will also be trainings about situations that involve the other person having a knife and stuff like that. I wanted to sign up for self defense some time ago but I suppose that this day was really a push towards finally doing it :melting_face:

Different workout today.

MMA/ Krav maga (depends which day I have free time to go) calisthenics, running are demanding enough but my body could not partake the all mighty sitting that I been doing because I was writing, studying and video games. Videos games fucked me more than studying and writing on the computer.

In the last two days I been suffering from upper back pain, yesterday I pushed through it by running 5k+MMA.
Today I took the pain signal seriously, I need to back off.

So i only did this stretching session

Which perfect plus additional hanging and thoracic spine extension.

It is a good time to back off as now I approach a new big ritual for beleth which I fast dor seven days starting from Sunday.
In the seven day fast, I donā€™t workout because I want my body to be healthy and functional and not injury ridden as I have no things to recover from workouts.

Note on Fasting activities.
I refrain from strainous work that is calisthenic because it is requires nutrition for tendon and muscle recovery so after working out and not feeding I am actually making myself week.
I focus more on aerobic activities during fasting like Krav Maga ( in my classes we focus on combinations and punches rather than a workout circuits in MMA)
And running too, 3k is enough.

I stretch way more. I meditate more, I enter my literal monk mode. I am way more spiritual active during fasting season.
I refrain completely from the world, I am good with staring at my ceiling and count my mala beads.

I am FINALLY done with testing out my foot post-surgery. I think I am fit enough to start with light lifting exercises and more precise foot/leg work the next couple of exercises. About damn time, I need to get these stumpy nubs back into more action asap. I wonā€™t wait for the newest x-rays at the end of this month :triumph:

Still continuing with the isometric routine, Iā€™ll switch up some of the exercises if I feel like I could benefit from it but the format feels like it works. Itā€™s helped to be able to go full force with them, most workouts of mine prior to this were high rep to failure or using slow eccentrics so my strength didnā€™t get properly tested, now itā€™s increased a lot. Grip strength is noticeably higher too. My slight change to the workouts is doing partial reps to failure after the 3rd isometric hold for each exercise, it creates a really good pump in the target muscle and feels like a change Iā€™ll stick with.

My audio ritual is helping, Iā€™ve made decent gains so far and have lost a bit of fat, despite my diet straying a little towards bulking every now and then. Focus during workouts is up too, itā€™s helped me go to failure each time and to feel like Iā€™m wringing every bit of effort out of my muscles with each hold.
