Doc sounds legit to me, breh. Good rapport means a lot

The way I found my surgeon was through referrals. My sports doc of 10yrs sent me to his partner. Come to find out his partner works/worked with professional teams in Philly (Eagles, Flyers, 76ers). It was a no brainer at that point. Still looked him up and all that jazz, dude checked out. Simple google search and browsed as many sites as possible.

I like surgeons that understand the requirements of physically active individuals rather than the ones that operate on old people all day. I don't think I would've gotten 5 sutures from a regular surgeon.

That's pretty much what he said to me. He was like... Look you can easily say no to the procedure. I'm not going to push it on you because I understand it's still surgery. But you seem like a guy who is not going to be ok not playing sports and not working out and not picking up your kids for the rest of your life. And when you change your mind in 10 years the damage will probably be worse and the recovery will be longer.

I told him #2 is coming in July then I'm moving into my new crib shortly after and he pretty much guaranteed me that if I follow thru I'll be good enough to at least pick up kids and move boxes and on my way to throwing iron around again by then

Thank again for all the input.

Anytime, breh. You'll bounce back as strong as ever. Good luck.

i'm upping this thread because the time has come. i can no longer lurk, hiding in the shadows, reading other posters' logs, watching krack junior throw better jabs than i can, reading the random thoughts thread pretending i'm still keeping up, fronting like i still look like my pics from 2013 in the starting point thread. i must hold myself fully accountable. it is w great sadness and a heavy heart that i say to you all today, i have let my brehbrehs in fitness down. to @The ADD , @Serious , @krackdagawd , @GinaThatAintNoDamnPuppy! , @Spliff , @MMSex , @puppetmaster , @Walt , @Malta and fukk it even you @Soundwave

i've been eating recklessly, drinking unnecessarily, sleeping inconsistently, and making it to the gym sporadically at best. i have regressed in completely unacceptable ways and for that i offer my most heartfelt, deepest and sincerest apologies.

i made myself a promise that the change would start this past monday. instead of committing to anything too intense or rigid i'm going to start slowly. just counting calories and macros in general again, cutting back on the booze, and a general weekly cycle of power lower/power upper/hyp lower/hyp upper, hopefully w a day of cardio thrown in each week. minus the 2 drinks i had watching the met game last night i think i've been doing pretty well thus far.

went back to rack pulls instead of conv deads this week. i need to focus on stretch out my lower back and hams a little more before pulling heavy off the floor. i start off at lower weight the right way but once i hit my top sets i can tell im rounding a touch at the bottom. need to work of that w more band work.

diet has been pretty good, not great. only 3 days of drinking last week which is an accomplishment for me lately smh
