In this episode of the Over 40 Fitness Hacks podcast, Brad Williams discusses his experience of returning to the gym after completing rehab for a SLAP tear (shoulder injury). After receiving the green light from his physical therapist, Brad shares his cautious approach to reintroducing weight training. He emphasizes the importance of asking doctors the right questions about what exercises are safe to continue during injury recovery, advocating for keeping active rather than complete rest.
Brad outlines his three-week process of easing back into the gym with a focus on light weights and controlled movements, gradually increasing intensity while monitoring his shoulder. He highlights the importance of not rushing recovery, citing previous experiences with injuries, such as his back surgery, where pushing too hard too soon caused setbacks. His approach included maintaining leg workouts during upper body rehab to preserve muscle mass and using targeted shoulder rehab exercises.
Throughout his recovery, Brad also stressed the importance of diet, particularly protein intake, to prevent muscle loss. By keeping his diet and training in check, he experienced noticeable gains in muscle even with reduced weights. He also mentions his use of stem cell patches from LifeWave to aid in the healing process and expresses optimism about their effectiveness in his recovery.
Brad concludes by encouraging listeners to take their time in recovery, listen to their bodies, and gradually reintroduce strength training to avoid reinjury. He emphasizes that, with the right approach, muscle memory will help them bounce back to their previous fitness levels.
