L BHR Mr Treacy Part2

[hernanu]

I haven't been on here in forever but it's great to read that you're doing well.  I've been doing a ton more which has been awesome.  I'm back to training BJJ 2 days/week, hitting the gym hard (mostly upper body) and even kicking without much issue.  My range of motion is improving and I know when I push things too hard because my hip will be sore.  I'm not doing anything stupid but I def. feel 1000 times better.  I can't believe Nov. 6th will be 1 year already.  Can't believe how quickly time flies.

Hey Pete! Awesome to hear you're doing well. You've still got even more good things ahead - I'm back to some pretty hard kicks now, the ROM is improved quite a bit to the point where it really is just like regular stretching.

1 year soon?!?!? Both you and Danny are really vets now. I saw Dr. Snyder last month for my 2 year, won't see him for another two now.

Yeah hern just checked my diary and it's 45 weeks tomorrow! 7 more till 1 year!!! Just done a really easy kettle bell, static bike and shadow boxing session at home. Still a long way to go but I'm making quantifiable progress now!  ;D

[hernanu]

That's awesome, Danny - it's been a stretch. Just shows that healing is the first priority, but getting your muscles back in line is a strong second. Very cool that you're getting there   8) ;D.

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks hern! My muscles defiantly have some healing/normalising to do but hay life's one long journey so I'll get there! :D

[Dannywayoflife]

46 weeks today! Well I celebrated with a tough gym session(still non impact) mostly kettlebells and some light bag work. Really looking forward to being able to push the boundaries in the new year! 

[hernanu]

Sounds great, Danny - how's the hip doing on the different punches?

[Dannywayoflife]

Erm it still feels weak but it's so so. My tfl was sore yesterday but I'm slowly getting there!

[Anna]

Nice one Danny. Keep it up :)

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks Anna! We just need to get you sorted now!  ;)

[Mike D]

Nice progress, Danny.
What you and hern don't know about muscles isn't worth knowing! I know who's ears to bend if I get any grief.

[Dannywayoflife]

Ha unfortunately mike I just regurgitate what my best mate tells me! He's the true soft tissue expert!

[Dannywayoflife]

Just done 45 mins on the spin bike and a few sets with the kettlebells;) now doing some icing.

[hernanu]

Good stuff, Danny. Everyone seems to be using the kettlebells.

I only used them one summer when I was fourteen; I was working out with boxers at the local boxing gym near me, they used them every day. I left them behind since no one had them at the other gyms, and now they're everywhere.

[Dannywayoflife]

Kettlebells are awesome hern! There a cardio work out and a weight session in 1! :D

[Dannywayoflife]

49 weeks today! Still managing an hour of low intensity cardio every night after work :) still strengthening and improving

[hernanu]

Awesome, Danny. I was still improving quite a bit by one year, keep the faith and pass the guiness.  8)

[Anna]

Nice one Danny  :)

[Mike D]

I like it, Danny. Strengthening and improving. Cool.

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks guys like I say I'm still improving I think that my FULL recovery time will be around the 2 year mark not the 1 year I initially thought.
You a guiness man hern?

[hernanu]

I am, Danny, among others; sometimes by itself, more likely in combination with Bass ale or blueberry ale (black and blue).

I do range around, though - currently since it's fall in New England, the local breweries are going nuts with pumpkin beers and I follow, since I am a slave to flighty trends. Yes, I did wear platform shoes and polyester in the disco era and power suits in the 80's. Not proud of it, but there it is.

I usually only drink draft beers, though - the fresher the better.
