Yes, I know from your thread you were not able to make it to the stage. None of us would have been able to make it to the stage. We all are lucky to only deal with one nagging body part when prepping. You have a grocery list of body parts working against you. I think at one point you said your PT guy and you "had it". I was thinking then really becasue if you need that much PT the problem most likley was greater then anything a PT guy can fix.
I'm glad you are at the beginning and going to start fresh and put one leg in front you you and see how it all goes.
My experience has been to have had so much arthritis in my right shoulder my ROM was dying a quick death. I bit the bullet and let the doc scope the shit out of that shoulder. 1hr 45 minutes worth. Now it is 10 freaking post op. I still cant reach behind my back. I have been PTing my ass off. I'm a bb too. I have to be able to train the full body. I need to do a lat spread,. rear Dbi and all the posses. Could I ever start a prep like this hell no. It sucks.
baby steps my friend. Find a way back but it will be journey. Still best of luck in all you do.

I never competed this year. I knew it was to much for my body. I hope I can heal and get back on stage. I want to be fit not just look fit because that was what I was.
