Surgery

[Sklander]

I just found out I have a SLAP tear of my left labrum. Super pissed off. I had been planning a cycle of hella for about 2 months now...

Been seeing really great ortho past week and MRI revealed the bad news. Question...

What would YOU do in this situation? Would you have the surgery asap (4-6 months full strength)? Say **** the surgery and run the cycle... focusing on body weight stuff? I need advice guys...

I am 23, 5'11" and 182lbs. Done one cycle before and the shoulder came out during a 60lb dumb bell military lift. I feel that if I do not get this **** fixed I will never be able to run a successful cycle ever again... I can't not lift while on cycle...

Advice?

ive been in a surgery situation before as well and it blows, but what i did, and my advice is to have the surgery, suck it up, and save the cycle for later down the road when u can train at ur max.

whats the point of running the cycle, gaining muscle, then having the surgery and losing everything?

my cycle was easily put off 6 months, but while i was recovering i focused on cleaning up my diet so when i got back in the gym and eventually ran my cycle, i looked waaaaaaay better than i did before having the surgery.

dude get healthy and get the full effect from your cycle. and imho halo isnt worth the trouble.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah... everything just changed brother.

I am thinking of waiting to have the surgery over christmas so I can take it easy, etc.

I am thinking of running an Epi only cycle and concentrating on cardio, cutting, all body weight, etc.

Opinions on this?

if the injury is hindering u to the point where u cant even put 90% into some lifts, then i wouldnt waste my time using steroids while cutting.

and not to be a d!ck, but with ur stats if u arent already at a decent ~12%bf then i wouldnt even consider steroids right now

15%bf atm due to inactivity bc of shoulder injury. I can do pull ups, machine rows, planks, etc... Still trying to decide... Gonna go to the gym today and see what everything feels like.

The surgery seems like such a last resort, but from y'alls experience, if a shoulder comes out doing military once it is going to happen again, eh?

Thanks for the advice, bros, gonna get a couple more opinions on the situation also. I'll report back.

i had the same surgery done, but waited two years between the time of injury and surgery. kept lifting a cycling until it was too much pain where i had to get it looked at.

get the surgery done ASAP. my shoulder has never been the same strength and stamina wise, since the surgery but the longer u wait and the more u lift and put stress on it, the worse it will get. which was my situation. i started out with a simple tear, then it became a full tear across the entire labrum, structural damage and bursitis also. just get it done. also, i wouldnt cycle after you have fully recovered, for at least another 6 months after that. u need to get used to working out again because u wont be able to for about 4 months. it sucks, but get it done.
