Solid workout on the shoulders bro. Any reason for not pyramiding like you have been?

[prowrestler]

shoulders....yay

[soulspline]

[Enforcer]

UniversalUSA.com - Monday - Back (http://www.universalusa.com/Users/Members/C.Coronato/Blog/Monday-Back2?ref=1881)

Im saying next Monday you and I hit a back session together, shoot me a text or PM and let me know

[C.Coronato]

how is the knee? something you might try as it helped me tons. you can go to walmart and get a knee brace by mueller, it has a donut and some little bending braces medial and lateral and velcros on so it is easier to get on and off. offers great support to the knee and is a hell of a lot cheaper than the semicustom ones and works well. looks kind of cheesey but what the hell if it works, right? i wasnt smart enough to use one before surgery but i used it afterwards as i went back to work a few days after. it helped me to feel more stabile when i was injecting the horse joints.

Yea i actually picked up something like that from Sports Authority, it is a McDavid one. Works well, thanks!


Nice work C! Where are yall getting the Agent O? No more for us non Universal individuals? =/

I just had some still left over from the testing! Im almost out, i cant wait to get some more!!

Haha, not massive yet!

When doing incline on the smith, how far up on ur torso do u place the bar when coming down? I find a little to close to the neck puts a lot of uneeded pressure on my delts, any tips?

How much of an angle do you have the seat at? I have played around with it alot, and i like it pretty low but obviously still on an incline, probably at a 150 degree angle. Then i bring it down to the top of the chest. Thats where i found i like it best.


Sick work there bro!

Thanks P!

hello christian.

why in all your foods blogs you like to add pumpkin.what makes pumpkin on your best foods.i remember eating tuna fish in my cutting phase 4 cans of day some of them had no sause with them just the tuna.

Pumpkin was only in 2 of the vids my man, its a great very clean food that many people forget about.

Tuna is a very clean source of protein as well, it gets rough after a while.


Thats alot of exercises, do you go to failure?

Nice work in here!

Contest prep started Monday 3/14/2011. Currently i am sitting 17 weeks out, at a solid 205 lbs in the morning. The reason why i am starting already is because i will be having surgery as i was diagnosed with a torn ACL. The surgery is tentatively next week, i will find out on Thursday when i get all my pre-surgery tests done. I want to be 100% for Team U, so i am starting my diet now. If i can make it through surgery, and not be set back so much, then im good to go. I know i am facing a difficult road, but i would rather try and see how i make it through. I would be happier with trying it and not being able to make it through, then not try it, and be able to make it through.

This is become part of who i am, and what i do. Contest prep is nothing new to me, nor has the food changed much. I look forward to getting back on stage and progressing from last year. This is the longest "offseason" i have ever taken. Most of them over the past two years have been 10-12 weeks, this one was a solid 40 or so. I feel good, i stayed lean, and my strength is higher then ever before. I have possibly the largest obstacle, of my life, standing in my way, but it will be taken day to day, and ill be where i need to be. Diet has not changed much, as i was eating very clean during the week already. Weights are staying the same, and ill be continuing to train heavy.

Surgery?!?!?!?!

[Big Wides]

hey man, best of luck with the knee. i've almost been there but to hard headed to get it done. and if you were wondering, yes snackwells and pop-tarts will speed up recovery. the snackwells are fat free, so you won't gain a pound

[Altered Beast]

hey man, best of luck with the knee. i've almost been there but to hard headed to get it done. and if you were wondering, yes snackwells and pop-tarts will speed up recovery. the snackwells are fat free, so you won't gain a pound

LOL!

Cissus Quadrangularis at 5,000 milligrams a day, 5000-6000 milligrams of Vit C and two servings of FLEX. Be sure to eat dark greens for extra calcium. I guarantee your knee will heal faster if you follow this. Get plenty of Omega 3's as well.

[Big C]

Sorry to hear the knee turned out worse than expected my man. I totally forgot to ask you how it was at the Arnold. Good luck with the surgery, you will be fine u are one tough dude. I'll be following your show prep as well - big things in store for you brother I can sense it.

[Phil800101]

Solid work there bro! Hope all goes well with the surgery, I'm sure you'll be up and on the road to full recovery in no time. Definitely one of the benefits of being in shape and training regularly...the body is used to and primed for recovery and repair.

[scals]

Definitely made that leg day count brother. i'll holler at ya before tuesday.

[GSant434]

Hey brother, sucks to hear that they diagnosed it as a tear. The stronger you go into a knee surgery the quicker you recover, so you should be optimistic about your turnaround. The only thing that slowed me was the torn menisci, so I'm sure you'll be back raising hell soon enough. I can promise you though, you will emerge mentally stronger having endured the experience. Curious to hear what kind of work they're doing to the knee. Full ligament replacement?

Wishing you the best on your recovery.

-Gerald

[DANO]

Damn bro... anytime you have to go under the knife sucks. But you will be back on your feet (pun intended) in no time!

I'll be checkin in to see how you are healing up, but I wouldn't take Wides advice on the Pop-tarts... you might have to fight off the JUGGERNAUT!! haha

[Phil800101]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Pop Tarts and Oreos are the most anabolic foods known to man.

Whats up G. I actually ended up having meniscus damage as well, by reading the MRI he said i did, but didnt think it needed to be repaired. I was happy about that, but after the surgery ma dukes talked to him and said it was much more severe than he thought. I asked him about autograft v allograft. He said for me and the strength of my legs, no donor would match the tendons i have now, so we went with the autograft, and yes it was a full ligament replacement. Ill find out more on Friday.


Damn bro... anytime you have to go under the knife sucks. But you will be back on your feet (pun intended) in no time!

I'll be checkin in to see how you are healing up, but I wouldn't take Wides advice on the Pop-tarts... you might have to fight off the JUGGERNAUT!! haha

[C.Coronato]

Surgery was Tuesday morning at 7am. It went well, but doc said it was more severe than he had thought, as i had meniscus damage as well. The opted to do an Autograft(using my own ligament) to make a new ACL. He said no donors would have the strength and tough quality tendons I already have. Right now im in a full leg brace that restricts any movement, while there is weight on it. The doc said to try to walk on it with out the crutches and putting weight on it is good, so Tuesday i was on two crutches, yesterday i was on one, and today im trying to get around with out any, its difficult, but its gotta get done. I also lay in a CPM machine for 6 hours a day, 2 in the AM, 2 in the afternoon, and 2 in the PM. It continuously bends my knee to a set angle, yesterday was 0-30, today its 0-40, and it goes up 10 degrees every day, that hurts like hell, but it is supposed to stop the scar tissue buildup. Friday i go back to see the doc already and ill know more then.

Thanks for the update brother i was waiting to hear how it all went down. Glad it was successful after all that. When it comes down to those things doctors really don't know everything until they open you up. keep going strong bro we're in your corner!

[Themostocles]

I aint no pro-squatter, but mine numbers havent done anything but go up since my knee was done. And the flexing of the tendon really does help keep your ROM, but damn does it burn like its on fire... Heal up fast, brother

[Phil800101]

Glad to hear it went well bro, even if things were worse than thought. Sounds like you're on the road to recovery, hope all goes well and you're healed up soon!

Glad to hear the surgery was a success C. Recovery is gonna be a pain in the ass but a lot of people come back stronger than they ever have been. I am still recovering my ankle and the hope is that it will be that much stronger because of all the exercises. Good Luck with all of your PT. We are with you bro.

[Funky]

Recovery sucks so just embrace the pain and it will go much smoother! You will be back up on stage and you will be stronger because of this!

[shortstack]

Sorry to hear about the injury but you're a tough dude and will heal up fast. I doubt you're the kind to get too down about it and you know it's all about the long haul.

Good luck with the recovery.

[Wingman]

Damn man, that has gott abe a rough hit. At least you know one thing, your legs are too beastly to get "donor" tendons. =D Is working out at all a possibility?

[Punisher]

What kind of rehab are you doing?? Ask you doc about. Getting out of the immobilizer early. An early plan that includes active or passive motion of the joint have both been shown to greatly improve recovery times and outcomes. Continuous passive motion machines look into it. There is some conflicting info on it regarding acl repair but when used in elbow injuries the difference is dramatic. If you doc is against it just try to move as much as possible. It will help take wastes and debris away form the joint reduce swelling and prevent degeneratioof the joint, it will also help you graft heal correctly on a microscopic level.

Hey bro. Sorry about the ACL, ill be watching the forum to see the outcome. One of my best friends just had his acl and miniscus torn and replaced 4 days ago and i've been helping him out at home with it, so i've seen exactly what it will be like. You'll be fine, your'e tough as shit so this will just be another accomplishment once you stand back on stage. Heal quickly bro, i'm coming for your TTL name lol.

Thanks brotha. Yea they have it immobilized in the full leg brace, but a day out he had me on the CPM machine. By Saturday I was at 90 degrees no problem. I went to see him Friday, and he took the dressing off, and im not cleared to un hook it when im sitting, as well as take it off and shower, and walk around a bit without anything. He has me doing some home exercises to get the movement back fully. Im going for a Physical Therapy eval Tuesday, and see what they say.


Heal up, with a quickness...!!! (BTW... Ain't CPM machines fun...??? *LOL*)

Haha, NO. lol. Its not bad at all now, but the first few days were rough.

Monday - The long road has started. Back to our so called "Normal Life" and back to reality. The daily struggle to be the best has just been amplified and kicked up a notch. Easy things, have been hard, and are starting to get a bit easier again, but it will all take time. I will have to go to a few Physical Therapy sessions in order to get my quad moving again, and then back to the doctor next Monday. He said my progress is great, so that's good to hear. I'm up and walking and bearing weight without a crutch, and im off all pain meds as of Thursday night.

Team Universe is 15 weeks out. Right now its still up in the air, and i am still in the contest prep diet, but without the cardio it will be cutting it close. I dropped a good amount of weight from the surgery and recovery and not eating as much as i should for a few days. Ill be taking it day to day, and ill make the final decision in a few weeks.

I got back into the gym Monday just to get some blood flowing. Im taking it easy, but i still need to get back into it as im in contest prep.

[Wingman]

damn bro, 370 on bench and 565 on DL is no joke,no joke at all, keep thrashing man, I know this surgery wont hold you back.

[Phil800101]

Looking solid bro! Glad to hear that the recovery is progressing, sick vid.

[Altered Beast]

Double up on the FLEX, get tons of Omega 3 (4000 MG should be max) and that will heal you quickly. Be sure to get 3000-4000 IU's of Vitamin D3. Without Vit D, your body cannot properly assimilate your Calcium intake. Calcium will also help rebuild that area as well.

Just want to help! The above will all help to rebuild any and all cartilage, drastically reduce inflammation and will shuttle nutrients to the affected area for an enhanced healing effect.

[JustJ]

you'll come back quick man.

[LayzieBone085]

Its only a matter of time big man!

[DanTheMan]

you'll come back quick man.

yup.. come back bigger and better, no doubt. keep it up big brotha!

* Went to Docs today. Second post op went well. All stiches out, healing up very nicely. ROM is to a solid 90, but with the meniscus damage, doc doesnt want me to push past there for a few more weeks. My brace was shortened up a bit. One more week of walking with it locked, and then two weeks of walking with it unlocked, and then im brace free! I was also cleared to hit up the bike.

* Every day is getting easier. First few revolutions on the bike are a little tight, no pain, just tight. But it loosens right up and im moving along very well now. Up to 45 mins. Every day im adding another 5 mins to get to 60. I am on track still, 13 weeks out at 197lbs. Brace is still on for another 1.5 weeks or so but it is unlocked so i am now walking with out it being strait. It feels like it is constantly getting stronger.

Good stuff, i love the A7/Rage. I also do like the Iso-Stak as well, this is my first time running it, and im hungry as shit, i feel my strength is increasing too with the N1-T and that.


Solid looking chest workout brother. How is everything else going? Diet? Knee?

Doing well brotha. Saw Glenn last night, was happy where im at, but it was the first time seeing the atrophied quad, so he was a little surprised with the difference. The plan of action is to continue to diet for the next 6-7 weeks. At 5 weeks out, we will make our final decision, based on if the quad matches the other or not. If it doesnt, then ill prob put on a few lbs, but stay relatively lean, and do a show in September .. Knee is doing well, one more week with the brace, but i have been walking around the house with out it. Still a little uneasy, but certainly getting better. Able to do the bike for a full hour now with minimal pain, and some light intensity. All baby steps my brotha! How are you holding up?


and hows life? Lifting aside, its important too lol

Good brotha, thanks for asking! No complaints, just chasing the dream! The girl and I are doing well, so thats always good. She is very supportive and that keeps me in line also. Looking forward to some warm weather and sitting on the beach! haha. How are you my man?
