[ESC]back in the gym finally
three months and a week since injuring my wrist. finally got back at it today.
it felt amazing to be able to lift again. it also felt terrible to see how little I COULD lift.
read some research studies saying with joint injuries specifically return to ~80% is usually 4-6 or 6-8 weeks depending on severity of injury, and full strength returned in 10-12 weeks. Which bummed me out at first and then I realized, I went 12 weeks without lifting, 12 weeks starting light and progressing steadily will feel a lot better. I might suck more than getting back to full strength immediately but it's better than the alternative.
All in all, a good day I guess.
