The collar is off, and I’m starting physio. I can finally ease my way back into the gym.
Everything is looking great based on the scans. Starting tonight, physio will include machine-based lifting with some restrictions, and cardio is limited to walking only—no running or high-impact stuff.
I’ve got another 8 weeks before my next checkup. After that, she said I should be able to get back to free weights and go from there.
Overall, it’s great news. I was completely out of the gym for two months—no cardio at all, not even long walks. I only gained about 4 pounds, which the surgeon was really happy with. She actually expected me to be up 8–10 pounds and said she rarely sees such minimal weight gain.
Thanks @BenjaminYeezus you showed me the way lol @The100Club100 time to get rolling again
Picked this up at Costco last week and finally tried it. The tortillas will break if you use them straight from the fridge but at room temperature they’re fine. Perfect macros for the size and lots of fibre.
@JoshEAllen@dictionaryhill That’s not what I said. Without 🇺🇸 Canada wouldn’t stand a chance, apart from intelligence we have no defence since we rely on the American Air Force, and it’s not the first time that US planes have done our job for us.

How I am transitioning from cut -> bulk
At the end of a cut, especially one where you get quite lean, your body is most primed to put on muscle (very insulin sensitive), but also fat (needs/wants body fat to return to normal functioning)
We want to be careful. What *I* like to do is, after 1 fun meal out, immediately add 500cal/day, primarily of carbs.
I hold this for ~a week, where after an initial jump, weight will likely actually continue to trend down
Once that happens, Ill then add another 250cal to training days, and do that for ~a week again.
At this point we should be approaching maintenance. Lifts should be going up, energy and fullness should also have both improved.
I'll basically keep doing that until weight plateaus/starts to steadily climb, as that means my small surplus has been achieved, only adding 100-200 cal each time weight plateaus for TWO+ weeks.
Dont want to make adjustments too quickly, overshoot, and add too much unnecessary fat throughout entire bulk
