How's the nerve issue you were dealing with?
so its better, but Im not really sure the extent. its hard to see the development in the back unless im really lean and posing, with pics to actually see- which im guilty of not doing very often, sometimes not at all
the atrophy was severe, as the shoulder trap, lat, was all mash potatoes
to give you an idea, when I was trying to get the strength back, i was using the hammer high row. I would use one 45# one each side. the left would come down fine, easy light, and I would hold it at the bottom, waiting for the right--- but the right would be stuck, not being able to get even half way. one week at a time i added some weight, did a lot of iso lateral movements, and kept trying to wake it up.
I still feel some difference, but its just a feeling. I can now move the same weight with each side, range of motion is the same, it just doesnt feel the same. pump is different etc.
ex. I did that machine today one arm at
a time- worked up the 3 plates per side, really held and squeezed at the bottm full rom, relaxed hand and forearm/bicep, trying not to cheat at all.
same reps each side, same fatigue, but again slight different feel when squeezing. occasionally I think about it, it may always have been that way, I just never put the thought and diligence into the reps like I do now. many workouts were moving weight, good feel, and move on
being a little more deliberate, may have allowed me to notice something different, but I wont ever really know.
long answer to say work in progress
