Thanks bro, just tried a new supplier. Hope things are good and I'll get back to my " where I should and want to be"
 
Good delts and traps. Your arms are shaped well and can potentially become huge. You are lean now for sure. What is your height and weight now, if you don't mind sharing?

Not at all bro...thanks fur the input. Currently 6' and 180lbs. Before surgery I was about 190lbs
 
Definitely lean. You will be back to where you were in no time! You got a helluva jump on it already!
 
Ha, nothing like a comeback.

How limited are you on what you can do?
 
Thanks guys....I just haven't felt like myself not being able to workout. I'm sure most of you can relate.

I chose the artificial disk replacement instead of the fusion surgery. After 3 months I've been given a clean bill of health. However I'm still gonna take it easy for awhile.

Good decision. Honestly, after something like that I would treat it like a potential hazard and run some type of injury prevention training around it.

I have back problems but as long as I'm repping and still tearing down correctly, I stay good.

I had this same procedure back on 11/21. I am back to 100% with my lifts now, keep up with the neck stretches and rear delt work to maintain proper neck position and posture. Keep up the good work brother!

Those are great words of wisdom to keep close. It will be a long road but you will get it all back as muscle memory is your friend.

Yea...concentrating on traps and rear delts for sure..and many upper back exercises
 
You look great bro!! You'll be back to where you want in no time. Before my shoulder surgery I stopped training for about a year. After the surgery it took about 6 months to get back in the gym. I really babied it. I tell you after I could lift like normal, my muscle came back really fast!!!
