I starting weight training about 2 years ago. I'm 6'1" and I had weighed 280 lbs, don't even want to know what BF% was. I'm down to 215 LBS and not sure about BF% but I look 100 times better. I have made awsome gains on strength and muscle. I feel really good about myself.
That being said, about 2 months ago I had an accident on vacation, out in the ocean, and tore my rotator cuff. I have been trying to recoup from this without surgery and it's not looking to good. Going to try cortizone shot next week. Still in pain and do not have full range of motion back yet.
Question is, if I get the surgery I know the recovery time to get back into the gym could be as much as 9 months. How easy or hard is it to recoup the gains I have made over the course of the last 2 years. I've heard it's a little easier than starting fom scratch. I've become obsessed with trying not to go back to the way I was 2 years ago and it's really taken a toll on me mentally. Any words of advice? Anyone gone through anything similar?
