back to recovery, after breaking my neck in a car accident last March, previousl to the RTA i had been involved in Rugby to a fairly high level , surfing etc, basically involved with sport all my life, back to present , i have undergone surgery for injuries recieved in the RTA and have made a good recovery however a lesion high in my neck / shoulder area cannot be operated on with any guarantee of safety, so my days of pumping heavy iron are over, ie bench , shoulder press etc. I am quite a large guy 6' 8'' and my usual body weight when fit is around 18 stone 7 or so , but due to total inactivity( work included) for 18 months i now reside at 20 stone 10 pounds.
I have taken up a reality based martial art in a bid for suppleness and balance, plus the need to protect myself and family as i get older, i am 40 now, also i am returning to a cardio work out and have my dietry bad habits changed, any feed back on suitable work outs and advice will be appreciated, sorry for the long post but i think in order to give advice you need a background , nice to meet you all .
