I have nothing against durock for showers, it had its time and place in the 1980s, but there is no need to lug those heavy, cumbersome sheets of crumbling, porous rock up to your new bathroom. ![]() For some reason every DIY bathroom remodel involves durock.

There are plenty of resources available to you on youtube that will make you an absolute master at setting tile. ![]() If the thought of setting tile DIY scares you, don’t let it. This required some re-framing of the walls to flush it out, and it worked out wonderfully. In the bathroom shown, I put the walk-in shower along the back wall, giving it plenty of space in contrast to the small shower that it replaced. To have a walk-in shower with shoulder room, the back wall is where it’s at. The ShowerĪlmost without fail, the shower needs to be on the back wall. Unless you’re very handy I would see about having one professionally installed. They just require a bit more work to install. Utilizing pocket doors can be a lifesaver when trying to save space. If I had to do it all over again, I would look into a sliding barn door or a pocket door. There were points where I needed the door to be closed so that I could open the vanity drawers. When I redid this bathroom I didn’t know any better, and I used a regular hung door that swings inward. The depth of the vanity had to be very small so as not to impinge on your hip when you walked through the door. For me, my biggest issue was the small space between the door, over the sink plumbing. ![]()

![]() ![]() I'm a physician (radiologist) and have seen some pretty nasty cases of the liner essentially wearing away into nothing and basically have a metal chunks/powder in the area of the joint and even erode upward. Obviously you're not going to stop lifting, so just be sure to follow up with routine xrays and check ups with the orthopod. There are no data on it, at least that I'm aware of, I worry that the heavier loads could result in accelerated wear of the liner. The anterior approach was probably the better option for you, although I feel bad for the surgeon with all of that musculature (it is a relatively small hole to work in and with the extra musculature, it can be like a tunnel. My primary focus now is to coach young and upcoming lifters like Joe Schillero, Mario D'Amico, and Brian Doberdruk.Ĭongrats on the recovery. I know the hips can never support an attempt at 1160 so I am happy just taking it day-by-day and seeing where it leads me. ![]() So I look to find other ways to set records. To me, if I can’t go after a PR then it is pointless. The question has been asked, will I ever compete again? No, I won’t. My biggest focus is pushing out on my knees. We did 335, 345, 355, 365, and 375 for sets of 2 reps with 300 pounds of band tension followed by glute ham raises with toes elevated 45 degrees above the knee for 3 sets of 10.Įach week gets a little easier. Now at 26 weeks post-op, I trained with my group who were doing circa max in prep for the Arnold Classic. No supportive gear was used I only wore a pair of gym shorts. Progress: At 18 weeks post-op I squatted 600 with a straight bar to a parallel box and followed it up by pulling 600 from the floor. ![]() RELATED: Powerlifting After 13 Surgeries: An Interview with METAL Owner Ano Turtiainen My foot position is just slightly wider than shoulder width. Since the surgery, I just do not have the ability to get my feet out very wide. Squatting is a little different for me now. I am able to do jump rope for cardio without much issue. My limitations: jumping is a definite NO! I, like a dumbass, have tried and paid dearly for it. Glute ham raises were a no-go for quite a while but now I am back to full ability. I tried everything to see what my limitations were. I also did good mornings with the jump stretch bands for resistance using high reps each day.Įach week I worked on volume occasionally working up to see how I was doing and how I would feel after. I worked on adductor and abductor work, single leg glute bridges, and isometric glute contractions for five-second holds. As this all happened I concentrated on working on form, but I will admit I wanted weigh on my back to prove to myself that I was no bitch and that this shit wasn’t going to limit me. The more I trained, the more I regained feeling and was able to squeeze. Locking out a deadlift in the beginning weeks was a bitch. I focused on being able to push my knees out and relearned how to contract and squeeze my glutes. My biggest issue was that the new hips had me very tight, which caused my knees to turn in. The first few weeks I did high box squats to start to get the feel again. I would do as many reps as I could throughout the day to build up my endurance.įinally at eight weeks I began to head back into the gym. I would sit on the chair and use the door knob to assist me standing up until I was strong enough to stand from the below parallel position on my own. RECENT: Training at Westside: Priorities and LifestyleĪt about two weeks post-op I was able to sit well below parallel. Up to that time I worked on stretching, flexibility, and range of motion. I waited until eight weeks post-operation to return to the gym. I needed to give the bones time to heal with the new joints. Do they quit once they suffer injuries or do they dig in and fight to return? My first goal was to heal up from surgery. Quickly I started remembering what Louie used to say: the true test of a lifter is how they handle injury. After the surgery, I was amazed at how much better I felt. They helped me mentally get through this time and assured me I would be fine after surgery. Was I going to be able to live a normal life after the surgery? Was I going to be able to return to lifting? As the surgery date approached, I spoke with Dave Tate and Steve Goggins as to what I should expect. I did not know what life was to be like after surgery. On August 4, 2015, I underwent double anterior total hip replacement. of Orthopedic One, and total replacement was my only option. I discussed all options with my doctor, Dr. After 20 years of competitive powerlifting, 17 of which were spent at Westside Barbell, I found myself in need of total hip replacement. ![]() ![]() Rose quartz, on the other hand, will keep the marriage alive despite its adularescence, whereas moonstone will provide brides with fertile waters.
