Here's the short version. I'm a 6'4" 232, 45 year old male. In August of 2004 I had emergency surgery to correct a perforated diverticulium. In November I had the reversal. The second surgery left me with a large ventral hernia that I had repaired April 11, 2007. I'm two weeks post op and doing very well. I'm wondering if Bill Hartman would be kind enough give me an idea of the progression of movements to rehab. I have read:
Until a client can perform:
Plank: 2 minutes
Isometric held hyperextension: 2 minutes
Side Plank: 90 sec.
They are not allowed to load more than 20% of their bodyweight in external lifting"
How do i get there from here?
