A Question for Heavy Lifters and/or Active Military

[PowerliftingDad]

Wow man impressive. How many revisions have you had and when could you start working out again after your procedure?

I have had one revision in Feb. 2022.
Didn't lift for first 4 weeks after surgery.
Although 3 weeks out, I was doing isometric squeezes of muscles. (Basically hard flexing)
4 through 6 weeks took it easy. After 6 weeks was back to lifting heavy.

Wow so according to your signature you went 20 years with your failed implant??

That's correct. 19 years with a failed implant.

Here's my story:

52 year old National Record Holding Powerlifter in the 198lb division.
600 lb Deadlift, 585 lb Squat and bench press in the upper 300s
Heavy lifting 6 days a week. No issues whatsoever.

Thanks, man! This is DEFINITELY helpful. Okay, so it sounds like I'll be alright

Incidentally, that's fucking amazing and inspiring, man. I thought about getting to the gym but, again, was worried about the implant. Now I have no excuse. I'm really skinny and would like to build definition.

How do you work your abs? Can you feel the reservoir?

I work my abs as hard as I work all my other muscles. Twice a week to failure with cable crunches, decline weighted situps, roman twists.
I am less than 10% body and definitely both of my reservoirs sitting right next to each other in my very lower abdomen.

When you lie down flat on your back, can you see the reservoirs bulging from your abdomen? I’m pretty lean myself, and when I’m lying on my back, I can clearly see my reservoir bulging out, as well as feel it. I had high submuscular placement.

You aren’t going to have any issues trust me. I had surgery January 3rd and I was back to work Feb 3rd. I work for the DSNY putting 11 tons of garbage on a truck. I don’t see the reservoir at all. And I have 125ml of fluid in it. Maybe if I get even leaner. But who knows and who cares lol.

Lookin' good, Vitalssk!

So, no problems heavy lifting with the implant? That's what I'm hearing, unequivocally, from everyone else.

[Vitalssk]

yeah it just feels weird during certain movements. I can feel the liquid sloshing around in the reservoir. 40 something days later and im still not used to it.

[jimpablo]

vitalsk,
You are 40 days post-op...have you been to the gym yet?
I think you have an infrapubic incision and recovery is easier, I will have a penoscrotal incision and I hope to recover to go to the gym little by little.

[Vitalssk]

I was at the gym 2 weeks post op lol

[jimpablo]

...2 weeks??? Did you have pain???

[Vitalssk]

Yeah i definitely had pain, I had to lift light and if i went too heavy then i had pain in my dick, and a soreness that extended to my taint. a week after surgery i virtually had no swelling. Kinda wish he did the procedure penoscrotal. Doing it through the pubic you sever the nerves, Still waiting for feeling to come back on the top part of my shaft. Also now i have pelvic floor dysfunction which i never had before in my life. Having an orgasm post is sooooo painful.
