Thanks for the post Alpha – I think Doctors are great but they generally don’t investigate or really anaylze the cases where people do recover after major injury.

Actually when I read your story about your accident in swimming pool(correct?) I almost cried when I read part about your son saving you. Well, those werent tears, just sweaty eyes…You actually inspired me with this story, because I feel such a pussy right know. I cant go to gym right now, but I do recovery exercises in home from doctor.Well moderate weight, was good at start, but my bench improved in high weight low rep, deadlift as well…But as my numbers were not that impressive back then, Im afraid what comes next after 5 months of doing nothing. One more thing and then I leave you alone, do you do running with damaged spine?

I eat about 1.5 grams of protein per body pound. So 5-6 meals a day, 40-50 grams of protein. With that I eat all of the fresh fruit and vegetables I want along with nuts & a slice of avocado. If you have a slim build you need to make sure you are at least eating 1.5 grams (maybe 2 grams) of protein per lbs of body weight & you need to both do low rep high weight & medium weight with massive reps to hit both the slow twitch and fast twitch muscle fibers to cause growth. My son has that same issue and it works for him. Try it for a month and let us know how much you gained.
