Just wandering has any one herd of anybody that was into Olympic style weightlifying and had to quit and uderwent ADR and is now back lifting again. Hopefully some one has becase I can see many people have travaled over sees for ADR. Not me it happed right here in Eugene, Oregon from Dr. Gallo on the 18th of this month fully paid for by my ins. (Atnea). So if someone knows of olympans in say germany, russia or greace were this surgery is more commonly performed it would be of great intrest to here a story of a sucssesful recovery back into Olympic style weightlifting.I can't wait to here from someone Chrissy Galeana in Oregon!

Welcome, Chrissy. There's a few people that are into that here...touch base with Laura. If you can't locate her, just email me and I'll introduce you two. She's very helpful and knowledgeable, and just had ADR over in Europe with Dr. Z.

It baffles my tiny mind to think a post-ADR back can withstand such loads. Regan told me post-ADR not to lift more than 30 lbs. but maybe this has to do w/geometry and a higher power.

I think Olympic lifting with an ADR would be insane...we have no idea of these devices can withstand that kind of force. At least not over the long term.
Perhaps bench pressing and curls and "regular" weight lifting...but not powerlifting or olympic lifting. Ack!

To do this or even think of this is crazy. If you have had ADR because a disc has gone DDD or torn then think what the rest of your spine is like. It need coaxing along for the rest of your life not being subjected to huge stresse and strains.
Zeegers said to me "We have replaced a bad disc in your spine - - remember the rest are the same as your age." If you have had ADR my advice is don`t abuse the rest of your spine Best Alastair
