Oh where or where have my chops gone?

Post by Papadukes »

Eighteen months ago I had a bad accident on tor farm forcing me to lay off for for at least a year. Part of my rehab was weight loss. I am 72 years old and dropprf 95lbs. I am reading that weight loss includes muscle loss as well. The muscle loss seems to include my chops. I had steel chops with good range extensions in both directions. I have applied all the strategies I know of to restore my chops, but it is not going well. Stamina is poor and upper range is limited.

Has anyone experienced this and have suggestions to move forward. I try to practice three times a day for 20 minutes.

Thanks Steve Sanford

It's very common to lose chops when losing a lot of weight. It's not just muscle, but the whole structure of your facial tissue changes and gets thinner.
I'd like to go down your way sometime in the next month or so. Maybe we can schedule a lesson, or I'm always available online.

I know a thing of two as well...different things I suspect.
