Mark Hunt's leg infection
Mark Hunt discusses his leg injury sustained during the fight with Junior Dos Santos on the Hammer Time fight show. He reveals that he had a broken toe, which he was unaware of until after the match, and received six stitches at the hospital. The more severe issue was a hematoma on his leg that got infected. Two days after returning home, he experienced sickness and headaches, discovering a big hole in his leg, which some thought was a staph infection. This bruise originated from a training injury 12 weeks prior. Despite the infection, Hunt fought through the pain, which affected his performance and movement during the fight.
Mark Hunt is doing YTWL exercises to fix his shoulder injury.
1. The "Y" Exercise: Raise your arms to form a Y, at a 35-45 degree angle, working the lower traps and muscles between the shoulder blades. Use light weights to ensure proper muscle engagement.
2. The "T" Exercise: Raise your arms straight to the side, forming a T, and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Perform slowly to avoid using momentum and ensure muscle control.
3. The "W" Exercise: Similar to the T, but with elbows bent at 90 degrees. This targets rotator cuff muscles and the muscles between the shoulder blades.
4. The "L" Rotations: Keep your elbows level with your shoulders and rotate your hands upwards. This works the rotator cuff and upper back muscles.
For best results, perform these exercises slowly and with control. If your shoulders are stiff, address that first with specific exercises to loosen them up.
