Dealing with injuries

[METHODICALMUSCL]

Today was'nt a good day for me. I had to take off today, because of my groin. This injury sucks like no other. I've been dealing with this for awhile. I thought i had it beat once i started taking better care of it, by icing and stretching it. However, a couple of days ago after doing legs as well as cardio, i felt that nagging pain again. I refuse to stop training legs, after all...legs is the core of what makes a bodybuilder. I will however, have to make adjustments. Its hard for me to not do certain exercises and not feel that i cheated myself. But in order for me to continue to be in the gym...i have to take the proper steps to ensure my longevity. I have until monday to do everything possible to get ready for another week of training. I just hope i'm a quick healer.

well after my knee surgery minus physical therapy I could not lift legs for a long time.. The advantage was I still found the energy to crutch into the gym everyday and shred my upper body. When I was on crutches my bench went up dramatically I think because I concentraed on each muscle a little more.

So let yur injury heal and work on everything else even if u have to do machines.

Good luck

Hey Dan,

I understand dealing with injuries and it sucks! Tore my hamstring in june 07, couldn't train any legs for a year (including calves). Slightly tore the top of my pec and minor tear in that left side labrum in my shoulder, took a year off there. Just started training upper body again on jan 1st 2010. And im feeling decent, but now i did something to my right knee, don't know how it happened, might just be from wear and tear, i think i have a small tear in one of the tendons on the inside of my knee cap, VERY frustrating! Im trying to get back on that WNBF stage possibly late this year.
