    need advice

    I'm having surgery in 1-1/2 weeks(shoulder clavical resection) and will be out of action as far as upper body in concerned for at least 2 and maybe 3 months. Anyone have any advice as to what I can do to prevent or at least slow the muscle/strength loss. I'm dreading this with a passion, but from what I've read and been told, if I want to continue lifting its gotta be done. The worse part of this is that I am just about as strong right now as I have ever been. I hate to see all that work go to nothing. Anything you guys know of would help.

    Cool

    Keep your diet in check with lots of protein to provide the necessary building blocks for recovery and slow muscle catabolism.

    If you can do any form of training for the legs that would really be of help. Things like leg presses, calf raises (done in the leg press) will help you to give the body the false impression that the muscle mass you carry is still vital to survival.

    Nuber 1: Be carefull! I know you dont' want to lose what you have gained but it's better to take a little set back and get started fresh then it is to do something stupid and set yourself back even further.

    Best of luck bro!

    we aim for one thing, to be perfect, yet we will never be.
