Gain Muscle Without Lifting?

[GJWrestle878]

I recently dislocated my shoulder and now i cannot use it for 4 weeks. This limits the amount of lifts I can perform greatly. Does anyone have any ideas on what lifts I might possibly be able to do safely. I was thinking perhaps squats. But any input would be great. Also is it possile to gain muscle if my diet is very good and cals are high?

just eat clean, and do legs + cardio. Let that shoulder heal up!

Ask me again in 4 weeks.

If I were you, I'd stick to the obvious: leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, calf presses (using leg press machine), crunches, and do some cardio on a bike. Nurse that shoulder.

Injury is my middle name. Something to think on. If your shoulder is dislocated it may be painfull to rest a barbell on your upper traps for any length of time especially with any decent amount of weight for squatting. Stick to isometric movements for a couple of weeks. Try exercises you might have never thought of using. Have you ever performed "Sissy Squats" in a doorway? Your body weight alone will be enough and your shoulder is completely out of play.....unless you fall on it....j/k. My 4th and 5th discs in my neck have fused together from an older injury and I REALLY do know about working around pain and lack of motion...and when to stop completely.

take care

Just lift like normal and fight through the pain.

Bad advice. You're joking right.
