Awww Shucks

First thanks for all the kind words and thoughts, to those of you who pointed and laughed, may you be forced to endure a eternity of Family Matters reruns.

Quite a few people have asked how much of my movement is limited and what exactly can I do with this type of injury.

Well there is a difference in what I feel I can do and what I know I shouldn't do;) That being said the pain with having strain in your abdominals is it truly is the core area of all movements.

Pull ups-Not Happening
Squats-Not Happening

In general compound movements, not happening.

This leaves general activity and isolation movements. Basically I am going to do what I can to maintain muscle through isolation and rehab work and keep up my caloric burn with light elliptical work and incline walking.

Since my activity is going to be really low I am obviously going to have to cut back in calories some and focus on getting a solid amount of nutrients and clean foods to speed repair.

Lots of Fish, Veggies, and Fruits.

You know I can't let this opportunity go to waste, so expect a nice program to be posted in case any of you find yourselves in this position while still striving towards a goal.

Well, you better figure out SOMETHING to do instead of rest days or you'll end up with a lot of those high protein days. Those aren't pretty... ;)

At least you'll have an excuse for using those thigh machines, now. Cuz you know they call to you. They call to all women.

I had a dream last night about the glute master...I fear the dark side for my backside.
