So 3 weeks into hypertrophy I and all was going well. i was doing 2 good upper workouts a week, 1 lower as i need to get some balance, and an extra day for some different upper movements.
Football training and a match plus two HIIT sessions made up my cardio; eating more and timing my foods around workouts and results were showing. finally im getting more muscle although at the cost of some fat but hey, that can be fixed in a months time.
Then my brother noticed a lump on my knee, turns out to be my leg bone sticking out under my knee cap. id been aching but i presumed id twisted it it training so laid off the cardio for a week.
so off i go for a scan and ive got 3 weeks of no exercising on it till i get the results through!!!! and it bloody aches likes mad. my big plan to do a couple of decent runs of the xmas hols and have a few days out of the gym to recover some aching muscles was destroyed!
fingers crossed its not serious (although a contorted leg bone/knee/cartiledge surely cant not be) but no running for me.
anyway, what do i do? i can keep my upper days going, but can i still do straight deads or is it not worth it? any ideas for cardio workouts that dont use my legs? hand stand sprints?
one word. bugger.
