I squatted too heavy and hurt my back like an idiot. I've taken 2 weeks off of lifting. (although I did play alot of basketball one of the weeks)
My back feels OK now, but I am hesitant to do heavy squats or leg presses.
So I am thinking of doing sprint training and using hamstring curls and calf raises.
I also hurt my shoulder while benching. I am going to do lighter work with dumbbells, and or go for a more narrow grip on the bench, which will work more of my triceps, but also limit the strain on my shoulder.
I'm thinking of going to a more functional strength workout. Adding pullups for my back and arms and dips (instead of the lat pulldown, skullcrunchers or triceps dummbell extensions, and heavy dumbbell curls for the bicep).
I think this will give me a break from the heavy training I've been doing without causing too much decline in mass.
Does anyone else have any other good training ideas for someone with injuries?
