Another setback- Dammit!
I’m having a rough week.
On Monday, I pulled a ligament in my hip doing my last set pressing 550 lbs on the 45° incline leg press. The pain shot through me like a bolt of lightning. The pain has subsided over the past few days. This has happend to me before in the past and all I need to do is to take it easy on it for a few days and then work it up again slowly.
Took a few days off to recover. I had to force myself to stay away from the gym- the guilt is killing me but I have to heal first. Its only been 3 days but my body needed the break.
In spite of that, I stuck to my diet along with my 15-18 egg whites each day and have definitely noticed that my gut has gone down and that my chest and arms have gone up. Had to cut a new notch in my new belt and my new size 36 jeans are getting big and really loose!
I’m going to get back into they gym tomorrow and work abs, triceps and chest. I”m going to give my legs and hips a break for a few more days- then watch out!

I can absolutely empathize here. Not sure what the worst part of an injury is: The injury itself, or the missed weight sessions as a result.
