Hello T-Nation forums,
It’s been a while since I have posted here. Looking for some ideas on where to go and how to proceed training wise. Lil history for those who care to read. Was working w/ online trainer but as mentioned before I just didnt feel I was getting best out of it and that his heart was in it anymore seeing as he would go M.I.A for 5-6 weeks at a time or be consistantly late for our phone calls by 3-4 hours. But decided to tuff it out and try for contests in the natural arenas but after a hammy tear and having just ABSO no luck w/ before mentioned trainer. I find myself sliding on diet and due to injury unable to work out very hard.
What would the community as a whole suggest for someone in my place? I have had some friends tell me take a month or two off. Let connective tissue and CNS repair itself some. Others are urging me to perhaps drop the natural part. While others are thiking maybe instead of bodybuilding I try male fitness model (jokes are welcome here btw). I guess I am looking for new trainer as well. For diet/supp/and training. If anyone has some thots on my lil situtation I would appreciate their input.
Give us some more info… Stats, pics (if you feel like it), what numbers you’re putting up… protein intake per day, overall cals… Current training… Details on your injury(ies) and how you got them… How long have you been training…
Stats :
Height: 6’1"
Weight : 183lbs
Bodyfat: 6%
Was previously training completely all natural for 3 yrs bout 5 days a week for last 6 months tho its been 6 days a week. I am very form oriented and so my weights my not be high but say for squats I put ass to calve and for me becuase I am tall and have 16.5" calves its putting butt on ground. Squats would be 275 as mentioned for 7-8 reps no spot, Bench 275- 6 reps, Deadlifts 315- 8. Hamstring Injury was doing Stiff Leg Dumbells Lifts 20 reps 4 sets 75lbs last set was coming up heard pop and bailed on weight. No swelling or discoloration but Doc says severe strain and now I have 1 month of physical therapy and not cleared to really kill it on legs
