Battling back from injury sucks, but it looks like it's coming along well.
I just jacked up my left arm blocking a kick. It shows all the signs of a fracture in the elbow joint, but there is so much swelling and that area is tough to x-ray, so for now they haven't seen anything. So now, I'm down to one armed training.
Any suggestions for training legs? The list I've put together so far includes:
Leg Press
Pistols
Glute Ham Raises
Hill Sprints
Box Jumps (Although maybe not the best idea since the impacts seem to make my arm swell)
High rep BW squats
Dammit, I'm sorry to hear about that. Definitely one of the reasons I stick to lifting only!
I think you should still be able to squat, although maybe submaximally. I would think hill sprints might be tough on the arm as well. Another great option would be weighted step-ups, either with an X-Vest on or with the barbell positioned like in the Misha video. And don't be afraid to use leg curls and extensions if you find yourself in a pinch.
We'll all know it's only temporary... Good luck Stewy, heal up fast.
