Hey guys,
Well last week I was diagnosed with impingement syndrome in my left shoulder. I am following the stretches the doc gave me as well as doing Dante's towel/bar stretches 50X2 a day. I figured I would go ahead and take the other 5 weeks off the doc recommended and keep doing his and Dante's stretches. I am trying to really focus on my diet/cardio/leg training in the meantime. My current plan is to do legs 2x a week Monday and Thursday. I want to use this time to really build some tree trunks while I let my upper body rest. I am looking for some advice here because like most people I follow a lot of the old school approaches (eg Arnold) to training legs. Please critique/offer any advice.
Today
Squat 15 warmp up, 12,10,8,6 (pyramiding weights up)
Hack squat 12, 10, 8 , 6 superset lying leg curls 15,10,8,6
I can't do deads with my shoulder - any suggestions?
Leg press 12,10,8,6
Leg extensions - light weight 3 x 15
Standing calf raise 3 x 15
Seated calf raise 4 x 10
Donkey calf raise 3 x 15
I am guessing a lot of people are going to say fewer sets heavier weight. Just looking for some input here and what has worked for some of you guys in the past.
Thanks,
Ben
