I recently suffered from a shoulder injury so I haven't been able to keep up at the gym the last two weeks

I should be able to start lifting soon

Probably depends on the person. A month or so for me. If won’t take long to get back to where you were. Flip side... don’t allow long enough for something to heal and you will legit injure something. I’ve been knocked out of the gym for six months because of this.

Fwiw, there have been studies showing that training the noninjured side results in maintained strength and mass on the injured side - so don't simply lay off during injury.

So workout only one side of the body?


Sounds interesting,

I continue to do a little bit of cardio
