Thank bro, the 90* barbell rows will have to due for now! Power cleans and deadlifts might put to much strain on my LCL.

That's right... I forgot... ugh, dang... probably very limited then...

I'd stick to heavy ass hammer strength machines.. zero leg involvment... load the plates on there

try to do some lightweight lifting from the floor when you can though... strenthens the postierior chain like NO other... Good Mornings too, slow and controled.

How about weighted chins? They are always a good time? Use the underhand grip to handle more weight.

^^ YES!

lol... i never think of them cuz I suck at 'em and need to incorporate them too

Wide grip pullups (really wide grip, not a pussy in between grip) and eventually weighted wide grip pullups did wonders for my lats...

+1 for weighted pull-ups, especially if you can't involve legs. I do a 5x5 style scheme, but modify it by changing grip over the 5 sets. e.g:

1st set = really wide overhand
2nd set = moderately wide OH
3rd = medium/narrow OH
4th = underhand
5th = neutral (palms facing inwards)

Keep the eccentric portion slow and controled, the concentric fast and controled, and use a full ROM (really stretch out at the bottom, and really squeeze those shoulder blades together at the top).

Don;t forget to treat what ever exercise you choose like you would a compound lift. Make sure you are adding weight to the bar each week.

Also - I would focus on training lifts and not your "lats". Best of luck.

I was training for an up comming MMA fight a few months ago and tore my LCL. I was very fortunate it was only a grade 1 tear! I had my brace removed sept 25t and was cleared for light work outs/rehab.

I cant spar or do heavy contact training so i am left with cardio and bag training, light lifting. Doing cardio x2 a day 4 days a week, lifting 4 days a week, and boxing .

Sorry bunny i forgot you were MIA for a bit, i posted b4 in my old log.


Great advice folks, i did weighted pull ups yesterday they were hard as hell lol. I felt the burn tho!

Not on hand, but i can get someone at my gym to burn them on a cd for me. I've only had 6 MMA fights, I've had 147 amateur fights in boxing tho! Boxing is more of my passion, i love MMA but i've got a family to think about lol. The best MMA fighters i've seen are the ones with nothing to loose
