Im sorry to hear that brother. That fucking sucks. I know how it is to watch your numbers drop. Im sure youll get the strength back quicker then you think though. The 5x5 was real helpful for me, to recover my strength. And atleast you feel like your progressing on a weekly basis. Reduces much of the depression of training in a weaker state. Kept me somewhat saner. Then when you get back, youll be so fuckin pissed and fired up like I was, that youll tear your old lifts to pieces and hit new PR's. Im sure of it. Best of luck on your recovery brother and keep me updated. I found the grippers kept me fairly motivated when I was out of the gym for a month. Gave me some PR's to hit. Ill hear about you KILLING some more shit in the next few weeks brother. Dont get to stressed over it, just get fired up and fantasize about the destruction you will cause on the weights upon your return. Be sure to eat and train the muscles you can and hit them as hard as possible. When my back got fucked up I managed to add a 1/4 of an inch on my arms, which usually take a year, in a matter of months. I would train arms twice a week, and thats it. Even with the back and chest shrinkage my arms progressed. This has taught me that other areas can be increased even while others shrink/weaken. I have a feeling you will recover faster then I do on the bench strength. Its taken me over a month and might be 2 months+ before I regain 9 days of damage from the hurricane. I was getting 315x10 before the hurricane and only 5 reps 9 days after. Im unusually bad at recovering. Look forward to seeing you come back strong!
