Hey /fit/ I recently dislocated my shoulder and a rock climbing accident. I went to the doctors today and they told me that I need to take it easy and not work out for at least 2 weeks. This totally bums me out, because I have been trying to get /fit/ for the last year and I have finally made progress and now this happens.
>Feels like a total slap to the face.
I am sure some of you have had injuries, and I was wondering what can I do to maintain my gains for a while without working out

Do not try to workout anyway. You could change these 2 weeks in 6 month if you don't listen to these doctors. Just slow down a bit on the calories (you don't want to store fat), and keep eating proteins.
When you start working out again, go easy at first, light weights etc
Be patient anon, and you'll be fine.

OP here
jeeze, man that sounds rough. I wouldn't even try cardio, this are your nuts we are talking about. Those don't get repaired easily. Did you ask your doc if you could at least do upper body stuff?

so im in the army, and every one thinks im a dirt bag because my physician put me on a dead mans profile, which means im literally not supposed to do anything. and the procedure that im getting is they are going to burn the nerves in my testicle so i dont feel the pain any more, since ive had this pain for quite sometime and recently started getting worse. they cant figure out what it is

i have a russian friend who cut off his finger and got it sewed back on. the doctors told him to not lift but he did it anyway. man up pussy

>burn the nerves in my testicle
I am not a doctor but I recommend that they don't try to burn any nerves in your shaft. This could be caused by a dead vein fucking with your nerves

I am not an alcoholic who doesn't listen to my insurance company or my doctor
