One of my training partners just started squatting again about three weeks ago after having an adductor injury. After it healed, he made great gains and I believe he's squatting the same or more weight now than before. Good luck. You'll be back at it in no time.

Winter 2009 Training
Mesocycle 4 - Week 1
Workout A2
Beginning Thoughts:
Time to heal... Workout:
Overhead Squats:
95 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
115 lbs x 3 reps
135 lbs x 1 rep
145 lbs x 1 rep
155 lbs x 1 rep
I tried hard not to break at the knees first. I have never concentrated on where to break at because it's always been instinct for me. BUT, I am consciously focusing on using hips more and more.
Rack Deadlifts:
315 lbs x 6 reps
335 lbs x 6 reps
355 lbs x 6 reps
315 lbs x 6 reps
I just wanted to play around with these..so I did sets of 6 reps. It was sort of hard but I wasn't focusing as much as I should have.
Good Mornings:
135 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets
Hammer-Grip Chin-ups:
BW x 5 reps x 3 sets
Front Planks with various variations:
30 seconds x 3 sets Videos:
Overhead Squats:
Overall Impression:
I am trying to eat better. Diet has improved quite a bit, actually. My tendon is feeling better as well - no pain whatsoever. I'm gonna wait for a week and then get back into heavy front squats (for quality volume).

hahahha....Yeah my gym in Bombay is fucking crowded as hell. And nobody uses the damn power cage so they've put it in the corner behind some other machines and everytime I go back home I have to move those other machines so that I can use the powercage.

You know you got down on you're training as soon as you went home. I know you love home of course but the gym environment can make all the difference. Could be that had a whole lot to do with how you felt.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

^^^ I agree. Next time I go home (this summer) I'm gonna be a member of another gym plus my club's. I think that the whole bitchiness that goes on in my gym and the jealousy spouts too much negativity that I don't want to deal with. People should live and let live.
