Long story short, I can't lift or do much cardio because of additional injuries so I wanted to know if I had an impeccable diet, I mean near perfect and did cardio maybe 3-4x a week would i be able to still see benefits?? (this is my main question, did not want to start with massive wall of text and turn off potential answers lol, i'll explain my situation below for anyone interested)
alright guys before I get flamed let me preface by saying that I currently am unable to lift. I actually have not been able to consistently life since last April (going on a year, which is terrible as I'm sure you could imagine). I had an SL ligament reconstruction on my right wrist last Apriil, I had a slap repair (torn labrum, left shoulder) this past October, I am actually healed in terms of functionality and completed all my PT, obviously not 100% still weakness and a little stiff but functional and could actually exercise albeit with additional soreness and fatigue.I injured the rist october 2012. pain did not go away, eventual diagnosis and surgery april 2012. The surgery was pretty extensive, 3 screw and casted for 2 plus months (basically no range of motion or strength, and still have a vastly decreased range of motion, but the surgery was to prevent arthritis. I was still functional after the injury, since there was a lot of time passed between injury and diagnosis I was able to lift after the initial pain subsided just had to modify some workouts, I had a freak accident shortly before my surgery and tore my labrum, the pain was not that bad however the shoulder felt weak but with the inactivity from my first surgery it was not something I thought was serious, because I was not partaking in any physical activity for the most part.
after the arduous weeks of PT my doctor cleared me to lift as long as I did not put my wrist into hyperextension around july-august. I go back into the gym, I lost a lot of size. Im in the gym and my right arm is good, but my left arm is so weak (labral tear), i could not really bench and i was frustrated that all this time off and I could not yet build back up. So i dead lifted, and I realized it was not too bad i figured if I could just dead lift a lot, i'd still be able to increase strength and size ( my max was 405 ) and I am not a powerlifter, I was 19 at the time (im currently 20)and ive been dedicated to this since 16. so i did 225 and it was relatively easy. I wanted to tax my body so i do 315 and after the 4 month lay off plus a labral tear I realized it was a mistake, I felt a sharp pain in my groin, and my abdomen. (stupid i know, i was just irrational from being frustrated with muscular atrophy and pretty much losing my hard work more and more everyday). so currently im being evaluated for athletic pubalagia (groin disruption) which is why I can't do cardio, and i am being ultra conservative with my slap repair in october so I don't want to lift till im completely good.
(none of the initial injuries were lifting related, the only one that was, was the sports hernia)) so with that said, I could do cardio but sometimes my abdominals groin acts up, which is why I cannot do it every day, maybe 3x a week, if i was able to run every day plus diet than i think i'd be fine but since I can't idk I woner if anavar would kind of boost my fatuburning along with great diet (btw I took anavar when i was 19 for two months, I didn't use pct and I really had no side effects) idk maybe stupid of not worth it, im just grasping at straws this had been a really long year lol ;/
