I'd say keep your protein up at least 180 - 200 grams and work legs. I'm getting my acl operated on in a few days so I'll be out for at least that long but I plan on hitting upper body as soon as I can drive. | ||

Keep your protien intake up! and eat clean. Do some leg work and maybe a little cardio a few times a week. Use the time to recover and focus on a great weight program after the 6 weeks is up. | ||

Work on legs, adding mass to your legs will improve overall bodymass. Another thing you can do is concentrate on certain ab excersises. Try and see which upper body exercises can be done without using your hands, and of course, don't clench your fists. For traps you can do shrugs in a standing calf raise machine by shrugging the weight up with your shoulders only. For your chest you can probably get away with machine flyes if you have access to the right kind of pec deck, one that you can use your forearms to push against the weight. If you don't, you can just flex your chest daily as hard as you can, this will give it some kind of conditioning. For your lower back, some hyperextensions. Don't forget to flex the muscles in your arms and back daily, to help keep your neural pathways up to par. Time for your legs to grow, along with your calves. Then, when you come back, you can focus entirely on your upper body for a few weeks. |
