It'll heal - don't worry. You got your whole life to get big and strong. Have you tried the old heat/cold combo on it yet?

I think it's too far past the beginning of the injury for the heat/cold method to be effective. I really hope stretching and mild cardio has a big impact, I didn't do nearly as much as I should have before to aid in it's healing. Tsk tsk tsk... |

I'd give some really hypocritical advice about needing to take a break and letting your self heal, but that's not my style  . You know what your body can take and what it can't. If you push too hard, its gonna make you pay for it. So as long as you keep that in mind with your workouts, you'll be OK.

I've taken off 3 weeks now to let it heal, I'm not gonna let it stop me now lol. It's getting better slowly. I might stop deadlifting for a while, but I dunno. We'll see how it plays out over the next couple months.

Did you go to physio, or a massage therapist for the hamstring? Sometimes I think they're miracle workers.

Nah, if someone else massaged my legs I'd start laughing like a little girl. I'm way too ticklish lol. I might start massaging/rubbing it myself along with stretching whenever I get around to it.

LEGS, Thursday, August 25, 2005
Squats 10 x 45 lbs, 5 x 135 lbs, 3 x 185 lbs, 1 x 225 lbs, 3 x 245 lbs
Leg Press 1 x 270 lbs
Seated Calf Raises 3 sets of 8
Decline Sit Ups BW x 10, BW+60 x 10, BW+80 x 10
Notes: ****. I can't do squats, SLDLs, deadlifts, rack pulls, leg press, etc. etc. etc. I hate my hammy! I'm gonna have to become a bench freak for the next few weeks, months, who knows. On back day I can still do rows and pull ups and such, but it looks like my leg day is going to be calves and abs from now on. Yay... Ugh this is frustrating. |

I know exactly how you feel. I actually did the calves/abs workout yesterday due to my knee and lower back. There's no point in pushing it, just roll with what you can for now. Have some fun with it since you are stuck without leg work. Try one of those PL bench programs where you bench 3 times a week or something.

Something is better than nothing. How about some hill walking or treadmill walking with an incline. Great way to get some indirect hamstring action. Also, use a Swiss ball and place your heels on the ball and roll the ball towards your rump.
Be patient. |

That's not a bad idea. Dark posted one a while back. I think it basically looked like this.
After a week or 10 days, test the hammy with sets of BW squats or light squats with DBs. You won't lose much even if it takes 3-4 weeks to heal. Muscle memory, dude.
