Can't do anything with my arms for a week.

Sup ya'll.

I got a inflamated tendon in the elbow and I can't do anything with my arms for a week. So I'll do legs the whole week and detail work (Abs, Neck, etc...)

What would you all do in my case? What would a one week workout without doing shoulders / back / chest / biceps / triceps / forearms would look like?

Dude, just take a week off completely... its good for you to do every 2 months or so.

I was examinated by a girl who has her BAC in Sports Medicine. She told me to put ice on my elbow every two hours for the first 48 hours and to not workout and not use my arm at all for 7 to 10 days. BTW, I just have one arm that is in trouble (Right one, yes the one I use to *flap flap*).

I hope that works for you! I have 3 physio therapists one of them who worked for the boston bruins and another for new york. Ice is great for when it first happens aka the day it happens after that heat is what helps! I took two weeks off then went back to it and it was the worst mistake.. Is it your medial or lateral tendon?

Arrête de te crosser! :D

Seriously, just take the time off... it really helps anyways. Whenever I take 5-10 days off, I come back stronger.

well you could take a week - 2 weeks off and come back okay...or you could keep training damage them more, require cortison shots and be off for like 4-6 months!!!! a week minimum doesn't seem that bad eh

Well... What I don't understand is what's the problem doing legs? I'm not using my arms? No? Same for abs.
