hey guys, was out with friends last night...buddys bday...was having a great time!

we all no abuse towards women is wrong, so whenever i see it, i do what i can to stop it!....so last night there it is...some guy beatin his woman out behinid the bar...i went over told him to stop, he swung at me...and i cracked him...drop like a sack of potatos....any ways...just got in from emerg...5 hours later with a cast on my right hand....doc says 4-8 weeks before heald....

shitty thing is, dieting was going great...now this...so what do u recommend?

i was thinking

of working what i can, legs, calves, abs and cardio basically..cardio at about 1, 1.5, 2 hours per day?? and keep the same diet...

shitty deal, even legs is hard to do, get to have fun with cardio i suppose.

You don't need your hands for leg press, hack squats, leg extensions, leg curls, calves. It's time to get your legs big. You have no excuse now.

lol! 6-8 weeks of leg day for you .. your gonna get tree trunks man!!!!

Anyway yea the metacarpal is most likely what you broke .. i did the same thing on a brown belt test once upon a time its really easy to do if you dont lead with your first 2 knuckles!

ok well good luck with the legs man ! (maybe your pants wont fit in 6-8 wks) heh heh !

hahah

Yah, i broke my 4/5th metacarpels punching out some guy as well - did they need to put a pin in your hand too?

**lucabratzi** · 05-08-2006, 04:48 PM

when i got injured last year i was dieting down too...after i got injured i couldnt train for 8 weeks...i lost so much weight...my advice would be dont restrict cal's...train legs if u can..grabbing weights is goin to be a bitch...but stay away from restricting cal's to much...

**cfiler** · 05-08-2006, 04:48 PM

Sorry to hear about the broken hand. I'd focus on abs, legs, and cardio.

**ya_man** · 05-08-2006, 09:14 PM

dont restrict cal's eh?...hmmm...i see where your coming from...like today for intance i might of had 70 carbs at the most....probably more like 55....damn these next few weeks are gunna suck!

I feel your pain, I broke the **** out of my hand one time, actually I believe I had shattered it. I dont know for sure because I never went to the hospital, it healed itself, which took forever!!!! I in fact did lead off w/ the first 2 knuckles, and the break happened way down just in front of my wrist. It ****ed it up so bad my middle knuckle on my right hand is forever about twice as big as the one on the other hand, and I have a big lump on the top surface of that hand. Funny thing was, I had no idea I broke it until about 3 years later when i fought in a toughman and the doctor had to look at my hands.
