Hey Everyone. Been a while since I have been on the site. Had a grade II hamstring tear and was pissed off at the world. Was about 7 weeks ago and still having issues. I am thinking I have not been giving myself enough time to heal. I started doing a lot of walking (stairs included) and only doing upper body lifting after a week of the tear. Did have some pain in walking. I was getting better after a month and added running twice a week and did have some pain the next day. I did a first half assed leg workout yesterday and feel like my leg is killing me today.

When I experienced the tear I was finishing up a 3 mile run and was doing 100 yard sprints for the last mile. I heard a loud pop and instant pain. I sat on the ground for 15 minutes and then limped home. Never went to a dr. Bruised around the knee and lower hamstring.

I think I have been pushing it too hard and am not healing well. Looking for advice on what to do. Should I drop all weight training for a time period until the leg heals? Should I do swimming for cardio and do upper body training only? Advice is much appreciated. Not on a cycle and am on TRT 160mg per week. I did boost to 200mg per week recently as last blood work was 593 total Testosterone. New Dr did not do Estrogen and have not been on an AI.

Also over last month have been half assing diet and have gained some fat. Obvious loss of muscle mass in legs. All other measurements are about the same. Small increases in lifts for upper body.

Thanks all!
