Injuries are part of the process. Obviously it sucks when you look forward to lifting weights but you physically can't. The best we can do is try to prevent injuries with stretching etc. I'm 5' 10 and weigh 145 lbs and I've been cutting calories for the last 5 weeks. I started at about 156.4 lbs and have dropped 11 lbs with a cut of around 500 calories a day. I recently injured my thumb and I felt popping in my thigh so I took some time off to recover. Ive been running a Bulgarian inspired program for the last 4.5 months and it has got me to the strongest I have ever been. I have been focused mainly on squats and bench and my PRs shot up about 95 lbs on squat and 75 lbs on bench. Now with other activities I'm focused on I feel like the bulgarian program is taxing on my body because I started training martial arts and I already walk a lot. I still want to incorporate some bulgarian inspired principles but Im going start training a 3 day split(chest/legs/back) for about 5-6 days. I'm going start deadlifting again and on the days I don't deadlift Im going squat more. Injuries suck but we got to recover, heal, adapt and get back to work. I love this grind.
