Well my swole M-F*CKING friends. The ulnar nerve has impingement has taken a turn for the worse. Since I last posted on here I’ve had hand X-rays, neck X-rays, a neck mri, bilateral elbow to fingertip EMG test (tests nerve conduction velocity), seen 2 primary care Drs, 2 neurologists and 2 hand specialists (thank god for good health insurance). They are all pointing to bilateral ulnar nerve decompression and displacement at the elbow and wrist. Surgeries will be done separately, with 6wk recovery and 5lb limit with occupational and physical therapy. Probably give it a week or 2 after full recovery before the 2nd surgery.
So we are looking at another 14 g*d d*amn mother f*cking weeks of no working out.
I am asking for guidance, I have been natty for about a year now. So will continue that throughout the recovery process. But where do I put my caloric intake? Maintenance, slightly below maintenance?
I feel worthless and haven’t had a good regimented workout streak or cycle since the end of December of 2021.
Im thinking maybe like 100-200Cal below maintenance and I have access to a treadmill at home. So daily slow steady state cardio and lean up?
It would be possible to do unilateral upper body work and then legs (leg press, hip sled, leg extensions, hamstring curls, calves).
Im just at a loss, feeling worthless, seeking guidance and not sure what to do.
