Hey im Adam, new here but not to training. Anyway to cut it short im about to leave the army as i was severly injured. Basically i had a huge hole in my chest/side. As a result i lost most of my right pec muscle, needless to say training is difficult now. Before this id been training for arund 2 years and was about 190 pounds at 6 2 with 10 percent b/f. Now thats just fallen off me and im about 170-75 with 14 percent b/f. Ive recently started training again, but my other side compensates alot for my right aswell as i cant do dips, pull ups at the mment or heavy bench. Mainly because alot of the stress is transfered purely to my arms so i need to add some serious mass and strength to them before i can really try and progress. I have thought of starting a cycle but im still pretty young and not experienced on the topic enough imo yet although i have researched it. I was thinking abou mass fx or/and hyperdrol but im really unsure. I needto add some serious mass to other bodyparts before i can strt on compound movements like bench, and doind wide arm heaves before i can go anywhere. Any tips or advice on where i should go from here would be much appreciated, thanks alot. Adam

Welcome to this forum YoungGun...Do I know you from another forum ? Sorry to here about your injury...Sounds pretty fcuked up...Great to here your sticking to it though. You can work around most injuries, you just need to be creative about it...You might also have to come to the reality that certain things you used to be able to do just aren't available to you anymore... Ton's of good ppl on here with all sorts of backgrounds...so I'm sure together we all can get you to the level you desire...Cheers

Im not sure, were you on muscle and fitness? Yeh iv had to accept there is alot i cant do anymore, but its suprising how much you get bak with time. I used to be really fit but i cant really do that to anywhere near the same level so i just focus on physique now even though its pretty mashed anyway. Just need a good solid base for my chest, the deltoid and rotator cuff have already taken slight injuries but seem to be better. Thanks for the support. Ad

hey mate , I'm giong to jion the army as soon as I can (I'm 15 nearly 16) is it possible to continue Bb because I've heard you loose mass / muscle in basic training ?

YoungGun

Because your so young you will most likely go in as a junior which means yur basic will be more spread out and not as intense as an adults. Even so i dont think you can bb in the army really, esspecially in basic, and yes id expect you will lose some weight. It all depends what you go into etc. When you get to your battalion or whatever you can lift weights and get bigger than average joe but not a bb by any mean. I was 190 pounds with 10 percent b/f and could run 1.5 miles in boots in 8.30 mins. So ou can still be bigger than the average guy andbe fit. hope this helps

corbuk

thanks , bigger then the average joe sounds good ... Most joes are skinny / fat
