DEALING WITH INJURIES AND ILLNESS<br />

You are going to get injured.<br />

You are going to get sick.<br />

Regardless of how careful you are in your training,<br />

how clean you eat, and how healthy you live, you are<br />

still human.<br />

Injuries and illness will occur.<br />

My theory for over<strong>com</strong>ing injuries and illnesses is<br />

simple:<br />

DO WHAT YOU CAN.<br />

If you are sick or injured, don’t use that as an<br />

excuse to skip workouts or stay in bed all day.<br />

Do what you can.<br />

Hurt your knee? Work your upper body. Work the good<br />

leg. Hurt your shoulder? Time to work on one-armed<br />

pull-ups and push-ups. Focus on your core and legs<br />

until your shoulder heals up.<br />

Tendinitis from using the grip too much? Sounds like<br />

it is time to focus on sprinting and jumping<br />

plyometrics.<br />

Got a little cold? Flu? Same thing: DO WHAT YOU CAN.<br />

Maybe it is just going for a walk. A couple sets of<br />

sit-ups and push-ups. But don’t just stay in bed all<br />

day.
