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.
