I see decent results after I power through tired, ****** workouts. I just do what I can. Maybe the gains are just mental.

Anyone dealt with a foot injury that required time off of it with no weight? Been in cast/walking boot now since the 15th of Feb. I tried moving my car today but coudnt even push the clutch down. Dont know if it was a mental thing but I didnt wanna put weight on it til atleast I see the doc again on the 17th. My leg feels so weak bros.
When I get better though imma hit the gym hard. Felt like I gained so much weight cause im not mobile.

What do you guys do about having a ****** workout?
usually i'll just man up and power thru but today... :x finished my squats (feeling meh) then went over to the leg press to do single leg press and was just not having it. felt like chit. couldn't catch my breath, bloated and dizzy. all bad.
do yall just come back later on? very next day? next leg day??
This happened to me a few weeks back. I usually can to 285 for reps on squats. On this faithful day I could even get 225 up. I just move through my workout and took the L at the end of the workout. The next leg day everything thing was back in order. Maybe because I was thinking about it all week.

I had one of these days when I started bulking and noticed in the mirrors how i look bloated, face all blated and crap. Just felt like ****. Finished the workout and just shook it off.

Tweaked my hamstring Monday being careless. Been stretching, and rolling it, but it's still tight when I stretch it.
Anybody have many tips?
Leg Day is tomorrow, but I'm taking it easy on RDLs, and squats.

Diet is really making a difference. My weight scale always got me at 16-17% body fat. I'm currently 194 @ 6ft1. I guess that is good?

Happened to me last Saturday, I was back on my feet running today

also whenever you can, sitting, in bed make sure your leg is fully extended. it may hurt, but it'll keep it from getting/being tight when your recovered

Rice? I could Google, but maybe you can explain it better.
I've been stretching it multiple times a day. It definitely feels better compared to Tuesday though. It was pain with every step then. It doesn't hurt much now, but it definitely feels tighter than my left hamstring.

this happened to me yesterday on squats.
Did 2 sets, and on the last one I just folded under weight. Like my legs just felt weak as hell. I finished the rap racked and unracked and did some front squats with lighter weight.
Powered through the rest of my workout and took the L

Rest is always important
Try and Ice it with your leg fully extended, laying on your back or sitting up in a bed. Will reduce the swelling, and it will feel a lot better
Wrap it if necessary
Use a pillow to prop it up, not too much, slight elevation will work

Appreciate the advice guys, I'll start icing it now.
I have compression tights that go down to my ankles, do you think I should wear those this week?
As for elevation, I'll start doing that as well.

Your call bro, don't know how tight your hamstring is, but wearing those will keep it warm and somewhat loose if you're doing an upper body workout, or not using it.

I don't have the same flexibility in it as my other hamstring. Only time I feel tightness/pain is when I try to fully stretch it rather than just fully extending the leg.
Appreciate the advice.

Now I have to look into knee sleeves. It's going to be either Rehband or SBD. Most likely I'll buy next month.

wearing my knee sleeves has been a huge help. i don't squat big numbers but i can now do some decent pause reps below parallel. and going to parallel and below has actually felt much better on my knees than doing squats without adequate depth. i have a long ways to go though.

I don't mean to cause any ill will, but I'm curious...does a typical cross fit box teach their students about proper dieting? I ask because apparently 3-4 folks I know have been religiously doing cross fit for half a year or so now. This totally caught me off guard because their bodies remain the same. This conversation popped up at lunch. They joined me, went to Wendy's for lunch, while I was eating my home packed salmon and baked potato. I know cross fit has a lot of intense activities so I am not doubting that muscle groups are being activated.

i've ways thought they follow paleo. my gf came across a pic of my cousin online. he's been doing crossfit for 6 months and they posted a pic of his progress to date. def looks like he's doing ok with his nutrition.
