Just because I'm in total agony and my left nut is swollen like a softball doesn't excuse me from doing my workouts. Thank God for Kin Shi-Hai Do! This will do just fine until I can once again pump iron and stretch rubber. None of these exercises puts any stress on my groin, and with the exception of one, all exercises are performed whilst seated: 1. Triceps Extension I - Begin with your fists behind your neck, palms facing forward, elbows up. As you bring your fists up, rotate them until you finish with your arms fully extended above, locked, and palms facing forward. 40 reps. 2. Chest Press. 20 reps. 3. Biceps Curls - Curl both arms. 40 reps. 4. Pec Deck. 20 reps. 5. Triceps Extension II - Hands open, blades up. 40 reps. 6. Back Row. Begin with your arms fully extended in front, crossed at the wrists. 20 reps. 7. Concentration Curl. While standing, lean forward and brace yourself on the edge of a desk/table with one arm. Let the other arm dangle, and then curl it up in front of your body. 20 reps on each arm. 8. Shoulder Raise. 20 reps. 9. Lat Flap. Bring your fists up to under your arm pits with your elbows out to the sides and up. Flex your lats and your pecs as you bring your elbows down to your sides. 20 reps. 10. Lat Sweep. Extend your arms straight out in front at about a 45 degree angle to the floor, wrists crossed, hands open with palms facing outward. Flex your lats and triceps as you sweep your arms back, keeping your arms straight. 20 reps. 11. Pull In/Push Out. Extend your arms straight out to the sides, parallel to the floor, curl your arms in, turn your hands facing out, and then push back out. This also really hits your shoulders. 40 reps in each direction. Tomorrow is legs and forearms. I think I can forget legs for awhile. I think I'll be able to use forearm equipment while seated. |

Glad you're OK, but you should take a break from the workouts for a day or 3...  |

Yes, but what if I don't want to, though?

No, seriously, Mags, it's great to be back here in Pratt, Kansas.  No, seriously, Mags, the only bad thing is that it hurts. Other than that I feel fine. The only thing that will heal this thing is to not put any strain on it. Since those exercises didn't touch the hernia, then it'll heal, and I got in a 5-star, world-class workout. Again, thank God for KSHD! |

What about doing a virtual origami workout instead?
😎.
kidding aside, I’d rest for a few days. You’ll pick up right where you left off after you’re healed up.

If you insist on staying in the game work your squashing muscles holy Again, no, I say! NO! I was able to do my hernia free muscle building workout today, and in keeping with the KSHD phenomena, my muscles are really feeling it tonight. Maybe tomorrow I'll try a KSHD super-slow clean & jerk. No, actually tomorrow is leg and forearm day, but I obviously won't be doing any leg exercises, which leaves forearms, which I can do sitting down and which don't require any where near the exertion level of KSHD. I can just use my gripper and Mega Wrist Roller. No sweat. And then I rest on Sunday, so the next two days will essentially be a rest. But Monday Morning I'll be back at it! BTW, friends & neighbors, I really am touched by everyone's concern and well wishes. Really I am. |

I agree with Magz and MBS. Let it go for a few days. Give your body a chance to heal the damage that your body is already trying to recover from.
Go for a walk and foggeddaboudit.
If I had surgery and the pain was so excruciating that I had to take pain meds to endure it, I sure as hell wouldn't be doing anything more strenuous than easy walks, lots of water and lots of naps/sleep.
Even without the pain meds, I would do the same for a few days.
