I have a doctors appointment next Friday to hopefully get an ultrasound, potentially I’ll need surgery.

Looks like HIIT is out of the question for at least 6-8 weeks, as far as right now, if I need surgery it’ll be more more. I can still weight lift, but nothing that engages my core. So no benching, squatting or compound lifts. Big set back, but a temporary one.


Anyone have any advice to make the most out of my situation? Especially @Cdsnuts and @Maxout777
Just do as much as you can weightlifting wise and back off the HIIT of course. You can't hurt yourself more or this won't be beneficial, obviously. Calisthenics, stretching once you're able will be good. Tighten up that diet a bit, maybe less carbs with less exercise. Now's not the time to drink or be lax.

One thing I'd also recommend is BPC-157 (not something I would normally add to the protocol), for this instance only. It will speed up that recovery time great. You can either inject it into that area or take it orally. That's totally up to you.....it's great for the gut and dopamine system as well, so two other wins there. Could also inject TB500 into the area at the same time for double the recovery speed, but do your research.

I can't in good faith say it will not cause any additional issues in PFS state, as I've only used it after the fact, but it did dawn on me.
