Hi guys,
I've had a hip injury for the last 6 months. I've been doing light squats and deadlifts (Starting Strength), but I can't do it anymore (too painful). Doctors finally found the problem and I'm getting surgery in about 2,5 months. I would like to continue to work out.
PT at the gym gave me this routine (alternate 3 days a week)
A)
Bench press 3 X 5
Barbell bench 3 X 8
Dips 3 X 8
Triceps ext. 3 X 8
Back ext. 3 X 10
Abs 3 X 10
B)
Press 3 X 5
Chin ups 3 X 8
Rows 3 X 8
Upright rows 3 X 8
Cardio
I don't have a lot of confidence in PT. At the same time, I'm somewhat lost since I can't do squats or deadlifts (or everything that requires "hip drive"). I don't like the fact that I'm not training my legs, but in the short term it isn't that big of a problem, since as a former hockey player my legs are more developed than my upper body (maybe I should add an iso movement like leg extensions???).
I would appreciate your input and critique of the routine. I am still at the beginner stage. Thank you.
