Member 3836, 4233 posts SQ 225, BP 200, DL 300 725.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq	Heres a little about myself before i start, My name is Stephen i have been training on and off since i was 16 (im 26 now) but alot of that was cardio as i was in the Army. I have always been intrigued in doing strongman and have recently started to train for strength and have even got my name down for my first comp (currently on reserve). So to the problem at hand all my lifts were coming along great working on alot of pressing and overhead work but as per usual when things are going to well something has to give and a couple of weeks ago i was in a head on car accident and its kind of knocked me for 6 im having a few problems with my right elbow its still swollen and pressing of any kind is out of the window for now i can train really light on arms and shoulders. Iv had 2 weeks off from the gym but i have to get back to training before i go nuts so have decided to work my legs and do cardio and abs but i need advice on a routine i was hoping to do legs 3 times a week Mon - Wed - Fri and doing core work and cardio Tue - Thur. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

If you've got hips of steel What were you doing before for your lower body? Just do that again. Squat/fronts/deads etc Some light upper work might help your elbow

I would proceed with caution using that program with existing elbow problems as it can hammer healthy elbows let alone a dodgy elbow What equipment do.you have access to ? An ss bar or buffalo bar can take a lot of pressure off the elbows if not swap one day for a leg press day

Sleep, a lot. ONLY do the squats! Don't add any extra in, the squats are enough! Eat some more Video as many sets as possible to keep on top of your form. Be relatively conservative with the max you put in.
