I Tore My Calf 🤯
I Tore My Calf 🤯
This Gives A Comparison of What My Calf Is Supposed To Look Like Vs The Injured Calf.
I'm not going to lie.. being a bodybuilder, when I measured the injuried calf and it was 21" I was pretty excited 🤣
The root of the issue is my Medial Gastrocnemius, which is the upper left inside part of the calf. ended up being a Grade 2/3 Tear which is typically 8 to 12 weeks to recover. I will fully recover in 4 to 6 weeks. Maybe Sooner and will share the process throughout.
I will not be taking peptides or serious pain meds although this injury is insanely painful
I didn't do it working out. It happened carrying heavy luggage up a very steep unstable road in Costa Rica. The legs were prefatigued from a leg workout a few days prior and the Tibialis didn't have the flexibility which put all the weight on the Gastrocnemius and overstretched it and it eventually tore.
I am only weeks away from a photoshoot so my training will not stop even though the pain is high. I just have to train smart and focus on aggressive recovery.

➡️ This is not God telling me to slow down. This is the devil trying to limit me because he knows God is about to use me for something HUGE at our Rockbody Retreat.
Attacks happen often before/after BIG miracles.
STORMS WILL HAPPEN IN LIFE ⛈️. As long as you still have the ability to make choices then you have the ability to put your head down and press through the storm.
This is not a setback. It's an opportunity.
🙏 Appreciate all the prayers and will keep all of you in the loop with the recovery
COM'N BABY.. LETS GO 💪🦵
