I sustained a thigh contusion two weeks ago playing basketball. I still have limited range of motion on that leg and after seeking medical attention was told that it would take another 3-4 weeks to completely heal, since I also tore quad muscle.

Under these circumstances, should I continue to workout only upper body? And how should I do this?

I was doing Defranco's WSFSB so I could just do the two upper body days each week. Alternatively, should I train the uninjured leg (my left one) unilaterally? It is slightly weaker overall than my right (when it was healthy) but I do not want to create any weird inbalances.

Thanks for any help and input! Injuries are frustrating :mad:

Work out upper body. Let the leg recover. You will catch up fast enough when it heals. Think V shape for summer. work the back - big muscles. :bb:

Keep working upper body...:nod:

DO NOT train the one healthy leg...:nono:
