I just experienced perhaps the most frusterating thing to happen to a bodybuilder; cutting a whole workout short due to overtraining. This is real overtraining too. So that means I'm going to have to start from scratch and take a rehabilitative course of action. The problem is, I've never had to do this before, I just know it's what needs to be done.
Here are the pros and cons to my situation:
PROS
Only my soleus is overtrained. The rest of my body, especially my upper body is gaining strength and size just fine.
CONS
My soleus is in overtrained mode from sprints, weights, and jump rope. I know I'll have to omit the sprints until a FULL recovery happens. That means no cardio. Do I just cease all cardio? I don't want to, so all I can think of is stationary bike (no calf involvement there). But I'm sick of stationary bike.
Any ideas on forms of cardio that have little to no calf involvement would be great. Thanks for the help.
