Clean Dean- I too wish you success! A week out huh...that's getting down to the wire.
At age 48, I don't really think of myself as a bodybuilder, but I do exercise (freeweights and/or cardio) almost every day, and have for over 20 years. I watch my diet but I'm not obsessive about it (I've stayed well under 10% bodyfat since forever and I maintain pretty good definition/vascularity on my abs). People can generally tell I'm serious about this stuff even when I'm wearing a suit and the guys who test my bodyfat sometimes tease me about never "getting *really* serious and competing".
However your efforts turn out, I hope you're able to once again enjoy making exercise a regular part of your life. I don't really *enjoy* detailing all that much..to me it's a chore that needs to be done (done *correctly*
) but I genuinely look forward to every workout, even the cardio, year-in-year out.
hockeyplaya13- If I were in your (unfortunate
) situation I'd be hitting the hip-belt squats or a leg press machine. Concentrate on your legs while your hand heals up and you shouldn't loose much.
