Pulled Muscle

Just a little while ago I was experiencing pain behind my leg and I thought I might have pulled something so I did some research and tried to figure it out on my own. At first I thought the pain was coming from my lateral hamstring tendons were located. These lateral hamstrings connect to the biceps femoris to the fibula. Later when I went to a physiotherapist I found out that......i......was......totally........wrong! It ended up being lower down in my calf. I pulled a muscle in my my calf, it was the muscle that made me able to do explosive movements, so it took me right out of volleyball and basketball for 3 weeks.

Now that I am doing better I have now injured my back because of over using it. What happened was i was going to volleyball, which uses a lot of upper back muscles, then i would go home and do wide fly to work my shoulders out and back and because of this constant over use a super sore back came as a result. In hind sight its always good to take rest days.

sorry guys haven't been on for a long time but I'm here to give you an update on what is going on. I Have been working out 6 times a week and then taking sunday off as a rest day. Every second day I do core and legs and the other days is chest, arms, back, and shoulders. My goal was to put on weight and more muscle but i have found out at first that I lost weight and THEN started to gain weight so right now I am the same weight as before. I lost about three pounds of fat and then gained back those three pounds with muscle. I will be posting some videos I have found on youtube that I have found to be extremely helpful on making a work out plan for each week.

Some times it is really hard to keep up with working out, but most of all eating healthy is the hardest part and I definitely have not followed through with that. My mentor with healthy eating is my mom because she eats healthy all the time. One other thing that I don't like is how gross most healthy food is. notice how I said most and not all. SO, there is good, tasty, healthy food out there people you just got to find it and then get creative. Soon I will be posting some pictures of some of my favourite things that i have tried.
