Very new to this. What got me here is a motorcycle accident August 2024. Broke my femur badly and multiple facial fractures. Spent 6 weeks in hospital. Weights is part of my rehab but I’m doing extra on my own. I go to the gym five days a week. Day 1 Chest/triceps, day 2 back/biceps day 3 shoulders and day 4 is light legs/physio with an exercise physiologist. Then I start the routine again. I am just doing basic compound moves nothing fancy as it’s a small gym. Before this I was drinking alot and not looking after myself. The accident was a wake up call in some ways. I lost a lot of weight with my facial injury not being able to eat much bar hospital purée. Still have a slightly broken femur am still doing physio and light weights as part of the physio. Upper body is way stronger than when I started lifting 6 months ago. Have regained about 8 kilograms since January when I could start eating normally again. I also went on ostarine for 5 weeks but had to stop early as I have to have another operation to get screws out of my broken leg next week. I can’t wait till I can get in the squat rack and build my legs up. The broken leg is still smaller than the good leg. I don’t think I’ll be able to squat until feb March 2026. Yes my leg was broken badly. It now has a titanium nail thru the femur bone. I weighh about 80kgs my appetite has gone thru the roof since I began lifting. Also have protein shakes and was on creatine but it was hard to drink enough water. Didn’t really like it. I was thinking of asking my doctor for steroids to help build up my legs when the time comes. I don’t know how he’d react to this ? I am enjoying going to the gym you feel amazing after you get all pumped up you can’t beat it. I’ve noticed small gains in my shoulders and arms and it makes you want to go more and more. I would like to get on something at some point. Probably when I’m back to normal and no longer in any pain what so ever. If you ride a motorbike think long and hard about how you ride and assume every car is going to cut you off. Because one will eventually….
