Concussion and Training
So I managed to get a concussion in a massive collision in lacrosse game this past Tuesday and can't practice or play or anything until at least next Thursday when I go to the doctor again to maybe get cleared. I was wondering what the rules are with lifting or working out with a concussion once headaches go away. I'd just ask doctor but I forgot to while i was there and haven't been able to get in touch with him. I was just wondering if anyone here would know whether I'm okay to lift, should wait until I have no headaches at all anymore, or if it goes under the taboo category of activities right now. Thanks!
I'd concur, don't go for maxes. I think you're okay to continue, but don't max that's all, and don't just trim a few lb's off weights, I'd go for 50% off, so you really aren't taking a chance.
You'll still get some stimulus, and any potential Atrophy, (depending on you keeping diet consistent), will be very low.
