Also, as somebody with a history of hamstring ailments (including partial tears,) I'd HIGHLY addvise that you take rehab seriously. I fucked around with my recovery after my most recent hamstring injury and my hips are now hopelessly uneven.

Damn! I'm sorry to hear that man. Was there any indication before it happened, such as really tight stretch or pain/cramping, etc?

Get to the doctor! I hope this won't screw your bulk 😢
Popping a hammy isn't a new thing for me, I'm susceptible to them.

I can feel the injured muscle with my fingers. I follow it down to the knee, tendon still intact. Can't really follow it up to the hip, but the pain is squarely in the muscle belly.

No bruising, just soreness. I think I lucked out.

Coffee, with sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
Fistful of Salad Greens
2 Fish Oil caps, with Vit D

Intra Workout Shake
2 scoops Gatorade Powder
1 scoop Whey Isolate
1 scoop Creatine Monohydrate
Salt and Potassium Chloride

That's about 3600 Cals, I'll have some ice cream too, because it's 🤗🤗🤗



Late Edit.....
On work days, I eat a late dinner, so in place of the Snack, I have a 3rd lunch, which is usually leftovers from the prior day's dinner.

A) Lying Leg Curls, 3x15 @ 30 lbs
This was just to move through a good ROM, to prevent any scar tissue from forming at the tear, and to get fresh blood and nutrients in there. I could feel the tear, but it was fine.

B) Power Squats, facing IN, 3x6 @ +410
Went lighter, and stayed away from failure on these. I didn't feel the hammie at all.

C) Power Squats, facing OUT, 3x10@ +180
Same as above, went lighter not near failure, didn't feel the hamstring.

D) Leg Extensions, 3@r9+
110x16, 100x15, 90x16

E) OH HS CS Upper Back Rows, 3@r9+(8-12) + 1 Down Set
180x11,8 160x10 120x15

F1) ALT DB Curls, 4x10-12+Drop Set
35's x 12, 30's x 12, 27.5's x 12, 25's/15's/10's x 12-11-13

F2) Seated Calf Raises, 4x~20 Reps

SHOULDERS and shit....

A) Barbell Strict Press, 3@r9+(6-8)
160x5, 135x10,8. Hurt like hell to press today, I'm battling a sprained thumb. Tapped out of set 1 early, hurt too bad. I was able to tolerate 135, but I wasn't able to press in the proper groove, so stayed away from failure.

B) HS Shoulder Press, 3@r9+(8-12)
150x10, 140x9, 130/110/90x9-5-7(drop set) I was able to modify my grip on this machine, got 3 good sets in.

C) HS Chest Press, 3@r9+(12-15)
140x12, 120x13, 120/100/90x11-7-7(drop set)

D) DB Laterals, 3 Quality Sets
17.5's x 28,20. 17.5's/15's/12.5's x 15-6-6 then immediately into an outstretched arms hold with the 5 lb'ers until I couldn't hold my arms up any longer. Yeah it hurt.

E) Cross Cable Tricep Extensions, 4x15-20
15's x 22,16 (both sets were stepped out from the stacks) 12.5's x 12+5(step out+in), 9+6(out+in)
