Fellow body builders. I train 5 x a week splitting muscle groups down into 3-4 workouts each per week.

Today a dog in the park kept provoking my dog until they got into a fight. In separating them, the other dog which was a pitbull mix bit my finger. Rushed to hospital and had to have stitches and dressing etc. They told me I'd not be able to lift weights for 3 weeks.

Now I can still of course do legs and abs and pressups if I am careful, but no upper body exercises such as benching, shoulder pressing,curling, deadlifting etc. I'm quite upset about that and I am worried that all the size and defintion that I've spent the last year working hard for under a diciplined routine and diet will become depleted.

What are you're thoughts/experience with this and how long muscle breaks down in? Very much appreciated
