          Occur so i have a slight tear in the bice fem, but can walk around and manouvre myself without pain (but not ready to attmept any form of spritn or jump) what can i do to train for power whilst I’m injured. I can do power reps on bench press, and maybe a few med ball throws but what else? and what type of throws should i do?

          Clap push ups, depth push ups, power straight,…
          And a lot of medicine ball throws: medicine ball lying or standing chest throws, medicine ball one arm throws, medicine ball over head throws, medicine ball side throws, medicine ball sit-up throws, medicine ball seated back or side twist throws, medicine ball standing side twist throws, medicine ball seated or standing twists, etc.
          Can you do ankle jumps? Or jerk?

          Can you squat? When I destroyed my hammy, I could still clean and squat pain free.

          Squats – deep as able
          Cleans
          Vertical Plyos
          Start doing short acceleration runs as soon as you can. Only 5-10m.
          Rowing For Power – IE – 5 pulls as hard as you can
