What did you injure that requires such a minimal training routine? I can't help but think you might be missing out on some other options
Herniated cervical disc causing nerve root compression. My pushing strength (bench press, etc.) on the right side of my body is down ~75%, and my pectoral, tricep and various shoulder/upper back muscles have atrophied and wasted significantly.
My hope is that I will be able to strength train vigorously again within the next 3-9 months. Right now I'm just trying to not to gain too much fat, keep cardio fitness, maintain active habits, etc. I do some stretching and light weight resistance stuff, but, from my understanding, that isn't particularly useful or effective until the nerve is decompressed and the disc issue is resolved.
So, likely surgery + recovery time = treadmill/eliptical & lean diet to stay in decent shape sans weights.
I guess the silver lining is the akrasia-busting, willpower-boosting tactics I've been able to practice to stay physically active without my main hobbies of powerlifting (I HATE running) and eating (I was eating 3500+ calories a day and now I eat 1500...ugh).
