A shredded bodybuilder shared what happened when he stopped training for 100 days (video)

"It feels mad, to be honest"

Newsroom June 1 11:44

Bodybuilder and YouTuber Matt Morsia, better known to his followers as MattDoesFitness, has been doing rather a lot less fitness of late, following an Achilles tendon rupture which has left him unable to train in squats or deadlifts while he heals. In a new video on his channel, Matt provides an update on his recovery, visiting with his physiotherapist and finding out just how much strength he has lost in the last 100 days.

“At this point, the benefit does not outweigh the risk,” his physio tells him about returning to his usual standard of training. “A heavier, slow contraction is relatively safe. It’s if something happens and you’re holding a heavy bar, and you’ve got to step forward or you lose balance… that’s the risk.”

Ultimately, Matt is advised that he still doesn’t have sufficient range of motion to be doing the kind of squats that he wants, and is recommended a Smith machine variation. But he is able to start deadlifting with a reasonable amount of weight again.
