How long after one is it safe to train?
Mark Rippetoe
I don’t know. What did they tell you?
Jason Donaldson
They told me two weeks for mine. In the grand scheme of things, if you’re otherwise strongly compliant, two weeks is a minor interruption.
I was still uncomfortable with being out for two weeks, mind you…but the description of what could go wrong if it started bleeding before it healed included the phrase, “grapefruit-sized.”
I waited the two weeks.
DukeSilver
That degree of shrinkage would worry me as well.

Any plans for more episodes per week in the future? I really enjoy them from Q&A to all the guests. I’ve been going back and listening to several on cholesterol and testosterone lately.
Mark Rippetoe
Not something we’ve considered. After all, I’m not Joe Rogan.
VNV
Next time Rogan calls, you might discuss it with him.
Mark Rippetoe
He won’t be calling back. I told him to stop bothering me every week.
