VERY wise advice. V-E-R-Y hard for us competitive types to heed. I know. I've continually injured myself attempting (and sometimes mastering) movements which are not orthopedically sound for me.
Presently, I'm trying to rein in my instincts and camp out on low-risk/high-reward movements. For example: dumbbell step-ups instead of pistol squats. Not as sexy, no. But probably the more sensible route to meaningful strength and hypertrophy gains.
Hope you heal up soon!
