I wouldn't sweat it, 3 weeks inst a big deal. If you see any loss at all it will be tiny.

Just don't forget to keep eating right and who knows, you may actually benefit from a good rest.

I had sinus surgery a couple years ago. You aren't going to be out of the gym all that long. Just do as the doctor orders.

Mike,

Deviated Septum surgery? I had it - you'll be so ****ing sore and tired, you'll not think about lifting.

I need a nose job....
...or so I've been told.

But anyway...it's 3 weeks. Keep your diet clean while you're recovering up and you'll be fine.
