Maintain during injury

[LTU94]

A visit to the doctor today revealed a strain that will keep me out of action for 2 to 4 weeks. What is best way to maintain muscle during inactivity? I really need total rest and can not do anything active.

What kind of injury? Is there and arm, leg, head...and so on. Its the way to go around things, but we need to know a bit more than only an injury. Let us know and we will suggest few things

The strain is in the groin/lower left ab/male reproductive parts area. Happened a week ago lifting heavy dumbells to do some shrugs. Had a wicked pain shoot down the left ab area and into the left "family jewel". Tried to ignore it for days b/c it was not a continual pain. It was just annoying. Did not have hernia, but doc said no exercise for two weeks and wait one month to lift heavy. I am just trying to keep protein intake at good level. At least 1g per pound of body weight until I can get back in the gym.
