6 weeks no lifting

Join the no training crew!!
Just have the rest! 6 weeks in the big scheme of things is nothing mate!!

I've started guitar lessons to take my mind off my injury and loving it.

No sexy time here for a few weeks too.

can't offer you any advice except to wish you a speedy recovery and agree with taurus ... use the rest and then get back into it when ready.

Wishing you both well with your ops, guys.
 
I wouldn't freak out about it too much fluff man.

Personally, I'd recommend something high volume/frequency for the 16 days. The reality is that no matter what you do in that time, it isn't going to have a huge impact on your training/lifts overall.
 
I was reading Mike T's ebook just now and came across this -

He splits his training blocks up into 3 parts - volume, intensity, concentration.
Volume blocks are high volume, lower intensity
Intensity are adequate volume, high intensity, extensive use of max effort work.

On the concentration block -

The third kind of Block is the Concentration Block. This
Block should only be used by the more advanced lifters as it
requires you to listen to your body more than usual, and it is
simply not appropriate for lower qualified lifters. In this Block,
the Volume and the Intensity are high - too high for complete
recovery between sessions. Think "controlled overtraining".
The body's ability to adapt to training is outrun by the stress of
the workout. When this Block is over, the body w i l l rebound to
higher levels of preparation in about the same amount of time as
the Concentration Block lasted. For example, if you did a three
week Concentration Block, you could expect to fully realize the
gains from this Block after three weeks post-concentration. This
Block usually lasts 3 weeks (never shorter). I personally
recommend no longer than 4 weeks. Concentration Blocks are
followed by Intensification Blocks with Low and Medium Stress
levels.'

Spritcha at his seminar said Mike T used the analogy of pushing an inflated beach ball underwater. The harder you push it in, the more it will rebound out.

Similar to what Tom said above I think. Just don't drown your ball :p
