Title: Have you ever injured yourself whilst training?
Post by: webcake on February 13, 2009, 07:05:43 PM
If so what was it and how did it affect your training?

I personally haven't injured myself too badly when training, though i have an injury to my knee from football that, 2 years later, still affects me from time to time.

Hellz yes! 

I was doing behind the back shrugs on the smith machine and tweaked my neck.  It hurt for a long time.  Won't ever do that exercise again.

lol, i wish i could blame mine on golf.

It's funny, i had tennis elbow that would come and go, then all of a sudden it went away then returned in the form of golfers elbow.

Been ok lately though (touch wood)..... :-\

I did that too actually.

When I was a little guy in my basement gym I went to failure on the bench and had to roll it down my body and dump it. I hurt my nuts really bad. Also, I had a flexible, non olympic bar and I was doing shoulder presses and I racked it and it bounced and the inside of my shoulders/outside of chest came crashing down and I slammed into the thing that holds them. I bruised like Rihanna after an argument with Chris Brown, the bruising indescribable. So I went to the doctors and I had low platelets. I guess if I had gotten hit in the head I could die or something. So I had to stay home from school for 6 weeks and take some medicine. I was 13.

Welcome to old age Squad. I know the feeling, have you tried to run after a few weeks off? I thought my legs were going to need amputation.

It got to 60 this week, so instead of hitting the stairmaster I figured I would run a few miles. Not only was I filthy cuz of the mud everywhere, but my knees are still fucked. Getting old sucks.

triked my chest doing dips minor pain when training for 2-3 months. humm.. stress my back a few times doing hyper tensions, hurt my back squatting once. i don't squat anymore because my form sucks, and i don't want to get hurt.

couple wrists and ankles sprains, minor cuts and abrasions on hands because i don't wear gloves. 2 fingers smashed by plates. No real damage.

Really i get more banged up playing basketball pickup games, then lifting.

Slipped a disc in my neck doing shrugs.it would flair up every once and awhile and I would stop lifting for a week or 2.then it eventually got so bad that surgery was recommended.I didn't wanna go that route so I went with therapy,electric stimulus,stretching exercise...slept with a neck brace for months.Docs wouldn't let me lift heavy for close to a year and a half.
