Don’t get discouraged.
It’s not always about weight.
Oftentimes injury can result from technique or even repetition – you can wipe out your elbows from swinging a tennis racket.
And how much does that weigh?
I knocked a rib head off of my thoracic vertebrate one time just loading a case of beer into a shopping cart. It wasn’t heavy, nor did the movement even feel the least bit awkward, but the pain was very real. It was a good example of the cliché, “anything can cause anything.”
Get better, and get back into it…
…safely and smart.
And don’t compare yourself to the guy DL’ing 5 plates. Don’t compare yourself to anyone except you. That’s how you measure results.
