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.

Tore chest twice, torn meniscus and slammed my dick between 2 DB's while doing heavy side laterals when I was 18.

Just recently injured my front delt... think it's partially torn or possibly strained... sucks...

other than that a bad elbow and a bad wrist.

I've also had both tennis and golfers elbow, mostly on my left elbow. That too seems to come and go...

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.

I have that now but it's really from golf and not training.

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.

Last rep on heavy (for me) deads, turned my head slightly to the left. Ouch, that bitch killed me for days.

ok, so maybe i have injured myself more than i realised...

$:-\$

I hear ya. I tore my rotator cuff 12 years ago, had surgery, and (again) 12 years later, it is still fucked up. $:-\$

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.

never an "injury" but there isn't a day i'm alive when either a knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, back, bicep tendon, etc. doesn't hurt.

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.

pinched a nerve in my back while shoulder pressing behind the back, took 3 months to heal

missed a clean and the bar went over my hand, felt it for the next half a year

not really an injury, but hit my nose with the bar on the jerk, was lucky did not break it
