Sidelined By A Minor Injury, And What I Plan To Do About It
After lifting one day I felt an ache in my shoulder, it was an unusual. So much more so when I bring up the fact I hadn’t
done shoulders since last week. So I rested for a few days, not one of my favorite things to do but I did. Especially now
when I am that much closer to putting up the big 500 on bench ( but maybe that is one of my issues also ). So I gave in
and saw my Dr and he stated it sounded like a bone spur, but to be safe he did x-rays ( as a side note being an athlete ,
I should be able to glow in the f-ing dark , I have had so many x-rays ). They came out clean , other then the bone spur,
so I was off to figure out how I was going to adjust my training schedule. …show more content…
Then you account for the difference of what I would lose if I was sidelined for 6 months, I would
probably not lose too much weight , because I would just become a fat bastard. To be honest when I am not lifting , it all
falls apart. I wouldn’t eat right, not cardio would be in sight. I mean I totally self destruct, mainly because I get the
fuck - its, it’s an all or nothing type of world for me.
The main reason I write about my own experiences is because , I watch so many people panic when they get a minor injury or
get sick ( I happen to be lucky enough to get both ) , and get all anxious on what to do. Some decide to lift and get
injured , others panic and end their cycle , while some just whine and cry about something that really isn’t significant.
The point being, a week or two lay-off is not significant , especially when you have been lifting for 16 years like I
have ( not saying that’s all that long ), it is not much time in comparison. Listen , there are some small injuries you
can work through , but shoulder , knee , back ( especially lower back ) , and neck are the ones I pay attention to and
refuse to underestimate.
So remember , listen to your body and rarely will you mess yourself up, listen to your ego and your doomed and
