No real injuries just a strained left wrist from stuffing up a power clean (still feels different from my right) Back can get very sore as I lean forward in the squat too much.
Me too. my poor old palm skin slid into a bunched up lump and then got crushed like a raw sausage when I did rows last night..
I haven't trained this heavy in years. Must remember to mash palm flesh flat around the bar before doing rows. Rippy skin calluses.
I grabbed some old sponges. They let me keep going.
i agree with NPR and silverback. lifting should not injure you. ive been training for a few years now and still relatively free from injury. tweaked a couple things but nothing serious. all my injuries come from playing sport not lifting weights.
I nearly killed someone at the gym the other day, was benching 3 plates, I finished my sets so went to re-rack the plates like a good little member, I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and removed all 3 plates off 1 side, the bar did a huge 180deg spin/flip, missed a bloke by about a foot... Luckily no one was hurt, I apologised to the bloke for about 10 mins, I felt horrible. That will never happen again. Posted via Mobile Device
Also, speaking of filthy nails, li was helping disassemble a machine at work 2 years back, something fell, I couldn't let go quick enough and got my ring finger crushed, ripped the entire nail off, snapped the bone off and my finger was about 10mm shorter... The piece of flesh was still attached to the nail, A few plastic surgeries later and my finger looks almost perfect now. Posted via Mobile Device
