[size=medium]One sure-fire way to keep your progress to a sudden halt is having an injury. It's a thing we all want to avoid for the reason that it can affect us physically and sometimes emotionally & financially. It takes time to heal and recover,not to mention the pain it brings to the sufferer.
Whether it'd be torn muscle/ligament,bone fracture,joint problems or even make-believe ones to make an excuse or gain sympathy amongst peers..:D, we all know the catabolic effect it can bring to every bodybuilder.
Do you have a pre-existing injury that you want to share?
Chronic problem that flares-up from time to time?
And/or "The Big One" that leaved a permanent scar?
Share it here....thanks![/size]Ako most of the time sore muscle lang,pero definitely hindi ko wino-workout ulit yung same muscle the day after.
Rest lang and apply warm and/or cold compress
And minsan, pag sumasakit yung mga joints ko, nagtatake lang ako ng fish-oil(very effective)

Last August 2010, I injured my lower back from squats. I think I lost proper form in the last set
Got it checked by the doctor. No problem in my spinal column according to the X-Ray
I stopped all exercises involving the lower back
This January 2011, I started to slowly gaining back the strength that I lost by doing front squats. If I am correct, front squats has less impact on the lower back
However, just last week, my lower back pain returned.
I am going to have it checked again this weekAlso, last Q3 of 2010, I injured my left shoulder during a bench press
Whenever I try to do single rep on a bench press, it really hurts
But I noticed that push ups don't cause pain in my left shoulder
To reduce muscle loss and strength loss in my chest area, I maintained it by just doing push ups until the pain goes away
When I have it checked, the doctor said what I did is just ok
In my opinion, I'd rather do push ups than completely stopping chest exercises
It's ok now and I am back at the bench press lifting 120 lbs. Before the injury, I can just lift 90 lbs
Kasi if it's not an injury on your spine, usually pulled muscle lang yan or sore diba?
ganyan din yung sakin, Both Hot and cold compress lang yung ginamit and siyempre rest pag sore.
purchase a good quality Gym belt(back support) rin, i always bring one pag compound workout ako.
di rin masabi ng ortho na tumingin sa akin
ang advise lang sa akin last year ay magpahinga muna
naging ok na nung Jan 2011 at unti-unti na akong nag-squat uli
after a week, nalaman ko na ang front squat ay may less stress sa lower back
front squat na ang ginawa ko simula noon
sumasakit pa rin ng konti pero maayos naman ang leg training ko today
ito ang result ng training ko for today
front squat 100 lbs - 2 sets for 7 reps
leg press machine 440 lbs - 1 set of 10 reps
stiff leg dead lift 160 lbs - 3 sets for 7 reps
standing calf raises using barbell 170 lbs - 3 sets of 12 reps
wala naman akong naramdamang extreme pain during the exercise
pero papatingin pa rin ako sa ibang doktor this coming day off ko
Yeah mas better nga ang front squat if you have chronic lower back pain.
Ako nung nagsimula akong mag-squat and compound exercise, hindi muna ako nag-belt, hinayaan ko munang maka-adapt yung body ko sa stress para lumakas, at that time naman hindi sobrang bigat yung load na binubuhat ko, but as i add more weight I find the belt necessary.
Yun din advice ng trainer sa gym namin sa beginners, na wag muna mag-belt if mag start na mag compound.
it kept on coming back even when i lift light weights or just simply bending over is already a PUNISHMENT to me. but when i got busy on work and didn't have the chance to workout and when i got back it disappeared!
I got it again last week when I didn't have back support when doing heavy military presses (120lbs)
My back needed some rest because of the strain it had. Now, I do my presses on a shoulder rack/machine (dubbi what it's called) to stabilize my back compared to my old way of getting it from the ground.
Nung working student ako sa DLS-CSB, mag-10pm na nung matapos yung defense namin sa Stratgy/Straman. Mataas ang ibinigay sa amin nun, kaya tuwang-tuwa akong bumalik sa SDA bldg. parking lot. Kaso nakalimutan kong isauli yung remote para sa projector kaya nagmadali akong bumalik sa main bldg. E umabon pala; ayun nadulas ako sa hagdan mga 4-6 steps ang kinabagsakan ko't una ang pwet. Pero nakatakbo pa ako pabalik.
Kinabukasan paggising ko ansakit ng solar plexus at tailbone ko. Ang diagnosis sa akin, bruised tailbone. Ang ruta ko pa naman madalas, Commonwealth house->Diliman office->Taft DLS-CSB->Commonwealth house kaya palaging natatagtag yung tailbone ko. Hindi ako makapag-exercise sa upper body ng 2 months kasi masakit yung torso ko, tapos sa lower body, walang squats/deadlifts/leg press for 9 months kasi nababatak yung tailbone ko. Ang pwede lang na cardio sa akin, light swimming. Langya palang tailbone yan, ang selan at ang tagal ng recovery!
*Squat sa Incline Bench Press
Dati nag Squat ako dun halos parang dun na ko ang squat tapos Heavy…tapos nag kataon nung pag sabit ko sa kanan eh hindi ko naisabit kaya sumabit yung balat ko sa Kamay..at na troma nako mag Squat nun sa Incline ..
*Sagasaan sa Jeep
Ang dahilan kasi masyado ako nag mamadali…ayun may jeep sa kanan ko tapos nung dre dretso lakad ko pakanan ako hindi ko alam may jeep sa Harap ko..tapos yun tumalsik ako tapos bumangon ako ulit..nahiwa yung baba ko..may scar..pero hindi halata tapos yung right glutes ko sobrang sakit halos parang zombie ako maglakad…July 26,2010 to nangyari..
the doctor advised me stop all lower back exercises and I'm taking muscle-relaxant drugs
damn....
the doc says he's gonna have my lower back checked thru MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) if the pain doesn't go away after the drug medication
he suspects a slip disc
WTF !?
How can that be ? I am a lot stronger than before when I unjured my lower back last October 2010....
The weird thing is, I don't feel any pain in my lower back when doing deadlifts and front squats
I hope it's not a slip disc
@boss bakit naman bumalik yung pain ? heavy squat , deadlift ?
pero di naman ganung kasakit tulad ng dati
minor pain lang pero nabahal ako kaya ako nagpatingin sa doctor
160 lbs na ang kaya ko ngayon sa dead lift.... mas lumakas pa nga ako eh kumpara last year
di ko naman nararamdaman yung pain while doing front squats at dead lifts
kaya nga front squat na rin ginagawa ko since January 2011 dahil less stress ito sa lower back
mahirap ma-injure ang lower back.. spine kasi ang nagdadala sa atin... marami kang di magagawa
dead lift (all variations)
squat (all variations)
bent over row
standing military press
masama pa nyan, mga big compound exercises ang di mo magagawa
mukhang bench press at arm exercises lang muna ako ngayon... subukan ko rin muna ang pull ups pamalit sa lat pull down
Yung military press ko seated kaya ok lang...
for me ito yung pinaka nakaka injur sa BACK
kaya nga pull ups muna ang gagawin ko for back exercise... baka 6 sets na lang of 7 to 8 reps... ayaw ko naman totally ihinto ang back exercise. hihina kasi ang muscle pag di ginagamit
Kung may 1.5k ka, bili ka ng Perfect Pull-up sa Toby's para bukod sa makapag-pull-ups ka kung kelan mo gusto, makapag-inverted rows ka na rin.
ou pre ung seated military press, dun nai-injure madalas back ko pag heavy na at walang belt.
ngayon kasi 120lbs na ako sa military press pag walang belt asahan ko na na injured likod ko hahahah.
pag minamalas nga naman
2 weeks ako pinagpapahinga sa kahit anong exercise. kahit biking ay di pwede
walking lang daw
cheers to that.
so nu findings sau ng doctor bro?
Matagal tagal panamn din yan 2 weeks..
may nararamdaman kasi akong slight pain sa may lower abdomen area
sabi ng doc, baka daw may orchitis ako
dapat kasi daw, gumamit ng supporter kahit weight lifting lang
kaya pinagbawal sa akin ang kahit anong exercise na involved ang contraction ng abs
yung sa lower back, after 2 weeks ko pa malaman
nakakainis ito
walang kahit anong training... for sure, ubos ang muscle at dagdag taba
I don't know how this happened
I even got stronger since I started Sean Nalewanyj's training program.
Inhale on the negative phase
Exhale on the positive phase (exertion)
The weird thing is I don't feel any pain in my lower abdomen and lower back during the exercises
It's really annoying
I really want to train tomorrow but I have to follow the doctor's advice
dyan masusubok kung matigas ang ulo mo o hindi! ahahahah!
he he
nandito pa naman si PC at si PS3 at si PSP
sila muna dadamay sa kalungkutan ko
