Last night at the gym after working out back and arms I noticed my whole bottom of my forearm and bicep was black…I’ve been dealing with a strained ligament. (Tennis elbow) but nothing serious.
I was panicking hard when all of a sudden some older big black dude walked up to me and said “dude...
yes I am…I strained a ligament on my forearm right below the bicep on the right side…hurts but feels better once I start warming up with curls. I also took a couple of weeks off as well.
I am no stranger to these kinds of injuries…they take Months to heal…but hey I can still lift…I just make...
Same here…except for dumbbell side raises…I go heavier but do not lift all the way up…man this hits my shoulders hard…somewhat of a partial lift but I love it…then light for everything else…I mean very light doing sets of 15 to 20…it almost looks funny how using the small light dumbbells but I...
Your shoulder issue may not be the same case I had…I strained a ligament in my rotator cuff and could not even bench press 135 without extreme pain.
…after a Month and no relief I visited a Doctor and luckily he suggested I try a rehabilitation clinic before considering surgery as I probably...
I also want to say that I try to never put anyone up too high to the point that I strive to be just like them…but after watching all the bad things like Flex Wheeler has been dealing with and he still manages to make it to the gym…really what is my excuse.
Life is much more fun and better as a...
Guyz…just checking in with another one of those I am back posts…but this time it is real.😎
Today I almost needed a walker as I was walking to and inside a restaurant as my legs were very sore from hitting them hard again…I really should get on the bike thingy machine for 20 minutes after a leg...
That’s funny, lol…I’ve only been back at the gym for about a Month and actually completely forgot about my hand injury until the second week back. I now only get mild cramping around the knuckle area about an hour after my workout…the pain is like a .5 out of 10 very little pain…I take a couple...
Yes I…amongst many others miss Griz so much. He used to put so much effort into giving me advice on the many pm’s he would send me…I mean he would go way out of his way to help me out…I am eternally grateful to have chatted with him. RIP
I’m back…got the go from the Doctor to start weight lifting again. 😎
I miss chatting on forums and have a hard time doing that if I am not lifting.
These past few years I had a hard time getting back in the gym dealing with taking care of family members…finishing an online degree working on a...
Well…yesterday I got the okay from my Doctor to go back to weightlifting. 😎
He said I will feel some tenderness for a while and as of now I have around 98% full motion (but that last 2% makes it a 1/4” off)…but I do not notice any difference when benching with a barbell another words both my...
I actually broke the Metacarpus 5 neck which is under the pinky…so technically I broke my hand but yes this last bit of healing is now taking a slow time.
I just saw my Dr. yesterday…so far around 95% full range movement but still have at least 2 more Months for full recovery if not 3…still dealing with mild swelling which causes the loss in range in movement. My Doctor told me most guys with my injury “Boxer’s Pinky Fracture” is done from...
Thanks…yes I can now wrap my hand around a bar no problem there is just pain around the broken area (metacarpus neck break behind the pinky)…but I am not allowed to use heavy dumbbells or any heavy upper body lifting for about another Month.
…apparently it is the swelling that is keeping my...
UPDATE…progress in hand movement with only 1 week of rehabilitation and my Metacarpal 5 still being broke with a long bolt inside of it (which I cannot feel) and can now make a fist! :)
It is still not enough to fully wrap around a bar but my progress is shooting up so high so quickly just like...
