I’ve noticed a lot of members dealing with injuries lately. Sorry to hear you're going through it brother. Wish you a quick and smooth recovery.

How good is a steak after training ……..

 

[Broken man]

Injuries are heart breaking. Especially when your on a roll. You need rest but still go in and try to smash a session.
I know its easier said then done but
worry about what you can do rather then what you can't.

 

[chinz]

Yes very true, we all get injuries, we find ways to work around them, my issue is mainly shoulders, problems persists for about 30 years now, have not trained shoulders directly for over ten years, they benefit as secondary and tertiary exercises

 

[Broken man]

I no longer bench because I've ****ed and semi healed my shoulder tendoms 3 times before finally realised that benching 6 plates with Big Mick only spotting me was insanity in it self.for 1rep ain't ever going to happen again. Even less 140kg then then 80kg before it finally snapped in my head that even though benching is awesome there comes a time when you just realise what's really important still able to train or just keep wishing.
At the end of the comp I'll reveal how severe my hernias are probably post op I'll retire from deadlifts.

NO **** THAT!

 

[chinz]

I have not done bench press for about five years, I rely on dips, most important is not to cause to much of a stretch when lowering the weight, this is also scientifically proven that extra stretch adds no extra benefits and is asking for trouble, if only I knew this like 20 years ago

 

[Dunstone]

I don't include barbell bench press, deadlifts, and squats in my workout programs for a specific reason. As a novice lifter over 40, I focus on using other exercises to replace those 'big lifts'. Additionally, I prioritise deloading regularly, and my rate of perceived exertion (RPE) increases over a 4-week mesocycle and then decreases with a new mesocycle.

I've had to stop squats, deadlifts and overhear shoulder presses...

Work around it mate

I refuse to bench any more than 100 kg

 

[chinz]

Today I tried benchpress light only 40kilos and shoulders said no ways

 

[chinz]

Gentleman listen when you guys bench or do dumbbell presses etc there is no need to drop the weight all the way down in order to get that extra stretch, it does not Benefit anything all it does is it causes strain on the shoulder tendons leading to a condition called bursitis which is inflammation of the one nerve in particular this because it's the shortest nerve in the shoulder, this condition becomes chronic and it's a total B..ch to say the least,

I'm really sorry to hear that your injury is still giving you trouble. I truly hope the injection this week brings you some much-needed relief. If it helps, consider adding in some peptides BPC157 and TB500 to support your healing and recovery. Take care of yourself!

I've had similar situations in the past so I know exactly how you feel. You can always train your legs and keep the cardio going.
