Man, I think I've overworked my back. I did back last Wednesday, and then I was away until Monday, so didn't work out in that time. I thought it was regular soreness, but it got worse after each day. I took some pill and said I'd rest Tuesday as well, and it got better. Then I did back on Wednesday again to see if everything was okay, and it's aching like a mofo.

I doubt you overworked your back unless you did something really insane. Might be a slight injury.
Tbh, I have it in my chest too, to a lesser degree.

Like heat packs?

For the first time ever, my shoulders feel sore after yesterday's workout. I never feel anything after a shoulder workout. During the workout they feel burned and want to explode, but by the time I get home everything is fine. Seems very random.

You can apply a heat pack yeah. Or some creme wich feels hot after applying it.
No need to take pills for that.

You probably made a wrong move and unbalanced a bit whilst doing the pulldowns.


Got a simular pain in my pectineus at the moment. Irritating when having missionary style sex (cant put knees to far apart), but it will pass from itself

it's probably 'advil' kind of pills.

Ya heat pack is fine, but if you gently stretch your back you ll feel better

Dont worry to much about it. If you keep pushing yourself to get better strenght, you'll encounter pains like this frequently, and learn the difference between this annoying bitch, and actual dangerous pains.

Remember the quote : No pain, No gain.

Nah, put Reflex spray on it, take a long warm up, and dont go to high in weights if it really bothers.
This is the time when you tell your body to stop beeing a whiny bitch, since pain is weakness leaving the body.

When i ran a smolov precontest, i had inflammation of every tendon in my arms. I took 4 ibuprofen 600/day to be able to train, put heatpacks before training and icepacks after training. During the intense mesocycle, i had to pour icecold water over the ellbow to be able to do the next set cause the pain was so hard it was affecting my form during squat, and rigidness during bench press. I kept going and improved my benchpress with 15, and squat with 22.5 kilograms in 8 weeks time, whilst dropping the first 10kg of bodyweight.

10 days before contest i had the accident i posted. skin and epidermis were separated over 10x10cm,2 fatpackages were torn entirely in the middle(this created quite the bloodloss), the hamstrings were damaged in 5 different places.
But i could do the squatmotion without feeling additional pain, so whilst damaged, i tought there were no tears in the muscle. And seriously, i wanted to win the total in the upcomming meet.
So 2 days after the accident i went to training as planned and i set a new squat pr wich improved 10kg. This with an upperleg wich was 70% blue of the internal blood loss (the picture are in this thread). I pushed trough, and got second on my first meet, setting the highest total, getting second on points and quite frankly, if i could have done conventional deadlift instead of beeing forced to sumo deadlift (conventional uses hamstrings to much), then i could have won.



Unless its a tear in the muscle, ligament or tendon, unless its a spine injury, there is no reason to sit at home. The only thing to do, is go training and tell that bodyweakness to shut the fuck up and demand gains.

Or like today.

I got both glands swollen in the troat, the left one hurting quite a bit. Yesterday i felt slight muscular pains all over the body (like a flu/fever) and my core temperature was up allmost a degree.

Today was a training day. Didnt feel much better. 12 people told me to stay home. X said "training could make it feel better". So i obviously followed X advice, put on a sweater and sweatpants and despite having pains when swallowing mucus or drinks, "cold sweat" and consistantly feeling cold yet sweating, i've put a new theoretical deadlift PR, whilst repeating my pauzed benchpress pr.

Didnt manage to eat for 7 houres and had to sleep an houre afterwards. But X was right. I'm feeling better now.

Zach, I don't want the kinds of injuries you just described :D Don't you think it would've been better to rest at the time than go through what you did?
Since i took lifting serious, i only rested once from training. Between december and februari of this year when i had a tear in the left erector spine, and i could barely stand up for a week.


I kept on training lightly with a severely pulled left rotator cuff, or when i'm sick.


I'm not the right person to ask permission not to train :tongue:

Hardcore is relative
I nearly fainted when i first tried ADP strangulator kneewraps. Gotto take some heavy ass stuff to be able to lift with that tbh.
its all in degrees really.

i'd go training with that shoulder, but warm it up very good, and stay modest with the weights
