Injuries and Training

[bigdlisus]

For those who have had injuries such as multiple torn muscles or blown out knees or shoulder injuries, do you find it hard to train all out like you did before the injury/injuries? Myself i have had multiple torn muscles and now i find myself scared to train all out and with each set i hope and pray that nothing happens...Just looking to see if anyone else is in my shoes.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY.......IT SUCKS BUT I DONT WANT TO TEAR A MUSCLE SO I BACK OFF ALMOST EVERY MOVEMENT ..........I NEVER TORE A MUSCLE BUT A PULL SUCKS ALSO,.........GOTTA BE CAREFUL

As a matter fact, just today tore my inner forarm muscles, the
ones for griping, Flexor carpi ulnaris and Palmaris Longus doing heavy
barbell curls damn it. pain was so bad with a golf ball size knot.
I think I'm f...cked for the next 6 months.

AS Phil said. There comes a time when yu must realize you are not bullit proof. Once all these injuries creep in you need to train smarter and with some form of sanity in mind. NO you cannot go all out like you used to. NO-one can.

I feel you guys pain, I'm only 31 and have tricep issues at the elbow, knees are always popping and hurting, the arch of my foot hurts and now the latest is my mid to lower back. It's hard for me to sit in the pews at church over a hour. Think I need to go to a chiropractor? I've been considering it here the past week but should I go to one that has delt with sport injuries or go to the good ole "have you been in a vehicle accident" type? Geezzz I'm a crying baby!!!

this is what is aggravating i understand i cant go all out like i used too...perfect example of what i mean last night was legs after leg press went to hacks did 3 plates for 12 reps on 2nd set, 3rd set was going to do same very easy weight for me on third rep i felt the tear drop start to pull, i immediately racked and went to hammies...its sooooo aggravating, i used to do hacks with 7 plate, sad part is i know i still have it in me but i wont dare try, rant over
