The mind-games are coming on strong with this ol' bull 
During my Wed., 08/31/05 workout - when I was doing a pullup, I could feel that I tore my lat. I stupidly, finished (partially) my workout but with extremely light weights. The next day it actually felt much better but I'd figure a couple of day rest was in order. Friday it felt better yet (things are looking GOOD) then when I was putting deoderant on under my left arm, I had a BLACK 12" long by 5" wide bruise running from tricep down my back along the edge of my armpit.
By Sunday 09/04/05, I felt good enough to do a workout - no problems. On Monday, 09/05/05, when I was doin a slow contraction with heavy weight on barbell curl, I pulled a forearm muscle - BAD. It hurt so bad it was difficult to pick up anything of much weight. On this day prior to this happening, I did bench press and backed off to 295lbs cause of my sore lat. To my surprise, I got 8 reps without too much problem!
I kept working out around my various weaknesses. I had to drastically reduce amount of weigh for back AND use straps for every/anything. And I COULD NOT do ANY type of curl cause of forearm pain.
Now it gets even better On Sun, 09/11/05, I was working on my truck - installing a Flowmaster and K&N Filter system. I was trying to loosen a bolt in the engine compartment that WOULD NOT break loose - this is another story that I won't tell as I'll really embarrass myself I was using the bos-end of a combination wrench with another comb wrench locked together to get more leverage. I was really pulling on this with ALL my strength and the wrenched popped off and my right hand slammed against the engine compartment. It samcked the compartment so hard it broke open the skin. I know I didn't "cut it" on anything because the cut is VERY jagged.
I went into the house cleaned it up and bandaged it, then finished my project. When I finished, I went into the house to clean up and change dressings. I tlooked worse this go around and I was afraid of infection due to all the dirt.
Si, I went to the emergency room and to make a long story short, they numbed me up and put in 6 stitches. I still get a kick when the nurse goes to take my BP as she's wrapping on the arm band: "Oh my, a weightlifter."
Stiches come out next Tue, 09/20/05 ::ction-sm I gonna not workout 'til then so I don't get any complications like having it break open. It's still bleeding today
