>tore my miniscus
>surgery
>will take 4-6 months apparently before I can even think about bending my knee with weights apparently

>>37943168
Not sure if this counts

>finish ohp PR
>notice small bulge above my groin
>turn to boyfriends
>ask for inspection
>one says it is probably a hernia
>go to doctor, and it is deffo an inguinal herna, but it directly poking out and not fucking with my testicles (thank god, appparently people have lost a nut to these things)
Just gotta push yourself harder.. R-right bro?
>be increasing squats like a champ
>slowly stop focusing on form and want more weight
>begin to bend knees in when squatting; knees over toes
>can't bend knees without hurting now, even without weight
>hurts going down the staires
I've got a knees state of an 80 year old
>Form slips on a single deadlift rep during a warmup set of 3 plate
>Back hurts for 2 months
I don't deadlift anymore.
>first time lifting in 2 weeks
>aiming for 120kgx5

>go to hospital
>strained Rhomboid
>aint done shit since, DOMS killing me
>>37943273

>>37943223
Fuck man, I'm afraid of this
Even pro bodybuilder and weightlifters slip up and require surgeries, and aren't 100% afterwards
I hope my knees don't end up like yours bro
I dislocated my shoulder overhead pressing just the bar once.
Deadlifts
enough said
>>37943305
Deathlifts
Not even once
Captcha: select all people who died doing deadlifts
>finish benching session
>get up and take a few steps
>suddenly right leg just randomly gives out
>incredible, nauseating pain in my lower back
>can barely stand up straight
>getting in and out of car is painful as fuck
>even running over a bump is enough to make me wince
>a few times I break into tears because I can't even get up out of bed and have to do this weird, sliding movement off the mattress
I managed to recover in just over a month, never saw a doctor because I couldn't afford it. Still don't know what the fuck happened, but I'm pretty sure it was due to shit form.
>>37943168

It healed up just fine, but I was out of commission there for a while. Probably should have gotten an x-ray, but fuck it.
>>37947246
Jesus Fucking Christ. What the hell happened?
>>37950262
>>37947246
Are you a 12 year old girl? I can't imagine any other way.
>be in shower
>start busting out mad calf raises with hot water
>cannot walk next day
HS friend who got me into lifting
>Attempted squat
>Failed squat, collapsed under weight
>Herniated disc and sciatic pain for months
>Talked about how awful it was to do mundane things like put on socks
>Continued lifting cautiously
>Eventually healed up, lifts went higher and higher
>Started roiding and competes in powerlifting now
As for me
>Deadlifting in HS
>Trying to figure out the difference between belt and beltless
>Belted submax pull, feel and hear three pops in my back, low back is sore and painful
Didn't affect me too much besides spooking me from DLing heavy for a while
>>37943168
Same thing happened to me too anon, ripped my bicep tendon. Shit sucks but atleast I can still do cardio. Just don't turn into a fat fuck, that shit happens to almost anyone who injures their leg.
>>37949170
What the fuck were you thinking anon?
>OHP
>sideways on to a mirror
>top of rep
>look right to see reflection
>sharp pain in left side of neck down shoulder into upper back
>drop weight
>fear I killed or paralysed myself
luckily I healed up with a few days but it was terrifying to say the least
HEAD FORWARD
EYES FORWARD
BACK STRAIGHT
>>37952794
never look in the mirror when doing something
>>37952800
This, it diminishes your concentration and gives you a greater risk of fucking up
>start ss as a skele
>2 weeks in and can squat lmao1pl8

>>I can do that
>hyperextend to the fucking shithouse

>get drunk with friends in my house
>''hey guys lets go and train''(I have home gym)
>decide to do deadlifts
>''fuck warmup I've been doing this for a year''
>put 3 plates and just start repping
>on 4th rep I hear a loud snap, instantly drop bar, back is fucking locked in a bent position
>turns out I partly tore Quadratus lumborum

>stabbing pain in muscle above left clavicle
Pls.
>>37953038
I fucking slipped disc hyperextending my back on OHP and I couldn't fucking make my back perpendicular to the ground without almost blacking out from the pain.
Do you feel like your spine is tight and needs to be stretched out? What was your treatment, familia?
>>37953150
sounds like weak abs mate
>>37953102
As long as someone learns from my mistake
>>37952794
had same thing when doing skullcrushers and tilted head sideways, holy shit that did hurt
>>37953166
How much do I need to squat and activate my abs until I'm safe
>>37953202
cant even understand your question
>stepping backwards to rack weight
Why would you ever do this
>>37947447
Not really no. They're an ego lift. You can safely get everything done without risking your spine. But nothing will feel quite as good as a deadlift
>>37943273
Same here i had no idea i can injure my rhomboids squatting
>>37943291
Pro bodybuilders and weightlifters intentionally push themselves beyond the safe limits of training. There are a lot of bodybuilders who advocate for safe training that are still big, strong and healthy in their 60s and maybe even 70s.
>>37953226
My role model and stepfather, Elliott "I Married For Personality" Hulse, remarks intelligently on his YouTube Channel "elliottsaidwhat" that if you "activate" (see: flex, extend forward fully) your abdominal muscles during a squat you can grow the muscle sufficiently. My aquantinces on bodybuilding.com/misc/ also agree that squat movements coupled with heavy weight are enough to stimulate the abs to become stronger. Are these fine people correct or have I been fooled?
What the fuck do I do to get stronger abs? I can already flex my stomach out 9 inches.
>>37953150
>people are still falling for the "ohp is the best" meme
Probably one of the most dangerous lifts and with no reason to do it.
just do ab exercises basically. Also dont neglect deep core muscles, like transversus abdominis which are most important for stability and lifts like squat and deadlifts.
Just google exercises and do them. Also ALWAYS tense your core when doing heavy compounds
>>37953287
Mark Rippetoe says it's required for GOMAD.

Aight, thanks for the hot tip. Time 4 fun http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/finder/lookup/filter/muscle/id/13/muscle/abdominals
>>37953303
No access to decent lighting atm. It just looks like a regular bear gut extended and goes in past the rib cage a good 1.5".
>>37953313
He lifts pretty strong for someone 60 y/o not on gear. And his book is technical as fuck.
>>37953150
Autist here. No treatment, I'm on a waiting list and I think I will be for eternity. I just put up with it for the most part, only gets bad when I sit or stand for too long. Mine gets aggravated by OHPs I've found, other lifts are fine. A little discomfort benching as I have to slightly hyperextend for proper form.
What's helped my OHP is making sure I cue tight glutes followed by abs, near impossible to hyperextend with them both engaged.
>>37953378
I'll have to try it out.
What kind of doc are you going to? I went to see a physio (got an appointment in a month) and he said if you're not getting nerve pain there's not too much they can do or will do.
