Preset Number or Failure?

[Priv]

I'm pretty sure training through is not the right thing to do. Mine came out before I started lifting so being careful and allowing it to heal wasn't a big sacrifice. It was in the forearm so I could do a lot of stretches that definitely helped.

 

One thing I disagree with on t-nation is their dismissal of stretching. It has done wonders for me and has definitely kept my tendons in better shape, as you get older, they get shorter. I'll never be convinced that stretching does nothing for you.

 

Haha, I am sure of that too . How long did it take you to completely go away? It is in my left shoulder/biceps. If I left it totally alone I would not be doing any upper body exercise. It is definitely better than it used to be last year when I felt it not lifting as well.

 

 

True, though they (Wendler mostly) keep talking about foam rollers. I should stretch more. There is a definite lack of knowledge on my part about that part of training. Diet as well really. I have a lot of growing to do in my lifting career!

In my experience, foam rollers are awesome. A foam roller -- along with a racquetball -- got me back to running after a bout with knee-pain.

It took about 2 months for it go away properly.

Foam rollers are awesome but injury prevention is also about strength training. these guys are pretty smart, I do their exercises and stretches on my level. Lots of helpful advice from people with functional strength. check out the ones on shoulder strength.

Wow. Squatting is no joke. My legs are rather sore and I haven't even added the bar yet! Just air/goblet squats. That, and lots of planks. Lots and lots of planks.

Feels good doesn't it . It's going to be easier in a couple of workouts. It will be replaced by a general muscle tiredness as you need to recover from heavy weights. Though it will take a while to get there, kinda hard to explain. But that is different from soreness and not really intrusive.

It feels good, and I can still walk, which is nice. A few years ago I ran into a guy who was an avid lifter. He put me through a leg workout that included squats. It was a good week before I could walk somewhat normally.

 

 

I guess it just goes to show how weak my legs (most people's legs?) are. I mean, I could bang out three sets of pushups to failure and not really feel it too much the next day. But these things?

 

 

Moreover, I very rarely sweat from lifting, but these things had me gushing buckets.
