A figure competitor’s path

I’m frustrated and angry and annoyed right now. And it may seem like a simple little thing to anyone who truly doesn’t understand, but it’s no small thing for me. As I wrote in a previous blog, I hurt my bicep probably going on 2 years ago while I was doing a pull-up. Well I just recently began doing pull-ups again. Just yesterday Terry actually integrated them into my workout as a part of my back exercises.

He holds me – it’s not like I am lifting my entire weight. Well – today, it’s sore again. And I know I have to tell him and I know that means that I won’t be able to do any more pull-ups, but why? This sucks. It’s been 2 freaking years and again I have to stop doing what I want to do because of it. Then part of me struggles to say that maybe I shouldn’t tell Terry and let it rest and keep doing them, but that’s just going to do me more harm than good.

All the other girls I train with slam out these pull-ups like they’re nothing and I can’t even do 15 measly ones without getting too sore. IT’S BEEN 2 YEARS! GIVE ME A BREAK HERE!

I just wonder why this thing continues to hurt and what it’s going to take ultimately to heal it. And while I know that’s it’s just a set of pull-ups that I can’t do, it’s a blow to my abilities. Injury or not, I still want to be able to do them.
