Wrist Injury
I really appreciate everyones support that I’ve been getting. I didn’t know you guys cared so much, it almost brings a tear to my eye.
For those who don’t know, I injured my wrist working out Monday night. I’m hoping it’s just a sprain, I don’t think it’s a fracture or anything. The swelling has gone down, but the stiffness remains. I blame myself for the injury. I usually take 2-3 weeks off after 3-4 months of training. But since I lost so much mass during Army training, I felt I had a lot of ground to cover. I’ve been working out 11 months straight without a break! I lost myself in my own arrogance. Be careful guys, sometimes you can be too determined to do the right thing. So due to my wrist injury I’ll be taking a minimum of two weeks off of training, and I will be postponing my contest until 2011 when I come home from Iraq. It sucks, but sometimes these things happen and it’s best to just accept it and fight on. Thanks to everyone for your support. I’m going to go back to mass training and put some more size to these muscles. We all know my chest still has some growing to do. I wish everyone well in your training, and don’t forget to give your body some rest.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I hope it’s nothing too serious. Is it your dominant hand?
Get well soon.

Damn, that sucks! Sorry bro. I’ve been fighting tendonitis in my left elbow and wrist for about 3 weeks now. I’m stupid. I just put braces on em and keep pumping out heavy. Depending on the seriousness of it, you should still be able to do the push and pull training method. Just take a easy on the pushing. In other words, use less weight with this method, and do higher reps. Also, get that protein in so your wrist can heal faster. Good lock bro.
