Big D’s BodyBlog

I’ve just recently come back to hitting the weights after about 3 months off due to a bruised wrist tendon (o.k., hold the jokes), which is actually my first bodybuilding-related injury.  When it happened I tried to work through it, thinking it may just work itself out—which I now know is a very stupid way to go about it.  Had I known better, like those that have suffered any kind of weight training injuries do, it only gets worse.  After a few months off (doctor’s orders) I’m back in full swing.  Oddly enough, starting back hasn’t been all that difficult. And, I’m now back to about 95% strength after only one week.  Going forward, I’ll be wearing the lifting gloves with the wrist supports and blah blah blah blah.

So what about any of you? Ever had a workout-related injury? How long were you out? How much did it affect your workouts when you came back?
