Not another bloody problem..

I’ve only gone and torn a muscle in my back :(

I was doing some barbell shoulder presses "heavy" when I heard my back muscle rip - it sounded like cloth tearing. I was like oh f*****g hell!!!

I abandoned any overhead movements and heavy weight, but still did two biceps exercises at light weight and light weight side laterals. I’m so pissed, wanted to go running afterwards but I decided to call it a day. Man, my training was awesome this week, but hey PMA right! POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE.. Just means I have to calm things down for a couple of weeks, get some nutritious food, train other things that get neglected and thank my luck stars for being in good health and having my unbelievable family and friends.

toodles :)

    Well, that sucks! When you can hear a muscle tearing, yikes. That’s the sound of pain. But, you compromised- you abandoned heavy lifting and continued lifting light…..a little compulsive, are we?
    Not that I’d do it any different. Many times I’ve worked through pain. But, depending on how it goes, you might need to lay off completely for a few days and take some anti-inflammatories. I know that would mean even no light training, (as if that would happen!) Hope you can keep frustration at bay. That positive mental attitude is a good thing. Good luck!

    Wow, that sucks! I thought it was from deads or squats. Hmmm, i just went up on shoulder presses today. I need to watch it. I hope your recovery is fast, what are you doing for it?

    I was in the gym once and heard a guy tear his pec. I screamed for him cause it sounded like it hurt. Keep up the good work though.
