Words I should of lived by today for sure. I went to gym started on my routine and some other guy was next to me and you know how it is once in awhile 2 dudes get around each other and the egos start overpowering everything else. He kept looking at me doing his thing raising and raising the amount of dumbells doing arnolds and inclined presses, so happens this is what I was working on today. Anyhow I had to be a "bad ass" so I kept upping my amount of weights too and then went off with 2 65 lbers (my highest w/dumbells for arnolds is 50, 55 if I am having a great day) I proceeded to start, got to my second one and BAM …!  I both felt and heard a pop right under my neck at the edge of my shoulder blade, dropped the weight and was and still am useless for atleast the rest of the day, workout wasted as I was only into my daily program for about 10 minutes.

Now this is something I did before when I first started 5 months ago and many noobs do, they come in first day and think they can rule the gym and usually get hurt quick.

So here I am with a glob of muscle cream on my back and now maybe not able to work out rest of the week, it is so bad that I cant even turn my neck either way without pain, not whining because I will get by but my point is by just being stupid and worrying about how bad ass I am I hurt myself and it could of been worst, imagine if it was at the bench without a spotter and I felt so confident to up my weight by say 100 lbs….bad situation that would of been for sure.

So the lesson is Worry about yourself and no one else in the gym because there will always be someone stronger and someone weaker, who really gives a crap, have fun, get fit, get ripped, get big but try by all means to avoid to get hurt.
