What's currently holding you back from your lifting goals, anons? Been running a lot due to quarantine so I'm recovering from shin splints right now. Anyone have advice from getting over them?

gave myself this shit from overworking my feet. can't walk on hard surfaces without shoes and it's holding back all my sets that have to do with feet.

Two years and counting with picrelated. Don't do squats
Sebastian Rodriguez
Left bicep, tendonitis on both ends. Quarantine came pretty handy since I've rested for 2 months now and I can still feel it slightly
Hudson Cox
my thing was also from squats lmao
Elijah Hill
Bad form, or too much weight?
Henry Morris
both. probably if I had perfect form I would have been fine.
squats are totally safe, you just need to have good form*
*but also if you make even the slightest form error you will damage your body

General question, what injuries are you at risk of suffering if you fuck up a bench press with massive weight? Can you actually kill yourself if the bar lands on your chest and breaks ribs?

I fucked up my spine in a way that my balls were hurting for a week :)

I smashed my growth plate in my right arm when I was younger due to too many breaks. My dominant arm didn’t grow too full size is shorter than my other and does not have full range of motion. I will never be able to reach my full potential. It fucking sucks.
Blake Gonzalez
I got an inflamation on both of my knees and gonna have to stop working out untill it heals
Ryan Gutierrez

Logan King
where did you break it? post arms
Adam Phillips
Strained ligament from bjj but hopefully rehab during lockdown will clear it up
Robert Bailey
Tweaked my shoulder benching, healed in a few days, went benching again and tweaked it but powered through. 4 weeks later still can't bench and OHP. It's legit fucking making me depressed. Feels like it'll never go away and can't see physio cause corona.
Zachary James
What weight were you doing? Kind of amazes/annoys me how people like you and me get injured and then people like Clarence Kennedy are squatting 280KG and still going fine.
Easton Garcia
Probably yes, in extreme cases though very unlikely. A likely one is shoulder injury like me -> . Thing is I didn't even fuck up bad. It was just from unracking the bar at the start when it was a bit behind me and I could still power through. Fucking sucks though. Out so long over a tiny mistake.

uncontrollable nerve pain in my entire body forever

Lincoln Fisher
Dislocated my right elbow doing low bar squats. Been a year and two months but started doing recovery workouts, with low weights, about 2 months ago.

Rest is important, but also strengthening exercises for the tibial is anterior, and a pair of running shoes that suits your feet/style. Can't vouch for compression socks but see plenty wearing them, and if at all possible move to running on grass.
Currently just getting over sciatica caused by fuck knows what (3rd time, but longest suffering so far). Almost 3 weeks out from injury, and looking at getting some better chairs and stuff for working, protect your back bros.
Jonathan Ross
Tendinitis perhaps?
Gabriel Ward
my right shoulder is fucky. it hurts when doing ohp and letting go of the bar when i finish squatting. gonna do some rotator cuff workouts and hopefully that solves the issue
Lincoln Myers
left ankle fucked up from spraining it a lot playing basketball in my youth so i cant run too much
other than running it doesnt bother me too much

Slammed 3 of my fingers in my wife's car while I was yelling at her. I slapped the fuck out of her with my non-injured hand right afterwards kek. Fucking bitch, Had she not been arguing with me I wouldn't have been distracted and closed the door on my fingers. She cried for like 3hrs in our room that night.
Bentley Nguyen
I think i caught lats tendonitis around my armpit insertions.
I can't do any pull ups or front lever without pain, it's fucking annoying
Jayden Collins
If feel people who manage to snap themselves benching have their scapulas all over the place when unracking because the bar is too high so they can't put their shoulders down and back
Jonathan Morales
