[stilllmatic]

whats stopping you from doing cardio? I sprained my ankle in January and was still on the fukn bike and elliptical within a week or two.

[CyberSheriff]

Don't rush it or you're gonna tear something again. Also it comes back quick, like noob gains all over again.

[nothingshocking]

[jackovbrah]

anyone any ideas if its possible to shred 20lbs in like 2 months? dont know my bf but 20lbs ago i had abs

Adjust your calorie intake

Injury sucks but you only got fatter cos you kept eating the same. Now you need to cut and move more, doesn't have to be lifting and with torn tendons I'd be very surprised if you were healed to lift again

injured your tendons, what does that even mean? Explain further so we can decide if you are actually injured or there are ways to rehab it on your own.

How did you cause it, what makes it hurt, does it hurt all the time...answer things like that.

golfers elbow i was diagnosed with in both arms

[BeerCalories]

Hey man I'm in a similar boat. I was in a good shape, lived on my own, hanging out with girls, etc.

Then I quit my job, and moved back home until I finish school. Started hiding vodka under my bed so my parents don't know how much I drink. Gained a lot of weight. Stopped going out and trying to **** girls. Got crazy depressed. I just started getting back into the game. I recommend EC stack man. Every time I decide to cut back on drinking and lose weight ec stack has helped me accomplish those goals. Whether or not you lose that progress comes down to your determination and mind state. But don't focus on that right now. Just start making progress.

thats the same thing as tennis elbow essentially. You need to get in the gym and do exercises that increase blood flow, body temp, and not let your body atrophy. I use to get it all the time, the first couple years of training, on 15 years currently. I also exasperate it because I played tennis about 5-6 times a week. Played from 4-18 years old.

In otherwords, the fact that you're doing nothing isnt helping.

[DeadlyStriker]

Apply your "discipline" you had before with training.....to your dieting.

That's it. Really.

sorry for previous ****ty responses, was on my phone.


In December I injured my tendons trying to do a 1rm on bench. 250 or something, I was solo and had a ****ty setup, basically over-extended my arms to unrack and completely ruined my arms. I thought I pulled something so took about 2-3 weeks off in December. When I went back to the gym the pain was severely aggrevated via low bar squats from then on. I thought it was wrist pain from there forward and invested in some inzer wraps. Furthermore, in February after about 1 month of wraps and working through the injury I called it quits due to the pain and the fact that I was unable to fix it.

I am now sure that I injured my elbow on the max bench I did and never let it heal so then when pressure was applied to the elbow (i.e low bar squat) it aggravated it.

My doctor diagnosed it with golfers elbow (forget the medical name ting for it).

I've watched a few of Alan Thrall's latest vids where he mentioned about severe elbow pain in the low bar position and suggested to not use a thumbless grip and vary width in squats. Which I will try...... when I return. But for now i'm taking it easy.

If you have bilateral tendonitis you can't just go straight back to lifting.... you can damage yourself working through those pain signals. I had bilateral tendonitis which took months of adaptive exercises, physio and a million leg days to resolve to the point where I could return to bench and pull exercises.

Did you see a physio?

You can do this srs.

I used to be obese, lost tons of weight like 150 pounds, then go into powerlifting, life was too good to be true then got injuried, stopped lifting, and gained like 10 kilos in the process.

Now I lost all of them, and on the right track.

You can do this srs.

So you basically tommy johned your arm benching. Idk how that's even possible but if there was no bruising after then it's not a tear and not that srs.

This sounds like a problem with your bench form tbh.

You fat kunt, go to the gym and lift. I tore a ligament in my wrist and ****ed up my shoulder, but I still go to the gym. Just do different muscle groups and start squats if you haven't already. You can still work other muscle groups and still achieve greatness. If you too fat and have poor balance, try and have your back face the wall and do body squats until you get stronger.

[kimm4]

I would stick with the compound lifts and pull out all isolation work.

Feel better.

are you sure it's not that srs brah? because i had some bad aches that lasted about 4 days after my last gym sesh about 2 months ago. <--- this was months after the initial injury (altho i trained through it)

Anyway im gonna hit chest on wednesday ( the day i said id go back from when i quit) and see how it goes. i guess if it hurts ill just take more time off.

and yah, my form was bad when it happened , since then been fixed.

To all those talking about a physio, i'm on the NHS waiting list... something like 4th August is the time i can see one
