Forum: Injury Recovery And Prevention

Not entirely sure where to post this. I suppose my fear is injury. Injury prevention! Along with my other goals, flexibility is one. So I complete my workout, and then I go to stretch afterwards. I stretch the warmed up areas, and I don't feel discomfort, until I get around to stretching my...

Hello. So I got this elbow pain for some long time, couple of years maybe, more or less. When i flex my arm at 90 degree, or like trying to pickup something by bending arm like bicep curls, i get sharp pain in elbow. It feels like its in my joint, in the middle of elbow. I got no pain when doing...

Hi all I posted this in fat loss too but I was thinking I might get some insight on this part of the forum. FYI I have had psysio but it doesn't seem to do a lot. "Hey Everyone, I need some advice. I used to play Rugby for the Quins development squad until 18 months ago I took a seriously...

I've been squatting for about nearly 7 months now...I was progressing well, went from 95lbs (I know, but I was a beginner) to squatting a best of 275lbs. My last 3 workouts for legs have been absolutely awful. I have not changed anything in my routine or form. So I normally will squat 225 and...

Hi Guys, First post on the forum here, always found pretty much everything I need to know with a quick search so... However, this time my issue is rather unique so I've decided to go for it. So here goes a little background story : - Back in January, I was involved in a huge motorcycle...

I can't do dumbbell curls, hammer dumbbell curls, reverse curls without pain. On my pull days I use a reverse or hammer grip on most of my back exercises so I can also hit the biceps and brachioradialis muscles. But are there any "safe" bicep isolation movements that I can do that won't cause me...

Hey everyone. I am going for a PT test for part of a job application. I have been getting in shape and doing everything that would improve my chances of passing. I have been running the Fierce 5 program and have noticed that as of lately im just tired and drained. My last gym day was Saturday...

Hey guys. Last month or so, I was having some pain and weakness in my right shoulder that would only show itself with pressing movements (flat dumbbell presses mostly) but it wouldn't hurt really outside of that. Two Fridays ago I worked shoulders, shoulder felt a little funky but no pain really. ...

I have some back discomfort after a bad work out session where I was out of form. There isn't pain but more of a discomfort although maybe some would call it pain. I'm pretty sure I just stretch like the one sticky says. Any help appreciated. Edit: It's just sore after bad form on a machine. Any...

Hi so this back pain has been going on for months now and it got better before but as soon as i start training even light, it comes instantly back. Ive been to the chiropractor and he said i had tight lower back and upper back muscles but could be a disc problem. Sometimes I cant even get my...

I've been going to the gym for the past 2 years and only recently started deadlifting. Today, after my warmup set and another set using the same weight as usual, I put on an extra 25lbs, going for less reps. The first 2 reps went smoothly but while attempting the third, I felt a sudden sharp pain...

As my tennis elbow slowly improves and I start bicep curls again, would it be beneficial to invest in a barbell with some light weights? I've always used dumbbells but I think I read where the barbell curl is easier on the elbow because the weight is spread out somewhat. I usually do 15 lb...

Hey guys, new to the forum. I've scanned through and read a few threads about lower back pain but not many relate to mine. About 2 years ago i buldged my l5, unaware of how i actually did it. I've went to doctors, chiro's, physio and specialists, none who have removed the pain completely....
