What was your gym-jury this week?

[noelcraddock]

@matt007 Don’t forget to try yoga to fix it.

@noelcraddock i can't injure myself in the gym because i'm a month out of having surgery on my shoulder to repair an injury

 

[brianehall]

@noelcraddock Fucked my back a little on trap bar deadlifts.

 

[grayed]

@noelcraddock Aggravated an old back injury....bent over row!
Any exercise in that position just flairs up my back, should have known better.

@noelcraddock Had a 45 lb rubber plate skim my shin as it fell over/onto the ground

 

[kutesagfire23]

@frenchfrye Better than iron, but damn that sounds painful.

@noelcraddock Very silly little injury. Cut my toenail too short and wore a pair of sneakers that apparently don't fit as well as I thought. Realized after the treadmill I had a bloody blister covering the entire tip of my second toe going under the toenail. Gross.

@karenwnc Significant gym-jury, The equivalent of Death by 10000 Papercuts.

@noelcraddock Fortunately I didn't get injured but I had to run 1.6 miles from the tire shop back to work on my lunch break.

 

[noelcraddock]

@sarina That’s the definition of work/ life balance. R u ok?

 

[sarina]

@noelcraddock I am thank you. I ran when the sidewalk was clear and walked/trotted when the way wasn't shoveled. I am runner so it wasn't so bad. Though i wished I had clean shirt for rest of my shift...lol

@noelcraddock I did a shit ton of muscle ups this week, probably about 60-70 total. This made me very happy. My shoulder hurts now.

@noelcraddock Ended up having 6 weeks off due to circumstances at the end of the year. Went all upper body and desperate to get some mass back so overdid it. Oops!

 

[noelcraddock]

@kylels Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the rest of this year turns out a little better for you. Who can fault a person for wanting to get back into it with a massive upper body set for some pump!?

 

[kylels]

@noelcraddock Bless you, that’s really kind of you to reply. It’ll get better for sure, something always humbles you eventually. Really appreciate it

@noelcraddock Pressing often bothers my shoulders. I’ve been trying to move my hands out slowly on the bar, went from ring fingers to middle fingers on the rings. But I gave up on it this week and went back to ring fingers. That tiny adjustment makes a big difference.

@noelcraddock Nothing like catching a power clean in the Adam’s Apple to start your day off right

 

[noelcraddock]

@dawn16 Honestly, if you aren’t catching the bar with your trachea before having it crash land on your clavicle are you even doing power cleans?

@noelcraddock Last week while I was doing dumbbell shoulder presses I lost stability with my left shoulder and wrenched things a bit keeping the weight from going backwards. This week I was doing heavier barbell OHP and had the same kind of instability on the last rep of a triple. Shoulder is now very grumpy, though I’m glad that it appears to be the muscle rather than the joint that’s damaged, which should be a bit easier to heal. Just going to have to dial back all of my pressing for a while.
