Do you have any injuries right now and if so how are you training around them?

I have way too many injuries, get me started and I could moan about them all day (and sometimes I do). Thank god for the safety squat for letting me continue to hammer my legs

Strained my right shoulder doing heavy reps on the flat bench about two months ago. Had to lay off for a while and focus on cardio, lower body work and abs. Picked it back up slowly last month with pushups only, then light bench.

I'm almost back to normal now, and back on track with my strength goals.

Man, I should have bought one of those bars before I moved. Or one of those bars that goes across your back, then drops about 14" straight down, then goes out to where you load the plates. Would be a life saver right now...or at least a back/leg saver.

For now it is high rep laterals, deads, and front squats.

It's not an injury that I'm training around, but it is the result of a past injury. The two surgeries on my left shoulder reduced the range of motion, I can't get my left arm/hand in position to do db / bb presses for shoulder work. Now I have to resort to plate loaded hammer strength and nautilus equipment for behind the neck presses, and overhead presses. I am able to use the handles for leverage to force my hand back far enough to work my shoulders. It might not be perfect, but it does work.

Still don't have feeling in parts of my arm and LOTS of bad feeling in other parts. Doc is very concerned that I can't curl my arm past about 45 degrees without extreme pain. Could be something torn...

So ... you didnt get surgery ? only stitching with local anaesthesia ? Did you get an MRI ? - You did remove the glass yourself, so the doc cant tell exactly how deep it went and what exactly is damaged without either doing real surgery and looking by himself or making some pictures like in MRI. If that range of motion doesnt improve soon you should get one.

By the way hitting the radial nerve while doing local anaesthesia is a nono. That shouldnt happen. Those needles for locals have a cutting point and can destroy parts of the nerve. Especially when injecting in it.

Get better soon !

ROM is improving and swelling going down with more antibiotics.

Local anaestesia was done with an insulin needle.

good to hear that it is getting better

eat those antibiotics up, you really dont want a real infection there. those are really nasty.

all the luck !

(sidenote: there are special needles that dont cut, but there are normally not used for local anaesthesia. the damn surgeon has to know where the nerves are, thats his job. on the other hand, an insulin needle is so thin that it doesnt do much damage. injecting in the nerve is bad, nevertheless.)
