True, but there is more to it than that. You're only addressing one cause of injury here, and that's hypoxia (reduced oxygen flow to cells). Also, simply working the muscle does not ensure that the needed area will be supplied with oxygen. Hypoxia is also a cause of scar tissue build-up; which, even if you solve the hypoxia, the scar tissue remains. Micro-trauma (probably the most common situation) and acute injuries (pulls, tears, etc.) also result in the formation of scar tissue. Scar tissue impedes and binds tissues that are meant to move freely. As this increases, you can have trapped nerves, tendonitis, loss in strength etc. Trapped nerves themselves result in a host of other effects, numbness or tingling, weakness, burning, poor circulation and even muscle atrophy. Here is a diagram outlining this process:

Debaser,
I don't think you understand the extent of my injuries. They are nothing serious, but instead a nuissance. Every day I feel better and I am getting closer to 100 percent.
Besides that flow chart you posted. . I am not experiencing 80 percent of those symptoms.

debaser just to point out something..... in the genetic limit thread you were speaking about and no one would debate you and just call you names. i had to post 4 times to get you to answer my question, and then you made fun of me before you answered my question, so dont act like you werent guilty on being just as un reasonable in that argument
louden............ im actually kinda with debaser on this one. when injured i dont neccesarily think just changing the sets and reps is going to make it easier on your body.
this is just my thinking. your body is very smart. but its not like you have a patella strain ( i think that is one of them) and your doing heavy lower rep squats - so you petella tendon says:"oh im hurting i cant take this squatting." then you switch to higher reps, but your still going heavy for those higher reps, your body is just not going to say, " oh, its he's still squating, but now he's bodybuilding and not powerlifting, this doesnt hurt at all"
you knee will still be saying " oh im hurting i cant take this squatting."
thats just my opinion, i believe your trying to take it lighter, and bodybuilding is lighter in terms of poundage to powerlifting, is a good thing. im just saying, you may need to not even do that for a while......... train what doesnt hurt for a month. you wont loose size.

My hip injury was just a nuisance, nothing serious either. Until one day (a few weeks ago) I couldn't squat whatsoever without debilitating pain. After TWO sessions with an ART specialist, I can now squat without pain.
Injuries generally get worse before they get better if you do not seek treatment. Scar tissue does not go away unless you go under procedures to break it up.
What do you mean you are not experiencing any of the symptoms? Just a week ago you listed the following:
strained/mild sprain in lower back. . its hard to walk
-sore left patella tendon.
-sore and popping hips
-tendonitis in both elbows
-slight pain in right rear delt.
-right knee popping
-When I drive down to Norman, I literally have to roll out of my truck just to get out.
-However, I have been suffering from mild cramping in the upper pectorals.
Those are all things that ART commonly addresses. Those are not conditions that disappear just because you decide to train light a week later. Come on man, "its hard to walk"? I would have seen someone without even thinking about it. Correct injuries while they're minor, not when they're excrutiating.

3. Flat DB Flyes - 2 x 10
DELTS
1. Standing Overhead Dumbbell Presses - 3 x 10
2. Up Right Rows - 3 x 10
3. Dumbbell Laterals - 2 x 10
TRICEPS
1. Lying French Presses - 3 x 10
2. Cable Press-Downs - 3 x 10
Overall, I am ready to go. . .no pain in these area. Estimated workout 50 minutes.
I expect a good sweat and good blood flow.

Keep plugging away. Most importantly, find what works for you and keeps you in the "game".
