I think i pulled my hamstring.....

[princesa]

Today was leg day. I was mentally and physically prepared to have a kick ass work out. Started off with:
4x leg extensions
4x front squats
3x regular squats
I still had a lot of energy left so I decided to go heavy on deads, I did one set. I was gonna incorporate some walking lunges in between sets. Next thing you know I couldn't bring myself up . The pain was unbearable so I had to stop. This freakin sucks big time.

What should I do???

Pic shots will help allow us to ascertain the severity of the injury. Both legs for comparison purposes.

Better throw in a gluteus maximus shot as well in case the injury has actually occurred in said muscle group & not your legs.

 

[hardrock]

I've been told ice and heat off and on. I pulled my hammy and glute 3 weeks ago playing vball. Ham is now fine, but can barely sit on the glute. At this point I'm thinkin it might be a minor tear. No legs for me for a few weeks

Good luck with the recovery.

Rest and use a heating pad for now, if pain persists then go see a Dr.

This probably happend because your body is upset with you for drinking that "shake" yesterday.

Seriously though I hope you're ok.

I'm impressed by your leg work out, thats impressive, seeing as at my gym the squat rack is always open,
U deadlift, fuckin a, that is absolutely awesome, now I feel worse cause I haven't in years
as far as injury goes, this will suck cause, hams take forever to heal.
How long is your cycle? Don't worry about insomnia that will go away in two weeks... lol

Well everything looks fit & healthy D)

+1 with Chocolate_Thunder, rest & heat, if it persists see the GP. I'm a big fan of liberally applied Ibuprofen gel as well to muscle strains to help take the edge off the pain.

a few weeks? i really hope it doesn't take that long to heal

that means no biking, cardio or lower body

I was doing so well, it sucks

LoL
nice one, No I do workout, just don't deadlift, cause I'm a panzy
I know u don't take anything, I was just being dumb...
great workout, though, kills my legs I only do squats and thats it.
None of my business, but did U ever date that guy from the gym, my take was initially yes, but after u said he dogged on his ex, it went to no, any type of dissing or belittling an ex to someone you aren't even with is just not a good sign... but thats my feeble take, I probably was way wrong, I hope whatever decision u made, it worked out for your benefit.

Is a penis useful?

i have strong hands (i can close the 300's) and i give an excellent massage. . .

U may be able to cardio in 10 to 12 days, like elliptical, but it will take atleast 3-5 weeks before u even think bout deadlifting, and that is pretty premature, I pulled a ham 3 years ago just playing some intramural flag football, and yeah it took a while before it got back to normal...

How did that happen???


-Ariel-...3-5 weeks?? Im devastated

Yoga would be perfect...
especially ideal to combat sort of a possible down feeling that may occur from lack of cardio and working out... due to lack of daily endorphin rush...
no expert, but that seems perfect.

Let it heal! Trust me its the kinda of thing that can stick with you a long, long time if you don't leave it alone and let it heal. I had a pulled hamstring for a whole damn year one time, don't be a hard ass, give it time. Start back slow and easy with it and progress from their, but only when the pain is totally gone.

 

[digimon7068]

How did that happen???

i was complimenting your lower extremities with a veiled reference to a portion of my lower extremities. . .it's juvenile a form of humor that's common among adult males of our species. . .sheesh. . .that was entirely too much work. . .

I think you should be able to bike as long as you do more pushing and no pulling - on that leg anyway.

Running is out for sure until you get healed. The more you push it, the longer it will take. Be patient.

BTW - killer legs. Holy hawtness batman.

Very sexy.....
I pulled my quad in football. More annoying than anything because you restricted to how you can use it fro quite awhile.
You may even feel okay to jog, like I did but when I tried to sprint I hurt it again and was all the way back to square one.
Very very frustrating injury for sure.

ouch that's gotta be painful

 

[lartinos]

Hurt my pysche more than anything. To feel like you're better just to be back at square one and standing on the sideline really sucks. My trainer had me feel around in my quad for bumps in the muscle which he said were something like dry blood built up. I would ice down my quad as cold as I could and then I'd give myself a very deep massage to break up the bumps. It was painful but it seemed to help somewhat. Your leg days are pretty intense!

 

[AztecWarrior]

Better that then a back injury. Try having a wrist, back, and ankel problem all at the same time. Sissy girl!!! WORK THROUGH IT!!!! Just kidding. Get better soon. LOL!

I was trying to give myself a little massage earlier at my desk and i noticed my co-workers were looking over. Im sure they were probably like wtf is wrong with this girl lol. I wasn't enjoying it or anything, It was painful... Im gonna ice it later on. I love leg days, my favorite body part to train. I get a rush, like a runners high sort of.

From training. One is recent and the others I live with everyday. As for me bringing it, I'll have to pass. I'm scared of you. Can I just get a hug instead or karma? :C Haha.

Yeah.... massage after you ice and try and stretch a little when you're in the shower or right after when your hammy is nice warm. Don't overdue the stretching or continue if it hurts though. You might have to wait a few days.
