Is anyone else constantly injured

[Tweakle]

some of us are genetically predisposed to get hurt more than others, but it's usually age and bad form that do it

when I was a new lifter, I remember I would get hurt and badly with weights that I wouldn't bother warming up with now. My form is actually not that much better but I think the ligaments and tendons are stronger (in places) and of course AAS use helps a lot in recovery.

shit I remember getting hurt so badly I couldn't move out of bed for a couple of weeks with a 315 deadlift... and wrecking my shoulder with a 90lb OHP. Untrained bodies are fragile bodies.

the injury issue is at hand for all of us, no matter how carefull we train, ive warmed up for what seemes like forever , only to pull a trap muscle, sore delts,calf pulls,lat pulls. i now have a torn acl in my left knee(work injury) but the setback is monumental. like madcow, i am sick of being injured, but through it all, i will come out on top, even if its just in my own head.the sense of achievement i recieve after a lifting session is more important to me than words can say, i will not stop, even with my torn acl, no leg work of course.

Stop benching because of shoulder problem and then start doing an exersize that's even worse on shoulders???

Interesting that you call him a moron

I've lifted weights for 20 years or so and your a pussy with bad form. If you hurt yourself all the time your doing something wrong, maybe for a long time and you've worn out your body.

Moron, if your shoulders hurt, stop doing bench press. You ever hear of dips? Dumbbells? Worse thing you can do is start your chest routine with heavy bench presses. I'm sure that's what you do.

Ever think of trying to rehab your shoulders? I can tell you military press isn't going to help you. You need to lay off things that stress your shoulders.

I am having to revisit the whole form issue when I bench. I have taken a long layoff due to many issues most of which were beyond my control and I am back after say 1.5 years. Many all of my lifts have come back close to where they were 1.5 years ago just after 2 weeks. My bench is gone and benching light weights also causes my right shoulder some issues. But I've been working out atleast 2 hours a day 7x a week. So some of my issues may be overtraining.

So watch out for that as well

Im so friggin sick of being hurt and am wondering if anyone else constantly hurt. I havent benched heavy in 2 years due to injury. So i finally get back to heavy or kinda. I did 225x5 last week. I did it prett easily. Prob could have done it 3 or 4 more times. well what do you know. Both shoulders are aching me now. They feel like little twinges of pain that will heal in a week or 2 but its bullshit that im always plagued with this. Arent ligaments and tendons supposed to get stronger as you increase muscle size and get stronger? Does anyone else experience this?

I seem to be having constant back problems that won't go away. really sucks.

never had any problems with shoulders while doing bench or shoulder presses, I guess I'm lucky in that respect, although I don't throw around 300 lbs on bench either, I feel ya with being sick of working out with an injury though, I've been working legs with a fuc-ed up knee since last april, and everytime I would have another surgery, I'd have to start from scratch, I'm talking the bar with squats, sucks starting all over again, I'm just now getting some strength back in my left knee, squated a big 195 for 6 today!~!!, I know, its not much but 3 months ago I had to start over with the bar after my last surgery, again. And what really sucks is that I've got to start all over again after my next surgery in march ( this will be my last one hopefully)

I dislocated my shoulder once benching pretty early in my training (the last year two years of training I finally gave it up completely). If a movement hurts don't do it. I find dumbbells to be superior to the barbell bench press anyways.

The only other injury I have had was a torn bicep, which I got by being a complete dumbass and overtraining by using way too much volume and high intensity techniques. I was doing my 2nd arm workout of the day and was doing rest-pause reps with 185 lbs on a curl bar.

I feel your pain bro's. My shoulders used to hurt bad when I benched but only after racked the weight did it hurt. But for me when i learned not to flare my arms out it slowly went away. Now all I have to bitch about is forearm splints, a bad left wrist, and two f&*$ed up knees thanks to a few dirty haji's damn hand grenades in Iraq.
