Latisimus Dorsi tears??

Well Flex Test is right , you don't make it to top without going through some tough times. Every top pro has had at least a half dozen minor injuries if they are lucky.

And Test believe me Flex knows the difference between minor and major injuries , I can recall a couple of close calls right Flex?

As for the show , you know I'm going to be there , I have been to every Ottawa show since 1999 and 2002 is no exception. Without my friend being there I have only you to cheer for so it makes my life easier.

I was hopeing that I could talk to the promoter into getting me to give out the trophy to the winner since it could start a tradition or something.

Don't worry about the tear , just be careful and take the heavy training seriously because the last thing you want to do is ruin yourself for a future show. I found once I started to take stretching and warm ups as well as form more seriously the injuries started to go away.

You could also trying swimming, may help heal a bit faster. But yeah lay off it, cause if it get's worse it'll only take longer to heal. Thanks for the heads up RoNiN.

Yeah I think it's one of those injuries, that because it's in somewhat a secure place that i'll probably think it's better until I atually go to hit back or especially lat pulldowns or something that really stretches it. I'm supposed to be doing back on thursday but I don't think so. I can flex it still and hit a back or front lat spread with no pain but if I do a reaching kind of motion and flex it I can feel some pain around the whole area which is about the size of my hand.
Like I said i'm only really stressed about the show and making it there..I know this will heal up but will it in time? I guess we'll have to wait and see..
If I do make the show I have a feeling it's going to be sold out cause I have probably 100 people(no joke) here wanting and talking about coming to see me compete..so it'll be quite interesting to say the least.
Yeah that's a good idea about letting the previous years winner to present the overall trophy..makes complete sense to me. It's too bad these promoters don't put that much thought into it.
