That's what I was thinking. Wasn't to do with my form, was more like me being arrogant and trying to hard.
been in this game a long time bro. been lifting for 20 years now.. i know exactly what i'm talking about.. there is no difference in my eyes between using bad form and 'being arrogrant and trying too hard'
its the same thing.
its NOT normal to blow out a ligament lifting weights.. even when i was a powerlifter at competitions i saw hundreds and hundreds of competitors, and now as a judge i have seen maybe thousands, including at state .. and i have yet to see anyone get hurt even though they are doing 1 rep maxes 6X total... i don't care who tells you otherwise on here. weightlifting is the SAFEST sport out there, even more safe than soccer..
the best way to prevent an injury is to not get it in the first place. hopefully you learned from this mistake. we tell guys on here to lay off steroids cause they are not ready for a reason, now you just set yourself back months and months because you were seeking a short cut
this is NOT what you want to hear but its the truth, i'm sure the guy who posted above who disagreed with me you would rather listen to and thats fine, but he is the dude at the gym who tells you to keep lifting even when you are hurt. those types of people don't give a rats ass about your health
frankly I wish you had 'tried too hard' for years before touching gear and built up your conditioning properly. at your height getting to 215 naturally should have been your goal first, and then you could of jumped on the juice from there and did things the right way. but you wanted a short cut, maybe this is a blessing though and you can start over and do things the right way
