HIT or Miss: The Chronicle of Rock

[Rocco32]

Awww Rock, that's a tuff break man. Take care of yourself, not like you have a choice now. Looking back, do you know what you did wrong? I pulled my back slightly doing SLDLs. I was looking at the plates in the mirror and not focusing on keeping my back tight and then......sproing! Nothing too bad, a couple of days and I was fine.

Good luck buddy.

Thanks Wolf. I have scoliosis so if my form isn't perfect on things like Bent BB Rows, I get screwed. Well, I think I jerked or rocked a bit on one rep and that was enough to do it. I'm going to try to get back in as soon as possible

Aw damn Rock. Several years ago, I did something similar doing deadlifts for the 3rd or 4th time. That's why I was so apprehensive about doing them now. Rest that back, and DON'T DO CARDIO either! But we know how good I take advice .

Rest up man. You're young. You can afford to take time off. I keep thinking if I take a few months off, I may never come back fully. You can.

SHEET ! I swear Rock... welll you know what I was going to say. I would definetly be replacing some of the exercises you do ( like all the ones that you have injured yourself on . LOL )

Take it easy and then work back into it slowly .

 

[JerseyDevil]

If I stopped doing all the exercises I've been injured on.... I may as well stay on the porch in my rocking chair .

I think Deads are gone for awhile if not for good. I just need to move to safer exercises, LOL. But what do I do in place of squats for awhile?

Didn't do cardio today, still hurts too bad but when I can I'll do low intensity on the elliptical trainer. Thanks for the post JD

Haha, I knew you'd have something to say about this LOL. If I replace ALL the exercises I hurt myself on then there would be no exercises to do

Just saw that.

Thanks Babe, I hope so too.

 

[Rocco32]

Shitty News Rock.

Thanks Iain. It'll give my elbow time to heal up though LOL.

 

[Rocco32]

Damn Dave.....!! Take a rest!! Or else

Thanks mate! Gotta come over here to punch me though

 

[Rocco32]

Hardly slept at all last night. Couldn't turn or move, felt like my back would snap in two. Feeling a bit better today being up for awhile, but I'm tired as hell.

There ya go , a silver lining

Good morning Rocky Baby

Hey Rocky, what's doing...

So I am back around again...
Looking forward to lifting again after therapy ends in another 4 weeks. However, this time I'll be extra careful, unlike my old self, The Crazy Lifter of Weights......
Hey man, I hope you have a great day and I'll see ya' around.....

 

[bludevil]

But what do I do in place of squats for awhile?

Hack Squats, Box Squats, Legg Press, Lunges, Farmers Walk. Plenty of exercises besides the normal squat, but it sounds like you definately don't need to go heavy on any leg or back exercises. Maybe for the next few weeks or months, light weight more reps until your fully healed. Good luck in the comp

That's me, always positive

Good morning Rocky Baby

Morning there hottie. Love the new avi, very sexy!

What's up Tony. Glad your back, look forward to seeing your progress again. You'll do great!

Thanks Bludevil. Maybe I can do Hack in place of Squats. I don't think I want to go to failure on some of those others, LOL.

 

[Rocco32]

Alright, got outta bed this morning and my back was still killing me. But I wanted to go to the gym and do cardio, so I went. Did 1 hour on the elliptical. Back actually felt better afterwards. Still hurts but I had better mobility. I may pay for it tomorrow though, LOL. Also tried ROM on a few HS machines to see if it would be an acceptable substitute for bench and all. I'm optimistic

Until you get thru the acute pain, I wouldn't work lower body at all. Hack squats, leg presses, lunges, etc are still going to stress that area too much. All of us seem to be better at giving injury advice, then taking it .

Hey Rock

How's everything ?

 

[Velvet]

Morning there hottie. Love the new avi, very sexy!

Thanks

How was the weekend? Stay outta trouble?
