I dislocated the thumb in my right hand a few years ago when I was trying to open a car door that I thought was stuck. Turns out it was locked.

Really set me back for ground work as it was one month before nationals (olympic lifting).

My only gym injury has been doing the seated row. I lost an almost imperceptible amount of form at extension, felt an almost imperceptible click in my lower spine and kept on training. Big fail.

Was about 10 years ago and still have to be careful to stay mobile as extended periods of standing, sitting or laying around cause it to seize. Doesn't impact my training though . Ice massage has been a godsend.

Cycling is another story:

- Face-planted the back of a car when my front wheel got stuck in a piece of missing road and launched me into the air on the way out. Good thing the car was a bubbleback Ford Laser, but the woman driving must've thought she had a big Garfield stuffed toy spread across the back of her car. I emerged remarkably unscathed apart from impact soreness.

- Countless falls and scars on the track from fast formation work on road bikes and panic merchants using their brakes .

- Hit by a car while on Geelong Road riding to a race. Not sure how I got out of that one as the driver later said he was going to leave me on the road while I was unconscious, however, he said a pang of guilt crept in and he parked behind me to protect me from being cleaned up. Twisted a lot of body parts but nothing broken.

Was just about to post up that I had hurt my wrist doing bench press wrong. Stupid really just doing far to much weight. Did a light session today in the gym but couldn't lift much at all due to my wrist. Has anyone got any advice as to what I can do or not do to help fix it up? Should I do some light weight isolating them trying to build them up or stay away from the gym for a while? Thanks in advance for any help guys. Cheers

Advice from little old me?

LOL

1)
When you are at your all time best you always feel superhuman. You always need a little more.
My injuries are usually from letting my rep ranges go lower and lower chasing weight. It happens when you begin to level off. No gain. So you kid yourself you are still getting stronger. You find yourself doing sets of 3 or 4 reps with insane weight.

Not from being stupid..... just from being driven and discovering that things do have limits. Limits we dare not acknowledge.

2)
Low carb diets
Being a 1950's / 60's comic book design, I am happy to have one of those huge arnold / lou rib cages..... BUT I also get fat FAST. I tend to diet down from time to time. Stupid Bulk up cut down brainwashing. None the less I find that fewer carbs make me lose flab.

When muscles are full of glycogen, they are hard as steel and round. On low carbs they are deflated balloons. Never go on low carbs for a few days then try to do your normal lifts. I was on low carbs when I had my bad back injury and also my bad torn triceps muscle. Muscles are just hydraulics. Our bodies are composed mostly of water. Carbs give the muscle cells volume power and size. Never train heavy on low carbs. You will tear yourself.

Hope this makes sense!
