That's right. Though my ligament damage in my back I still don't truly know the cause of, I do know that I have slight Scoliosis, but it shouldn't be severe enough to cause these issues.

I can only assume it's a number of factors dating back to when I was a teenager or younger perhaps, old injury?, bad posture, muscle/tendon/ligament strength imbalances?

Who knows? I actually have to get X-rays taken, but I'm lazy and haven't gotten around to it.

Yup Yup I was overzealous with my wrist though and paid the price. Too heavy too frequently, not stopping when I got little niggles, refusing to drop volume or load despite being on a cut.

Yeah I hurt my wrist last year around August, never healed until I was forced away from the gym when we went down to the coast for 3 weeks, was healed by the time I came back in January.

After that I hurt my left shoulder on the flat bench press, there was this constant grinding noise coming from it, not good and I carried on and now its really farked.
So far have had to dump the following exercises - flat bench press, dumbbell flies, decline bench, overhead lifts and shoulder is now feeling better.

For chest these days its Incline Bench press and cables flies with limited motion whereby I don't take the cables to my sides and rather focus on the burn.

And to top things off my heart is giving me trouble since beginning of July, been to Dr. and its stress related from work, driving everyday +-133km and my kids.
Dr. says heart rate normal, blood pressure and sugar all normal recommended I start some exercise, lol.
So I started running everyday, do 1km fast run every evening before i hit the gym.

Shiiit that's scary, thanks for sharing. One of my biggest fears is some form of heart strain/failure and I also hate cardio. I really should work it in somewhere.

Being injured is the worst, wouldn't wish it upon my most loathed enemy.

I hope we can both recover to the fullest!
 
Have a voucher code to spend on the Reebok Store which I wanted to spend on the ZQuick TR, but not so sure about it after reading that it has a compressible sole.

Maybe I could remove the Ortholite sole? Thoughts?
 
I experienced some catastrophic shorts failure while squatting last night.

What do you guys where for squatting?

Tracksuit pants here, I ripped 2 pairs of those before too. I see it happen a lot though at my gym at this point it's like one of those things that gets your attention for a second, then you just forget about it, like someone dropping a DB unnecessarily loud.
 
As far as I have read you don't really need to take a week completely off.

Just do the same exercises but lower the weight and/or volume to give your body a bit of a break.

Do this every 8 weeks or so.

Just wear the right kind of shorts. Polyester stretchy shorts designed for training are just fine for ATG squats. I train heavy and never ripped a pair.

Should I be doing this even if my program includes 2 rest days per week?
 
Can u guys suggest a good supplement / meal replacement that won't bloat me like that dischem branded crap? I've started working out and get hungry but am too lazy to eat proper meals at times
 
Nutritech have changed their '100 % pure whey' recipe. I'm very disappointed. From being the best tasting, good quality whey it's now just a another bland whey shake. It doesn't taste as good as before and has a thicker consistency. Maybe I just got a bad batch. Meh.
