Shit, I've had pulled musles, jacked up my shoulder from putting too much weight on the military press, squated improperly with too much weight and fucked up my lower back..........oh yeah, I've run the gammet of gym injuries....

This is like a mirror image of my injuries and how i sustained them lol. Even though it is horrible to here about injuries, it is comforting to know that i am not the only one that has suffered... I would never wish them on someone though, that's for sure!!

Ones that stand out.
1) rupterde Bursa sack in the left elbow. a few months to heal.
2) lower back injury from deadlifts, at 405 going for fifth set of 8 something went snap. 9 days in a navy bed followed by years of back problems. Happened in 97 and I still see a chiropractor to this day and cant do heavy deads, squats or bent over barbell rows any more!
3) developed hinge impingement syndrome in both shoulders, that is manageable when I take rest after the flair ups.
4) Pulled just about everything out of whack at least once.
5) My personal favorite, while going for a 14th rep at 275 on the bench press I had a barbell squirt out of my sweaty paws and the weight fell straight on my chest. I swear to you all that the barbell actually bounced hard enough off of my chest that I somehow actually managed to get my left arm under it before it fell back on me again. Only suffered a long straight bruise accross both pecs. Lucky on that one, no broken bones, no ctual injury. It was a freak thing that couldnt happen again without breaking something.

You are a machine!!

The other time, I was doing some box-jumps about 3' off the ground. On my sixth set, I felt a slight hesitation before my jump and I knew I wasn't going to make it.
I landed on the edge of the wooden box, on my ankles, and I slid down to my knees.
I still have the scar from that one.

Sounds nasty....

^yea. It was painful and hard to walk. I had to work a 6 hour shift as a waiter right after that, too. ):
