Fuuuck

>>35708150
Fuark that blows.

I feel bad for feeling shitty today about my stuff.

I just fucked up my hand dicing up mean for stir fry. Got to close to hand without noticing. Probably should have gotten stitches, but the bleeding stopped and my hand still functions.

Probably won't be able to grip a bar for a week tho.


Good luck on recovery breh.

>>35708150
Damn bro, that's fucked up.

As for your question concerning getting back into fitness: swimming and yoga has helped me a lot with recovering from injuries in my back, shoulder and knees. Worked miracles for me. You'll lose gains, that's a no-brainer, but this way you stay a little in shape.

And here's my main brotip: don't let hunger for gains get into the way of recovery! Heal first, the lift again. To many guys keep having trouble with past injuries because they start again to soon.

Take care man, shit like this sucks.

This, you'll recovery your lost gains quicker than when you first started, don't freak out Bros

not snap city story but similar

was in my first year of lifting and really proud of my gay ass 3pl8 5x5 squat. my pride and joy

go home to NJ, squat day at a gym i wasn't used to, LA fitness. different rack heights in the power rack. also didnt get sleep the night before

load up 3pl8 for squats. go down... lose balance on the way up and fall backwards. like an idiot i don't drop it and catch myself on my back foot and muscle it all back up to the rack. which was fucking horrible for my neck

tweaked some shit. had stiff neck recurring for a few weeks at which point i slowly stopped lifting. at one point my right neck area and shoulder were completely numb... basically a pinched nerve..

some chinese doctor in chinatown massaged my neck back to full recovery after i had tried emergency care and acupuncture (LOL). so yeah i'm back into lifting and this shit was over a year ago but it was terrifying at the time

>>35708023
Leave it to two arguing grills to be the ultimate gains goblins.

>>35708103
Having just snapped my back I still value Deadlifts. It wasn't the lift that was bad it was my fault.

>>35708190
No worse, was wearing running shoes.

Ohh ohh God I belong here. Hold me /fit/. The cute nurse said "I hope you feel better." to which I said "Y-you too." only after she walked out did I realize.
