Things that make you go GRRRRR.... (Part 2)

i accidentally spilled my strawberry protein shake on the gym floor

fortunately no one said anything and they have cleaning materials within easy reach. i'm probably not the only idiot that's done it
 
Going to have to take a few weeks off 'normal' (for me) my back is pretty done in from the yoke walk at my meet on sat, apparently 50m with 200kg on your back isn't good for a spine.

No squats, Deadlift, power cleans, heavy OHP, benching with an arch etc for a week or two.

Trying to figure out what I can do, thinking of getting in for some BB style benching, lat raises, shrugs and chest supported rows tomorrow.

Any suggestions people?
 
As someone who has suffered with a bad back for a couple of years I say take the rest. That idea may totally suck, especially as you have made some good gains recently, however a little rest now giving your body time to recover is the sensible thing to do.

One or two weeks out is not a lot, trust me. When I was in my late teens and through my twenties I used to think a lost training session was the end of the world, now I realise how much time I actually had.
 
THIS! i'm the same way, but i'm going to train until i die, anyway, so no big deal when i do lose training time, even though it irks me.
 
Nothing wrong with that attitude at all.

I recall Master Sken saying "train correctly and you can train into old age".

Not training makes you a couch potato, but a few weeks out means you have a spine capable of getting you off of the couch.
 
Yeah, it's more serious DOMS than an injury per say but it is defiantly tweaked.

The problem is I may have put my name down for another comp on october 1st......

I was thinking about just playing with gymnast rings for a couple of weeks, no twisting, shearing or loading. It doesn't hurt anymore but I stumbled today and I could feel it, going to give it a few more days of doing nothing then get down to my nearest gymnastics place and have a play.
 
I'm a HUGE hypocrite for saying this, but I agree, you should definitely let it completely go away before training again.
 
you're gonna kill me for this, but you only say that to say you're huge :P

*tries to hide by passing as simon's wig*

but yeah, back injuries/massive fatigue = rest the crap out of it so you don't blow a disk. i don't think i need to go on about the back being important
 
The thing is we are all terrible at listening to our own advice.

Two of us get together on a Saturday morning for some extra Tai Chi practice. The things I pick her up on I miss myself, and likewise the things she tells me off for I catch her doing later.

I think often we know the answer, we just need MAP to hammer home some common sense.
 
Actually stared at my screen long enough to cause vertigo. Haven't managed that since I was like 19...corticosteroids notwithstanding...hahaha.
 
I don't like grrr, because I try to always remain positive (god knows how), but I was working on speed and relaxation in class today and one of my students moved in to trap my lead hand. I whipped it away and went to give him a thick ear (open handed), which he blocked with his elbow.
I now have a hurty tingly hand.

So I suppose it's a case of grrrr.
 
Grip strength is gone for some reason today.

Possibly just over use. I did a whole crapload of pullups yesterday...
