Bored & In Pain
Another boring day, I went to the physio again for my shoulder and was told that they usually take a long time to heal, I have damaged my Anterior Deltoid, which is the front muscle in the shoulder.
It was all due to doing something silly in the gym, I understand why older poeple say "pride goes before a fall" now. My training partner couldn't come to the gym that day because of previous engagements with his tennis team, so i was in the gym without a training partner and no one to spot me while i was doing my set. I was working on chest as u do, and got round to the incline dumbell press, i did the whole of my trainign up till then and was feeling quite positive untill i lifted up a couple of 52kg dumbells from my knee and the left one went a little too far, but instead of dropping it, i held it up and tried to correct the positioning of it which didn't help my shoulder, i felt some pain in it at the time but i did it and completed my set of 10 reps although i felt it more afterwards.
I continued to go to the gym regurlarly after that too, i must have caused further damage to it, but eventually after 3 months of pain and not being able to do heavy weights i decided it was about time to get treated. and went to see a sports physiotherapist highly recommended by my friend.
I totally miss training though, i mean i have been running a bit but it dosn't really make up for the training that i would have been doing, i mean it helps but isn't that useful on it's own.
I told the Physio that i have even had a dream about training the other night, thats how eager i am to get back in. she says the tendons connecting the muscle take a while to repair, up to 3 months.
Looks like i'm out for the count and that's alot of gym time/money wasted
so i suppose that should be a warning for us all, make sure u train with a training partner and never neglect your health.
I suppose on the upside it has allowed me to concentrate on other aspects of my life.
