Si,

You are your own worst enemy, if you are genuinely serious about training, GET TO A DOCTOR NOW.
You will do some real damage to yourself eventually!!! You could potentially even permanently disable yourself.

super_si

But it might be bad not a fan of the doctors

Little Miss WRX

The rate you are carrying on Si I reckon you will run yourself so much into the ground that you will have to see a doctor eventually and possibly for longer.

You can go see a doctor now and get it sorted, if it is bad, then you have to face it and do what the doc recommends you to do.

I don't particularly fancy having to see a physio and podiatrist, it is expensive and is exposing all of the weaknesses I have when exercising, but if I don't then I could damage myself badly continuing with the running/refereeing level I am doing at the moment.

Si, get to a doctor please!!!!!

super_si

I'll think about it.

I dont consider it to be serious and dont want to waste the doctors time

Si

Little Miss WRX

I didn't consider my shin splints to be serious until I couldn't walk. I then read up about them and the consequences of ignoring them are not good! Now that I have had them a couple of times, I have to be ultra careful with my feet and training because I have a high risk of the splint injury returning and being much worse.

So do consider it, I really, really doubt that you will be wasting a doc's time, if you don't want to see a doctor then see a physio - a sports physio at that, which might, to be honest, be a better otion.

ChrisB

Go see a physio then Si. The ones that work out of the gym I go to do a free initial assesment.

What's the worst case? You carry on and find you're shoulders are FUBAR by the time you're 30?

super_si

Are physio's free or not?

Si

zax

Have to agree with other folks here. Don't train through injuries/pain/whatever. It's not big and it's not clever. And it won't be too many years before the sins of the past come back to haunt you. Just ask my knees

Little Miss WRX

I think if you go through your doctor you can get referred to an NHS physio else you will have to pay.
I know one physio local to where I used to live in the UK was 40 pounds for either half an hour or an hour, I can't remember.

I have private health insurance now - my physio costs $45 a session (time varies) and I get $38.50 paid for by my health insurance. I pay the rest. He works for NSW Soccer and is very, very good.

ChrisB

Free? No chance privately unless you have health insurance.

You only get one body for your life though...

Little Miss WRX

After my car accident I was able to see a physiotherapist on the NHS for free. Took a while for the referral to arrive, but the physio helped my a lot in my recovery.

ChrisB is right, you only have one body - don't abuse it!

super_si

I dont consider it an injury though, just something ive noticed. Maybe i never notice it before. Could be anything. tbh ive being thinking its muscles coming through. It could just be the very top of the 6 pack muscles??

super_si

grovesy

Hehe didn't take long for a bite there mate.

Overhead ??? If you mean shoulder press I'm using 46k dumbells (biggest my gym has) squats 4 20 plates each side but thats because I train by my self and I don't do dead lifts, before I get slated I know there one of the fundemantals when doing your back but I can never be arsed.

So SI did you turn to the dark side I get some liquid help ??

Little Miss WRX

Don't bloomin' encourage him till he has been to see someone.

super_si

I love dead lifting. Can just manage 4 plates for 1 rep.

super_si

Doing dips, notice a rib above is out of place too

Gym people wthink i mate just twisted a muscle

Si

grovesy

I don't think your cut out for this gym stuff mate, leave it to the real men.

super_si

Oh i.

you wanna be body builder's crack me up.

get back to lifting your wee weights

We'll see who hits the 200k squat 1st mate. Im 99% it wont be you

grovesy

HEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEE wanna be

I'm already doing 185 i'm sure another 15k will be fine

super_si

you use a smith machine.

if i could attach my house to that i could probably squat it too

SPEN555

I got up to squatting 250kg's but when I went home and layed in bed to go to sleep I could feel my knees throbbing.

Before any of you say it's because of my technique then anyone who seen my sqautting comment I have the best squatting technique they have seen.

I have now backed off squatting as it is uncomfortable on the knees even to do one plate. Once I am warmed up and using wraps I am okay. So I sqaut about once a month just to try and keep some strength. I can still manage a 4 plate squat without a spot and I am content with that.

I am just glad that I never did any gear as I would have been squatting so much more and probably be in a wheelchair now.

I'll just have to put it down to having pi$$ poor genetics when it comes to ligaments.

Si,

be careful mate!

you know what squats and deadlifts did to me!

you don't want to end up with metal rods in your back by the time you are 30

remember recovery is the most important part of training.

you don't want to spoil all the hard work you have put in by injuring yourself.

ChrisB

Si injury himself?

Don't worry, he's bionic. Not to mention he's too hard to go to the docs or physio...
