I jacked up my wrist yesterday in the gym and it's painful today. Most likely a sprain, maybe a fracture. I've got a splint on it and I've been trying to ice it whenever I can.

Even simple shit like driving or drying my hands w/ a towel hurts like hell, so I'm skeptical. I've never had a sprained wrist.

More of a sharp pain, not dull/throbbing.

what caused it?

I was doing overhead press and had just finished my last rep. I went to put the weight down and I guess my grip was fucked or I didn't have the weight over my body, because my left wrist totally gave out. Instead of letting the weight drop, I tried to stop it and yanked the fuck out of my wrist once again.

a series of unfortunate events 🤤

Kids...

Love and cherish your wrists

Cause this injury is getting old

Get an MRI yet?

No.

I think I'm going to schedule one.

There was major improvement/pain reduction the ~3 days following the injury, but it's been about the same ever since. Still bothering me, wouldn't be able to lift with it.

Get that MRI then. If something is torn, you don't want it healing improperly

@Rogue I second @Nick-NJ . My right pinky finger is crooked and has a knuckle double the size it should be, because I was too stubborn to go to the doctor.

I need you guys to send me your energy. It's leg day today. 😫

Quit complaining and start lifting! Cast of the chains that bind you and act like the European man that you are! Get in there and tear those muscle fibers. If you can walk tomorrow without pain we'll all know you didnt train hard enough.

heyo I had leg day today

pretty good sess

@BigBadSaxon - ID unironically, people yelling at me give me more motivation than people cheering me on. Go figure.

It was a roll of the dice whether that would be dickish or motivating. Never know if I can go full drill sergeant with folk or not

An old man I care for fell tonight while I was working with him. He’s not huge but he’s probably about 200 lbs. got him back up and into bed safely. Thank god I was there and not one of the females who also work with him, otherwise he would’ve been in some serious shit.

Kind of a random thing to post here but I guess it’s technically lifting 💪🏻

@Grossly Incandescent Good man!

Couldn’t do back squats today because both my knees were bugging me. Had to do leg press instead :/

I have overuse wear and tear from playing lots of basketball

Nighttime lifting is great 👌

<#388502404641062924> Can anyone offer some advice on how to avoid scuffing up my leg (about 2.5" below knee) while deadlifting? I've got quite a nasty scar there now that gets reopened and bloody every time I DL. Just for the record, I'm pretty tall and am focused on proper form so as not to destroy my back. Any advice would be appreciated. (Even if it's "man up and deal with it, you pussy") 😏

wear long socks

problem solved

@Deleted User Thanks, I'll give that a shot

Man up and deal with it, you pussy.
