Ironberg Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Another week, another set of bruises, bumps, and tendon strains. Last week I spranged an ankle. This week I bruised my heel and twisted a knee. Gotta love contact sports. I don't know. I've been getting more and more nuisance injuries than before. Anyone else feel the same?

WhiteBelt Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Just changed gyms recently, and have to cut back on the weights to adjust to the heavier work load. Added neck training, more endurance core work, and tripled rope work. I feel like I'm going to tip over if I try to deadlift.
Ironberg Posted June 26, 2004 Author Posted June 26, 2004 That's one things I've been fortunate with: very few weight lifting injuries. But, it probably explains why I'm so bad at it.

WhiteBelt Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Sorry, I meant MT gym. But I haven't had any weight related injuries.
aefibird Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 It seems that hardly a week goes by when I've not accumulated yet another niggly little injury. However, that's just me. I'm just a klutz.

GrrrArg Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 I went away and couldn't train for two months. The benefit being that most those niggling little injuries that all MA's pick up and carry for a while, went away. Unfortunatley so did the tough skin on the bottom of my feet. First couple of proper training sesions when I got back were absolute hell.
WhiteBelt Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 It's probably best that you take one week, every one to two months, to train light. It will give your body some time to recover, which is especially true when you lift weights and train. Just cut the workload in half, and don't eat like a pig.
angelica d Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 I'm always catching my fingers when sparring, its always my own fault though. Nothing MA-related this week though...yet. This is a bit irrelevant, but the other day my fiance's dog walked over my face when I was lying on the sofa, and I got a big scratch down my cheek like a bad guy in a Bond film!!!

granmasterchen Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 i just broke 12 inches of cement tonight with my elbow...but i only have a small bruise...no injury,....sorry....no injury recently at least. That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
Ironberg Posted June 29, 2004 Author Posted June 29, 2004 Hey, that's deserves a congratulations. Way to go! "An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a civilized conversation over a bowl of... Cocoa Puffs."
