Who trains through pain??

[BigRed54]

well I wasn't really looking for anything specific, clearly I didn't mean any of the basic burning and fatigue that you feel, I mainly speaking in reference to "bad" pain.

Like do you knees hurt when you squat? I have tendinitis in my left shoulder and when I'm doing that tricep excercise where you lay as if you were doing skullcrushers but you go beyond your head from behind as if you were putting the bar back on the ground almost like a seated chest pullover but it works the back of your tris and your upper chest...(what would you call that anyways??) my shoulder likes locks and pops.

Just curious if you guys lift through injuries really?

If your shoulder just pops and it's not that big of a pain, then your fine. My shoulders pop all of the time so I just try and work through it. But if it is major pain, like you said tendinitous, then you should try to warm up your shoulders before lifting heavy to try and strengthen the weak muscle that is making it pop.

yea I been tryin to increase some of my front and rear delt flexibility through rotater cuff excercises with a 5 lb DB for warm up. There is so much lack of flexibility though its fuckin hard to make progress.

I have worked out the last few years with shoulder pain on the right side and a bad bicept. I would not take off or even lift light to give the injured parts time to recover. My wife would give me constant shit, for not seeing a doctor and for pounding these bodyparts every week. Some days, I would take pain killers to power me through my workouts. Anyhow about 7 weeks ago, I came down with the flue, was dehydrated and required 7 bags of water, was also in ketosis state at the end of the chart range. The doctor told me how stupid, I was, for working out sick and starting my high protein diet while my body was already totally out of wack. I lost 30 pounds while sick and lost almost 20% of my power. I have always trained even when sick in the past and never had any problems. I knew better, being a certified trainer, but would not follow by own advice. The doc gave me two additional weeks off work,making a total of 3 weeks off. The female doctor told my wife to hide my supplement bag and workout stuff. What really burns me up is the fact that after taking off, my shoulder and bicept are 100% now and my wife keeps saying, I told you so. Now she thinks she some sort of expert. Currently back at my original bodyweight and strenght.

Right now I'm trying to work through a pain in my left bicep.
Some days are worse than others, but I'm trying to get through it.

I train through pain...mostly neck, back, hips...something of that sort. Plan on backing off after my contest though.

I do. I hosed up my back when I was a teenager and the only thing that helped were good mornings. I started at a light weight and did tons of reps. It hurt like hell but it never felt like I was making it worse. After a while, I had no lower back pain.

Now it is 20 years later. I had quit working out for nearly 19 years and had near cronic lower back pain again. I've been doing good mornings and ab work and guess what...I rarely have lower back pain anymore.

I hurt my hip running a couple of years ago and I rehabbed it doing squats. Now my hip is just a little stiff every once in a while.

I hurt my wrist this past weekend doing something stupid. Anyway i tried to lift today, but it still hurt so i couldnt. I was going to push myself to do it anyway, but i know in the long run i will probably miss more days by injuring it more,than just taking some days off now to heal. I will probably look at myself in the mirror the next few days and feel like i am shrinking..I sometimes wonder if i am the only person that feels way when they dont train due to a injury,or other reasons.
