Everyone once in a while gets injuries. Here is what happened to me 3 years ago: as many of you know the abs are in fact 2 muscle groups and in between there is a gap of normally 0.5 cm (1/5 inch). My gap is, thanks to heavy ab training (prior roid usage) 1.3 cm (1/2 inch). I know this because my first echo ever taken was on the abs. When I was training biceps with a barbell, all of a sudden I had an injury in the abs area which scared me. So after a few days I went to the hospital and thanks to the echo the doctor saw that my aorta (the main vein in your body) had found the opening between the abs and came out. Lucky for me after a few weeks this was gone. But talking about a weird injury. Are there any other guys with weird injuries ? ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |

Ok, here is another one. 25 years ago, only training at home with the "Bullworker", every day for about 10 minutes. Holding the "Bull" before your chest and pressing it to close, amongst other excercices but this one counts. After a month my left upperarm started to feel painfull after exercising. Sometimes the pain was so hard i had to walk around for 15 minutes not knowing what happened. It happened all right, 2 months later my upperarm exploded and the bull flew through the room. Thanks to osteoporose and me being stupid. Also the left elbow hurted like hell, more then the upperarm and even the doctors (some doctors) didn' t know what it was. They put me to sleep and when i woke up my left arm was in plaster, all the way down from the mid-upperarm. After 8 weeks and some kine they finally found out, not only the elbow was hurt, but the arm was broken. The bad part was, they should have put my whole upperarm in plaster, so the break would have been protected and would have healed better. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |

So i will bump myself. In november last year my dog (Dobermann Pincher, 12 years old) comes next to me in the kitchen and put his foot on my foot. It really hurts, but who cares. That time i was doin heavy cardio on the stairmaster (stairstepper ?). Four weeks later i am walking to my gym and my foot starts hurting. I go to train, but cannot walk home. So one of the family picked me up and brings me to the hospital. The X-rays shows that my left foot is broken. It seems the injury I got from my dog standing on my foot resulted in Osteoporose (like my arm 25 years ago). So for me the change to year 2000 was in the platter. Talking about a funny injury. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |

Here is the last one : i trained my abs very hard in 1985, 87 and 88. For about 6 months every day untill i got tired of it. What i did was lying on a bench, putting 2 towels on my chest and i chained myself around the bench over the chest to stay in position. Then with 18 kgr (40 pounds) attached on the bottom of my feet i did 5x15 of leg extentions every day. All of what i posted on the Elite Fitness Discussion board is true, no joke. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |

Bro, is there something wrong with you? I mean physically? Like an abnormality or bone disease? The herniated discs I can understand, but the aorta and arm and foot are just so far out there. I believe you, it is just the first time I have ever heard anything so strange. I remember one injury I got in my achilles tendon years ago. Made it feel like an accordian. I think you will have everyone beat hands down. peace bro. IP: Logged |

Ok want a wierd injury... When I was in the 11th grade I was walking home one day after school, and I sneezed. Well no big deal except that I felt a pain in my neck. The pain became worse after about 2 days, almost unbearable. So my mother basically forces me to the doctor, and after an Xray found I had broken my own collar bone. WTF is that all about..thats when I learned always what to punch first when I get a man on the ground...it breaks real easy..heh..heh...I thought that was strange.. later, ------------------ IP: Logged |

No, nothing wrong with my bones. The arm i should have stopped doing it. Because when you have pain there is something wrong. The foot, my dog hit a bone, maybe it moved a little bit and then it got worse, but until it brook, no pain. He didn't break a toe, it was in the middle of the foot. The aorta, well i always thought that was the main vein in the body. I still don't know how that could happen. At least that gave the least discomfort. Yeah WCP, that is a weird injury. And a dangerous one. But fortunately you got away with it. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |
