Billy: Obviously I know EXACTLY how you feel. Just out of curiousity, is your back pain to the left or right of the base of your spine, where it connects to your waist? If so, than you have an injury similar to mine. Just to give some advice and my experience, ice it like a motherfucker. I would not recommend sitting in hot water. Pray that you have not detached a ligament or muscle. That can be a good 6 months out. You should not be sitting down right now! Sitting is one of the worst things you can do. Standing or laying on your stomach on a firm surface, possibly with a pillow under your stomach is best. Avoid stretching your back, and be very careful when you bend over. Also, take a week off. It sucks, but you have to do it. I was stupid the first time and even finished my workout after I got hurt. Another important point. Check out the quality of the bed that you sleep in. If it is soft, sags in the middle, or is a water bed...get a new matress!!! Especially if it is a water bed. Part of the reason why my injury took so long to heal the first time is because I was sleeping on a poor mattress, stressing my back when it could be healing the most. <sleep> Avoid these exercises for a long time: Squats Anything else that STRETCHES or puts pressure on your lower back and glutes One more thing, if you cannot walk tommorrow, than your injury is more serious than mine. Pray that is not the case. You already know my injury cost me 5 months and 7 lbs... Good luck friend.     | ||

frakal my boy- ive had the lower spine/ glute injury before...this is different, it's up a good bit higher...i was doing deadlifts and tried to lift too much i guess, got it about a foot off the ground and pop...dropped the weight (reracked the shit, ouch) and went home...it's gonna be bad, the pain was instantaneous instead of "the morning after"...i think i'll be able to walk...the pillow under the stomach is a must...i had been doing so good lately, added 150lbs to my dead easy.... | ||

Eeeeesh....I hope it works out ok for you. One more thing, you should be taking anti inflammatories every 4 hours or so. <ibuprofen, tylenol, etc..> Continue to do this as well as the ice for a few days at least. Important!!!! | ||

Torn ligament...uh oh...  I hate that..just when you're at your highest point. Be prepared to lose some mass...keep at it though. In the long run when you rebuild you'll look better than you did the first time... | ||

Bundy, you don't know if he can or not the 420. I am only 120 but have done 218 on the decline press and people at the gym say I can't do it. WRONG, they know I can do it now. People should not judge a book by it's cover. Enough said. | ||

He has no problem with 420.. I've been tracking billy's dead lift weight for a while, since I'm trying to catch up with him. .. it's absolutly true. | ||

Hey Gynocomaestia Bundy, <glenbenton> you are a sullen, negative, jealous motherfucker. You are less significant than a speck of flea shit on the back of a fly feeding on the carcass of a dead sewer rat. You will serve no purpose in this life other than to make other people feel glad that they were born as someone other than yourself. Don't blame others for your pathetic-ness. Blame god, or your mother. I'm sure she did not expect to actually get pregnant with you from having sex with a stray dog. |
