Man I tell you. I was "this close" to a "Rock" body. I was going to the gym 5 nights a week (I go at night because nobody else is there and the gym is all mine). This "Rock" workout has me doing 5 sets, so when you add heavy weights to it, it has a tendency to overload your spine.. and that's what happened to me.. an overloaded spine.
At the base of our spines lie the lumbar, the sacrum and the tailbone. In the gym, I was overdoing it with the sit ups. 100 per day I guess is too much. I will have to double-check that with the trainer at ISS, because it was working.. all of it was working, that's the frustrating part.
I hurt my low back lifting and twisting, at least, I think it was that, or the sit ups, or working at my desk too long. One of the many dumb things I do to myself caused it, and it knocked me out for a month.
My back injury was no joke. It still hurts a little right now so I am trying to keep this blog entry short. I do want to know about your experience with lifting. Have you injured yourself? What did you do for it? Please comment below.
