    Name your weighlifting injuries

    I am currently dealing with a rotator cuff injury and a torn quad muscle. I hate in injuries! In the past elbow problems.

    been bodybuilding for 8 years now. I've hurt my left shoulder twice doing power cleans, minor joint pain which went away relatively quick. Other than that the only thing I've done was injure my right knee a couple times and I believe it was fluid retention causing discomfort in it because it only happened when I gained rapid water weight. I've been really lucky, no torn pecs or serious rotator cuff injuries. I've backed off flat bench and incline bench w/ the barbells altogether, its just db's now. I occasionally do decline bench w/ the barbell, but thats it.

    torn serratus(took a while to heal)..deep quad tear (durin contest prep...overdieting + heavy squats= deep muscle tear). Knee/Hip/Back Pain. Shoulder pain (one hurts from a non-bodybuilding-related injury/dislocation...and the other hurts from over compensating for the hurt shoulder while it was healing)...rotator cuff impingement. Pinched nerve in my trapezius.


    Various other sprains that come and go during contest prep.

    i have horrible back pain sometimes, stemming from a car accident. i also have a permanently fukd up big toe, no doubt some ligament damage there. have a bad shoulder too. but i never go to the doctor. doctors never know what they are talking about.

    Not much here. Sore knees and screwed up my left elbow a couple months ago doing straight bar curls. Hurt like hell for weeks but it's getting better now. I'm sure I could get hurt more often if I had a training partner.

    tore an ab muscle while doing squats for the first time, pulled or did something wrong to my right hanstring, dropped a 65lb dumbbell on my neck while incline benching and my neck was twitching for about a week and had a red spot on the side of it.
