What injuries did you guys got lifting/training and how did you fix them, if you did?

I'm climbing, kind of stuck at progression cant get past 6c. Every time I try hard in the gym my fingers starts tweaking. Luckily nothing serious that needs surgery or whatever. Then I lose like 1-2 months on recovering but just slowly progressively loading and when I'm recovered the cycle repeats. I think the issue is that my dip joint has hypermobility which causes excessive stress in the structure when crimping hard.

>>76777795 (OP)
My knees are weird from running and deadlifting too much and too fast but at least they don't hurt anymore after taking it easy for a few weeks.

>>76777795 (OP)
Look into MSM, glucasomine, bromelaine, vitamin C and bone broth/bone gelatine and cartiladge collagen pills for faster recovery
also sauna

I dislocated my left shoulder when I was riding a bike a year ago, put it in back myself, did recovery mself and did rehab myself and within 3 months I was like new
I don't trust the doctors

>>76778257
I dont trust doctors when they peddle pills instead of lifestyle changes.
I do trust a surgeon to open me up and fix a comepletely detached ACL. No amount of bone broth or Vit C sups can make my detached ligament glue itself together as if I'm wolverine.

>>76777795 (OP)
You started mma in your thirties? That's retarded

>>76778668
>Start doing a sport by immediately going pro
I guess your injury is severe brain damage, huh?

>>76778664
Ligaments can heal themselves, the reason why they don't is because people
>restrict bloodflow to area with cold exposure (ice packs)
>restrict bloodflow to area by elevating the area
>restricting inflammation (natural body way of fixing itself) with anti-histamines and pain killers
>not having mineral and nutrients in body for their body to fix itself.
>putting ice on ligaments makes them constrict and tighten, tearing up even further
RICE method doesn't work even though they peddled that shit for years to multimillionaire athletes that trusted their big wallets with pseuds. Doctors are retards that know nothing about the body or how it functions. Only recently did they start listening to the doctor that invented RICE method that tried telling everyone that he was wrong and that it is completely backwards.
Pic related. Richest niggers fucking up their feet and knees because they "ache"

Surgeons never fix ligaments, they are butchers
Ask anyone with spinal surgery or knee surgery how their life feels now
Body can heal its level 1 and level 2 ligament tears with enough time, nutrition and proper rehab. Red light therapy, sauna, massages, and enough minerals and antioxidants can fix your ligament tear.
Look into dr joel wallach arthritis cure.

But hey, you do you.

>>76778701
Lol

Spinal surgeries and knee surgeries help greatly for most people.. except lumbar spine surgeries, that's the only time where they should be almost always avoided .

>>76778701
I actually do know people who had ACL surgeries. One even did well in the ufc.
I know nobody who did spine surgery though. But knee surgeries are always successful from my anectodal experiences

I'm a year into my lifting journey, and relatively early on, I injured my left shoulder (probably by loading 25kg plates on a fucking leg press LOL). It's fine now except when doing lat raises or deep shoulder presses. No pain during the movement, but getting anywhere near close to failure and stopping the movement, even with light weight, causes horrible, sharp pain in my teres major area. I ignored it for a while, but now it feels like it just gets worse each session, so I completely dropped lateral raises from my program and I'll see how that goes. Shoulder pressing doesn't cause nearly as much pain, especially with my elbows tucked in.

It's really frustrating. Nothing else really causes any issues

>>76778684
If you got a torn ACL, broken ribs, cauliflower ear, and a fucked up nose from training mma IN YOUR THIRTIES AS A HOBBY you are in fact the retard

>>76778826
Maybe because I got them from training and competing in wrestling and kickboxing for the past 12 years?
Jesus, do people in fit actually do any competitive sports or are you particularly retarded?

>>76778826
>average /fit/izen thinks you get sports related injuries and can go pro after just starting doing said sport
lmao, nta but you're really showing how little fit know about anything sports related.

>>76778878
>>76778893
YOURE 31
THIS WILL NEVER BE A CAREER
THIS WILL ONLY BE LONG TERM DAMAGE
YOU ARE RETARDED
Light sparring is one thing, actual fucking matches is just moronic. Literally any pro mma guy would tell you the same thing. But yeah go get punched in the head and shit for nothing. It's no different than the backyard wrestling guys

>>76778774
Sounds a lot like tendonitis, anon. Did you have it checked? Also do you work in an office and use a computer each day?

>>76778907
Its not my job lmao. I just like competing and getting paid doing it in low level. I'm just acumulating experience to coach in my 40s. Not all of us train like retards in dagestan. I only hard spar once a week max, and never while preparing a fight.
Mma dont have as much cte issues as boxing since we dont hit our head as often thanks to the grappling. And like I said, my gym dont spar like retards.
Also lmaoing at your mindset. Everything's worth it if its what you want. You must hce so much regret in life from not doing the shit you wanted.

Gave myself tinnitus by sleeping on my stomach, now I sleep on the floor and on back only and my spine keeps popping randomly and tinnitus does go away at night at least but shit's fucked, I can't even jog without pain.

>>76777795 (OP)
Your training sucks. Get a new gym.

>>76777795 (OP)
31yo here as well
>serveral (probably at least 3) bulged discs, some of them haven't been acting up for years fortunately
>some mystery pain in my knee that's been coming and going for months acquired by going too hard in a moshpit
>fucked tendon in a hand/wrist that I made worse by ignoring it for a long time, now I avoid any underhand movement, so I do curls with a neutral grip bar, maybe it will eventually go away
>golfer's elbow once years ago that got healed on its own, I think I just ignored it and it eventually passed, I recently got it again by doing super heavy db rows with fat grips and I doubt it will go without a fight
>another wrist being kinda hurt probably from heavy dips, it's nothing particularly bad for now, but it doesn't get better, so I guess it will eventually blow up in my face
>dislocated shoulder years ago, I took a serious break from any resistance training, came back only little by little and the joint started eventually feeling brand new, no problems whatsoever
sometimes it feels like an uphill battle, I should probably take a year long break or maybe buy a gym membership and train exclusively on machines, I'm pretty sure a lot of people left lifting completely behind after a bad streak of injuries, the more disciplined you are the worse the RNG gets

>have small hernia bulge most likely inguinal
>ignore this for a few months because I’m busy and can’t go to doctor
>lay on back and push it in or ease of activity and it usually stops causing pain in a day or two
>go to doctor
>they can’t find it with CT scan
>tell me maybe I need to wait for it to get worse for them to see it

!?!!?????


Probably going to try and buy some truss or belt thing for it so I can keep lifting and working out for now.

>>76779306
Jesus. Hernias are legit disgusting and scary shit. Like, your guts are litterally poking out.
What kind of doctors are that? If you can push it in, cant they detect it from touch alone?

>>76778735
>One even did well in the ufc.
WHo?

>>76779082
Anon how the fuck did you get tinnitus from that?

>>76777795 (OP)
Got a sports hernia. Rehab exercise did fuck all for me. It got healed when I took calcium +D3 vitamin gummies.

I'll fight OP on the path after school

>>76777795 (OP)

You're a wise man anon. Human body has an incredible ability to heal, but doctors can mess you up permanently.

>>76782875
KEK

28

Never had any injury aside from a cycling collision I had 5 years ago in I which I just popped my shoulder back into place and kept riding. As I get older I realize I need to take a rest week at least once every 2 months just to prevent long term injury.

>>76782887
>As I get older I realize I need to take a rest week at least once every 2 months just to prevent long term injury.
Helps prevent injury pretty much regardless of age, but loading up on stuff like >>76778257 prophylactically (and more, as an additional basic bitch example, cherry juice) does way more than just an occasional "de-load."

>>76777795 (OP)
I got heel hooked hard in BJJ, was limping for months. I kept walking and started lifting ASAP, now it's 100%.
I had severe ankle sprain in Judo, also was limping for months. It might have been a minor fracture, I have no idea. I just kept walking on it and lifting weights until it went away, but it took like 14 months. Now it's 99% normal, with only slight pain if I were to put it at max flexion with weights on my back. I do BJJ now and it's totally fine.
Basically I don't fear ligament injuries anymore, I can lift through the pain and not worry about it. It does make it hard to do cardio though.

>>76782970
>it took like 14 months
Holy skill issues, my worst ankle sprain took like 2 months to rehab and my most minor like 2 days, kek.

I did bracing and compression for the 2 month one which seemed to help a really lot quickly.

>>76782990
I don't know if it was broken. Also, you probably had a pussy little sprain. Not 130lbs slamming into your ankle while it's fully sideways stuck to the floor.

>>76782994
>Also, you probably had a pussy little sprain. Not 130lbs slamming into your ankle while it's fully sideways stuck to the floor.
Actually worse but more embarrassing; tripped over a stationary e-scooter with my body over it and my foot under it, unintentionally lifting it off the floor with the spraining foot. I was roughly at the victim/perp weight cutoff, kek.

you are a faggot, bjj is a disease. its also the most useless martial art because it makes people think they are elite killers for 0 reason
MONEYBERG REPRESENTS BJJ thats why they hate him

>>76783071
Not really. I continue to do sports at full strength, and my lifting sessions are excellent.
Anyway, you can say the same for any sport. Injuries are the cost of doing sports.
BJJ is just a fun game, it's better for self-defense than being untrained but worse than MMA.

Biggest one was a disc bulge. Went away with stopping squats/DLs but got into functional fitness lately and it came back with clean and jerks.

I've stopped it and will wait for it to die down but it's a shame, I really like the idea of overall functional strength but my body just can't bend. Not worth the potential cost though.

>>76783090
you just said you cant do cardio because of these injuries, and lift with pain.
>Injuries are the cost of doing sports
based

>>76777795 (OP)
Tore my rotator cuff on my 7th set of 295lb bench when I was dehydrated like an idiot
Took more than a year to fully heal, 3 to mentally recover

I've blown my back out arching, rounding and just living
Still squat and deadlift tho cuz I ain't a bitch

>>76783184
Just wear a belt and squat/dead slowly

>>76783187
>you just said you cant do cardio because of these injuries
Maybe i was unclear, it was only a problem while healing from a leg injury. I guess you could use a treadmill on an incline or find an arm cycle machine to work around it.
>lift with pain.
It's extremely minor pain and only during a specific range of motion during one lift. Only worth mentioning because it exists. It has not prevented me from doing anything at all.
>based
Yes.

>>76783195
Nah, I did everything right. I would warm up loads, never did anything like heavy weights. Think when the clean and press reignited it I was just doing the bar with 10s. I think I just have some poor body dynamic for it.
