EPTHow much pain should you have from an injury before you push back/cancel a workout?
Today is a rest day, and tomorrow is squats ohp row day. I have all day off tomorrow so I've got plenty of time for icing and stretching before I work out.

I have no problem going down parallel or lower. However, I'm thinking I probably didn't squeeze my glutes very well in my squat sessions which in turn forced me to squeeze with my inner thighs which is bad I think. Do you think that is the cause perhaps? EDIT: Actually now I'm very sure that it's a groin strain. The causes could be anything from what I mentioned above to not enough adequate warm-up etc etc. So should I stop doing squats for a week and just lightly do some groin stretches in the mean-time? Don't stretch strains. You can do mobility work to the edge of pain, but stretching is a no no. http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2010/01/on-muscle-strains/ | ||

Front Squat: 120kg 3-3-3-3-3 Overhead Press: 81kg 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 Push Press: 75kg 5-5-5 DB-Bench Press: 25kg 15-15 This has got to earn the title for the most stupid idea of this week: After 8 heavy sets of OHP, to go for 3 hard sets of Push Presses. Well, how else you gotta learn. | ||

I really feel like my game has improved a solid bit since I've started playing - I understand quite well what's going on in the field, and I know at least what I should be doing, even if I don't know the best way to go about it. My big handicap though is still my history in sports - even for a basketball player, I was always "soft" inside, and making the switch to full contact sports is crazy. I don't have the "aggression" or the "killer instinct" to make a hard hit. It's not that I'm scared of doing it, it's just that my instinct is "stop the guy with the ball" not "kill the guy with the ball" and in the past that's always just meant "get in front of him and use your hands." It's actually lead to at least three tries in the last two games that I can clearly remember, when a back has beaten me because I didn't commit to a tackle and ended up scoring. BRB need to get on Roids so that I start tearing people apart. | ||

I mostly just look in front of me.

Trust me you have that switch inside you, something will set it off. Getting scored on because i fucked up is the most infuriating thing ever to me.

And that makes you my mortal enemy and i'm going to punish you for thinking you can have that ball and get away with it. Once i make that first hit, my whole body comes alive and all i can think about is destroying someone. It's the greatest feeling in the world to know that the man across from you wanted nothing more in the world than to run you over and you dominated him and showed him you're more of a badass. It's something you need to experience yourself. You might have to consciously do it the first couple times, but then it will just become a part of you after that. Literally the next time you see someone coming at you consciously think about jumping at them with your shoulder (make sure you wrap up). I still remember the first game i dumped a kid, just squared up on him, picked him up, and smashed him into the ground. (vs indiana, big 10 tournament last year, sept. 28th i believe. Approximately 3pm). Never looked back. In summary: ![[image loading]](http://www.cims.nyu.edu/~perkins/writtenF09/nike-just-do-it.jpg) Just watched that and now i'm itching to murder someone. I don't think i'll make it till saturday. | ||

It happened on sunday and hurt so bad i couldn't sleep when i woke up in the morning i could barely walk and when i looked at my leg there was a gap. The doctors said i might need surgery but so far the meds and keeping it elevated seem to be doing wonders for me. | ||

Luckily i have an easy job, i sit here and watch sc2 all day basicly haha. I usually have it elevated for about 15 minutes every hour im not sure if this is to much or to little but it feels good to me. I also walk as normal as i can with no limp as long as i dont feel more pain. At the moment its a constant agonizing pain but i can deal with that when i walk just not the sharp shooting ones if i take a bad step haha. Im also thinking of applying heat to it but im not sure if thats advised, i think it would feel nice tho. | ||
