Yes, but you put yourself in the weight class that makes you "short" (you gain weight to where you can). Being short-leveraged (like dan green) is def an advantage. He is not "short" but rather very wide for his height. #manletsport | ||

Height and weight don't scale linearly. Wilt Chamberlain is never going to be a good powerlifter for his weight. | ||

How do you guys decide when to start doing an exercise when you've injured yourselves? I feel like I should try to stay on the safe side, but what if I psych myself out etc? Also, I should start at a somewhat lower weight when I try again, right? | ||

I proceeded to go a week beyond that doing my leg exercises (squat, deadlift) per the norm, and I think I definitely aggravated it. I've been resting this week, but I'm not sure how long to wait. Really want to get back to it, but at the same time injuring it again/worse is obviously dumb. Not sure if icing it at this point would still help or no.

Also, I should start at a somewhat lower weight when I try again, right? If it's really bad (constant pain, interferes with normal activity) then go see a physical therapist. If it just hurts when you use it, keep the deadlifts/squats light. Don't do anything heavy enough to cause acute pain. Do some stretching and mobility. The movement is good for it as long as you don't do anything strenuous enough to make it worse. Hit your upper body stuff hard. | ||

Apply heat regularly if it's a muscle; cold sporadically if you feel an inflamated joint. A good self diagnose tool is to stretch the area gently; if you feel "relief" it's a muscle cramp, whereas if you feel "pain" with the stretch you have a minor tear. | ||

Yo dudes. Progress pic. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bOc4w5j.jpg?1) I am actually the lightest I've been since college. ~210 lbs. If anyone wants to know why they should add on weight and build strength when they are young the answer is because by the time you are 30 you can get shredded without even trying that hard. Way easier to bring insane intensity inside and outside the gym when you are in your early 20s than it is after that. | ||
