Poor fella must be devastated, hes lucky he didnt get hurt more from the bar falling on him.

He must have some sort of underlying bone issue. Especially when you consider that he lifts 4 times or more a week and should have really good bone density due to the stress of lifting stimulating appositional bone growth an remodeling.

sooo I have suspected disk prolapse between L4 and L5... spine is a long way out, I lean to my left which is probably what has caused it... my lumbar is also very compressed, along with some other more minor issues in my mid back and neck

I have 4 weeks of treatments twice a week... Chiro pretty confident he can fix me up in that time and reckons I'll come back much stronger... thinks I've been leaving a lot of strength on the table being as misaligned as I am... I didn't ask if I'll make Nats, I guess we'll wait and see

Happy to train through knee, shoulder, elbow pain etc but don't want to stuff around with my back... will be doing what he says (he's a fellow powerlifter)

have the all clear to keep benching/pressing... just no overhead work

He won't adjust you without a full spinal xray... They are in Rosebud and will refer you to an xray place down there but I'm sure you could get them done anywhere

Went and saw him first but I guess you could have some xrays done first

Did he say if the heavy lifting might have contributed to it?

Did he tell you to stop the heavy lifting or go easy for a while?

I hurt it while deadlifting, no doubt about it... only because I was lifting whilst badly out of alignment... I'm sure I would not have had any issues had I been seeing someone to have maintenance work done instead of waiting til I hurt myself

I pulled 200kg x 5 for 3 sets... then deficit deadlifted 180kg x 8 and 160kg x 13 (to failure)... I'm pretty sure I did it in that last set... I was fatigued and let my form go, plus I was lifting from a deficit and it's already hard for me to get down to the bar and setup correctly... I was then very stiff in that area for the next week but kept lifting anyway... on my next DL session I warmed up a lot because of the stiffness but everything felt heavy... my top sets were supposed to be 215kg x 3 x 3... I pulled the first set and only barely managed it... felt like I strained something and immediately it started to hurt

he said no deads or squats for the time being... no overhead lifting or anything that compresses my spine... I'll get the treatment and as soon as he clears me I'll get back to it... I'm already seeing improved movement every day and I've always healed quickly so fingers crossed

Yeah hope it gets sorted soon.

I guess the qn to ask is are you still keen on lifting big weights now this has happened to you?

After I hurt myself, and nowhere near anything like you did, I qn whether there is any need to lift heavy. You compete but I don't.

I probably shouldn't have these thoughts in this thread................. Lol

it sounds a lot worse than it is... I'm really not in that much pain, just uncomfortable bending over and sitting for long periods

I can't wait to lift heavy again... I don't feel right not having squatted for nearly two weeks lol

However I won't be lifting heavy unless everything feels right in that area and I get the all clear from the Chiro... I won't ignore it again

I had this week off except for a short bench session but I'll be back into 4-5 sessions a week next week... lot's of bench pressing, supported rows, pull ups, dips etc

TTT: thanks mate... I'll be pretty gutted if I miss Nats... never thought I'd ever do a bench only comp lol! But if I'm not healthy then I'll live to lift another day... I'm sure there will be some other comp I can do later in the year

will be a pity because I hadn't missed a rep in training and was programmed for a 610kg total... think I could nudge 620kg fully healthy too

shit happens, people have come back stronger from a lot worse injuries

Jason Mawby looks after our entire team, he has totalled 600kg@100kg, his wife also competes.

He fixed up Nina and Max, they still get alignments every fortnight, I think he has around 30 clients from PTC

Emad is out of hospital. What was supposed to be a 1hr op lasted 3. His bones are like concrete, they struggled to drill through them

Dr Bruce Reid and Dr Peter Larkins believe there was a stress fracture there that the MRI didnt pick up

He has a titanium rod running through his humerus now. He was in the gym today.

Nick, you'll be fine if you listen to Jason, we work together, we have a 100% success rate. Max started squatting an empty bar after Jason realigned him, he is about to squat 250kg x 4.

You wont recognise the place when you walk in lol

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
