Despite careful preparation, which includes proper warm-up, and stretching as well as proper procedures following a workout; injuries do occur.
As a result of the measures mentioned above most injuries are minor. Although an injury may be minor; it can still cause a great deal of discomfort and pain.
However, the question still remains; do we workout while injured? The answer of course, depends on the type and severity of the injury?
Years ago, athletes from all walks of life, babied injuries and usually tried waiting for them to heal before returning to the gym. Doctors did the same type of approach with post surgical patients.
Most injuries suffered from working out will involve pulled or torn muscles, strained or partially torn ligaments and tendons. Taking extra care to warm-up the injured area prior to the workout is crucial.
Pulled or torn muscles can be very difficult to heal depending on the location of the muscle, and the severity of the injury. When the muscle spasms, it tends to knot up and becomes more likely to keep getting re-injured.
Most people will think of a pulled or torn muscle in the common areas that they exercise; for example; legs arms, chest, shoulders, or back. Although the injury may be in one of these areas; it may not be the result of working out.
For example, many muscular athletes often pull and tear muscles when they are not in the gym or exercising. When they are in the gym, or on the playing field; their bodies have been prepared properly for the activity they will be engaging in. However, when they are off the field, and totally unprepared injuries often occur.
When unprepared for exercise, the body temperature is lower, and a simple movement such as bending over to pick up something, getting out of a chair, sneezing, or coughing; can cause havoc. This is especially true for heavily muscled bodybuilders!
Most people who are not extremely muscular are not as likely to suffer from the scenarios as mentioned above.
Treating pulled muscles involves massage, heat therapy, and stretching. It also involves proper diet, and proper supplementation. Taking higher doses of vitamin C and protein may help to promote healing of torn and pulled muscles.
As mentioned, exercise itself when done properly helps to promote healing. Although it may be painful to workout an injured muscle, bearing with the pain may well be worth it, as the injury may heal quicker. Today's school of thought is to work through injury and not baby it.
Once again, we repeat, when it comes to athletic injuries it is best to assess the injury, and determine the best strategy for working through it if possible. On rare occasions, it is possible that that refraining from exercise for a period of time may be the best thing. Use common sense when making this decision!
Tendon, ligament and joint injuries also require proper warm-up before exercise. People must be very careful to begin with light weights when they have this type of injury. They can gradually increase the resistance as the area gets warmer, has more blood flow, and can tolerate the pain. Failure to do this can result in serious damage.
Also, there are many wonderful sports wraps available for elbows, hands and wrists, as well as knees. The wrap acts as a support for the ligaments and tendons involved. This relieves some of the pressure and stress on the joints during the movements, allowing a person to not only perform a workout which would be impossible; but to perform that workout and a fairly high level.
AS AAS USERS WE CAN USE HGH, DECA, AND A FEW OF THE SARMS WHICH HAVE HEALING EFFECTS ON TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS!
Once again, diet and supplementation is crucial to healing joint tendon in ligament damage. Lots of vitamin C, and a very good formula containing both Glucosamine and Condroitin have shown dramatic impact on this type of condition.
As you learn to overcome your injuries and work through them; the pattern of “toughing it out” becomes a very valuable lesson for winning at many other things in life.
Learning to keep going in the face of adversity, until we succeed, is something that has no price. Working through your pain, and observing that you conquered it and succeeded; demonstrates what you are capable of. It is something to be very proud!
Peace!
