I injured my back doing a pullup on March the 1st. I was very motivated and started my workout at quite literally a break neck pace. 5 minutes after starting, I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade. I dropped from the bar immediately and gave it a brief rest. I then moved to the next exercise and did a few handstand pushups. Bad idea. The pain quickly spread through my back, up and down my spine and into the base of my neck. I had to lay on ice packs all day to no avail. I can hardly turn my head. It is very frustrating to be injured. Especially when I am making such huge progress. Now I am sitting on the sidelines for a few days and wait this problem out. I did a leg workout yesterday but it might have made it worse. My plan today is to lay low and hope some of the movement returns to my neck.
What I have learned from this?
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS warm up easy and start the workout slow before going Chuck Norris on the intensity.
Have a great one,
Bradley
