Let's start with the good news.
Milestone accomplished! 2/3 done!! hooya!
Bad news.
I have sprained my left upper arms.... On Day 55, I didn't do any warm up and did pull up. I had funny feeling at the time but I ignored it as it was just a minor feeling.. as days go by, especially when working on the upper body, the weird feeling starts to turn in to real pain. From yesterday I can't raise my shoulder and if I tilt my left arm in certain angle, I feel the pain. It's funny that I can't really pin point where the pain is coming from.. I can feel it inside the muscle. let me use this opportunity to test if I can explain in more muscle terminology... small area where deltoid, pectorals and biceps meet. hmm.. this area where I am feeling the pain, it seems like little to do with pull up motion but I am sure I felt something went wrong when I was doing pull up.. I could do shoulder work out in very controlled movement yesterday but today I CAN NOT do any push ups as I can't bend arms. I am struggling to reach out to my pull up bar now. this is what I can/can't
- dip -> no
- push-up -> no
- standing ovation -> no
- curl -> no
- outside curl -> no
- show off -> no
- pull up -> no
- inclined pull up -> may be
- rowing -> yes
- pull down -> no
- triceps dip -> no
- ski jumper -> yes
- triceps extension -> yes
I hate this feeling where I am loosing the opportunity to grow some muscle.. I know this is VERY dangerous feeling cas I once quit going gym when similar thing happened to me. You suddenly feel you are in the dead end and can't make any progress for a while and start to feel all the effort you have put into is washed down the toilet. I don't want to put me in this vicious cycle ever again.... any suggestion?
I think I will at least do all the exercise which I can (leg, triceps, abs)..
Well this sucks man. With good sleep and protein you should be back in the mix in a week. Ease back in slow, work around the injury, rock the legs!
