How do you know you are getting old?

You sneeze and throw out your lower back! GRRRR!!!! No kidding, I did this on Monday. How ridiculous!

Also, I was benching 345lbs. a few weeks ago. On the down move, I went a little too deep and stretched a muscle in my right arm. Now whenever I bench press I can feel that stupid pain in my arm between my bicep and shoulder. GRRRRRR!!! I hate injuries and getting old!

My rant is not done.

:bang1: Nice! Hope your pains go away soon! I'm only 33 but occasionally I feel things I wouldn't have 5-10 years ago. I used to wonder why NFL Running Backs were done by 30-33...now I know!

I took it easy with weight this week and concentrated on high reps. Actually had a nice burn going on from doing minute long reps with short breaks in between sets. Might do that again next week to give that pain a chance to heal before lifting heavy again.

Still blows my mind that I threw my back out with a stinkin' sneeze! LOL!

You know by how many joints pop when you work out.

I strained a muscle in my neck sneezing one time... My right ear was basically pinned to my shoulder for two straight days!!!!

Funny thing is, I'm paranoid about sneezing now. LOL!

Back is better. Now if this pain in my arm would go away!

how about picking up your towel and crunch there goes the back. How humbling - my towel ways less than a lb

or kneeling and standing up and dislocating your knee cap, not once but twice

or turning on the interior light in the car and dislocating a shoulder.

i need to not to move any more

I have pulled muscles in my back by sneezing a few times in my life ...
the first time it happened, I think I was 16 ... I couldn't believe it.
I had legitimately pulled a muscle by sneezing, and had a debilitating
back pain for weeks because of it. Mad

Super lame

Ult ... would you say I am ... old??? tongue

Actually, when I was in my 20s I sneezed and pulled a muscle in my chest. It's not really an "old" thing, but it was funny at the time since I just hit 40 recently.

I've never pulled it, but I get a cramp in that muscle sometimes while yawning. It sucks because there's little you can do about it.
