From a few weeks ago when I was CURLING 135 for reps, I "dinged" a tendon in my forearm. Some would argue that I had no business curling that much weight and that's because those folks aren't ME. I brushed it off as I'm not warmed up enough and continued with the set/rep/weight that I had planned for the day.
Fast forward it to a ton of grip work and some other stuff to make it feel better and when I was on REP 99 of the 100 PULL UPS that I planned, I heard a nice "POP".
Now there was no INTENSE pain, but what pain isn't relative anyway?
I strapped in for one wussy rep and completed the 100
I kept the lifting strap on for the remainder of the workout so as not to aggravate it and low and behold...I DID!
How glorious is that? I love when my body registers it's discomfort. I know more about my forearms than I did in the past. I also can appreciate them much more as well.
Mind you this...I am not even being sarcastic right now. I am so jacked for the ability to STILL mess things up.
