Here is a warning to you all. Never let your focus falter.

I was picking up a 16k bell yesterday morning and was not in the correct lifting position. I felt a little twinge but thought nothing of it.

This morning I am in agony. My left butt cheek feels like someone is sticking a knife in it. I cannot even touch my knees, never mind my toes.

I am visiting the osteopath tomorrow, getting the maximum dose of pain killers and applying the ice packs. My training is obviously on hold. I have a really busy 2 weeks of golf tournaments starting thursday and I could really do without this.

All, treat your training with the respect it deserves, stay focused and avoid injury!

Very sorry to hear of that Andy

Very sorry to hear about your condition Andy - heal fast buddy! Pretty scary how the injury only makes itself known after a night's sleep. Keep us updated with your recovery and look after that body - you only get one.

The little things...

always trip up the mightiest of men.

Get yourself back up and running, there's a 32kg waiting to be tamed.

ICE the be jesus out of the

ICE the be jesus out of the area, it may be only muscle spasm hard to tell without looking at it, if it is nerve you will get radiating pains down the leg It may simply be a locked joint in your back which will responde well to treatment quite quickly, if you need anything email. .I run an independant sports injury clinic in Stourbridge West Midlands. I like to treat back and neck problems.  Have a good un, Cheers Spud

Thanks guys

Thanks for the support guys. It is much appreciated. I've been to my trusted osteopath and currently feel much better - although I don't know how I will feel in the morning as the session was pretty brutal. I have to have a few more day of rest, alternating ice and heat treatments, then I will start the rehab exercises he has given me, focusing on the glutes, hams and hip flexors. It will be several days before I can even begin to think about training with the kb's, but rushing back would be stupid.

Just as the new bell has arrived!!
