I've never injured myself training. My injuries always come from doing something I would consider stupid in hindsight. My last long-lasting injury happened while I was vacuuming. I made the mistake of trying to pick up the vacuum cleaner with my arms extended. Way too much pressure for my upper back I guess and I was out of action for about 3-4 months.
Another typical way I injure myself is moving shit around, particularly heavy training equipment. So yeah, I hurt my lower back last weekend from loading and unloading the car one too many times for bootcamp and another class I taught at my friends martial arts school. I believe it is the combination of extending my arms with heavy weights and twisting into unorthodox positions that is fucking me up.
So I'm just a little bit injured. Not too much but enough to know I have to pull back at least a little. Lucky for me I am only in the 2nd week of a 4 week training program. If you've paid attention to my blog you know I train 3 weeks forward, 1 week back when it comes to volume and intensity. Last week I went very light and this week I plan on adding only a little volume and weight. No videos today but here's the routine:
5 minute warmup
Kettlebell Hi-Pulls - 5 sets on the 2nd minute and 5 sets on the minute. I did the same rep scheme and weights for each 5 set round. 16 kg, 18, 24, 24, 24 kg bell.
Kettlebell Getups - 4 total rounds each side using the 16, 18, 24, 24 kg bell.
I barely noticed my little back problem while training.
