It's only a matter of time until you get hurt, telling you from experience. Doesn't even matter if you lift "properly".

I used to work out 6 times a week and was going through a cut while making gains then I strained a tendon in my forearm. Kept working out on it and now I've been out of the gym since October 2016.

also

A: chest, tris, shoulders
B: back, bis
C: legs, core

lifts:

Bench: 205lbs x 5
Squat: 225 x 5
Deadlift: 265 x 5
Pullups: weighted 50lbs x 5
OHP: 135 x 5

i feel like ever since my breakup when i stopped eating and my hormones probably crashed, i bounced back strong af (stronger than i was before) and im making mad gains idk its weird

Don't listen to this guy, just listen to your body. If you are feeling sluggish with your lifts take a day off and maybe even deload for 3 days of the workout (I'm assuming you're doing a PPL).

i felt like i SLIGHTLY strained a thumb tendon/ligament while hitting my PR of 135 OHP. i listened to my body and called it quits for that workout and took a few days break. that was a few weeks ago and it feels fine now desu.

so should i just listen to my body and ill be fine? or should i force myself to do ABCx with NO rest day skips?

i do feel sluggish every once in a while and ill force myself to take a rest day. actually recently, i was having a lot of muscle soreness in my arms (i think it was because i skipped a rest day and went rock climbing instead lmao)

that was about a week ago and i think i forced myself to take a rest day and im fine now again.

also i stopped taking creatine before my cut (i was bulking before) so i think its lulzy that i somehow keep gaining strength (although slow)

i also made insane strength gains within the past 5 months. i went from 145 bench to 205 for example

these are all me (OP) btw sorry not trying to bump a lot or anything

When I went to therapy a lot of people there told me they usually didn't even show a sign/symptom right before they got hurt. It just kind of happens.

During this time, I'm not sure if it was a universal sign or what but a lot of people told me to start taking it slow from now on and i was watching a youtube video online somewhere where a bodybuilder gave advice on taking a month to two months off if it's a slight strain or whatever so that you don't make it worse. He was mentioning how your body's muscle memory brings you back to where you were anyways.

I was finishing up therapy during this time and my arm was getting better, so I started hitting the gym again and sure enough I started making my gains back in 2-3 weeks but I also ended up hurting my arm again.

I have a friend who tore his pec during decline out of no where, he wasn't even struggling with the weight.

And I also have a friend who is natty strong af can rep 310 14 times 285 23 times and only weighs 220. He hurt his chest once not a tear probably a strain but he took two months off without a doubt and I think back to that day and realize I should've done the same.

wow thats pretty scary especially since there are no warning signs.

tomorrow is chest day so now im contemplating taking a rest day especially since i try to add weight every workout (5lbs)

thank you for sharing
