Edit: as a man whose been married for 8 years and has two kids, I can safely say that lifting weights DOES NOT get me laid..
It's one of the reasons people start though, myself included.

The swimming injuries are mainly through diving in, not through swimming.
Please do not tell me any self-respecting man uses the ladder... I don't know if I could take it.

How would you take, getting changed in the disabled toilet and being helped into the pool?
That's what I was up against when I was 18.
It's possible to do, you can make BIG gains from going heavy every day. I was working my way through that type of thing but I got smacked with a horrible death bout of the flu. It stuck with me for nearly a month and the lady friend got it too, she got tonsilitis from it twice within a month.
It was AWFUL
, but had I continued on it my gains and current lifts would be pretty big. It takes a while to get in to it, and at first the DOMS are massive, but they soon ease off and then go completely, you will of course feel drained, but the ache and soreness from DOMS disappears. I've found talking about this sort of thing tends to rile people up, for some reason some people get upset by it and get very angry by the suggestion that you can train heavy every day.
I've started it back up again this week.

Wow, I don't think I've seen anyone talk out of their rear end as much as you are in this thread. I'm truly embarrassed for you.
Training with heavy weights is one of the best things you can do with/for your body.
The problem is that there are loads of people who have no idea what they're doing and injure themselves because of that. People who have awful form and just want to look like a "big man" so much that the only way they can lift a weight that makes them feed adequate is with such bad form that they are only ensuring painful and long term damage.

The only real and sensible advice being offered here is for the OP to get himself checked out.
The funniest thing about this sort of comment is that you have absolutely no idea about my life. I'd been through more than most adults before I left school.
So do yourself a favour and stop making assumptions based on a person's age.

And you do yourself a favour and stop insulting me
You insulted yourself with those posts you made. What I said to you pales in comparison.
true, but on top of that there are people such as myself who know what they are doing and still make mistakes and injure themselves.
Then there are those in the gym that I have heard bragging that they have trained for ten years and never had a single injury. I then look at them and realise that they have never trained hard enough which is why they have never had an injury. Lol.SkodaMart

Ok, lol to summarise:
A back injury, can cause a panic attack.
Swimming and walking are the methods of exercise I now personally recommend to minimise the risk of injuries.
I suspect OP has had a panic attack, as I have suffered from them and it sounds exactly the same.
nothing more to say.
I thankyou!!

I'm not the one making claims that lifting heavy weights is a mug's game.
You've killed any claims of a valid opinion with that comment.

I hope that your weight training activities go well and you never suffer a back injury.
Because if you do, and even walking becomes difficult you may come to the same conclusion that I did
I have suffered a back injury. Lifting weights helped it immensely.
The problem did make walking difficult and uncomfortable.
Your conclusions are meaningless. You're essentially saying the equivalent of "I used to love cooking, I dropped a knife on my foot and cut my toe off, now I think cooking is for mugs".

Yeah so did I: A prolapsed disc. 3 months to get the strength back in my legs. When I trained upper body whilst injured my legs literally felt like they were on back-to -front with the pain. Damage was that intense I couldn't walk up one step without the right leg collapsing under my body weight.
Edit: 3 serious injuries in my weight lifting career.

It helped me immensely too, I was nearly crippled at 18, weights did help me recover.
All I am saying is be careful, I was deadlifting last year when I injured myself and I know it's crazy in hindsight.
You have had a previous back injury BE CAREFUL - nothing more to say.

Did weight training improve things for you? Or just time?
