I'm really proud of myself, I've been keeping up my fitness and strength straining and I've gone from over 15 stone, to just over 13 stone while losing a lot of upper fat. However the winter blues and old age sucks *** The two days I have as rest days, and my back decides to go and I can't turn my neck :rolleyes:

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :(

That is just life. :D

I have not had that many injuries from the gym, but my most painful stuff has been from just leaning over or whatever...
 
I've managed to do my neck in while sleeping more than once. To the point I couldn't turn it to reverse the car. Maybe I need a better pillow but it never used to happen in my younger days. Well done on losing 2 stone though.
 
Something I find kind of relevant to this thread - if you do much driving it can be amazing how much difference your seating position and posture can make - for a long time I hadn't made the connection with getting a stiff left shoulder and resulting dull headaches and that I was leaning forwards slightly driving one vehicle.
 
Annoying isn't it. Motorcycle accident, mountain bike accidentS, battered on a football pitch etc.... no issues.
Pick up a toddler at a slightly strange angle - BAM
Stretch whilst opening a window - BAM
Do apparently nothing - BAM
 
It’s tough. I’m still strong, but it’s becoming tougher to keep lifting and adding weight. I can’t keep the intensity anywhere near where it used to be. Could easily manage 7-8 days in a row powerlifting in the gym, even up to mid 30s. Late 30s and I’m lucky if I can manage 3-4. Plenty of movements I just can’t do anymore either. Every few years another one has to be taken out of my routine.

Yes, I have noticed that drop-off [in my lifting]... it is quite something.
