Imagining a grade 1 strain + working out with grade 1 strain = "doing dumb shit I dont need to be doin"

jk

Give it some more time, because a grade 1 can turn into a 2 or 3 pretty quick if you don't recover enough.

If you want to know for sure you would have to go to a doctor, I do however agree that it is most likely a strain from the description. If it is a strain, your doctor is going to tell you exactly the same thing we told you: rest and avoid doing anything that agitates it. Strains are not a big deal and you can work around them.

Absolutely.

You misunderstood what I wrote in the sticky, btw. The purpose of that was to emphasis the importance of IMMEDIATE first aid. I meant if you hurt your arm, for instance, DURING a workout, you need to stop right away and begin first aid, immobilize the area, etc. To minimize further damage, bleeding, etc.

I didn't mean you could never work your legs if you had an upper body injury. It depends on what the injury is.

Same shyt happned to me. infact even yesterday i strained my arm, usually id wait 7-10 days beofr ehitting the gym. also in the mean times work on your core or lowerbody.

ONDraft · 03-14-2007, 10:34 PM

what do you suggest in terms of core- with not usin your arms?

EricT · 03-15-2007, 07:26 AM

ONDraft, you can do whatever doesn't hurt. You can do squats if the arm position doesn't hurt. Your body should lead you.

I agree with Eric and the others that you can still do some work without aggravating the arm injury such as legs. Good luck and heal up.
