Muscle Gain Forum

The hardest lesson I learned came after dealing with a minor shoulder injury. At first I tried to ignore it and kept training through the discomfort because I didn't want to lose progress. That only made recovery take longer. Once I finally listened to my body and focused on rehab exercises reducing the weight and improving my movement patterns things slowly started getting better. It reminded me that missing a couple of weeks to recover properly is much better than spending months dealing with a problem that could have been avoided. Since then I've respected recovery just as much as training.

Been through that with my shoulder too ego makes you push through it but rehab is what actually gets you back

Yaa bro its better to take a couple weeks easy than be forced out for months.
