lately i've been more prone to small scale aches and pains, significantly more than is associated with this type of training. i've also recently been doing less and less high intensity work, spending more time in the lab experimenting with new tools and a new direction. even worse, i've spent less time and focus on warming up and practicing consistency within the routine of injury prevention. last friday, against my original plans and better judgement, i jumped back into a scenario that promotes not only competition and high intensity but localized effort at or near failure. my downfall was that not only had i not been forcing my body to work to such extremes but i hadn't been doing one of the movements (pull ups) much at all. post workout a kink quickly surfaced and overnight manifested itself into a full blown disaster as removing myself from bed was an all out effort. the following hours and days saw surprisingly quick recovery from such an acute and painful episode. then, following a day of complete rest, i awoke tuesday morning in exponentially more pain and misery than the original onset. the most simple and requisite chores couldn't be completed and it was immediately apparent that i needed outside help to diagnose the problem. two matching opinions resulted in the same diagnosis of pulled muscles in the neck and upper back region along with high levels of inflammation. the prescription from both camps was patience, inactivity, and the healing power of over the counter anti inflammatory pain medication. so, i will wait, i will be patient, and i will endure... eventually prevailing. temporary setbacks give us time to consider the current course and occassionally the courage to take a closer look and see the situation for what it truly is, or should be. although a return to action date has yet to be set, permanent inactivity is out of the question. however, changes resulting in increased longevity and function are imminent and currently in the works.
