Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Blew my tricep. I was injured for 2 - 3 weeks. I fed it as much protein as I could handle and I babied it for a week then slowly started to use it again until pain ceased. Then I was back to normal.
