Im lucky (I guess) in that I've never had any serious injuries like tears since I started training. I think alot of that is due to not being real strong genetically and gaining slowly even when on cycle.

So what injuries have you guys gotten from bodybuilding over the years? Let's see who has the worst one.
 
I've never suffered any injuries from bodybuilding, but I did from powerlifting. I have had problems with my rotator cuffs, but it was work related and not from lifting. I mean tendonitis in both elbows and little stuff like that, but I think that comes from lifting in general
 
torn back muscles lower back in 9th grade from dumb fucking standing shoulder press that has no reason to exsist just sit and do it! torn tricep tendon, and also currently f'ed up ligament on my left wrist....fun times

Sounds like you've really had a fun time lifting
 
None from lifting that was worth boasting about, but the lifestyle got me some gyno, with some crazy scars. Meh, I'll wear them these with pride.
 
I have pinched cartilage in my neck, and I have had an AC separation in my left shoulder and misc tendinitis. Nothing major knock on wood.

You made my bicep rupture possible :-)
I've never had anything serious while lifting. They all happened doing other stuff. Fights, lifting motors, fighting...

That didnt happen in the gym, it happend from moving a complete iron block V8 motor that weighed about 750 lbs from out of the back of your truck. I was good. Not sure what happend on your end but the "pop" was loud.
 
My shoulders have always been really strong, so when I was into it hard in my mid 20's. I could military press 365 for reps. That obviously casued damage to my shoulers. I had one that had the scar tissue removed and have the pics before and after, inside the shoulder. The other shoulder needs surgery but i cant put myself through it again, so I grin and bear the pain
 
I have had a tore left quad(was out for three months), tore both pecs twice, strained forearms for months, muscle knots in my back.
 
chronic bicep tendonitis (which hinders bicep growth), and just got a new shoulder injury doing seated military presses with 225.... It sucks cuz both injuries are on the same damn arm, which makes it really hard to work around
 
I had a strain in my groin, back muscles strained, broke my pinky placing 80lbs dumbells back on the rack(dont ask), and had a cable burn on my chin doing tri-rope pushdowns. Some of them dumb but they all happened in the gym, That doesnt include slipping on the wet floor and almost breaking my ass in the locker room but pulling muscles or some shit.
 
I need surgery for knee replacements, which im putting off long as humanly possible, and I have also collapsed a lung 13 years ago while doing dumbell incline flys, and was in hospital for a while with a chest tube which was extremely painful.
 
alright bro you win..lol Fuck that! Maybe i dont work out hard enough i need more gym battle scars..lmao My buddy got a compound fracture on his forearm in the gym on the cable machine..dont know how it happened he passed away a few years ago.
