I just had 4 hernia's repaired a few months back...I'm on week 2 back to the gym aaaaand I have another one that popped out while doing rows today. Thank God for good insurance otherwise I'd be fucked. One guy can be like me, lift heavy asf, College ball, and gear for 17yrs with zero issues, and boom 6 surgeries in 3 yrs. The next guy plays ball 2 yrs in College and is done with a serious injury.

Sometimes our body predicates what we can and can't do.

But for the sake of this thread absolutely strict form is paramount to staying injury free. Abso'fucking'lutely.
For me its shoulder injuries. I've had 3 on my left and 2 on my right and just tore my right rotator cuff again a few weeks ago. Had an mri and my doctor said its only a 15-20% tear so thankfully no surgery but another set back. Sucks getting old
