T-Mag: TC Louma tore his pectoral muscle (with images):

"If you bodybuilders or other athletes need a reminder of why doing 1RMs isn't all that important — something to temporarily tether your ego to Terra Firma — take one of your girlfriend's pictures out of your wallet and replace it with the picture of my MRI scan.

Then look at it before you decide to go to the gym. Maybe it'll remind you of what your goals are, and how doing 1RM lifts doesn't necessarily fit into the picture."

But there may be distinct differences in how such "stress-induced analgesia'' operates in men and women, new research shows."

Healthy.net: Obesity and How It Contributes to Back Pain:

"Does Donald's back hurt because he is overweight, or does it hurt because he is so deconditioned that he cannot perform the exercises and body-mechanics positions that would protect his back and reduce the stress?

Does obesity by itself cause back pain? The experts say no. However, they have concluded that a person who is overweight is unable to recover from a bout of back pain as quickly as someone who is in fairly good physical condition."

Oddly enough however, this topic is not covered very often in most bodybuilding/fitness magazines.

Journal Sentinel: Most injuries are no accident: 28 januari

"People too often view injuries as accidents - bad luck, fate, random events over which humans have no control. Public health experts, however, want the public to realize that most accidents don't just happen. Listen to U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher:

"The science of injury shows that the causes of drowning, fires, motor vehicle crashes, falls, poisoning and violence are often predictable and preventable. Overcoming fatalism and believing that we live in a cause-and-effect-world are vital for injury prevention."

"Jan Heintze er en mand, der nu burde lide af muskelproblemer og fibersprængninger på grund af det fænomen, vi kalder gammelmands-fibre, men han er stort set aldrig skadet, siger Eskild Bram Chrestensen. Han forklarer det ved, at Jan Heintzes muskelfibre har en struktur, som gør, at han åbenbart kan blive ved uden, at kroppen mærkes af det. En struktur, som mange talenter sikkert misunder Jan Heintze.

Mange unge og talentfulde spillere når slet ikke at komme på landsholdsniveau, fordi deres muskler ikke er egnede til det. De falder fra langt tidligere på grund af skader, og fordi klubberne helst ikke skriver kontrakter med spillere, som har hyppige muskelskader, siger Eskild Bram Chrestensen."
