Oh No, Injury!

Okay so today when doing something new for the first time, I smashed my right, ring finger with the weights. It's a realatively minor injury, but was enough to break me down mentally and negatively impact my workout. Although I had a decent workout, I did not perform at my normal level. So, I can only imagine how major injuries can negatively impact ones process in getting fit. There are so many things that go through your mind when you get hurt, with my biggest worry of how this will impact my heavy lifting? My deadlift! I can't live without my deadlifts! Fortunately my smashes finger will heal in a day or two. Other injuries, such as back and shoulder injuries can take months. 

The moral and challenge for today's post is to be careful! Use proper form and technique at all times. When your form is compromised, take off some weight. Don't risk injury!
