If you have been injured lately you will know how massively frustrating it can be! Fortunately, here is a good article from the guys at Precision Nutrition on how to deal with it, and not to ignore what seems to be a little niggle!
How to get in great shape, even after an injury
For most guys, an injury means skipping the gym for months at a time. Sometimes, they retire their workout clothes for good.
But here’s the good news: there’s always a way to work around an injury and build the body you want. This post will show you how.

When I hit the loose gravel, I knew I was in trouble.
That’s when I did the very thing you’re not supposed to do during a motorcycle skid: I put my left foot down.
The good news is that the bike didn’t drop; I made it through the roundabout on two wheels.
The bad news is that knee ligaments, even strong ones like mine, aren’t meant to withstand massive torque.
Screw it! What’s a little knee pain?
I knew something felt weird and a little “off”, but there wasn’t much pain. It might have been the distraction of trying to keep the bike upright. Or maybe the fight or flight hormones kicking in.
But since I was on my way to the gym when it happened, I didn’t think twice about it.
