Got tweaked in the gym....cable snapped while I was doing 260 pound close grip pulldowns. Sent me flying backwards. Just stiff and sore right now, we shall see what the evening brings.

I hope you are ok...

Rest day for the next 3 days, it might be like whiplash if the movement was sudden as I pictured it...

I actually have 5 days off from the gym coming as I am leaving foir vacation, so that part worked out well, Gerry.

It was pretty sudden/violent, you are probably picturing it correctly.

BigFrank · 02-15-2009, 06:08 PM

Sounds painful. I would have probably flipped out after something like that.

That's my plan....and one more good workout if I feel OK in the A.M., Dave.

Congrats on the gains, Dokk!

I am actually a bit more sore than yesterday, but I don't think it is anything major. I think my gym should give me 6 months free....I won't ask for it however, but if they offer.....

Seriously ... they should. If my cable broke, I'd fly back into the indoor track. I'd be so mad.

Here's hoping that they offer.

Wow! It's a good thing you didn't have your finger in there.
Seriously, glad you're okay. Stuff like that can get you hurt pretty good.

One of the cables broke a few weeks ago on the crossover wire machine at my gym.
They replaced all the cables with new on every machine that had them.

Corporate left a message for me this morning, waiting to hear back from them.

Thanks Pete. They fixed the cable today, and used Locktite on the bolt. I told them they need to put Locktite on all the cables, not just the ones they are fixing. If they don't, and I have a different cable snap, I just might take an ambulance ride.

icehog3 · 02-16-2009, 02:26 PM

Just got off the phone with Corporate. Told them to use Locktite on all the cables, that I wasn't hurt too bad, and that I appreciated their concern.

The wonderful lady gave me 3 free months without me asking for anything.

BigFrank · 02-16-2009, 02:38 PM

Nice Tom! 6 Free months! Spend that hard earned money on some CC's!!!
