all my shit hurts workout

My neck is fucked. I dont know what i did or did not do, but my neck is locked up to the point where I need muscle relaxers. Learning from my past, im moving as much as I can. My biggest failure when injured was a lack of creativity and movement. Shit took way longer to heal than it should have because I was focused on what was not possible, or pushing movements that made the healing prolonged.

when I moved into my current house, I bought my first home gym equipment - a single 20kg kettlebell. I looked ar this weight with contempt. This is good for swings and nothing else. A few years later, im excited at the prospect of getting full ass to grass clean reps with this weight. How things change! If past me had focused on everything that was possible with this weight instead of seeing it as an obstacle to be overcome, what a wild future I could be living. The equipment is always secondary.

Neck injuries are brutal because they shut down everything! Well, almost everything. You know what is still in scope? Hip mobility, Hip flexor strength, rope flow. This means low cardio, abdominal strength, and general health on everything. Returning to normal workouts will be a matter of practice.
