So my injury went from a misdiagnosed ab strain to a double inguinal hernia. Good ole' 90s sports docs of a 4A school for ya!Were you doing hundreds or thousands of sit-ups each weak? Working core drills with medicine balls and trainers?
I know first hand how seriously the core exercises are taken by our training staff because, well, I've been through them. Granted it was several years ago but I'm told that little has changed. That 12 pound medical ball still fvcking sucks.
It just seems REALLY odd to me that he strains an abdominal muscle this early in the season. I mean, if this were the break between regular season and the bowl game-- meh-- I could see that--- MAYBE--- but coming right out of summer camp- followed by 3 months of summer workouts where you do core every day.... to the point where you start taking 4 sh!ts a day so you don't have to take 2 huge ones that need to be pushed out with any force.....
..... just seems odd.
And yes at 18 I wanted to be drafted into MLB or go BUDs applicant lol. So I was training like a mofo and stayed in the pool too. I did everything you could do to earn the injury, not resting properly, those Hollywood upside down sit ups, running around with logs and shit...
And truthfully I could still spin it in the 80s with control w the injury in the spring. Didn't have it fixed until my mid 20s. Got tired of looking at the family jewels and seeing a weird ass hump.
