Rib injuries

Back in my days, we didn't wear cups.
If you got hit in the nuts, you gutted it out.

Sounds like you guys were pretty intelligent.

Haha! That was a Bob Uecker joke on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
He was a baseball catcher.

I'm not a sexy guy. I went to a hooker. I dropped my pants. She dropped her price.

There's no shame in using a body protector. Don't listen to these dopes. I bruised my rib twice on the same spot and it took 3 weeks each time to fully heal, so I bought one of those shirt protectors designed for baseball catchers. Better to protect your body than to be out of the gym for weeks.

I bought this one because for me because the padding on this one in particular covers the spot that I injured twice - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

part of the sport is just accepting the fact that **** can just happen. There's a womans march going on some where. Maybe should attend and wear your catchers bull****. Or maybe you can bring your elbows in and quit flappin' around the ring like a chicken. Either you let it heal and go back or you don't. Point blank: **** happens. ..…….Rockin'

I got hit with a right hook to the body last October in Peru on my short rib with my left jab extended. It was towards the end of our spar. It felt different a bit and I noticed it afterwards big time. I was just trying to help the kid learn, he was early 20s. It didn't paralyze me, but I felt it. Afterwards, I thought it was just a sore spot from a body shot - the next morning I noticed a little pain if I moved a certain way, etc. I was like damn now it's going to hurt to just go lift weights. I believe it was broken or fractured, I recommend sparring again in two weeks to 1 Month depending on how bad the fracture/break is, take 5000iu d3 daily, glucosamine, msm, l citrulline (1g),incorporate healthy plant based meals into your diet, buy green lipped mussel powder - it helped my foot fracture heal. Bedtime, 1200calcium 1000magnesium.

Last week, I spent about 20 minutes standing on my head in my truck passenger seat area ( the fuse box is under an upper passenger kick panel and I had to pull every fuse almost. ) figuring out a trailer tow issue, the next morning and for the next few days it was sore a bit where I took that shot! Was no big deal, but it amazed me that I felt it again. This is 8 -9months afterwards.

Thinking about it, Big George would always throw a downward arcing right hook to the body, to the exact spot I got hit at. That is a good punch to add to any arsenal, but to throw it the way George did you need to have a tire with hammer, or wood chopping in your training. He came wide with the downward chop motion.
