Gumby hurts hamstring

[Smyth94]

Wasn't it reported as a strain and not a tear?

Heavier the upper body the more load placed upon it, I would of thought?

i agree - simple physics tells you that more load/weight for the legs to carry is going to stress the muscles more. a few blokes spring to mind here - david calthorpe , mcphee and matthew lloyd - they all built up a lot of upper body thru weights in various pre-seasons and resulted in leg injury problems. mcphee is training to be slimmer - likewise courtney johns at the moment.

Good one chicken little, the sky is falling , the sky is falling.
So what he has had a couple of hammy injuries. So have a number of players who have got over them. Way too early to be complaining just yet.

a strain is a tear, except its only a small one

 

[Hollow Knight]

Wouldn't be worried.

This is par for the course with young KPP kids.

Their bones have grown faster than their muscles, once their body matures, the problems settle down.

Well I'd rather him do a hammy now then during the season proper...

I can't believe the over-reaction in some quarters over a hamstring strain. Unreal. It's a physical game, it happens - and it's in the off-season. It's no big deal

Some quarters = 1 poster.

I just wish people would stop quoting him!

Your right a strain is a tear, but not necessarily a small one. Strains are graded between grades 1-3 depending on the % of muscle fibres that are torn. Ie- grade 1 strain = <50% of muscle fibres are torn.

Pulled his hamstring today.

Shit! Hope it doesnt hold him back to much in his pre season. Know how important these pre seasons are especially for kids.

a spell on the sidelines at this time of the year might be a good thing.

gumby might want to revise his run up shane watson said his hammy is feeling better since he focused on placing his feet under his body opposed to way in front.

Could be a knights pet project???
