Injuries
No matter how much preparation, foam rolling, and proper movement patterns you apply, if you are consistently training hard, your chances of getting injured at some point during your fitness career are high. In a 2017 study by Stronger by Science, roughly ⅔ of all men polled had suffered at least one acute injury in their lifting career, while ½ of all women suffered an acute injury during theirs. If you do get injured make sure and seek the appropriate medical attention, adjust your goals, continue to train around your injury, and seek the emotional support of members of your gym and the CAL community.
