Additional Blog of September

What I have learned so far:
Well, about a month ago I injured myself in the gym trying to make some more gains. I had severe headaches for a week and I finally decided to head to the hospital. I took some CT scans of my brain and the doctors said they seen nothing wrong. They had me worried that I might have gotten an aneurysm in my head(swollen artery that can burst and bleed out) . The other explanation was that I sprained some muscles that are in the back of the head and can take weeks to heal. Today has been a month and I haven't been feeling any headaches. So I decided to go to the gym today and test out my head. I worked out twice today, 1 hour after school and another hour at about 5 pm. I was headache free! Hopefully it stays this way and with this experience I've learned what I had done wrong that injured me. It is very important where your head is angled while doing pull ups! What made it worse is that I like to hold my breath while exerting the weight which causes a spike in your blood pressure (which can be dangerous) but now that I learned the hard way, I'm back in business into making the stronger version of myself.
