Anyway, the point is that it got me thinking about injuries that bodybuilders (pros, amateur, even just gym rats) have suffered over the years.

Surely you haven’t forgotten Steve Michalik.
Won his class at the '75 Mr Universe, was talked about as being a contender for the Olympia, then had a major car accident. Wheelchair-bound for three years, rehabbed until coming back to some shows in 1980 - Placed 4th at the Miami Grand Prix and 6th at the Night of Champions.
