Would love a rehab guide. Each time I've been "injured", I've learned more and more. The biggest thing that help me were programming changes and using variations to work around pain + get stronger in weak areas. For example, tempo pause squats when dealing with a hip impingement. Anything on that type of information would be awesome.
I think more important than the rehab guide, is a guide on how to approach training so that these injuries never happen in the first place (specifically the chronic overuse injuries like tendinopathies). I guess over time one learns their body and tolerance to volume/intensity/certain movement patterns well enough, but at least speaking for myself, sometimes stuff is going well and then out of nowhere some aches appear and it takes months to get rid of...
I don't know if you have done but a prevention video would be good. Discussing generally things like load/fatigue management, stretching / warmup for each lift (w/ common injury points), recovery techniques, and more.
Hey man, I've been struggling with an injury from low-bar squatting for almost 2 years now. I've seen a sport's medicine doctor and multiple physical therapists and I'm working with a powerlifting coach. The diagnosis is gluetus medius tendinopathy. Nothing I've tried including shockwave therapy, physical therapy, and load management has seemed to help. What do you recommend? Peptides? PRP? Exercises? I'm completely lost as to how to recover and its been a massive blow to my confidence and desired to train. Thanks! And welcome back 💪
Glad to hear you’re on the mend. I’ve had a hip impingement that presents as a pinch in the front or sometimes lower back pain for about 2 years now. It causes a shift (to face the left of mid line), my right foot to rotate out more and my right glute to be almost impossible to feel. It’s very minor in the grand scheme in terms of pain and day to day function but just enough to really halt progress on squat etc. I’ve dealt with it before yet the same methods don’t fix it this time, why might that be? And why has it been so chronic with several quality physios unable to fix it while being a relatively minor and common pathology?
Welcome back, David. I'd appreciate the rehab video! Been dealing with an elbow injury for almost 8 months now (golfer's elbow/triceps tendinopathy), still having minor pain during pressing movements/pull-ups. I'd be interested to know how you've dealt with your elbow problems. Thanks in advance
I'd also check Mike Ts podcasts on rehabbing his back (RTS and Iron culture podcasts), super general approach but I'm now fully healthy and back at 95% strength after a year and half of pec tendinopathy and no bench PRs. Starting at one set of benching and chilling there/progressing that for 7 weeks and then building on that one day for another block really helped me move forward. Tbf my pec was very sensitive to bench frequency.
Low bar also a big contributor to this for many. And getting a lot of your back work from non-aggravating movements should be helpful - with ofc pressing/tricep work being adjusted.
Hello, great stuff! Im dealing with a hip injury “ small rupture in the gluteus maximus close to the hip”. This has caused as well a trochanteric bursitis. Im able to train but feel quite some pain in the deep squat, anything above 220 kg. Trying to find a good recovery plan. Any tips would be highly appreciated.thanks!
Hello! I currently have a herniated disc in my L5 area. Im worried that my powerlifting days are over. Have you ever had this injury? What's it like to recover from long-term ? What are some strategies for maintaining size and strength in your legs? Will you have this injury forever?
You are certainly not done. I herniated 2 discs in 2017 from playing badminton. Now I’m powerlifting and am the strongest I have ever been. Look at barbell medicine’s content. Most herniated discs cause no pain. A lot of doctors have the pain science wrong and catastrophic a herniated disc saying how u need to keep your back straight and all that. That’s outdated information.
I have the same pain in my upper back. It’s been bugging me ever since I came outta the hospital last year (hospital trip was unrelated to the gym) I’ve been able to finally start training at my normal load around 2 months ago. But sometimes the pain still comes up. So whatever you do to help with that pain in ur back can you please let me know. For reference I squat around 260kg but I’ll have days where I can’t squat more than 180kg for two reps.

Looking forward to the rehab video(s). These SBD colorways are awesome, too.
Rehab exercises for wrist injury’s , got it from doing skull crushers with dumbbell , an I wasn’t wearing wrist wraps
That squat width is insane
Those SBD reflect Looks dope man 🔥. And Welcome Back man. 💪
He’s so back. Let’s goooo
loving the sick new colorway!

I really like the idea of not calling them "fatigued singles"
Sbd just makes me laugh but the baby blue is nice

Had a herniated disc several years ago. You'll get better. I'm back squatting and deadlifting more than I ever did before I got injured
What’s up with the 170 kgs set ????
What’s up whit the 170 kgs set???

And it’s also only when I squat, I can deadlift perfectly fine and bench fine
