I disagree. Soccer is not anywhere close to the limits of human body, yet even people who play it every now and again, have injuries. All sports have, it is not the fact that you go close to your maxes, that will injure you.
@@CharlesOffdensen You must be an American; in football ("soccer") if you play near the forward and back wings you're MAX sprinting at least 15+ times, not to mention tracking opposing forwards if you're a defensive full-back and jogging when you're off the ball. It's HIIT cardio with light cardio for "rest." There's at the most around 15 minutes of actual play in a full American football game. You rest every 5-10 seconds, sometimes as long as 7 commercials. The cardiovascular demands of football is way higher than American football. Half the players on an American football team are classified as obese.
@@hyeongjinoh584 yes that could very well be the reality but make no mistake, laughing at such absurdity is a natural human reaction and do not confuse it with disrespect. However I also agree with your sentiment as well.
By sampling only current powerlifters and asking them if they have an injury you have mega survivorship bias. Ofc those still powerlifting have gotten over their injuries.
Could you describe what was the issue and what you did to fix it and how're feeling now, I'm asking this because I also sometimes get si Joint pain after lifting.
@@MrGamGamer stabbing pain just above my asscrack. Just did lots of abs, glute and abductor work. Also stretching the hip flexors and quads. I probably did it hyperextending my back doing squats or DL cause I had a bit of anterior pelvic tilt after spending the whole quarantine sitting down.
@R S stretching the wrong muscles can make it worse. I also lost hope after months of no improvement, just gotta try new things. What worked for me was reverse hyper extensions, lateral leg raises with the glute machine in my gym, and abs everyday. Also practice bracing a lot, just put on a belt and start trying to apply as much pressure against it with your breath. Do not try to do anything heavy until your posture, specially your hips are perfect. Anterior pelvic tilt was the real devil for me.
Funny that you mention the MattDoesFitness video because he and Mike Thurston actually ran 110 meters instead of 100 meters, so he probably would have ran 11.8 or so if they started from the correct spot, although I'm not sure if the timing was all that accurate to begin with.
I’m only 26 but I’ve learned to listen to my body and not meathead my way through a workout I’m in it for the long haul. Monday was supposed to be a heavy squat day I was warming up with 35% of my max and I just had a weird feeling about my knees like it didn’t hurt it just felt different so I switched to a box squat that kinda felt weird too so I decided to just do body weight squats for a total of 300. Got a great pump knees felt much better and I get to go at it again next week.
10 years into the sport and it's extremely rare not having at least some sort of injury/pain/issue/concern. IMO, figuring out how to manage it, fix it, and come back is part of the game....It's not purely about "Lifting weights". Though it's common sense, and you'll hear it all the time - It's honestly not worth pushing through and trying to ignore most injuries (Maybe if you're prepping for a comp)
Thank you! And no sir. Really doesn't drive me at all at this stage. Nationals got moved up to June, so rehab + squat and bench + late deadlift peak will likely be the order of events. No messing around until I total 1700. After that I have some unpredictable plans...
Would you have a version of the how to coach yourself video made, but with all the nuances? Doesn't matter if it ends up being 1 hour or 3 hours. It will definitely be helpful.
Good stuff. Those injuries you mention would probably happen to most with or without lifting. Lifting is just a big saver for making it back to life afterwards.
Well you are spot on I've had an ACL on my right knee And about 6 years ago my right tricep completely ripped Doing a 550 lb bench at the USPA nationals in Florida I stopped powerlifting after my tricep.
I always was amazed that at the start of a track and field season we'd have a full squad of sprinters. By championship time everyone would be dealing with something. Many would have quit. Some would be out for the season. I never understood how someone could squat 700-1000lbs and be hurt less than we were. Now I get it that they weren't hurt less, it's just what were they dealing with? If they can deal with it. They did. The lifts can still go up. Great video!
Had a back injury that made it close to impossible to bend over to pick something off the ground. 4 months later and I am hitting PR's with no back issues. Did the recovery, mobility work, and training suck during that 4 months, you bet your ass. But it was all necessary to make it back. Whatever you do don't stop going into the gym even with an injury. Do what you can and your return will happen much faster.
Hey Zach, inspiring to hear you bounce back after an injury. Did you notice any stretches or excersizes in particular that helped the most with the back pain during your rehab?
@@bartoszjagoda2877 Definitely! I took about one week off before returning to the gym. During that initial week I researched a ton on stretches (child's pose, sphinx, cat cow, etc.) I did those at least twice a day every day and continue to do so. Walking is HUGE. I found that glute and hamstring stretches helped out a lot as well for mitigating pain. Once the pain was manageable, I moved back into the gym and tested out what felt good and didn't for me. I ended up removing deadlifts entirely for the first few weeks and focused on lighter squats (form was my focus) and kept my bench status quo. Before I was injured, my squat was 435, bench 355, and conventional deadlift was 570. squat and bench are up for 1RM's and form is way better for my squats (highbar). I switched to sumo for deadlifts and hit 535 for a comfortable single with no pain a few weeks ago. currently in a second rotation of candito's 6 week program.
I think if you are trying to be a powerlifter and carry huge numbers you SHOULD do mobility work and tendon strengthening work so specific exercises for these and iso/slow eccentric work
I like to think of it this way: There's a fine line between actual perfection, and going "too far". Meaning there's a very small margin of error. For you to even hit anywhere close to the line means you're gonna have to go over at some point. Our body's fluctuate daily and so does life factors. Those factors fluctuate in very small imperceptible amounts. It's just simply impossible to determine if you can lift 705.01lbs today or 705.09lbs. And even if it was possible for you to know, you wouldn't be able to apply such minute changes in loading and volume anyways. And even if you could, there are still external factors that can occur before or after the training/meet that can tip you over the line. So yes obviously anything where you push your body as close to it's limits as possible has an inate risk to it, but that's not specifically powerlifting. That's just life in general. Even more so, that's life for people who want to be competitive. There's no working around it. We can't control nor even detect the small factors that can cause injuries so it's just going to happen even if you have "perfect" planning because you can't see the future nor are you omniscient. If one is really worried about injuries the answer isn't to just not do powerlifting. The answer is to not go as hard as the elite. Go 90% instead of 100. You'll have a lot more wiggle room for errors, and you'll still be in *wayyyy* better shape than the average person who doesn't lift. Any injuries you get *from lifting specifically* will likely be minor and the easy to recover from.
From a physical therapy standpoint- we put our bodies through so much stress that I’d say it is inevitable. There is always some weak point in our movements and eventually something will happen. Should you be getting injured yearly? Heck no. Is it important to maintain your mobility and enhance the stability of your joints, incredibly. Even though injuries may be inevitable, it doesn’t mean it has to happen all the time.
Coming from an evidence-based Chiro program background and fellow PL and coach, I can tell you that you’ll almost always heal. The more aggressive and the more CONFIDENT you are in your rehab, the faster you’ll recover and better you’ll be able to stave off recurrences. Pain is in the brain, gotta play the mental game to win
high frequency (assuming they're doing the comp lifts frequent) + high intensity programs are very effective, but however the likelihood of injury is higher. the frequent high loads (+ accruing fatigue).. gets people hurt. the way modern day usapl/ipf powerlifters train, they tend to get hurt a lot because of the demanding (high frequency/intensity) programs given to them. people can try using variations (to reduce load) to keep up the frequency. anyways whats been working for me is doing bench twice a week (normal grip and close grip the other day), deadlifts once a week, and squats once a week... slow gains, but long gains.
That nerve injury is probably the worst. Especially mentally. Had a pinched nerve that weakened my left leg for like a month. Leg felt fine just very minimal muscle activation during heavier sets. Would much rather tweak something than go through that again.
as a frame of reference to the 10.5 question: Ato Boldon (an olympian sprinter) predicted that DK Metcalf was a 10.4 guy and Budda Baker (4.46s 40) was a 10.6 guy
That last answer was really great. Maybe it's because I'm a weak piece of shit, but I never fully realized how constraining of a factor time is for elite level PLs.
To the point about stronger lifters getting hurt more regardless of other factors, it’s the same in other sports too. I played soccer competitively growing up, and the further you make it, the more injuries there are. Players are stronger, quicker, and the game itself faster, causing more injuries.
Me: panicking about walking into my gym with my USA hoodie and chicken little haircut. Jonnie: posts a whole video vibing in the same outfit. I need that confidence
I think (just my opinion ok) that calisthenics is an under appreciated training routine that can strengthen the tendons and in some cases acts almost as a shield against injury during powerlifting
It depends on how you define an injury. Every powerlifter is gonna have aches, pains, inflammation, etc. But not everybody is gonna have a catastrophic injury. Look at Matt Wenning and Dave Hoff. Both have competed in the highest levels the sport has to offer and neither have had a serious injury. I’m sure you could find more examples
I can't climb anymore because it stretches out my back muscles too much and I've been doing rehab FOR YEARS to get it better. I still do like 50 pushups with serratus extension everyday. Everything is dangerous if you go hard.
What exactly meets the definition of an injury for you? Does that account for most brain, thus (possibly chronic) pain related issues? Because if we take Neuroscience into account, I think there's room for an argument to be made, that back problems etc., must not really be injuries perse, because there's not necessarily structural degeneration at place. And even if it is, there seems to be weak correlation at best between the two. My point being: If your brain simply sends out faulty pain messaging, triggered by a weird movement, a simply a short moment of uncontrolled overload or simply accumulated overload over time.. is that an injury already, because it sort of throws you back in your timeline (a good point that you were mentioning, that I ultimately agree with)? (... obviously if you shatter your knee during a 1000 lbs wrapped squat and need knee replacement, I'd consider that an injury 😂) Should we use the term "injury" as a general sense to determine time spend off from Training (or with lowered capabilities to go hard)? I think asking that question is important because it deeply impacts the self evaluation of trainees and how long they even have to deal with issues in the first place. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻 OG follower from the early beginnings 😄
Now let's do a study of geared vs ungeared lifters, how much do ya wanna bet geared have higher injury rates as muscle strength increases beyond joint and ligament strength? Basically what ails strongman.
I would be really interested in your recommendations on what to program as a powerlifter when all you have access to is outdoor gym bars and running for conditioning (during quarantine)
Funny enough, I skateboarded for about 15 years (still do every now and then) and never had an “injury” other than a pulled muscle(I took some slams that would have me out for a few days and rolled ankles here and there but those are so acute I don’t count it) and with powerlifting in the passes 6 years I’ve had one injury that required surgery and tendinitis twice to the point of having to actually take long periods off of lifts
I think the real question is if you're going to push to your absolute max or not. I've been training for about 10 years now, and never had a significant injury. I've had indications that I was close, and I think if you respect those indications and back off, you'll probably be ok. But what happens when you have a competition around the corner? For me this is just a hobby that's completely independent from my career, so the answer is always obvious; back off for a while and get better.
Hi Candito. I'm starting powerlifting when the lockdown ends. But I'm not on social media. Will my personal records actually exist when they're not on social media? Thanks.
The idea that injury isn’t inevitable in every sport is ridiculous at this point. When attempting to make progress to be among one of the best in your sport the odds that you don’t encounter an injury from playing your sport has to be slim to none. Even golfers get hurt lol
I injured my hip deadlifting a month ago and it's still bothering me even when lifting really light. I was doing warm ups and I lost my balance and went too far forward and then it felt like my leg bone popped out of my hip socket and then popped itself back in. It felt like bone on bone. Have you ever heard of an injury like this? I was only lifting 315, and I can lift 405. I've been trying to still lift but at much lighter weights because I thought I would heal better being active than just resting it until it healed up. I'm mostly just in pain when I lift.

people have health problems even without any sports, joints, back, nerves and so on...
I would be really interested in your recommendations on what to program as a powerlifter when all you have access to is outdoor gym bars and running for conditioning (during quarantine)
Yessir new video!
Funny enough, I skateboarded for about 15 years (still do every now and then) and never had an “injury” other than a pulled muscle(I took some slams that would have me out for a few days and rolled ankles here and there but those are so acute I don’t count it) and with powerlifting in the passes 6 years I’ve had one injury that required surgery and tendinitis twice to the point of having to actually take long periods off of lifts
Jason Manenkoff was fast as well too, not too sure how fast but I remember him being a sprinter
Yes.
I think the real question is if you're going to push to your absolute max or not. I've been training for about 10 years now, and never had a significant injury. I've had indications that I was close, and I think if you respect those indications and back off, you'll probably be ok. But what happens when you have a competition around the corner?
For me this is just a hobby that's completely independent from my career, so the answer is always obvious; back off for a while and get better.
Hi Candito. I'm starting powerlifting when the lockdown ends. But I'm not on social media. Will my personal records actually exist when they're not on social media? Thanks.
Only if you tell everyone at the gym what your best lifts were once you're past your prime
I like that coaching video keep it up
Candido is #1 in our hearts
Mattdoesfitness is natural that’s funny 😂
Glad someone else said it. To think he's natural is borderline delusional surely? 🙈
Powerlifting while natural won´t serioulsy injure you.
Maxing out powerlifting while on PED´s will completly destroy you.
The idea that injury isn’t inevitable in every sport is ridiculous at this point. When attempting to make progress to be among one of the best in your sport the odds that you don’t encounter an injury from playing your sport has to be slim to none. Even golfers get hurt lol
"0.3 injuries per year" I've had 2, maybe 3 injuries this year
slow down lol

I injured my hip deadlifting a month ago and it's still bothering me even when lifting really light. I was doing warm ups and I lost my balance and went too far forward and then it felt like my leg bone popped out of my hip socket and then popped itself back in. It felt like bone on bone. Have you ever heard of an injury like this? I was only lifting 315, and I can lift 405. I've been trying to still lift but at much lighter weights because I thought I would heal better being active than just resting it until it healed up. I'm mostly just in pain when I lift.
yes, the intros are back
