Pain to Performance

Ethan was in a knee brace only 12 weeks ago with a torn meniscus

Today he hit a 15kg pb set of four on deadlifts

This is 93% of his current 1 rep max for 4 reps at a pretty hand rpe

We introduced squats and deadlifts as soon as the brace came off

The programming was about loading the tissues attached to the knee and hip within accessories and of course squat and deadlift

The rate of progression has really skyrocketed in the last few weeks.

The rate we progress each week is purely based on a combination of:

-His detailed check in video where he provides me with all the info of his previous weeks nutrition, sleep, stress, general recovery and how each training session felt

-Analysing his uploaded training videos and notes he's made

-Looking at his nutrition logs and daily bodyweight

He has 10 training weeks until he competes at the ABS Pro series in Div 1 alongside two of my other athletes. I have 3 athletes in that 10 man flight in August

I'm fortunate to have the skills and knowledge of nutrition, pain and injury rehabilitation as well as coaching.

It's a fantastic combination in situations like these where I can prep an athlete to be stronger than ever despite an injury or pain experience along the way

It's quicker than going to someone who hasn't a clue about programming or exercise selection outside of their rehab text book

It also saves a fortune on 3rd party physio appointments or paying separately for nutrition when it's all included in my coaching fee

How's training going with your pain or injury?

Have you a skilled enough team around you to keep you training and moving forward?
