injury prevention

I'm curious about people's favorite morning recharge and evening mobility routines/movements? These are separate from any main training sessions. In my mind both have some of the following goals: maintain mobility and flexibility preventative/prehab and corrective for lifestyle issues (i.e...

I've developed a nasty case of Tendonitis on the inside of my left elbow. What's worse, about five minutes research on this Forum was enough to make me realise it was entirely self-inflicted. I've been running the Swing Season Program these last few weeks. I thought I'd locked in my technique...

I would like to recommend a book since it complements and doesn't compete with the SF approach and people sometimes mention injuries on this forum. Rebuilding Milo: A Lifter's Guide to Fixing Common Injuries and Building a Strong Foundation for Enhancing Performance by Aaron Horschig (Author)...

The gym I train at won't open on weekends. The other ones in my area are either too expensive or too far away for my budget and schedule. Would it be safe for me to train five days in a row while being careful to take it very easy and not rushing the overload? Or should I de-load after a third...

Hi. Back in May 2021, I was practicing a flip turn in a back-yard swimming pool when something tore. That evening, the "sac" popped out and I had an inguinal hernia. Using a hernia belt, and after consulting with a doctor, and working with a StrongFirst personal trainer, I continued to train...

I’m currently in an airborne infantry unit looking to go to psy-op selection. It’s not the same level of intensity physically as SFAS , but still consist of a lot of rucking and some physical events. Our unit pt has been alright, but I feel as if I should be doing more on my own consider I...

Hello everyone! I was looking for some program advice. I’m a bow gunner in the military which means I stand on the front of our small boat with about 60 pounds of gear on. The majority of bow gunners that have come before me have lower back, knee and neck injuries from the impact that comes from...

Hey, folks! I need insights on the correct way to place my grip for the squat as my triceps/biceps (both arms) hurt when I go for a sub 75-80% or above squat. It's been an ongoing issue for some time now. I've had a couple of dozen PT sessions for the same but the pain resurfaces each time I...

Hi all, I've posted on here once before for a form check and it was very helpful. I have recently been trying to graduate to single arm swings with a 24kg bell. I felt like my two-arm swings were going well for a while. In the last week or two I have noticed tennis elbow starting to flare up...

I had a disappointing October this year. Had a surgery for a cyst (in my upper middle back) on the 10th. Was asked not to do any lifting for a couple of weeks. I didn't. But during those two weeks, I sort of aggravated my shoulder pain. My physio labeled it as a Grade 2 Rotator Cuff Tear. Not...

Happy Friday everyone! I have a recurring issue with my one arm push-up, that I wanted to share with you in hopes of some feedback. I have had biceps tendonitis off and on for years, to varying degrees. Oddly enough, I tend to do fine with overhead movements for the most part, but something...

I am a certified athletic trainer that currently provides massage therapy for sport teams in my area ( in addition to sport training). I am looking to see how offen you recommend bodywork to recover, maintain muscle balance and for pain & injury prevention. Do you use it yourself? How often?
