“I don’t always do anything” some wisdom right there!

Appreciate the nice step by step progression/regression to addressing pain/injury instead of the very typical "STOP TRAINING" protocol by many doctors.

It all seems so logical ... but I had no idea. As someone dealing with pain this was useful. Thanks for sharing!

What kind of pain did you deal with and how long until you recovered?

Whaterya gunna do?? NAwt TrAin??

I hurt my knee last November. There was no indication that anything was wrong until I warmed up the next day. I finish 10 reps with the bar, then 95 lbs, everything is fine till I load 135 and then all hell broke loose. I stopped squatting for a week, then met with the athletic trainer who prescribed some weird step-up variation. No luck whatsoever. I just had to resort to box squats for 5 whole months before I could squat again. Over time I reduced the height of the box till I was box squatting touch and go below parallel. Right now with some decent neoprene knee sleeves, I am back at it. Probably lost a couple of months in this whole process but hey, I don't have to box squat anymore. The doctor's recommendation was interesting - "I don't see anything wrong in the x-ray, but why squat?" lol. P.S. - He is a good doctor and I trust his judgment in most cases. Probably he wasn't exposed to weight training.

Ted talk on pain

Brilliant and clear as hell to understand. Thanks for posting ur boy Alan

Awesome video. Never thought that way to train around injuries.

bless you for that chunk of information! incredible value

Thank you BBM for putting out this amazing information for everyone to watch for free. I've heard about your model for injury management several times before but it's nice to see it gathered all in one video. I hope a lot of people see this. I'm not even injured (jinx) but feel like I'm not even afraid of it anymore because I know how to handle it if it ever happens.

A great book will tell you something you already know, but have not been able to put into words. This presentation is absolute gold. The perfect balance between not being a idiot, i.e listening to your pain and not ignoring it, and not feeling sorry for yourself to the point of hindering your recovery.

Thank you for a systematic process for addressing pain with trainees.

Straightforward and really helpful.

Thanks for summarizing this Doc! Very helpful algorithm.

Holy shit this guy is an incarnation of knowledge. Probably the most helpful workout video i ever watched. MORE OF THIS!

Deserves more views, the legend Dr Pain!

Excellent video. Thanks for the information Austin.

These strategies have helped me be able to get back under the bar. I continue to make progress and think about pain in a different way than I used to. Saving up to attend a seminar. Thanks!

Thanks for the great clip Alan!

Just tweaked my back deadlifting a couple days ago and boom. Thank you, Universe.

I needed this video. Tweaked my back on a DL. Kept using pain as an excuse not to train. Time to get after it.

oh baby love me some Baraki

My biggest failure in weightlifting was failing to do mobility exercises. I did some stretching, but nowhere near what I should be doing! Personal trainer took me to the side and started to poke my back and check my shoulders. He said I am very tense and asked how much do I stretch, or do mobility exercises? I looked at him and said little to non. He knows I have been lifting for years. My shoulder started to act up last week and was freaking out a bit. Pain dose not hit me all day long, just when I am doing some workouts like bench-press. I tried the bar alone and no pain and this is before someone sent me this video. When I tried 135 pounds I could do 10 reps slowly, but had to stop. This video is very insightful and I will use it to help me.

If i had a pound for everytime Alan Thrall mentioned Austin Baraki..... 🤣

Underrated video running this for pin squats rn

This is gold

Thanks for this video. I can’t do conventional deadlifts because it triggered sciatica pain. But I can easily do trap bar or sumo deadlift.

Barakis tris are quite impressive

This made me feel a lot better. I hit 405 on squat for the first time and felt invincible that whole week. Then in the beginning of the following week while warming up on deadlifts I heard a quick pop pop pop in my lower back to left almost closer to the hip bone. The first day I couldn’t get out of a chair but two days later I could squat and deadlift 135 for sets of 10 low rpe with no pain. I feel as though I could increase weight but I’m a little concerned at what those popping sounds were and still feel twinges/pulling near the spot of the popping with certain body shifts like side to side or front to back.

"I wouldn't say I always do anything." - Austin Baraki displaying how to be nuanced lol

This was really good teaching, meow.

This is the most important video on the internet.....

6 months ago, I just started lifting. I am 48. I had an acute injury. Posterior tibial tendon to be precise. I got engaged on free weights specially the barbell exercises and I am happy with the results. My body never felt and looked this strong. But as a runner I have been trying to test my tendon every time the pain is gone. So it seems this one is to hard to heal. Well, the PT said I must rest it for the next 6 weeks and that includes no free weights!!!! I am on week one and 4 days and it feels better so I wonder what are your thoughts about it. I know running is a big no no so I will wait. But practically just do nothing except for machines and core? I mean, not even body squats as I was told? Thank you in advance for any reply :) oh, must add I workout 6 days of the week and I reckon full body. More barbell and heavy dumbbells than anything. Including my core which is separate 4 days a week and before the injury running 3 days a week including one long run. I love miles and miles and miles. Barefoot by the way. I mean. Nothing on my feet except for my Bare feet. 2 years to have get rid of shoes which made my lower legs and feet stronger than ever. So this last info may help. :))

That was great a Strategy

Great!

But what were those "red flags" he mentioned at the beginning?

any tips for chronic groin injury? it's mainly in the adductor brevis/longus and seems to be concentrated near the tendon to bone connection point. Pain gets more intense after an extended amount of sitting still but also after running/dancing. Havent been squatting and deadlifting for 3 years (since the injury, started to do only bar but also stopped with that because it also increased the pain).

never been this fast lol Alan Bless me with some "RPE GAINS"

While I can appreciate the lecture for what it is I also am interested in handling pain that isn’t exercise based, for instance chronic pain caused by genetic or hormonal factors that one cannot help. Really engaging video :)

Hi Austin - thanks again for the great content as always. From my understanding of your previous lectures, pain does not always mean that there is an injury present. In the context of lower back pain (as mentioned on your last feature on Alan's channel), would it be possible for the pain to represent an acute injury? And if so, would you still abide by the four step protocol? Once again, many thanks for the information!

Humberto Fierro Laredo How would you define an “acute injury” differently? If there are no classic “red flag” signs, I would use exactly the same approach.

Thanks again for the reply, Austin. From my understanding, there are at least two scenarios: 1) Pain represents an injury where something is wrong (i.e., broken bone, etc. ) and 2) Pain does not represent any injury... Would this be somewhat slightly accurate?....

@tzqrr

5 жыл бұрын

Humberto Fierro Laredo Again, the definition of “injury” and something being “wrong” is a lot more tricky than you think. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of acute pain / injury sustained in the gym tends to resolve on its own, or with continued activity. Acute fractures are exceedingly rare in barbell training.

I think next time ur muscles start to cramp IMMEDIATELY go limp like as if ure floating in water. completely relax the cramping muscles even though it hurts. once the cramping subsides it should completely disappear. from my experiennce its only when u "fight" against the pain and tighten up that the muscles stay sore for much longer

@lemonmochi8669

and also u probably have electrolyte imbalance that's why ur muscles cramp up so easily. eat more salt. not table salt but something like redmond real salt that has all the minerals in it. or just drink isotonic. but really people need to have more salt in diet we need salt to survive

You should go watch Barbell Medicines recent Santa Cruz Q/A. They talk about cramping there and I think itll help answer your questions. Basically issues like this usually arise from training fatigue and tend to go away on their own. I wouldn't worry too much.

Why would this not work for tendinopathy?

Going from effectively "untrained" to a somewhat rigorous lifting regime, I'm pretty much going through this process with every lift.

Saw this guy today and wanted to ask him how I tweaked my low spine squatting 105.

I messed up my SI joint squatting 135lbs during my first legit squatting session. I haven't felt comfortable squatting even 95lbs since, and that was ~6 years ago.

*Mr T nods in agreement* 😲

What about when the pain doesn't appear during training and only during the following days post session? E.g. you squat pain free, but during the 7+ days after that session you feel knee pain even without squatting.

So what for a chronically tendonaphy? Every so many months of good training a tendon plays up again, slowly accumulating (only after sets and training) and setting me back for months

@millettehabs224

laurens Big matter of addressing it at the root of the problem...be that biomechanics and stresses, decreased strength (there's good research for eccentric loading helping with tendinopathies), or determining whether you're addressing acute, relatively isolated tendinitis, or a strain (and at what stage of tissue healing). Most situations will be different. But those things are important to address ASAP if it's chronic, to avoid breakdown of the tendon over time, though (i.e. tendinosis).

I don't have tendonopathy, but I have had a very upset ischial tuberosity and biceps femoris and pretty much we follow these four steps. Especially strengthening with basic exercises like hip extensions, then gradually increasing load more and more, and building up to a normal exercise (for me it's running)

My biggest tip, smoke a joint before you lift, you'll definetly ignore all pain signals.... As well as injury signals 😂

nothing is painful for you after you went through 20 rep squat routine

Would have been nice to see before i maxed today but still made it in 700 lb club with a total weight of 740. Thats clean, squat, bench
