    Yesss, about to have l5 s1 herniated disc surgery. 4-6 week recovery time, instead of being down in the dumps look at it like a transformation and be better version of yourself. Learn more about mobility and flexibility workouts and how to make it a thing! Feels good to know other people look at it that way too🙏

    I am 26 years old. When I was 19 I got into a car wreck and I got stuck under the truck for 8hrs. I broke my neck my c3-c7 front and back. I have rods and plates holding my neck together. I had PT for 2 years and I was walking normal again. Fast forward to 2016. I was riding a horse and he ran me into a tree. I shattered my pelvis they had to put rods in that. I broke my femur in half. I have a rod in that. I shattered my left hip. I have a full hip replacement. I broke my leg elbow I have rods in that. And they are never coming out. I have been struggling the past years. It has effected me physically and mentally. And it’s a daily struggle. I have depression bc of it. But I want to get back in the gym and get strong again. So this is a good listen. Thanks.

    If you have genuine depression see your doctor and get on an antidepressant while asking for a referral to a therapist. Not because there’s anything wrong with how you’re feeling but because this combination has the highest statistics’ backed evidence at working at getting you over the hump. Use such a platform to exercise as much as you can as this plus sunlight, good nutrition and regular sleep patterns too, are also the most powerful ways to beat depression back in its hole. I really can’t stress enough how much the sleep issue is key: you’re clearly made of strong stuff and will get through this.

    Really good information thanks y’all. Since my injuries. My lower left back has been giving me tons of trouble. Once I start standing on my feet for a long period my back hurts super bad. But if I am in the gym working out it does not hurt. I have definitely lost confidence in myself. I know it’s in me somewhere. Just lost right now. I’m just trying to figure out how to control this pain I’ve been having while also maintaining a healthy lifestyle which I have not being doing as of lately. Just trying to get out this hole I feel like I’m in. And get back in the gym again.

If anything with all my injuries I have more back pain than anything. They have one of those chairs at the gym I have a membership for. I’m gonna try and make myself go this week and try it out.

    Two years ago I spent four months in an in-patient physical rehab center after a month-long coma from a bacterial infection. When I got there I was a wreck, unable to stand or walk. My physical therapist said over and over “Do what you can, any way you can.” With her help, the help of my occupational therapist, and the help of your commentary on Sisyphus, Commander, I got out of the center two months ahead of their most optimistic projection.

    If your body is in pain, it means it's telling you to stop what you are doing and rest somewhere you can't be hurt again. A physical body does not care about your ego to "push through". If it's broken, it's broken. And when it gets broken seriously, it will stay broken permanently and you'll be on medication and pain for the rest of your life. I was in the Marine Corps, and I see a lot of Marines just "grinding through" the pain like it's nothing. That's cool IF you are in the battlefield where you have to push yourself to survive. But if you are not, then you'd better go see a doctor and give your body a proper rest. Your body is yours only. If it's broken, nobody will take care of it. Nobody will care if you scream at night in pain. Your body is your only asset in this world. Don't abuse it.

It brought me down into a deep depression, not being able to do the things I used to, being stuck at home and unable to go back to work or live a normal life. I just have to do what i can and try to keep myself from going crazy. As the days go by I get closer and closer to the point where I can feel like myself again. Just have to keep moving forward, thats all you can do.

    I sustained a knee redislocation from Muay Thai. I first injured it at age 13 then dislocated at 18 years old and have gotten to a plateau but have been told I will need an Osteotomy and MPFL reconstruction due to cartilage damage and my knee being dislocated. It’s a depressing and saddening thing however I’m going to go through this surgery to start my dreams of one day fighting professionally but in the meanwhile focus on school and recovery. It’s been the hardest 2 years of my life I am 20 now and still awaiting surgery but I’m hopeful I will power through

    that’s crazy bro, i had ACL and meniscus reconstruction in 2021 at 20y/o. just reinjured my meniscus 2 days ago also doing muay thai. it’s not easy man, these things will keep happening if you’re not careful. take your time, patience is EVERYTHING when it comes to this shit. don’t let your emotions affect the intensity of your training and recovery. another lesson i’ve learned is to really listen to your gut. my knee was feeling better than ever and i accepted a fight this coming september and started fight camp. i was confident in my skill but i had a feeling my knee wasn’t ready. i was thinking it was that inner bitch in me making excuses but i guess it turned out to be right this time. i feel like a complete fool now not listening to myself, and shameful that i have to go through this process again. i want to give up but that’s not happening. anyway i wish you the best luck brother be good to yourself.

    Great advice. For whatever reason, the last few times I've tried some moderately heavy back squats I've tweaked my lower back causing me to be out for a good two weeks or so. Front squats? No problem at all! I've been front squatting exclusively for the last 6 months and I've hit some pretty massive PR's and my clean & jerk really hasn't diminished either. Same thing with bench, can't do it because of a shoulder issue but weighted push-ups are good to go! Took me a long time to be okay with admitting something is just not working and scrapping it for something else...probably why I have the nagging injuries! But I feel good now and get the same satisfaction in my workout despite scrapping those lifts.

    Injury is the most overlooked topic in the fitness space. For every 1000 videos or articles published on working out (programs, techniques, diet etc) there is 1 addressing injury. Yet, IMO nothing will damage your health, cause depression and knock you out of a routine faster or harder. And there never seems to be any real answers and medicine offers basically the same poor solutions as 80 years ago in the form of surgery or PT. I’m cautious of surgery and I think PT is mostly quackery. This video made me feel better seeing the comments and hearing about how these 2 hard-as-nails guys aren’t invincible either.

While grabbing my foot doing a side lunge for my groin/hamstrings, my shoulder/pec get super tight. I thought I tore something. A few days later doing what I can, muscle scraping helped a ton. Doing a de-load week/what I can for a few days. I am trying to frame it as a time to get re-energized about that gym, even If its only a 5 day deload, it can make a big difference (also laying low with caffeine for a few days/week)..

    Funny , he talked about listing to your body’s on deadlifting . I strained my lower back squatting three plates full range of motion ,I don’t use belts,this would be topical of a lift . But that morning ,my mind registered that my body wasn’t ready for that lift ,fell short on a few days of recovery prior(nutrition )to my last leg day and didn’t warm up properly.So I strained my lower back on the first rep under 3 plates. Called it a day went home and stairs in bed called out for work .On day four and still haven’t gone back to work but like jocko said do what you can. It’s helped in taking the rough edges out on on exercises , disconnecting my lower back from the movement building a stronger neurological connection to what ever I’m applying stress and contractions on that day.

    There's a strong correlation between fasting and autophagy, one of the cellular processes underlying healing. Either alternate day or about 20/4 daily intermittent fasting seems to be the sweet spot. Also, of course, the quality of fatty acids in the diet is fundamental to the soundness of tissues built therefrom. An injured dog knows all this instinctively. He'll curl up motionless for a whole day, and his appetite later for bacon is legendary!

Yes, searching PubMed for "intermittent fasting" or "fasting" will yield results way beyond my available time and capacity to understand. So, I have come to rely on qualified interpreters to some extent. One of several such is Dr. Ken D. Berry, author of a book titled "Lies My Doctor Told Me." But nothing he or other presenters of similar information say has convinced me of the truth of this point of view. That has resulted from more than a year's worth of personal experience in adopting a handful of dietary practices. The overall improvement in health and cognition is tangible, even if I have not found it necessary to be measured. Further satisfaction comes from the fact that these practices seem to agree with and support my own personal values and philosophy of living. Any who are similarly curious about their place in the world, but are hesitant to rely solely on expert opinion, have my sincerest good wishes.

    I broke both of my wrists, 26 years apart. The first one was the worst one. I brought it on myself, though. I was 3 sheets to the wind and it was dark. I was trying to impress a woman with my tree climbing skills. I jumped out to grab a branch and it was dead. I fell 12’ to the ground and had to get a closed reduction. Out of work for 3 months. The second one, the right wrist, was in 2016. I let a friend talk me into a task I knew was unsafe and unnecessary. The wrist break wasn’t as bad, but I also fractured my pelvis. That was the hardest! If it weren’t for my lifelong exercise regimen, my recovery time would have been greatly extended. So, yes. Daily exercise will help you recover more quickly from injuries.:)

    Rest and then slowly bring yourself back to the activity. If something hurts a lot don't do it. However, a small bit of pain/tightness is not a reason to stop.

    I had 4 ACL surgeries and a serious infection because of an incapable doctor and after that for some reason my ankles got injured even though the only PT I did was the physical therapy recommended by the doctor. Fast-forward 4 years and my hand, ankle and shoulder ligaments are torn. Doctors can't find the reason why I got these injuries and they refuse to operate on me because I am only 24 and they said if I have the surgeries my movement will be reduced to 50% and they don't want me to blame them for it the rest of my life. It really sucks because physical activity is my life. I get depressed if I don't exercise for 2 weeks.

How can I keep on grinding while also resting, I feel like a bum sitting at home all day (can't even go to work) , but even walking outside makes me feel like I'm gonna pass out. How to not lose that strive for something bigger, when you are bound to rest for 1+ month.

Third degree burn to my left foot, impingment in L4, L5 spinal cord, permantly disfigured right pinky finger, bone bruise in my left heal that never really went away, lack of range of motion in my wrists making me have to do push-ups on fists (not to show off). Most of this is verifiable by MRI and can be seen on pictures of Facebook page Ben Piscopo.

    I have osteoarthritis in my knees. I have TRIED very hard to make my legs strong but all exercises cause the pain to exacerbate. I have tried AGT method as well, half squats, quarter squats and every leg exercise possible but it just keep on getting worse, i was not able to run and now i can't even walk long distances, my calf is jammed all the time. if i don't put pillows under my calf, i would wake up because of a sprain every day strangling my calf like a snake wrapped around it with me writing in pain. I am 32, i have already had 4 knee surgeries(both knees) and i am just in pain and feeling very helpless. There was a time that i used to run 10 km even with weak knees, used to do crossfit for upper body, could do a 100 pull ups but i am just getting defeated by pain to the point where i don't want to take the hit. it's hard to get up when probability dictates that i will most certainly fall back down.

Also MSM, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Type 2 Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, high dose Fish Oil, Tumeric Supplements Needs Joint Stack contains most of the above (minus fish oil and serrap) and more Combine the lot, and then i'd look at doing super high rep band work to target your knees for blood flow.
