+ODIW i say this out of utmost sympathy and is coming from someone who had to pull out from the Arnold pro raw challenge last year due to injury and was absolutely heartbroken. switching focus helped me a lot but just pulling for him in the end!

Believe it or not, this video probably showcased more strength than even if you were to go on and win the IPF worlds. Good luck Layne, keep fighting!

A setback is a setup for a comeback. Take your time to heal well man, the human body can do incredible things. You'll be back!

+Dluu22 Great saying, nonetheless

Layne, I was a client of yours back in 2012. Don’t know if you’d remember this, but just as we were making progress, I suffered a hernia. I was devastated. You encouraged me to overcome the setback and come back strong, which I did! Now it’s your turn to do the same! “Every adversity carries with it the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.” Look for the opportunity my man. You got this. Crush it. Also, I know you don’t want advice on treatment, but look into Prolotherapy if you haven’t already. It has been successful with unique and stubborn sports injuries. Worked wonders for my rib-cartilage injury after many failed orthopedic and PT visits. Thought it would be worth mentioning.

not to be negative but after suffering from chronic elbow tendinitis for over 2 years, I entirely realigned my values. Fitness should be to enhance your life, not cause you pain and suffering. Having said that, I quit power-lifting and have taken a complete different approach to training and being healthy. I'm sure lots of people go through the same phase when they realize it simply isn't worth it. I'm lucky, its just an elbow, If it were my back or knees, I could not imagine that.

+Jason 56 I respect your decision, however I broke a world record on the biggest stage in powerlifting in the world. I got a silver medal in the most competitive world championship there has been. I don't care if I broke both my legs and back. I wouldn't trade it. It was worth it

I'm with Jason on this one. Who will care about or even remember big lifts 10 years from now. I've managed to train 36 straight years and still going strong with durability and health at 52 years old. Never had a surgery or serious injury whatsoever.

Layne, try wendlers 531, its good for broke down old men who still want to powerlift. Just joking, get well soon

I usually hate on you layne but I feel you on the hip injury, I was dealing with the same for about 6 months before it finally healed up. Wish you the best on your recovery man.

Wish you all the best Layne, hope you recover fast champ!

Layne best of luck with your rehab, looking forward to following the comeback! Just remember one of your greatest contributions to this industry has been all the people you have helped reach their goals and overcome issues with their metabolism and health. Not to mention all the knowledge you make available for those of us looking to learn and grow

This is why I love these videos. I'm hitting a wall myself with my track season and I was starting to get discouraged. But this is real. To see someone go through a hard time and still stay so positive is truly inspiring. Thank you Dr. Norton. We wish you all the best!

Feels Sunday! So begins the epic comeback to elite level. If there is anyone on this planet that can do it, it's you.

Sorry to hear about this...I was looking forward to seeing you there. Heal up and come back stronger than ever. The nutritional information you've shared freely with everyone has been a tremendous help to me. Thanks!

Dang man, I'm so sorry to hear this stuff. I'm going through something so similar with my hip. It's so frustrating. I can't even imagine how frustrating it is for you, seeing as it has cost your Worlds. You have the perfect attitude about it though. Even when it seems like there's no fix, keep that head up and be determined to beat it. I know you'll be back and be even better than before.

Down but not out! All the best for your recovery and keep us up to date :)

great attitude about your injury and you really put your "never give up" mentality on display, wishing you a fast recovery and hope to see you on the platform again soon!

Nothing but respect here Layne. I think everyone appreciates the transparency. All the best in your rehab

Keep at it Layne! Pain is temporary but quitting lasts forever. You are and have always been a great motivation !!

Wish you the speediest of recoveries Lane. We're all behind you. Keep that winning mentality that got you to where you are today! In the long run this decision will do nothing but benefit your progression as an athlete.

Your relentlessness is inspiring, Layne. Excited to see you fight your way back and prove everyone wrong.

glad to see you're working with Quinn. Good luck man!

Great Video Layne! Can't wait for this come back series of videos. Please post as much as possible.

It's disappointing you are missing worlds but get healthy Layne. Hope you have a speedy rehab and comeback even stronger.

layne, thank u for this video .. i am currently suffering from elbow and knee tendonitis as well as back problems .. i believe the sacroilliac joint has been damaged due to deadlifts : ( the diagnosis is not confirmed yet but doesnt look good .. u have show cased utter strength with this video, given me strength n hope to heal n go bavk to lifting heavy .. goodluck with ur recovery .. u will recover n come back better than ever !! we are all with u ..

You can come back from this man. You are hard working as all hell. You help out the little nobodies like me with good information all the time. I look forward to seeing you overcome this and come back even better. You got my support best wishes!

You'll be back stronger than ever, Layne! Keep treating your body right and taking the time to heal your injury, and your body will treat you right when it's healthy again. IPF Worlds are in Calgary in 2018 (kind of close to home for you). Can't wait to see you break some new records there, if not sooner! (I'll hopefully be competing there as well, if all goes according to plan!)

Wish you a quick recovery, Layne. As this quotes says : "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.". You are a huge inspiration for people like me and many many others. I remember some of your words from your vlogs about not to give up. You said that "Quitting is not acceptable. If you quit, you wont get what you want." or " Failure is not final unless you quit." We - subcribers - are supporting you. Even if this comment means nothing and changes nothing. We are with you.

Layne you'll be back !! Youre such an inspiration. Thank you for everything.

I'll wait for the day you come back better. You will always be an inspiration to me. Thanks Layne!

Layne, I've been a huge fan of you and your content for a couple of years now and it kills me to see you face these injuries. I can't help but find a parallel between you and me though, you coming off of the excellent IPF worlds performance last year is similar to my junior year of high school last year, I was all state in football, placewinner in wrestling, and runner up in shot put. This year I would've been a shoe in for elite all-state in football, a state finalist in wrestling, and a champ in shot put. Unfortunately i bulged a lumbar disc severely in June (herniation by some evaluations) and as usual when it rains it pours I had a wrist injury 3 games into football season that has kept me out of every sport since. Things won't be getting any easier as next year Im headed off to arkansas and the sec west to play football but everyday Im embracing the challenge and I'll be back, better than ever, just like you

Good luck in your recovery Layne.

As someone who's struggled to bounce back from injuries in the past and is currently on the road to recovery from my latest injury, I can relate to the physical & mental/emotional struggles you're going through. I sincerely hope that you make a swift & full recovery from your injuries.

I'm sorry for your pains, Layne. Sending you good vibes! You're amazing.

You will come back stronger than ever man!!

Wish you all the best Layne. Looking forward to you bouncing back. Keep educating us. Cheers

I have no doubt you will return man. You are amazingly persistent and smart with your training and determined to overcome when dealing with setbacks. No doubt in my mind you will get through this. Stay positive man. I'd also love to see you in the bodybuilding stage again someday. Regardless of what you do, you will kill it. Good luck man.

wish you all the best, layne. hope you have a fast recovery.

Sorry to hear that you're having such difficulty. Can't wait to see you kicking butt again.

You're actually one of my perhaps only a handful of guys that I invest my time in to follow and learn to grow to become a better lifter in this sport. I'm sure a man of your characters and work ethics will not let anything stand in your way. I'm already excited thinking about how big things are going to get once you're back at it.

this makes me sad feel better dude!!! praying for you and i know you will be back in no time! you will forever be a role model to me and so many others!!

Being injured is so heartbreaking. It sucks not to be able to do what you love. I had a pretty bad shoulder injury that is now finally better. Hope you recover well and quickly.

Sorry to hear this Layne. I can see how important this was to you. Good Luck on your recovery and comeback! Your attitude is very inspiring. I personally just had inguinal hernia repair surgery a couple days ago, so I am also plotting a recovery/comeback to powerlifting (albeit not at your level)... thanks for the inspiration!

Your strongest muscle is between your ears, Layne. That is your real power and your biggest advantage in all of life. Best of luck on your comeback journey.

Layne, you still are first class and a true motivator. Ignore the scoffers and haters. You don't need that negativity. I can relate to this. I recently had rotator cuff surgery and it took me out of the gym for a few months. I am just now getting back in there with light weight/high rep workouts. I will be going heavy again soon. I plan to do a bodybuilding show in June 2017. It does take time. I know you and I know you will be back, probably better than ever. I say lookout world records. Hang in there my friend. We all still love and support you.

I love that you always keep it real, though the good and the bad. You just rock, proud to call you my coach! :)

Hey Layne, I know this must be really hard for you, but health comes first and you're a champion for making the hardest decision ever. Use this off-season to get well and heal up. We'll see you on he platform again soon!

Good luck healing! Chronic injuries, especially chronic injuries where you can't nail down exactly what the injury IS are a pain in the ass to deal with. Keep at it.

Keep your head up man. I know what you're going through because I had the exact same hip bursitis that you have, and it lasted 3 months. I couldn't squat or deadlift in that time. It was hell. But just 6 weeks after coming back from the injury and I am stronger than ever. You regain what you had REALLY fast.

I'm not the biggest fan of Layne Norton, but one thing is disagreeing with someone and another is kicking him when he is down and injured. Hope you get on your feet soon, man.

Sorry about this bro... thanks for the video. I hope you heal up fast and comeback stronger than ever.

"I'm not dead which means I'm not going to quit" if there is anyone that is strong enough mentally to overcome this it's you Layne. Best of luck and I'm sure you will be back stronger than ever.

A setback is a setup for a comback! Get better, Layne! We're here with you.

I heard you say in your podcast that when you are super frustrated, a break through is coming soon. You will get back to where you were, and probably stronger. Best wishes!

I'm so sorry Layne! I know this must be so difficult for you! Just try to remain positive and allow yourself to heal. Be good to yourself and don't beat yourself up. We love you are will always support you! You are such am inspiration and always will be. You offer so much more than just being an incredible athlete. Keep your head up! ;)

Do you remember when everybody said you were done with that back injury and then you went and broke a WR in squat? Do not fool anybody. We all know that you will be back stronger than ever. Do you think that you have accomplished all these with your poor body? You mental strength and power of will created all these man. Injuries are just another challenge on the way to prove that nothing can actually stop you. Rise and shine. Best wishes!

You know it was worth it Doctor. I have great respect for your work ethic. Brick by brick Layne.

Thanks for sharing Layne, looking forward to seeing those PRs you promised!

"Let the comeback begin". You posted a vid of you squatting earlier. The comeback has already begun!!!

Good luck Layne! I have had a herniated disc and two bulging discs in my lumbar spine since August and can understand the pain in our back! (not so much the hip though)and Not on the amazing level you have worked to terms of such success in powerlifting. Just good luck I will be watching your journey wishing you the best!!!

My heart goes out to you buddy. I'm pulling for you.

hey layne just followed your channel after seeing some of your nutrition seminars. all the best with recovery bro i appreciate your effort to share the gospel of health and fitness as well as training your ass off.

Dealing with an back injury myself but not as severe as yours. If you can get through this it will rekindle hope; inspire me, and be a light at the end of the tunnel for me. Anyone who laughs at you is a straight up coward. Sending you my prayers, you can do this Mr. Norton!

damn brother I was looking forward to seeing you compete at worlds! it sucks for me to hear the news and can only imagine the devastation you feel but you are still an inspiration to me! I look up to your work ethic and strive to do the same in my own training. I don't understand any negativity you can be receiving (especially since I doubt any of them compete or strive to do well in anything other than troll on the internet) but for what its worth I'm pulling for you to come back better than ever so that one day I can compete on the same platform as you. never give up brother!!!

Best of luck with your comeback Layne.

I hear you. I messed up my left hip joint while squatting a little over a year ago. Can't do squats, deadlifts, or any other lower body exercise anymore. Can't run. I lost a great deal of muscle mass in the meanwhile, especially in my legs. About six or seven months ago I started working my upper body again. Tried doing squats and deadlifts a couple of times with 50kg to at least try and stay toned because my legs became pretty limp, but I can't even handle that because the pain I had to deal with afterwards was pretty debilitating. At this point I gave up on working out my lover body completely. The idea of having hip surgery terrifies me, so I pretty much learned to live with the discomfort and decided to postpone it indefinitely.

I hope you have a speedy recovery Layne

So sorry to hear this Layne. I know you will pull through this!!!

You will be back Layne! #Neverquit

Sincerely hope you can pull through this shithouse injury , come back and whoop Jessie at worlds next year ! Really sorry that you're doing it tough but you're still an inspirational athlete and coach.

Hope you're getting better soon! I've dealt with a disc issue for almost 3 years, this shit stops you dead in your tracks...

Do what is best for you. Your health is the most important thing! You are a champion! You know what is best for your body! I support you and think you should do what is best for you. Keep being AWESOME big guy!

Layne, you have been brave and have worked hard. Though I hardly ever pray, I will for you every time I do. Get well soon.

all the best on your recovery Layne

I wish you the best with recovery. I made a decision about 12 ish years ago to stop gymnastics or I would need back surgery and that was when I started lifting. ITons of people have had to do what was right for them even though it was a tough decision, but I have no doubt you will be able to build everything back up again and get back to where you want to be in good time. Stay positive!

Independently from the outcome, stay smart (as always), humble and brave on any news, courage and constant in recovery, and always move into new opportunities, if necessary.... you have to make anything, and you've proved that before. whish great recovery.

Damn man I'm more sad about this then Kobe retiring....I've just been rewarching your old training summaries

😢 Get well soon, Layne. Though, my faith has been shaken too now.

Layne, I had the EXACT same thing. Same symptoms and all. Ended up being a locked up SI joint. PT checked the mobility and it was fine on one side and zero on the other. Took 6 weeks off and did rehab specific to the SI Joint/Hip mobility and it worked itself out.

Hey layne I've watched a lot of your videos and I've learned a lot about volume and training to failure. You have really helped me understand how to implement these things into my training, I'm following Eric helms advanced bodybuilding split from his new book and I like it so far. Going to the gym 6 days a week is a lot but I don't feel burned out and deload every 4th week. I hope you get better and wish you nothing but the best. Whenever I have a question about training and nutrition I go to you. I bought your product Recover too recently and i love it. Can't wait until a whey protein comes out!

Sports medicine med student here. It probably IS bursitis. Cortisone has a very low success rate in hips, and even when it does have results, it's short-lived. Cortisone is highly effective in knees and elbows, but everywhere else less than 50% odds. Shoulders is the worst in terms of recovery time, surgery, and cortisone shots. Be thankful you don't have problems going on there. Hip surgeries are easy and you're walking on it the same day. The only reason we give cortisone shots everywhere is because it is cheap, doesn't really do harm, and hey, if it works you're golden. We'd much rather give a shot than cut you open. HA looks promising, but is stupid expensive ($300ish per shot last I heard AFTER insurance). Curcumine and UC-II demonstrate very good results consistently, and though many recommend glucosamine, I'm not as enthusiastic about that one. Won't hurt, but the evidence it will help is fairly weak, IMO. Lots of studies say it helps, but after seeing hundreds of patients try to go that route before coming to us, I'm not seeing real world carryover from those studies. If the standard keep it elevated, use NSAIDs, ice it, blah blah doesn't work, it's gonna be bursectomy time. If there's no lower back pain, it's likely not due to unequal leg length (most people have unequal legs, and measurements must be taken while standing, not prone). A bursectomy isn't too bad - done endoscopically so no huge slices and scars, and it will heal quickly. A new bursa will grow into place after 1-2 months.

Hey Layne, i'm probably the last one to touch on this topic since a little late in watching the video. Keep your head up big man and just focus on getting healthy and coming back even stronger next time. Your actions will silence all the naysayers. Good luck.

damn man.. hope you have a speedy recovery. I had a similar thing happened to me too couple years ago. I squatted and I heard a large cracking sound on my hip. I put the weight back but ever since then I can never squat heavy again because the pain comes back...

Have a safe and speedy recovery!

looking foward to your comeback

sorry to hear that, you can really tell the sincerity in your disappointment. try not to let it get to you for too long

I am currently recovering from a 2 level cervical disk replacement surgery done a UCSF( university California San Francisco) any questions I'd be happy to fill. God bless. God speed on recovery and don't underestimate this injury

Take as much time as you need off. At the end of the day you're only competing against yourself. As much as we all love working out health is more important. Have a speedy recovery.

Get well, buddy!

the intresting is not to see peoples prs but how they manage from the bottom, how they rise from crisis, thats what defines character...

one of my legs are longer than the other too! I had to have a chiropractor reset mine when I was 13. I couldn't lift my right leg or bend the knee. I really hope a speedy recovery to you! I'll send u some energy! ☀☀☀

Very best wishes of speedy recovery.

I can relate I've had a tweaked spinal erector for 6 months. Get healthy Dr. Layne!

layne i sent you a really important message about my herniated disc injury on facebook. Do you read those messages or can i send it to you elsewhere? Ive been dealing with a lot of frustrations the past 6 months like you have

You'll get through this, wish you the best

Look forward to you being back at full health

Have you checked for HERNATED DISCS in the Lower BACK? I had really bad pain in my hip, and it turns out it was NERVE Pain, from a herniated DISC. Look into it if you haven't. All the best

Do I hear a change of course to head for the Yorton Cup?! Is your IFPA Pro card still valid? So sad to hear your struggles. My hips are bugging me a lot lately, should I take it easy and get a professional opinion? I struggle to break parallel with any load or even no weight.

I'm just curious. Why aren't you competing in meets where everyone is being tested for anabolic steroids? It shouldn't be a problem for you, being all natural. I just find it strange.

Heal up and show people it's all part of the process to getting stronger

Hang in there, you'll be back bigger and stronger.
