How to work AROUND an injury
Tweaks happen.
What you do after the tweak can be the difference between a 1-2 week detour… or a lifetime of chronic pain.
Here’s 5 tips on how to keep training while healing.
1️⃣ Rest (But Not Too Much)
A couple of days off won’t kill your gains. I like to add mobility work during this phase because stiffness is often why you got hurt in the first place.
Our mobility program is great for that, get it below

2️⃣ Isometrics
I like isometrics for when you are NOT hurt for the tendon health benefits.
They also have a pain relieving (analgesic) quality to them, so great in these early stages when somethings fired up.
3️⃣Drop the Weight (20-25%)
If something feels irritated, pushing heavier loads won’t help. Dropping the weight is a no brainer.
And it gives you a runway to progress back to your old weight in the next 2-3 weeks
4️⃣ Change the Movement
👉 Shoulder tweak? Switch from barbell to dumbbells
👉 Back pain? RDLs instead of deadlifts
👉 Knee pain? Split squats instead of deep squats
The goal: keep effort high with minimal pain.
5️⃣ Get Help if It Keeps Happening
If you keep tweaking the same thing over
and over
and over
and over again… something needs to change.
