Nobody ever wants to experience a serious lifting injury, but many will anyway. The longer you stay in this game and the stronger you become, the greater the odds that at some point you'll be faced with a serious injury. Due to my strength level and approach to training, I've suffered more muscle and tendon tears than just about any competitor I happen to know. Some of the injuries resulted in me being wheeled into an operating room for surgical repair and many others required an extensive rehab.



Most would say I'm lucky to still be fully functional, let alone still lifting very heavy. However, even with all of these injuries I continue to progress, and every year I'm bigger and stronger. This article is about how I managed to overcome these setbacks and how you can do the same, should the lifting demons strike you down with no mercy.



There are two major issues after a serious injury. The first is obviously the injury itself. The second and often more challenging is the psychological aspect of returning to training and competition after a serious injury.

It's a good thing to be able to work around an injury till it heals enough to get working it again. Muscle tears are the worst and may need surgery plus recovery time before rehab.
