Injuries or limitations
I want to talk to you guys about something I see time and time again in this community.
Men come in with battle scars. Shoulder surgeries. Bad knees. Lower back that's been through it. Decades of life and hard work written all over their bodies.
And then they walk into the gym and try to train like they're 25 again.
I get it. The competitive instinct doesn't die. You remember what you were capable of. You want to prove to yourself more than anyone, that you still have it.
But here's the reality. The men in this community who are making the best progress are not the ones training hardest. They're the ones training smartest.
Lower weight. Full control. Slowing the rep down and actually feeling the muscle working rather than just moving the weight from point A to point B. That's where the growth is. That's where the longevity is.
I've had shoulder surgery. I've had elbow issues. I know exactly what it costs to ignore the signals your body sends you. I made that mistake so you don't have to.
You're not less of a man because you dropped the weight. You're a more disciplined one. And discipline is what Built Different is built on.
What injury or limitation have you had to train around, and how did it change your approach?
