Training
We are still here fixing our brokenness, this week is the first week I attempted to hit prescribed "percentages". I got within 7% of what was written but the body is not there yet, and the reps at the requested number last week that were "good" were not high enough to justify any type of push this week. I will say that over 90% of my reps today felt locked in and safe which is a huge plus, this means the unilateral work and trunk work chosen is appropriate and my body is responding well.
Perspective
Every person in my circle in this industry will give the same advice. Just because there is an injury does not mean there needs to be a retreat from training. The body responds to stimulus and although an injury messes with athletes mentally, and depending on the injury itself, physically, does not justify one of our top five priorities (Training) be dropped. There are always ways to train around an injury and if you have chosen your training partners correctly they will not only support you through it but also aid you in the transition.
Coaching
If you or a training partner is injured make sure:
1- you have a proper diagnosis of the problem, no need in chasing incorrect fixes
2- you sit down prior to your block, wave, or training cycle and set out a PROGRESSION of movements FOR YOUR ISSUE
3- Start basic then advance, going back to basics will always help
4- make sure you are doing the movements correctly, not just going through the motions as I talk about here
5- don't be in a rush to test, recovery is key
