Once you reach a certain level of strength, shit hurts. It's okay. It's no reason to panic. Butr you have to own up to the fact that you will be uncomfortable and you need to get used to it. If you are not okay with this, you will never reach the level of strength you could otherwise.
It's a hard pill to swallow sometimes, as it is very much againt the grain, especially when there are so many movement gurus and new and shiny rehab and prehab modalities to UP YOUR RECOVERY and TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
But it's all bullshit. At a certain level it's a farce. If you push the envelope, bend the borders, and generally try to do what people thought impossible one day, you will never be ahead of the damage. You can merely manage it and try to lessen it so that you can continue to push and delay the onset of the BREAK.
We are on a tightrope above a pit called injury and trauma. You train and push and walk along the tightrope for 6 months? You can get by. You stay in the sport for a decade? For two?
You start unrolling the firehoses and start waiting to wash the splatter off the concrete beneath you.
But there's no thrill like falling.
