What this chapter covers
Everyone who trains long enough gets injured. The variable that determines your long-term progress is not whether it happens, but what you do in the eight weeks after it does.
The first is catastrophising: complete rest, total avoidance, and a slow drift into deconditioning and fear. Tissue that is never loaded never remodels, and the injury becomes a permanent identity.
This book is educational and is not medical advice. It cannot account for your medical history, medication or injuries. Speak to a qualified clinician before changing how you eat or train, particularly if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or returning from injury.
