Chronic injuries
Might be a dumb question but how many of y’all deal with longterm chronic injuries that u have to stay proactive and manage? No matter how small.
Im 23 yo, on my 5th year powerlifting and been dealing with piriformis syndrome/ possible sciatica symptoms for a little over a year now. Started off bad but rehabbed to about 90% right now. Can lift pain free and have hit double and tripple PRs on squat but in certain extreme range of motion with rounded back or mornings still feel stiff and not fully healthy.
My first 4 years of powerlifting w worst form, horrible programming, maxing alot and i didnt get injured. Now i have to m constantly manage this injury. I see these ipf and high level powerlifters lift so much and are perfect healthy and not even an ounce of injury.
