The First Step to Injury Prevention (Very Much) Involves You

The very first line read: Learn to distinguish between normal training discomfort and pain that signals potential injury.” The quote comes from a book written by one of the strongest strength athletes in history. The section?

“Injury Prevention Strategies”

The very first strategy is based almost entirely on self-awareness. After all, the only real way to tell the difference between pain and discomfort in your movement is to have enough self-awareness to do so. Most, however, don’t have that detailed level of self-understanding. 

Despite all the books and podcasts and large language models out there, we’re still only as good as we are self-aware. What better environment to meet yourself than with the trials and experiences of experimenting on yourself.
