Injuries and illness derail fitness progress more than missed workouts ever will. A coach shares how his client Hugh worked through knee issues by training smart instead of pushing through pain. Taking a holiday costs less time than an injury that sidelines you for months.
You have these days where shit doesn't go according to plan. Like, as much as I love it, we're filming, we don't film every day. This abductor, I've been working through some knee injuries with Hugh. You need to play it smart because you don't want to push, because the biggest barriers to progress are injury and illness. So if you get injured or if you get ill, they're 100% gonna take you out of progressing faster than anything else. So you can have bad workout, you can work through it, do the technique work, do the things that you're not doing, do the things that you've neglected, and we've to fight another day. Last thing you want to do is you want to get injured. This even goes when people won't take time off, they won't go on holiday. Well, an injury is going to be more costly than a holiday. You can regain from a holiday pretty fast and pretty quickly, but you get injured, it's going to be weeks if not months. And I've been injured quite a few times, so now I'm a lot more careful. Underachieving is still achieving. Underachieving is still achieving.
