The Plan Changed: Training Through a Setback

The comeback was finally gaining momentum. Then everything changed. An ER visit followed, and an MRI has been ordered to determine the extent of the injury. Until I have a confirmed diagnosis and recovery plan, Olympic weightlifting is on hold. So what’s next? For now, I’m documenting how training is changing, including the upper-body work featured in this video, while I figure out what recovery looks like and what activity is medically appropriate. At 38 years old, after more than two decades of lifting, I’ve learned that progress doesn’t always look like another PR. Sometimes it means adapting, being patient, and knowing when to back off. This series was never supposed to be just a highlight reel. It’s about the entire comeback: the victories, the frustrations, and everything in between. Steel bars. Bumpers. Unfinished business. 🤘 #NoRepTV #OlympicWeightlifting #MastersWeightlifting #WeightliftingComeback #InjuryRecovery #StrengthTraining #MississippiBarbell #UnfinishedBusiness
