Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well!
Welcome to my video made exclusively for D.Tube.
Almost every athlete I know has an overuse injury of some kind. They are an absolute pain to deal with, and it's something that everyone could do better with.
The main cause, I believe, is by going too hard too fast. Everyone focuses on how muscles react to a new workout or training regime, but people don't put as much effort into our their tendons and fascia respond. Basically, the trick is, unfortunately, to go slower than you'd like.
It's truly the tortiose versus the hare... go hard, go fast, get injured, recover, rinse, repeat... or slowly adapt to a new training regime and slowly build up your muscies, tendons and fasica. Given I've been out for nearly 10 months with climbers elbow, I can tell you which method is far more successful.
Lots of people do blame overuse injuries on age... but I really do think that part of the problem is the damage we do and the patterns we establish when we're younger.
Turn down the intensity of your workouts, but turn up the consistency!
What do you think? Do you have any overuse injuries you're struggling with?
Thanks for watching!

Overuse injuries are super tough, especially since you've typically only gotten one because you get so gung-ho about trying hard -- and the only solution / remedy is slowing down and resting, which is hard to do when you're fired up about training.
I've recently tweaked a tendon in my wrist that I'm in the process of recovery for -- but it's proving to be difficult to not climb or do any weights (turns out that wrists get involved in just about anything/everything).
Great video, brotha.

Thanks dude!
I've been super scattered the past few weeks, and this week is looking to be the most intense, and then I'm hoping to get back to normal(ish) life next week and get some more exhaustin' on the board...
Wrists are a super rough one... it honestly feels like the weakest link in the entire upper body chain, but potentially the most crucial. Hope you get it healed and happy soonest.
Slowing down and resting, but also trying to build up all the surrounding bits, which is what I often struggle with... it's hard to know if you're building it up good or hurting it more.
