Smart looked strong on squats this week. Didn't take long to get used to the monolift either which was good.
Don't want to jinx anything but he hasn't had any knee pain for quite a while now, which is fantastic considering we've been able to steadily increase volume over the last couple of months. Looks like all the rehab work we did (heavy squats) in his last training block really paid off.
Rehab work doesn't have to be light, fluff work with tiny resistance bands. Some injuries/pain respond better to heavy work.
Understanding why you're experiencing pain is the first step to figuring out a solution and getting stronger. You will always benefit from getting stronger.
There are no benefits to being weak.
