Knee pain for 6 months → gone in 15 minutes.

This wasn’t luck.
This was proper assessment + targeted loading for a barbell athlete.

If your injury is affecting your training, you deserve answers—not endless visits with no change.

🎯 The Barbell Injury Breakdown is a complimentary Zoom call where we:
• Identify what’s actually driving your pain
• Test your capacity in real time
• Give you a clear plan forward

👉 Drop BREAKDOWN in the comments or DM me BREAKDOWN to book.

If finding a trigger point fixed pain, you’d be healed already.

Pressing on something until it hurts is not a diagnosis — it’s a guess.

If you’re done chasing sore spots and want answers that actually move the needle,
comment or DM “BREAKDOWN.”

I assess athletes the way pain should be assessed — with intention, not thumbs.

6 months of knee pain.
6 months of physical therapy.
0 change in symptoms.

In 15 minutes, we had her squatting pain-free.

This is exactly why I started Barbell Injury Breakdown.

Most athletes don’t need more exercises.
They need:
• the right assessment
• the right loading strategy
• and someone who understands barbell mechanics

Knee pain with squatting isn’t a mystery.
But if you never identify the limiting factor, nothing changes — no matter how long you’ve been in PT.

This breakdown was a real-time assessment, not guesswork.
And once we identified the issue, the solution was immediate.

If you’ve been dealing with pain that:
• won’t go away
• keeps showing up under the bar
• or has “plateaued” in rehab

I’ve got limited Barbell Injury Breakdown spots each week.

👇
Comment or DM the word “BREAKDOWN”
and we’ll take a look at what’s actually holding you back.

Not every trend in physical therapy and strength coaching is actually helping athletes.

Some of it just:
• sounds smart
• looks good on Instagram
• and keeps people stuck

Pain isn’t a posture problem.
Injuries aren’t a “weak core” problem.
And rehab doesn’t fail because you didn’t do enough band work.

Most athletes don’t need more corrections.
They need more capacity.

✔️ Load tolerance
✔️ Strength through range
✔️ Progressive exposure
✔️ Individualized assessment

If pain is limiting your training, it’s time to stop chasing fads and start building solutions that actually carry over to the barbell, the field, and real life.

🔷If your knee pain keeps coming back… it’s not a mobility problem. It’s a capacity problem.
Most athletes never test how much force their knee extensors can actually handle — and if you’re training on a weak foundation, your knees will let you know.

🔷In today’s post, I walk you through a simple, at-home assessment to measure your knee extensor load capacity.
No gimmicks. No guessing. Just objective data that tells you exactly what your knees can (and can’t) tolerate — and what needs to be trained to finally get out of the cycle of pain → rest → pain.

🔷If you want to:
• Squat pain-free
• Run without hesitation
• Jump without worrying what you’ll feel tomorrow
• Or finally make progress again
…you need to understand your capacity.

🔷Want help breaking this down for your knees?
I’m opening two spots each week for my Barbell Injury Breakdown — a complimentary Zoom assessment where I’ll walk you through what’s actually driving your pain and how to fix it.

➡️ Comment or DM the word “BREAKDOWN” to grab one of the spots before they’re gone.

Barbell athletes deserve better than “rest it,” generic rehab, or random mobility drills that don’t match the demands of your sport.

That’s why I’m launching Barbell Injury Breakdown — a weekly opportunity for TWO athletes to get a complimentary, barbell-specific injury assessment with me over Zoom.

No fluff. No guesswork. No cookie-cutter PT.

Just a clear, evidence-based breakdown of:
🔹 What’s actually causing your pain
🔹 How it’s affecting your lifts
🔹 What needs to change so you can train confidently again

If pain is limiting your squat, sn**ch, clean, jerk, deadlift, bench, or overhead work… this is your chance to take control of it.

Only 2 spots each week — first come, first served.
DM me the word “BREAKDOWN” or drop it in the comments below, and I’ll send you the link to schedule your FREE Barbell Injury Breakdown.

Let’s get you back to training at the level you’re capable of.

🔥 If your knees hurt every time you squat, run, jump, or even high-step… read this.
You don’t need more gimmicks. You don’t need another “quick fix.”
You need load.
Specifically: knee-extension based exercises that actually build capacity within the knee and the knee-extension musculature.
That’s the fix no one wants to hear… because it requires effort, consistency, and ownership.
But it’s also the one thing that actually works.

❌ What WON’T fix your knee pain long-term:
• Cupping
• Scraping
• Massage
• Dry needling
Cool sensations, zero durability.

If you want bulletproof knees, you have to EARN them.
Stop outsourcing your pain.
Start building the capacity your knees have been begging for.
Let’s go. 🔥🦵
