Invidious

I thought I'd share my journey over the last 15ish years with you.
-
When I was young and dumb (at 20) I trained with a TON of intensity, but had no knowledge of corrective exercise, bio mechanics, anatomy, or optimal recovery.
-
I was strong but also riddled with imbalances. This was 1 year before I tore my labrum, had surgery, which altered my life path significantly.
-
When I was 26 I was already teaching corrective exercise. My body no longer hurt everywhere, but I was very deconditioned (sorta fat/soft) and had a whack haircut (not sure what was going on then haha).
-
I was stuck in the corrective exercise "hole" pursuing "perfect" mechanics and sorta afraid to lift heavy and train intensely.
-
Now at 34 I have the best of both worlds. I'm able to train with a ton of intensity without injuring myself.
-
I talk about this a lot, but the key is integrating corrective movements, mobility work, and optimizing recovery.

Very inspiring, thank you for sharing ! May I ask what caused the tear, and a bit more specifically what you would recommend for it not to happen? You looked like you were in awesome shape. Did you feel the imbalances in any way, or was the tear a total surprise? Had you pushed yourself to train with pain, prior to the tear?
