Training Lab · injury modifications

Training around an issue.

Where members discuss how they're modifying training around niggles, returns from injury, or chronic issues. Not medical advice. Diagnosis and treatment go to a physio. This room is for training adaptation, what loads to scale back, what stimulus to substitute, when to push back into the work.

Important · this is not a medical room

LimiterIQ does not diagnose injuries. If something is painful enough that you're worried, see a physio, every member I respect has a regular physio. This room is for the next layer: "Given my physio said X, how do I keep training?" Share what your physio cleared you for, what's helping, what you're substituting. Coaches help with training adaptation. They don't diagnose. If pain is changing how you move, stop and get an opinion.

Right Achilles 2/10 · today

Achilles flag this week. 2/10 right side, came on during Tuesday's sled session. Reduced sled load 60→50%, kept lunges, easy run instead of hard run on Saturday. Plan auto-adjusted the next week. Curious how others manage low-grade Achilles stuff, is it 'train through carefully' or 'pull right back'?

Below 3/10, monitor and modify load. Above 3/10 or rising, see a physio, we're a training platform, not a clinic. For Achilles specifically: keep eccentric calf loading (slow tempo calf raises) in the modification, those actually help low-grade tendon stuff. Avoid heavy plyometrics for 7-14 days. If 2/10 stays for 3+ weeks without resolution, that's the physio conversation.

Shoulder tendinopathy · 6 weeks ago

Came back from 6 weeks off for shoulder tendinopathy. Question for the room: when do you trust the wall balls again? Currently doing modified low-target work but I miss the real thing.

Knee from old injury · 3 days ago

Old ACL repair (2018). Plan generation flagged me as 'protect lateral knee movement' and I've been doing modified lunges (forward only, no reverse) for 3 weeks. What surprised me: forward-lunge specificity actually improved my single-leg power more than mixing in reverse lunges did. The constraint became the focus.
