#7 - Pain & Injuries in Barbell Training, Pt. 3 | Dealing with an Injury in the Moment

Barbell training injuries will happen no matter what because, as discussed in prior podcast episodes and articles, injury prevention is not a thing. So when barbell training injuries do happen, what is the athlete recovery process like? And how can we continue to train through the athlete recovery process?

 

In this episode of the PRS Podcast, Drs Rori Alter and Alyssa Haveson wrap up the barbell training series on pain and injuries to help barbell trainees and powerlifters get through the athlete recovery processes efficiently.

 

Dealing with a barbell training injury is frustrating and sometimes scary. But the most important thing to do at the moment is don’t panic! 

 

It’s easy to catastrophize the injury and dream up all sorts of things that might happen to your training… but a lot can change in the first 24-72 hours after a training injury.

 

While we must caveat any injury talk with “it depends,” often you can continue to get under the barbell in some capacity.

 

So in this episode of the PRS Podcast, we cover:

1. What to do if you experience symptoms or injuries in your barbell training session [00:16:38].
2. When you should see a doctor BEFORE a licensed rehab clinician [00:16:52], [00:21:49].
3. Why we need to ditch the RICE method [00:23:27].
4. A new way of addressing injuries with PEACE & LOVE [00:25:28].
5. Discuss the PRS algorithm for training with pain [00:32:37].
