The Mindset Blueprint: How to Cultivate a Mindset That Improves Performance & Longevity

How To Train Around Back Pain (Without Making It Worse)

Back pain doesn't automatically mean you need to stop working out. In many cases, the better approach is learning how to modify your training so you can continue building strength while your symptoms improve. In this episode, I break down when it's appropriate to keep training, when you should seek medical evaluation, and the six training variables you can adjust to reduce stress on your lower back. We'll cover how to modify your load, volume, range of motion, tempo, exercise selection, and recovery so you can keep making progress instead of losing strength by sitting on the sidelines. You'll also learn how to safely progress back to heavier lifting and use your symptoms as feedback to determine whether your program is moving in the right direction. Whether you're dealing with occasional back pain from lifting or looking for a smarter way to stay active while recovering, this episode provides practical strategies you can apply immediately.

We'll cover how stronger calves, hamstrings, glutes, and hips all contribute to healthier knees, along with the most common mistakes to avoid and simple progressions you can use regardless of your experience level.
