The Real Reason You Get Injured — And the Mindset Loop That Stops You Recovering

Most men who keep getting injured aren’t doing too much. They’re thinking about it wrong. In this episode, Luke breaks down the only real mechanism behind injury — load exceeding tissue capacity — and why blaming your shoes, your form, or your training style is keeping you stuck in a cycle that never ends. You’ll learn why running technique matters less than most people think, why the bodybuilder who gets injured switching styles wasn’t doing anything wrong, and why chasing niggles around your body without building a serious foundation is the actual problem. Then comes the part most coaches won’t touch: the fear avoidance cycle. The mindset pattern that turns a normal niggle into a movement phobia. The loop where pain → avoidance → deconditioning → more pain — and the way out of it. This one applies to every man in the community. Non-negotiable listen.
