I have a bad knee from wrestling days, gave myself a hernia from wrestling, and messed my shoulder up from doing heavy shoulder workout lol.
What I've learned is to improvise. I squat on the Smith as a warm-up for hacks and leg press. I don't deadlift anymore but I kill it with rack pulls. Since I compete I cannot afford an injury. Which also makes it easy during the competition season not to ego lift. That's where stuff gets tore up. If I feel a tweak in a joint or muscle I figure an effective alternative or correct the movement. Can't get fresh trophies straight outta surgery.
