I think it would make sense to share our experience of dealing with injury.
Any prehab/rehab advises, drills and psychological approach might be helpful.
Here is my 2c for the start...
- Pain is not OK. If you feel pain during your training - STOP.
- Don't train if you are injured. Don't think: "It'll go away on its own. I need to push anyway"
- RICE is your friend. Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. As a first respond.
- Don't ignore your body signals. You might be moving toward the injury. Pay attention to your feeling with exercise.
- Technique is more important than load on your bar. Mind your form with the exercise.
- Warm up. Cool down.
- Learn how to do self-massage: trigger point, lacrosse ball, foam roll. 2-3 min a day can help a lot.
- Mobility, mobility, mobility. Simple drill can save you.
- Don't over-stretch. You should be flexible enough to do what you need to do. That's about it.
- Being on calorie deficit can make you easy target for injury. Eat well.
- Don't hesitate step back and take extra day off or deload. It is better to be safe than sorry.
- Don't over-push. Small steady progress is the smart way of training.
- Have fun after all. It is your life
