Ep. 121 - When Lifting Hurts: Is It Your Form, Your Program, or Your Fuel?

Aches happen. Injuries happen. But getting hurt doesn’t always mean you did something wrong. In this episode of Strong & Sleek, Robert breaks down the factors that can affect injury risk in and out of the gym. He explains what good lifting technique means to him, why a standard squat stance won’t suit everyone, and how too much volume—or an unplanned max effort—can work against your training. He also looks at recovery, from eating enough to choosing exercises that fit your body. Whether you’re dealing with a recurring ache or trying to train more thoughtfully, Robert makes the case for paying attention to the individual behind the workout.
