Since technique discussion aside, none of what you said addresses the coach's clear lack of ability to actually see her lifter's movement and my mixed frustration and wonderment at that, and instead non-sequiturs to attacking me instead, I read the tone of your comments as snarky, implying that in my arrogance I think I know everything and thus refuse to learn the lessons necessary and the injuries are self inflicted and could be avoided if I'd only look outside my SS echo chamber.
That said, if you follow me enough to know that this injury isn't isolated but that I have, in fact, been frequently injured, then I assume you also follow me enough to know that I have consulted about this with and/or received treatment from:
* Over a dozen PTs and chiros, some of whom work with the traditional models, many of whom are lifters or crossfitters and/or primarily or largely treat lifters or crossfitters, and several of whom work within the currently surging biopsychosocial model.
* About half a dozen MDs, one of whom may or may not have been an SSC not too long ago, who is well known for his well received materials on pain.
* A number of massage/soft tissue workers and specialists, acupuncturists and others from a more eastern tradition.
* A number of other coaches and lifters within the strength world: gymnastics, crossfit, olympic lifting, powerlifting - some of whom coach many medal winners, some of whom have medaled themselves (in case that's something that you see as important).
So far, none of those treatments have been efficacious, and none of the advice offered or rehab/homework done has really helped. These cocaine deadlifts are the first thing that's made a dent, more in 3 days than everything else over about the last 8 years.
There are other discussions I've had on this log about this very issue that are relevant and may shed some light on other possible physiological and anthropometric factors, as well as the simple but interesting observation that I have coached thousands of people using the same principles I use myself, and not a single one has had even 10% the injury history list that I do, which is suggestive in itself.
I doubt anything I'll say here will change your mind or attitude, but at the core of what I interpret of your snarky comment is a fair and valid question about why I get injured so much. So in case any readers of good will and open mind are wondering that, which is a fair thing to wonder and question, this is a partial reply. I don't have time to dig up and find all of the discussions I've had about it in this log over the last 7.5 years, but there are many, it's not something I haven't thought a lot about and addressed.
So, Chris: What do you suggest? What's your brilliant solution that the PTs, Chiros, MDs, massage therapists, olympic, powerlifting, and strength coaches haven't proffered? Do you want to take into account that I was by far the most oft-injured person on every team throughout my 4 years of high school sports before I ever lifted a barbell (excepting bench press my senior year)? Or that I have a condition in both knees that's rare to have in even one knee, even more so when there was no traumatic mechanism?
I think you just want to be snarky and assume I'm arrogant and refuse to learn any new things that might help. You might assume that no matter what, because of people you associate me with, and I DO certainly have a stubborn streak and some of the issues I've had in the past were because I refused to learn from my mistakes or from other people. But it's been a long time since that was the case.
Be well, Chris.
