My next Mid-Life Crisis

[PizzaDad]

What kind of pain level does this generate? I'm assuming the point of the star protocol is to aggravate the hell out of the injury, which promotes healing.
Do you modulate the pain level with volume? How do you not just dread this workout? I've never had to use this, but I've done plenty
of other rehabs. I guess I find this particular one terrifying, even though it makes sense. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong. Good luck!

When you get the area warmed up and lots of
Blood flow with what feels like as much load as it can handle, it feels like a deep pinch. But it doeant feel like its gonna tear loose, just really uncomfortable. You sweat more than normal and breath like you are doing windsprints.
But at my age, the biggest challenge is my knees. They hurt when I start, take half the workout to warm ip and stop hurting and then half an jour after, they hurt again. Too much volume.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

good stuff! since Lent is over is it ok for me to be insanely jealous of your home gym again? asking for a friend

[Cheesepuff]

I have a friend who's insanely jealous of those rehab lifts. Just saying.

[PizzaDad]

I appreciate the support. I need to get my butt downstairs and lift. I had great success on the house this weekend and this evening I did my grocery shopping. By the time I got home I was tired and lazy. So I drank wine and ate nachos instead

Squat today, worked up to 205x4x8. Didn't deadlift because I changed and went outside to get rocks out of an old fallen chimney and moving them is like a max effort deadlift. Just flipping some over to move into a position for the tractor takes everything I have.
