đ¨Athlete Spotlightđ¨
As a telehealth PT and wellness coach, it isnât always the case that I get to see my clients in person. Fortunately, I was able to meet Jared through working out at the best powerlifting gym Iâve had the chance to be a part of,
When I met .jaredmartin we sparked a conversation about squatting, something he told me he hadnât been able to do in years due to back pain with any type of back squat. I learned he is a professional wrestler, and watched him throw around 100 pound dumbbells for RDLs like they were nothing, so I knew we could get him squatting.
Within the first session we worked on variations that allowed for increased load without reproduction of symptoms. Jared went from having pain with a 45 pound barbell squat to loading and squatting 143 pounds on a SSB for a 2 x 5.
This was a huge win in the first session, and I knew he was going to be squatting more than that in no time. đ¤
What I didnât realize was that he was going to load up 315 pounds within 3 weeks of working together. He put in the work, trusted the process, and saw the benefit in less than 3 weeks of working together.
Jared, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you and trusting me to rehab you. I have a feeling a 405 pound squat is in your near futuređŞ
