Returned to Powerlifting after injury — the comeback experience

I'd been training Powerlifting for two years when I picked up an injury that kept me out for four months. Coming back was harder mentally than physically. My hip hinge had regressed and RPE-based programming I'd taken for granted needed rebuilding.

how the big three build total-body strength was what brought me back to myself — about six weeks into the comeback. learning to brace and Valsalva properly was a greater factor in the comeback phase than it had been before injury. I'm now back to pre-injury level and training smarter. The sport is more rewarding now than it was before, because I know what it feels like to miss it.
