Training Through Injuries
The Ross Training blog post argues that injuries need not halt progress; instead, athletes should modify workouts to target unaffected muscle groups and overlooked weaknesses. It cites the author’s own calf injury in 2016 as proof that strategic, low‑impact activity can accelerate recovery. The piece stresses “intelligent stubbornness” – staying active without aggravating the injury – and warns against both reckless overtraining and complete inactivity. Ultimately, it frames setbacks as opportunities to build a more balanced, resilient physique.
