Got to give some props to Kelly E who has been successfully training through and around a shoulder problem for the last couple months.
Kelly came into the gym about a year and a half ago and she came in here meaning business. An unfortunate right shoulder tweak mixed in with too much toughness caused a nagging pain to go on for the better part of a year.
Kelly finally decided that she’d had enough of pushing through the injury and that it was time to train smarter. She has been very successfully modifing around the ailment while focusing on the things she could do safely.
Kelly is jacked and tan and unstoppable. Here she is doing here version of 14.1. She may only get 30 DU’s credit on the Games leaderboard because she did one arm snatches on her good side, but she shes big points in our box for crushing her own version of the WOD and not letting an injured wing keep her down.
Kelly is healing up nicely with rest, mobility and some ART treatments, hasn’t lost any of her progress, and will likely even throw heavy shit overhead again in the near future.
Two take away points here.
-When your body is in pain, start taking care of it sooner rather than later. Do your mobility, visit the body work guru’s, and modify your movements. If you ignore that little nagging pain, it will get worse.
-Just because you hurt one of your hundreds of body parts doesn’t give you an excuse to stop training and to stop making progress. There are always things you can do, and determined individuals do not let injuries stand in the way of fitness.
