Hype Video Recap from @odysseybarbellclub meet this past Saturday! S: 217.5kg/479.5lbs B: 130kg/286.6lbs D: 260kg/573.2lbs T: 607.5kg/1339lbs Big improvements from my first meet. I’m extremely blessed for the opportunity to put my hard work on display on the platform🙏🏻 I have lots of thoughts and reflections on this meet and all it took to get me to this point in my life. I’ll keep it brief. You are capable of so much more than you realize. The weight room helped me realize that. It showed me that I didn’t have to stay stuck where I was. It showed me that action is where we grow, not just running around in our heads. It gave me hope, and ultimately is what gave me my life back after nearly losing it when I was just a 17 year old kid. Onward. There’s still work to do. Absolutely fire videography on this. Much thanks to the awesome people below for their work🔥 📸/🎥 @weakboibinh @tanonscamera @bpham.lift taken in Odyssey Barbell Club, LLC by @mikemuls.dpt

I’m so passionate about this field because I’ve lived through and seen its results first hand. It wasn’t pretty. There was so much uncertainty. There were no magic pills. What made the difference. Patience. Consistency. Faith. And a fantastic group of family, friends, and professionals that wanted to see me win. Strength isn’t always about numbers on a bar. Sometimes it literally is about getting your life back… The lessons I’ve learned is why I do what I do now. Helping people rebuild and increase their capacity for the things they love. Because I know firsthand how much of a game changer it can be. by @mikemuls.dpt

10 thing I’ve learned after 2 years treating as a Physical Therapist🔥 I’ve worked in both 1-on-1 and higher volume settings. I’ve been licensed in multiple states. I’ve started my own business to further expand my reach and ability to connect and help people achieve their goals. I’ve met a whole lot of amazing people and had the privilege to help countless people regain trust and autonomy in their bodies again. Here are just a fraction of the lessons I’ve learned in my relatively short time as a licensed clinician. I want to share these lessons in the hopes that you can gain something positive from them and apply them into your own outlook as a healthcare provider. Looking forward to seeing what amazing experiences and opportunities year 3 will bring🙌🏻 by @mikemuls.dpt

Why wouldn’t you bench as frequently as possible (while adequately recovering of course) if your sport calls for being better at the bench press? Almost everyone can handle benching 3x per week when programmed correctly and properly introduced. Often times this additional session alone helps break through long lasting plateaus in an athlete’s pressing strength. The more frequently you can practice a pattern and build on it, the better. Balancing session intensity, total volume, and frequency is key. by @mikemuls.dpt

Taking a note out of the @orthogirls_lexandsab textbook and showcasing a simple and effective method of taping to help support a patients lateral ankle after an ATFL repair!🙌🏻🔥 Giving patients additional confidence and support outside of the clinic is one of the many ways we can help patients feel their best while they recover and get them back to doing what they love as soon as possible‼️ taken in Alliance Orthopedics by @mikemuls.dpt

After breaking both my heels I encountered many issues. One of them being that my legs got extremely weak and atrophied. This was so severe to the point I struggled to get up off the floor when I finally was cleared for full weight bearing. My approach to building myself up to eventually squatting 480lbs wasn’t some unheard of secret method. It was basic, well structured, and committed resistance training repeated for a hell of a long time. So many people do not start their journey because they do not believe they have the capacity to actually change. They see people like me and think I got lucky or don’t believe that I was once 135lbs in a wheelchair until I show them proof. I worked for this level of progress… and you can too. My life mission has been to help other people realize this fact and actually take action toward it. That’s fundamentally why I became a physical therapist and strength coach. No matter the odds. You can change. You can win. WE WILL WIN. by @mikemuls.dpt

“I’ve tried everything to fix my low back pain!!!” Have you though? Sometimes the way out is through. Especially for flexion based athletes… sometimes spamming spine extension at appropriate levels is actually a great way to counter and strengthen our ability to tolerate flexion based positions and loading strategies. I also think there is a misconception that rehab and recovery always looks like low intensity and “foundational” exercises and corrections when that really is just a small piece to the puzzle of getting someone back to doing hard shit again. Sometimes chasing a fat low back pump is indicated to get you back in the arena. Let me know what you think. WE WILL WIN. by @mikemuls.dpt

If you can’t stand on one leg, that’s a pretty big problem. Even people who train super hard and compete regularly often can’t manage their center of mass well on a single leg. This is leaving doors open for compensations and inefficiencies when you ask your body to perform at a high level that CAN lead to issues eventually. Stability is also extremely slept on in the world of overcoming chronic pain. A nervous system that doesn’t feel safe on one leg can quickly turn into one that doesn’t feel safe on two legs. Stability is real. Work on it. We will win. by @mikemuls.dpt

Something is better than nothing. When you’re dealing with pain, it’s easy to fixate on what you can’t do. The lift you have to skip, the weight you have to drop, the movement that used to feel smooth and effortless. But sitting in that mindset can do more damage than the actual injury itself sometimes. The hard truth is - there ALMOST always is a way to keep training. Modify the movement (back squat for belt squat for example), incorporate new exercises/patterns, take the load off the bar or movement. Whatever it takes to keep moving forward instead of hitting pause completely. I get that this hits different if you’re a strength athlete. When your sport is built around specific lifts, “just modify it” can feel like it’s not enough, or like it doesn’t actually help get you back to the desired exercise. But even then, the goal should be the same. Protect your ability to keep building somewhere relevant instead of losing more ground while you wait to feel 100%. Staying in the game, even a modified version of it, beats stepping away entirely. When training doesn’t look exactly the way you want it to - focus on what you still can do! We will win. taken in Alliance Performance by @mikemuls.dpt

It’s okay to rest 1-3 days after an acute tendinopathy flare up. After this time period however, if we continue to avoid loading the pathological tendon we are going to be doing ourselves more harm than good. The key is to introduce the right amount of load at the right intensity to limit/manage symptoms and begin providing a stimulus to the tendon to adapt favorably. The following rules are just that, rules. These aren’t guarantees that will 100% help your specific individual case. They certainly will not be superior to seeking direct care from a Doctor of Physical Therapy (such as myself🤠) who can take all of your symptoms into context and provide a structured path out of your pain. Generally my approach to tendinopathy is as follow: 1) Introduce load isometrically or at lower intensity levels to your tolerance. 2) Explore unilateral strength and control. If there is a clear stability deficit on the pathological side this is 1000% worth exploring further 3) Are other muscle groups not showing up when they need to? Strengthening around the tendon in question can be a great way to address a tendon that has been asked to take on more than it can handle 4) Keep training pain free patterns as per usual! Do not let pain keep you from progressing elsewhere in your training As always, any questions just reach out. We will win. by @mikemuls.dpt
