The noise doesn’t go away just because you stop giving into compulsions.

For OCD Awareness Week, I wanted to show what that daily endurance actually looks like. Living with OCD means constantly making a conscious choice of choosing courage in the invisible moments so you can keep living aligned with your values instead of letting fear call the shots.

Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

Most athletes don’t burn out from training.
They burn out from identity overload.

When your entire sense of self is tied to your sport, every win feels like validation… and every loss feels personal.

That’s where mental fatigue really shows up.

I use the MVP framework with my athletes:
Mission. Vision. Principles.

Because when you know who you are outside of sport, you perform better inside of it.

And if you’re dealing with something deeper mentally, I’m not here to pretend I have all the answers.

But I will make sure you get connected to someone who can help.

That’s the ME mindset:
You matter.

Stay locked in. 🤝

There are no bad exercises.

Only bad programming.

I’ve stood on this hill for over a decade (although these days Instagram is trying me 🙄 )

I recently posted a video explaining the importance of building resilience - not “avoidance behavior”

The glute-ham developer (GHD) is a feared piece of equipment due to its unique ability to isolate the posterior chain in what looks to be a very stressful position for the low back.

A challenging exercise. But by no means dangerous. In fact we use these exercise as a test for back extensor endurance which helps us gauge a patients baseline back strength (SEE PREVIOUS POST)

Stress and strain can be good things. It’s how we adapt and build. It provides feedback to not only our musculoskeletal system but as well as our nervous system.

Exposure therapy is a well known psychological treatment that helps confront and overcome fears.

In PT we used a similar strategy called “graded exposure”. We micro-dose stress to the system in scalable ways to allow physical and mental boxes to be checked ☑️

This is what I mean when I say “earn your progressions”.

We don’t demonize a movement or exercise. We instead ask “why” the injury occurred. Often times we were simply underprepared, undertrained. This can occur at ANY level of athletics and competition.

🎥 here is an example of our “exposure therapy”

As the slides progress, so does the difficulty.

▶️ SAVE THIS POST

Try it at the gym, see which progression recreates pain or is excessively challenging. That’s your starting point. We don’t skip steps, you earn it.

⏰ it takes time to review a patients workout and analyze where it went wrong

🏋️‍♂️ it takes someone who understands your sport to speak your language and knows your goals

🙏 it takes effort to explain the complexities of your situation and guide you every step of the way.

At @coast2coast_pt we’re here for it
