You can keep building strength even when certain lifts are off the table.
In the video, I talk about how to continue training and maintain muscle mass when injuries make pushing or overhead work difficult. As we get older, the focus shifts toward smart exercise choices, joint-friendly loading, and finding ways to keep progressing without aggravating problem areas.
You can still train hard. You just have to train smart and work around what your body allows right now.
