If you’ve ever been told you can’t deadlift again after a back injury — this episode is for you.

I break down why so many people get stuck in fear after a disc herniation, how back pain can take over your identity, and what it actually looks like to rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in your body. I talk about why disc herniations aren’t permanent, the real reason people stay in pain for years, and how to safely get back to deadlifting again — even if you’ve been avoiding it for months.

You’ll also hear the one rehab principle I use with every single patient and how I decide where to start based on both pain and strength.
