Dr. Layne Norton

learning that I don't have to stop doing what I'm doing.

I just need to try and adjust it a little bit.

So I had that a few weeks ago.

So I'll go, okay, I'm going to stop above, just like right above parallel.

I'm going to do a slow tempo and I'm going to slow down the ascent of my squat.

And I was able to keep squatting.

Right.

And now it's been getting better.

I anticipate within a few weeks, I'll be kind of back to normal.

And then again, before nationals this year, I was hitting a set of 590 for a triple on squats.

And on the third rep, I felt my adductor like tweak.

And I was supposed to do back offsets after that.

I loaded my sets for back offs.

And then I unloaded the entire bar and I was like, I can't win nationals today.

And there's like six weeks out from nationals.

But I went over to a belt squat and I'm like, okay, can I get in a position here?

If you ever used a belt squat, you can play around a lot more with like your foot position and whatnot.

Can I get in a position here where I can do a squat movement with, you know, not aggravating it?

I could.

And then I, again, I found that like below parallel was aggravating for that.
