SHOW NOTES Brian Carroll is a lifting God… yes, he’s lifted more weights that you, me, your brother and my sister combined throughout his life but the value Brian is bring to the table in this podcast are bits of wisdoms he’s attend through lifting, lifting injuries and coming back as a world class athlete. When I started practice almost 10 years ago, I thought I knew enough about weightlifting to get people safely back to the sport they love… but I honestly didn’t. I knew about the basic stuff… The Posterior Chain Cross Syndrome Leg Day (joke) Graded Returns But I had no idea how to cue motion through compound lifts until I started to learn from Brian’s work. Some cues and drills even help me troubleshoot even with my exam. The Lifter’s Wedge Tension Unweighted Bar Movement I’ve interviewed Brian once before so listen to the other one (#63). WIthin this one you’re going to learn a ton, whether you’re a doc, athletes or coach. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge Brian! Quotes: Availability Supersedes Ability Common Sense is Not Always Common Practice I go there… turn on super strength and then turn it off The 1%ers are going to get strong despite if their methods Website: Powerrackstrength.com Brian Carroll Bio: Brian is world class powerlifter with over a decade of elite class powerlifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones and that most experts said he would never recover from, he has returned to the pinnacle of world class lifting (while 100% pain and symptom free) and is now dedicated to helping others avoid the same mistakes that he made in the past through private and group coaching. Brian’s impressive recovery has given him the opportunity to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches and experts from all facets of sport, on how to avoid injury, while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes. A competitive powerlifter since 1999, Brian Carroll is one of the most accomplished lifters in the history of the sport. Having lifted at the elite world-class level since 2005, Brian has well over a decade of world class lifting experience. He has totaled more than ten times his bodyweight in three different classes, and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two different classes. In his career, he’s totaled 2500 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes. Since 2005, even during his years of being injured, Brian has not slipped out of the top two in the American rankings in both the squat and total, and he’s been ranked number one in both categories, multiple times at 220, 242, and 275 pounds. With over 50 official competition squats over 1000, spread over three different weight classes, he’s indisputably one of the best lifters and in particular – squatters of all time. Most recently, post-recovery, he lifted a 2610 pound total at the 2015 Arnold Sports Festival, claiming the 242 open and overall titles, a 2651 total and overall win at the 2016 US Open, as well at the 2017 Arnold Sports festival, claiming, yet again, the 242 open and over title.

Dr. Stuart M. McGill is a professor emeritus of the University of Waterloo, where he was a professor for 32 years. His laboratory and experimental research clinic investigated issues related to the causal mechanisms of back pain, how to rehabilitate back-pained people and enhance both injury resilience and performance. Brian Carroll is world class powerlifter with over a decade of elite class lifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones and that most experts said he would never recover from, Brian returned to world class form and was able to establish a new world record for the squat at 1185 pounds all after his back injury. This interview tells the story of Brian’s injury and his journey back to health and elite performance with the help of Dr. McGill.

Interview Topics and Questions: Brian and Dr. McGill Who came up with the title "The Gift of Injury" and what's the meaning for each of you behind this title? What does being an athlete 24/7 mean? What's one piece of advice you both would give to our youth to better prepare them to strength train? Regardless of sport, why is it important to only compete at competitions a few times a year? What do we need to do to change the mindset of chasing reps and adding weight? This is not a mindset that athletes intuitively possess. Brian What does it mean to "Practice the way we plan to compete." and to "approach every lift with intent and meaning". The value and importance of assistance work. What do you look for when coaching an athlete and how to select the appropriate exercise. Your decision to retire and over the next several years lower your body weight. Dr. McGill Why "knee to chest" stretches and rolling around | use of a foam roller are not good for the back or performance? How the Big Three provides a stiffening, bracing effect for several hours after performing them reduces micro movements.

I can inject it with all kinds of Lidocaine and painkillers and everything, bandage it up, but until we address the gait problem that toe is never going to heal up because you keep picking the scab and stubbing it.I say it's no different with your back.If you're constantly causing the injury over and over, it doesn't matter what I shoot into it, it doesn't matter what we do to brace it, doesn't matter what we do until we address the issue and the injury mechanism and take that away -- and then we allow to rebuild athleticism. Who is Brian Carroll? Nick Ritchey: Brian embodies the saying, "it's not over until you quit."Three time World's Strongest Man, Bill Kazmaier, wrote the forward to his new book and says, My own mentor and former co-host, Chris Young, before he was taken away early by leukemia, called Brian a "true gentleman," and a lot of other good things back in Mighty Cast episode 107.Three things about Brian that stand out to me the most are that he has squatted over 1000 pounds in competition over 50 times. He has multiple world records in three different weight classes totaling over 10 times his body weight in power-lifting competitions. And Brian is chock full of wisdom. This Episode… In this interview we're going to cover Brian's transformation from the lowest of lows, to the highest of highs. From sitting in his car, considering eating a bullet, to getting pain free and stronger than ever.We're going to look at his book, the big ideas that you can take away from it, and the details that make a difference. Relevant at 19 or 91… We'll talk about a 90 year old woman that got to stay in her house because she was able to fix her back pain with some basic power lifting 101.And we're going to look at how this information has impacted both of our lives and leave you with some takeaways that can change your life for the better, forever, if you implement them. And now let's get to our guest.Hey Brian, how are you doing? 3 Years Later… Brian: I've been doing well Nick. Thanks for having me. It's been really right at three and a half years…Kind of hard to believe how fast time has flown.Hope everything's been well with you. Nick: Yeah. I don't know if you know, but last time you were my surprise birthday present. My birthday is on the 19th and you were on the show on the 17th. Brian: Oh really? So he surprised you with that. That's pretty cool. Nick: Yeah, definitely. I was tickled pink then, and when I saw your new book come out I was I was tickled pink again. So I'm looking forward to getting into that with you a bit today. Brian: Sounds good man, ready to do it. 2 Busted Vertebrae… Nick: Well, I think we should start off with what happened because I know you were starting the recovery process the last time we talked. You had some videos on YouTube with Dr. McGill. I was watching those and following your progress.We were all crossing our fingers rooting for you.But man, you had a hell of an injury, which the book goes into quite a bit.The book is "The Gift of Injury" by Brian Carroll and Dr. Stu McGill.
