From the publisher

Train strong for a lifetime without training hurt.

Pain is a poor coach, yet the common advice "if it hurts, don't do it" leaves lifters feeling stuck, confused, and unsure if you can continue training.

Rock Solid Resilience teaches you to build a unique resistance training program based on how you move, your stage of training, and your individual goals--all so you can reduce injury risk, manage pain, and build the resilience to strength train for a lifetime.

This practical guide equips you with knowledge about how injuries happen and what you can do to prevent them before they interrupt your training. Instead of forcing yourself through pain, you'll learn to determine whether an injury can heal with rest, if adjustments can be made to movements, load, or volume to safely keep going, or if you should consult a medical professional.

A guided self-assessment helps you identify your strengths and vulnerabilities, allowing you to match your training approach to the proper difficulty level and progression. Overviews of foundational movements--including squats, deadlifts, pushes, and pulls--are broken down with variations and joint-friendly options, making them safer and more effective for specific needs:

  • 6 variations on the squat with modification tips to protect the knees, back, and hips
  • 10 variations on pressing and pulling movements that protect the shoulders, upper back, and chest
  • 18 variations of core movements for building stability and strength, and enable progression for other exercises
  • 34 warm-ups, level-up, and accessory exercises that provide progressions and regressions to avoid plateaus, support improved movement quality, and deliver results


Create a personalized program that prioritizes injury prevention, allowing you to challenge yourself without constantly being set back by pain.

Three sample workouts are included, ready to use or to adapt to meet your own needs, experience level, and injury history.

Rock Solid Resilience isn't a short-term program; it's a lifelong strategy for lifting strong, confident, and pain-aware. Learn to listen to your body and train for strength for decades to come.
