Squatting Heavy Post Surgery | Paying the Man Ep.017

[@JDNico71]

Bouncing back. My 14 year old son just suffered a season ending baseball injury to his hip. I'm showing him your last few episodes to get him to understand how to put in the time (physically and mentally) to come back stronger. Thanks for the motivation. PTM!

[@iammoose4349]

For some reason I just really enjoy watching this series, very entertaining. Thanks

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea, appreciate it

[@marcusmayol7003]

When I need inspiration Josh Bridges never let's me down seeing him go through pain and suffering makes me think anyone can do it...Thank you Josh am watching all your commercials on your videos so they can pay the man 😊

[@JoshBridges]

You got it Marcus. Appreciate it man.

[@noway2836]

Keep pushing brother. Your motivation drives the masses. Happy Easter to the Bridges fam.

[@JoshBridges]

Appreciate it man, keep at it

[@erasmoflores2840]

It is really gratifying to know that there are high performance athletes like you who after a knee operation or any type of operation can return to train in such a strong way and at the same time be humble of heart as you are. greeting from Mexico, I'm a big fan of yours.

[@steveadkisson2921]

Josh,s recovery cycle is every surgeons dream. I can’t tell you how many people sit around not moving post op. These people inevitably suffer post operative complications that the lack of movement causes. DVT, pulmonary embolism, infection and loss of range or function to name a few. Josh I have truly appreciated your approach to healing, well done .....but hey are we surprised?....NO cuz he pays the man.

[@jabirmoses]

I said it once and I'll say it again. Sundays are slowly becoming my favorite day. I am on your training program and recently started doing the military stuff. Would love to do the comp stuff someday but my job (chef) doesn't allow me to. So seeing this on a Sunday really gets me amped for the week to come. Thank you for being a straight up biscuit. *south African slang for awesome*

[@JoshBridges]

Thats how we do it Jabir. Appreciate it man, get after it

[@nadegeleveque7884]

You rocked guys . Great to see you back on track, with a motivated partner . congrats to both of you :))

[@viintaget]

The most relatable athlete out on KZbin.. enjoyed watching you struggle for a few reps because it’s realistic and raw ! Great workout. Keep the stache!

[@JoshBridges]

You got it. Appreciate the support.

[@jamesconroy5243]

So valuable! I’m just now starting to think about doing some real exercise 6 weeks after total hip replacement. Having never gone through anything like this before it’s so helpful seeing how you’re easing back into things. Of course I’ll be scaling things appropriately to fit the recovery of a masters athlete with two years of CrossFit experience who’s simply looking to optimize health and wellness! 👊

[@JoshBridges]

Get after it James. Appreciate the support.

[@jpeeps76]

I had a pretty nasty knee injury (broken and dislocated patella) and I still hit the gym...albeit seated or laying down for every exercise. These training through injury episodes really brought back some memories of how creative I would get with workouts. Keep getting after it!

[@EQuo26]

OOOHHHWWWEEE! Fresh cut, looking sharp my good dude! Keep crushing it man. I went into the box today after some killer back muscle spasms last week... nothing compared to your knee surgery but getting back in their and paying the man is what it's all about.

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea Jonathan. Appreciate the support

[@batyabun5745]

Happy for your knee, you are my motivation! Happy Easter 🐣

Hey brother just wanted to let you know you’re a huge inspiration, just recovered from an inguinal hernia from a bodybuilding/power lifting style of training but you motivated me to start CrossFit. I will be starting my journey shortly after I get my approval from the Doc thanks brother. Time to pay the man!

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea Esteban, keep at it. Appreciate it man.

[@whitakermatthew2118]

Hell yea bro, glad to see you getting better and testing your limits. Keep it going. #paytheman

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea man

[@garybanford8850]

Happy Easter, love the idea of sticking a second movement in between sets, not just as an EMOM. I might look to add in some upper body every time when doing squat or dead's. Keep up the hard work.

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea Gary. Thanks brother.

[@Phil5150Bower]

Great video as usual, awesome to see you squatting again bro 🤙🏻

[@neymedeiros5014]

[@tommorrissey1619]

[@JoshBridges]

Tom Morrissey get after it brother

[@myront.miller6868]

Killing it!!! What are the benefits of the Ski Erg? I got my Concept2 for Christmas!!! Its been good to me. I have a bike attached to a trainer and a treadmill. Needless to say the treadmill has played third fiddle to the two lately.

[@afrancisco8204]

Go hard or go home! Love it!

[@mariofuentes9929]

Gonna try that on my ski 💪💪💪 keep killing it Josh !

[@JoshBridges]

Get after it Mario

[@nicholascecil5880]

[@JoshBridges]

Nicholas thanks

[@brentwaldrop5610]

You need to take off that restrictor plate on your ski erg. Makes it harder!

[@mpbeautyinsight]

The Rogue Monolift is one cool piece of equipment! Adding it to my .. lengthy .. wish list :-)

[@philmarsh2903]

Squats and press are the best #paytheman

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yea Phil

[@iron_caleb]

I have to ask: what kind of dog do you have? I see her in all your videos & she seems like such a great dog. Thanks for the videos, they have a lot of great content. Keep pushing!

[@boxscorefitness4590]

Love these videos Josh. What's the end game goal? Would you like to make it back to the games? Masters? Sanctioned events in 2020? Great content as always!

[@Apolicemanslife]

Good to see you fighting back

[@JoshBridges]

Appreciate it

[@michaelmabe8944]

Thanks for the video, Josh. Quick question: in your experience when it comes to strength training, where is the threshold between strength training and conditioning? (For instance, the skier is obviously conditioning and heavy squats are strength. However, where is the threshold between those two). I hope that question makes sense. Thank you for everything!

[@jka461]

Hey Josh, nice videos. At the start of your workouts you stretch, is that not bad for the muscle to stretch it when you're still cold - risk of pulling something? Roller should loosen the tightness but I've always been thought/told to warm up first then light stretch as muscle got some blood flow and loosening. Chrs!

[@michaelkraemer5465]

Badass Josh. You inspired me to become a navy seal after high school.

[@JoshBridges]

Michael Kraemer Hell Yeah brother

[@brucehallmighty]

Hey JB - started doing cold tubs and it was a miserable and wonderful experience. Life started getting in the way and I noticed myself saying "eh I don't need to do it today" or just wouldn't. How do you stay motivated? I don't think it's the temp deterring me, it's just another thing to do, especially when I have to be awake at 4am some days. I know how beneficial they are for mental strength and some health benefits too, but need to find a way to do it every day. What do you suggest?

[@shay9732]

Can we get a repeat of the “bro session” you did with dan bailey in the garage all those years ago on crossfit’s channel!?

[@ewencsmith18]

Awesome stuff man. Gettin strong again. You recommend the same weight for both the squats and bench?

[@thebisciouts]

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for the support brother

[@iainrobin6314]

"Rebuilding Bridges"

[@DonsAdventures]

Rogue squat bar holders look weird . Not sure the purpose between that and traditional bar holders.

[@eddybax1]

Josh love your videos and love watching you without a shirt, but when it comes to backsquats I always wear a shirt. Just feels better to me. Good luck and happy Easter!

[@petterkauppi9692]

Looking fresh!

[@OrangeSunset182]

What’s the stretching warm up you used in the beginning??

[@spinagesmoke]

Was it gowod? I use romwod, works for me! Good luck

[@nat_hemp7196]

I think he covers that same routine, in depth, in a previous video about warmup or mobility.

[@punkcrudos]

how did u split up the intervalls at the ski erg? changing every 30 sec?

[@q8ssx]

From where you got the rest straps ?

[@Carlitoooification]

[@amosmoses4910]

Well I'm currently screwed. I don't know if you remember or not but I had umbilical hernia surgery about a month ago and the surgeon had to go in again this past Thursday. Do you have any advice on how to recover from this?

[@jock90000]

Whouaou I am really impressed by the draw you have on the skierg. How much is your draw (2500Cal / h)

[@jaygonzales3313]

His recovery weight is close to my 1RM. Insane bro

[@maxsnatch1420]

1600-1700....i can barely hold 1300 for 15 secondes... Cool video as usual !

[@TimRogers81]

16-1700 damn son. That’s moving fastest I think I’ve gotten was 1500 and that was only for like 3 pulls😂😂👊🏼. Solid work. One day I’ll get there

[@JoshBridges]

Tim Rogers Hell yeah, get after it

[@bhaskarjyabaruah1090]

New haircut 🔥

[@TheJohnnystockman]

Weird question. Are those just regular Nike wrist bands or they actual wraps?

[@JoshBridges]

Sweat bands

[@TheJohnnystockman]

Josh Bridges thanks! Keep kicking ass with the recovery.

[@AmitChauhan-ly9we]

Welcome back after knee surgery 💪🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@JoshBridges]

Appreciate it man

[@tiagoluzes6820]

Do you think is possible to have a crossfit carreer?

[@steveno1979]

Is it better to do box squats post-surgery or full-depth squats?
