Training Through Injury: Limitations | Paying the Man Ep.013

[@baylorcowboy117]

So inspiring. I posted a couple weeks ago on another video about applying for SEAL Officer. Well, at 33 years old I just found today that I received an invitation to attend the SEAL Officer Assessment and Selection (SOAS) course this summer as a lateral (from the Navy reserves) candidate. Not letting those who doubt my ability to survive at my age limit me with their limitations for themselves. Just know that a rusty 33 year old SEAL officer candidate is watching your videos each week and finding motivation to keep the fight/dream alive. With your help I've already made it farther than most told me I would.

[@squidvicious944]

My uncle broke his back and they told him he would never walk again. He told them he would and re-taught himself how to walk. You're only held back by your own beliefs and mindset.

[@JoshBridges]

Listen to yourself, focus on what you can control

[@jabirmoses]

Sundays are one of my favorite why? 1. The man post a fresh KZbin video, 2. The new JB workout program me gets released too talk about getting me pumped for the new week and an excellent end to one all rolled into one day

[@JoshBridges]

Jabir Moses Hell yeah

[@ianbutton777]

Hi Josh, had the pleasure meeting and training with you in Manchester with the Good Dudes shortly before my heart procedure. I was told 3-6 months recovery by my doctors, my surgeon said with me being in good shape 6 weeks was possible......stayed sensible and was back in 6 weeks. Would have loved having these videos during my recovery, totally inspirational. Good luck and hopefully get to meet you again in the future.

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for all the support

[@shay9732]

Gotta get a podcast going man! People are consuming that content to an insane degree because you can drive, train, cook etc whilst listening. Would love to see you get on that

[@JoshBridges]

Coming out with one soon

[@irchauch9147]

Warrior Mindset. Won't succumb to the enemy. Ya got a community across the country rooting for ya.

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks brother

[@graydayfitnessnutrition5099]

To see this go up right before i leave for the gym... it delayed me leaving to the gym cause i needed the hype that your content provides me and many others. #paytheman

[@JoshBridges]

Haha hell yeah

[@scottsummers3868]

I actually watch your videos as motivation through the misery of my injuries and the uncertainty of what I can handle anymore. Now I do long walks, take things slowly. I wish I had your height, it seems like taller people get injured so much easier.

[@Ponga91]

Thank you Josh for posting these contents. I'm recovering from an adductor tendon tear and watching at your videos everyday. Since I suffered depression for other injuries in the past, listening to your mentality speech keeps me motivated and pushes me to keep training. I stole your workouts as well. Thank you Josh, big fan of yourself, can't wait to see you back on competition!

[@cheriseelliott9230]

I’m heading into surgery in half an hour. Just had to get one more workout in and watch Josh Bridges pay the man first. Thank you for your hard work, insight, and example.

[@JoshBridges]

Good luck with the surgery, glad to hear these videos help

[@aaronhigdon952]

I have only been in CrossFit for a few months. In that time I am growing more confident not inly in the gym but in my daily life both work and personal. I really appreciate you for sharing your recovery journey and your insists in fitness.

[@nadegeleveque7884]

Thank you for taking us upgrade to our actual level . Your mindset is such a great example

[@kmusgrat]

Hi Josh been catching paying the man as I am able Working through injury can be tough,especially for those who are used to being active I think it's cool to see an athlete who's well known display the ability to step back,adapt to what you can do for the time being, and keep getting after it. We often see athletes at their peak, or after they have recovered from a set back. Rarely do we see them recording and posting the process. You mention being aggressive in your goals. I've heard it said the truest max effort may be the one you fail. It doesn't mean you will always fail. So you gotta keep tryin & not be afraid to come up short on occasion . Keep up the good work

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for the support

[@onnol917]

Gives great inspirational advice surrounded by beautiful birdsounds for that zen vibe with the sounds of iron in the background because it is time to put in the work

[@JoshBridges]

Haha hell yeah

[@MrGuanum]

Hola Josh, feel happy seeing u recovery so fast, ist a long way man, im preety sure u will learn a lot from this, thanks for share this with us, big hugh man U inspired us all

[@JoshBridges]

MrGuanum thanks for following along, glad it’s been helpful

[@jeremyphillips8550]

That mind set is why I watch these videos. I have always dealt with stupid people telling what I can and can’t do. Or because they can’t do it then I shouldn’t be able to do it. Whether it is education or physical abilities. I grew up with allergies, asthma, epilepsy and the best days are proving those people wrong and making them look stupid. Had car accident last year and now have 3 herniated discs. Found a routine of good core exercises and now I am doing better than those who don’t push themselves.

[@JoshBridges]

Jeremy Phillips glad to hear it, thanks for watching brother

[@yohailaromeilon8625]

I hope and pray for your fast recovery. Respect.

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for the support

[@whitakermatthew2118]

Hey Josh, great words of wisdom brother, I just recently did a 4 mile ruck run where I fell and skinned my shin, that I did not know was covered in blood. I just kept remembering that if there's a little pain, go through it. Don't let it win. Paying the man in blood and sweat.

[@JoshBridges]

Spartan Matt25 Hell yeah

[@allysonstuckless6719]

I think this one is my favorite so far. I've always been fueled by people telling me that I can't do something. MUST PROVE THEM WRONG!! And it's awesome to see you out of that brace and squatting again! 😊

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yeah it feels awesome, glad you enjoyed the episode

[@jacek.burchardt]

Well done ! Amazing how quickly you are recovering ! "get smth you wanna get, don't let people you can't do it, prove them wrong " 100 % agree, one of the most important thing when you try achieve something #paytheman

[@JoshBridges]

Always. Focus on yourself and what you can control

[@buddypop9358]

Great advise, I live by those words to overcome a couple diagnoses that most think are an impediment.

[@JoshBridges]

Get after it brother

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yeah

[@michaelmabe8944]

Good to see you down to one crutch, Josh! Keep it up. As you can see, you have a community here that is rooting for you the whole way man. Quick question... you were talking about having crazy goals and NOT listening to discouragement; that if you want it, you should go for it. My question is this: you are coming off an injury and are getting into your late thirties. Are you still aiming for a CrossFit championship? I certainly hope so. It would be awesome to see someone overcome obstacles others may regard as insurmountable.

[@JoshBridges]

Michael Mabe always the goal

[@michaelmabe8944]

Josh Bridges I’m glad to hear that! You got this man!!

[@JoshBridges]

My goal is to compete in 2020

[@CR9vapor]

It's good to see you squat again Josh ! I really hated the ending part .because its...ending :( :D :D .. I need to watch again ! Have a nice day ! #PayTheMan

[@bobbypalmer9697]

Hey Josh, love your videos! Quick question on the ice baths. Are you still doing them post op what with your knee? If not could you do a quick video on what you’re doing for your rehab work outside of training around the injury? Thanks brah!

[@JoshBridges]

Always

[@shootypower3744]

Hell yea brother! That quiet game shit was cracking me up haha

[@JoshBridges]

Haha best part

[@issaelgonzalez3028]

I never comment but your advice about going after your goals no matter how crazy really struck me man. I’ve wanted to go into SOF since watching that Class 234 documentary. But I’m not anything special. In fact, I’m pretty average, even below average at most things. So when I’ve told people my goal they looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead. Forget them. I just put in the work that’s required every day. Again, thanks, I hope you recover soon from your injury.

[@JoshBridges]

Focus on what you can control, shut out everything else

[@TehOnlyLight]

Great speech 👌🏻

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for watching

[@fhardy66]

Keep grinding bro! Regarding your 5 essential gym pieces: 1) why echo bike over assault bike? 2) what kind of yolk do you recommend?

[@JoshBridges]

Frank Hardy echo bike is a little sturdier, any rogue yoke will get the job done

[@MrMjb1987]

Prove them wrong! Pay the man!

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yeah

[@philmarsh2903]

Good banter with the boys 😂😂😂

[@JoshBridges]

Always

[@mpbeautyinsight]

Aw, your puppy adores you

[@lemegipto9251]

I wish I saw this before my workout this morning. Thanks for the pep talk. I'll push my mobility exercises tomorrow. It's hard not to get down when you're limited physically. #rupturedpatellartendonrehab

[@JoshBridges]

Keep on pushing through it

[@lemegipto9251]

Thanks man. I just got to 90 degrees a few minutes ago.

[@josephminjares5260]

glad you finally got to squat bro.

[@JoshBridges]

Joseph Minjares feels great

[@geranimo155]

Just had knee surgery. Was curious about the sleeve you have on your knee. What kind is it and where can I get one?

[@luisanafaria4441]

I ❤️ !!!!!

[@lukecheney3417]

Gym tour!

[@JoshBridges]

Might have to

[@nadegeleveque7884]

Thinking about it, I would say that the craziest thing I'd like to realize would be to meet you , and , to be really crazy, have some time to talk and maybe share some workouts ....

[@aidanlaurenti9018]

Maybe a playlist on Spotify or Apple Music in the near future?

[@JoshBridges]

All the songs are listed in the description

[@Moskee40]

Awesome you’re recovering so well man. Just out of curiosity, what’s your opinion on preworkout?

[@AmitChauhan-ly9we]

Always rocking your's vedio😘🙏💪🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@eoinbolger8161]

good vid what are you squating on ?

[@jaycopeland605]

You should add some blood flow restriction to them squats

[@JoshBridges]

Jay Copeland been doing BFR! it’s legit

[@jaycopeland605]

Would love to see a day at therapy if possible!

[@jaimeparadela3385]

Hey Josh, what height do you set the seat at on the assault bike?

[@marcospregot2898]

damn Josh, you are awesome. Guys like Rich or Mat, yeah, they are the best and everything. But for me personally, not so inspirational towards the public side. Although they probably dedicate more than everybody else, they dont reach people like you have done and are doing. Truly wish the best for you, sending you positive thoughts and energy man. Good content, funny too. #paytheman

[@JoshBridges]

Thanks for the support, glad you enjoy the videos

[@philandrepont8149]

[@texastorres3505]

When the “man” Josh Bridges is paying is actually himself :D

[@JoshBridges]

Haha

[@MC-nv4bo]

Knee is looking good. Gonna be running before you know it.

[@JoshBridges]

[@wespender5983]

On bridging the gap, do an interview with seven as the interview. Flip the script
