60. Fortitude Member Spotlight Berto Campos

In this episode, I sit down with Berto to discuss his journey at Fortitude including a recent really scary back injury. Not only do we talk about how injury happens, but how we helped Berto get out of pain without taking time off from the gym.  The reality of using your body in any physical capacity is that injury can happen. It's like talking to a person who rides motorcycles, they say there are 2 kinds of people. The ones who have gone down and the ones who will. Having a good understanding of what we can and should do in relation to our goals is really helpful. Sometimes a setback can actually give us the opportunity to reassess priorities and, in Berto's case, revisit the basics. We rebuilt his hinge pattern, developed some much-needed strength, and shifted our focus to what he needed as an individual. All in only 8 weeks with 1 on 1 coaching and 7 weeks post-injury he was able to do a CrossFit competition pain-free!
