At Garage Strength and Peak Strength, we understand the importance of preventing injuries and rehabbing current injuries. We also understand the champion mentality to continue working and getting better even through limitations.

To help support athletes that are experiencing minor injuries and limitations, we have created injury recovery training plans to maintain consistent training.

The programs focus on reducing total training volume, maximizing recovery, and avoiding exercise that stresses the injured area.

Here is a full list of the current available injury recovery training plans:

  • Ankle/Foot Recovery: Avoids or lightly uses the ankles and feet

  • General Recovery: Very light full body strength and recovery

  • Knee Recovery: Avoids or lightly uses the knees

  • Lower Back Recovery: Avoids or lightly uses the lower back

  • Shoulder Recovery: Avoids or lightly uses the shoulders

  • Wrist/Hand Recovery: Avoids or lightly uses the wrists and hands

You can access these training plans by selecting “train for a goal” > “injury recovery”.

Additionally, if you have a very short term injury (something that can be rehabbed within 2 weeks), we do not recommend changing your training plan to one of the Injury Recovery training plans.

We actually recommend removing your primary workout for the day and replacing it with a bonus workout such as prehab, bodyweight, or an additional mobility workout.

You can access and view these workouts by clicking on "+Add Workout" on your daily dashboard.

Then select from either the Bodyweight or Prehab bonus workout/add-on options based on your injury.

If you have additional requests or suggestions to injury recovery training plans, feel free to reach out via email at support@peakstrength.app and we will be happy to consider your suggestion.
