One day I was training in my garage when I was not able to stand up a very light 45kg front squat, I knew it was time to start seeing someone to keep my body healthy for the 2020 Olympic Quad.  I was 5 weeks out from 2018 World Championships and it was the first competition of the Olympic quad.

    2. How fast we fixed it.
    3. What we did to fix it.
