**FREE STRENGTH WORKOUTS!** https://www.digitalbarbell.com/freestrength
Work 1:1 with Jonathan & Blakley - www.digitalbarbell.com/contact-us
Most people think gym injuries happen because they’re training too hard.
According to Will Morris, that’s usually backwards.
In this episode, I sit down with Will Morris (DPT, SSC) to talk about what he’s actually seen in clinical practice, in the Army, and under the bar.
We break down:The 3 most common types of injuries he sees from training (and daily life)
Why many gym injuries come from under-training, not overtraining
How inconsistent training creates fragile tissues
The mistake people make when they try to “play it safe”
Why pain avoidance often makes things worse long term
The mindset required to train for decades, not just a few good months
Will brings a rare perspective—combining physical therapy, strength coaching, and military experience—to explain why strong people tend to be more resilient, not more broken.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of:“Train → tweak something → back off → lose progress → repeat”
This conversation will help you rethink how injuries actually happen—and how to train in a way that keeps you moving forward.
Listen if you care about getting stronger, staying healthy, and training for the long game.
