Why Doing More Is Slowly Breaking Your Body (w/ Dr. Caleb Burgess)

Описание: If you’ve ever felt stuck between pushing harder and feeling worse… or doing less and feeling like you’re falling behind… this episode is for you.

At some point, almost everyone hits this moment with their body.

You get hurt. Or burned out. Or things just stop working the way they used to.
And suddenly you’re stuck between two bad options:

Do less and feel like you’re losing yourself…
Or do more and keep breaking yourself.

Most people bounce back and forth between those two for years. Not because they’re weak...but because they don’t understand the difference between pain, discomfort, and danger… or how much fear quietly controls how they train and recover.

In this episode of the Redefining Strength Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Caleb Burgess, Doctor of Physical Therapy and movement expert, to break down why “doing more” so often backfires and what to do instead if you actually want to build a body that works in real life.

Together, we cover:

-Why strength isn’t about what you lift, but what you can actually do in your life
-How fear of re-injury, fear of losing progress, and fear of losing identity sabotage recovery
-The real difference between pain, discomfort, and danger
-Why boring basics often build better results than “advanced” programs
-How perfectionism and chasing perfect form can actually make things worse
-Why “regressing to progress” is often the fastest way forward
-And how to rebuild confidence, capacity, and performance without breaking yourself again

If you’ve ever thought:

“I should be able to do more than this.”
“I’m scared to push… but I’m also scared to fall behind.”
“I keep ending up hurt, burned out, or stuck.”

This conversation will completely change how you think about training, recovery, and long-term strength.
