The Resurrection: Back in the Rack
The comeback is officially underway! 💥 After some time on the sidelines post-surgery, I’m finally back under the bar and recording. Today was all about movement quality and easing into the flow with Speed Zercher Squats and Rack Pulls. Keeping the plates light, the form tight, and the momentum building. One rep at a time.

Starting a post-surgery lifting routine can feel overwhelming, but focusing on form and gradual progression makes all the difference. From my recent experience, easing back into the flow with lighter weights helped me regain confidence and avoid setbacks. Speed Zercher Squats are fantastic for rebuilding core strength and engaging multiple muscle groups safely, especially when performed with controlled tempo. Incorporating Rack Pulls as part of rehab allowed me to focus on posterior chain activation while minimizing spinal stress. This combination proved effective in improving my overall movement quality. Just like in any comeback, patience and consistency are crucial—listening to your body, prioritizing technique over ego, and celebrating small milestones all contribute to long-term success. If you’re cleared to start lifting again, consider adding speed work to your regimen—it promotes neuromuscular efficiency and prepares you for heavier loads later. Always start with manageable weights and focus on perfect execution before progressing. Remember, every rep counts on the road to full recovery and strength gains. Keep the momentum going, one rep at a time!
