Gift of Injury

In the highly competitive world of strength athletics, a back injury is seen by many as the ultimate career-ender. In truth, if handled properly, it is far from a death sentence. Follow the journey of international powerlifting champion Brian Carroll, who can attest to this firsthand. This remarkable athlete went from 1100 lb squats and 800 lb deadlifts to unending pain and disability after a massive spinal compression injury. After a fortuitous meeting with leading back expert Dr. Stuart McGill – Brian Carroll, World Record Power Lifter- reset his training and life to fight back to the top of the winner’s podium. Brian is pain and symptom-free to this day, after competing for seven years post-McGill meeting, and retired after being the first man to squat over 1300lbs, regardless of weight class, in 2020.

“Gift of Injury is an extraordinary book that proves the adage that safety is not the opposite of performance but a part of it. Packed with priceless cues, it is a must for every serious strength athlete and coach.“

— Pavel Tsatsouline, Chairman, StrongFirst, Inc.

10/20/LIFE

From The Author and creator, Brian Carroll: “Learn to be your coach — With 10/20/Life, my objective is to teach you to get the results you want by coaching yourself—the same way a superior coach would take you through an individualized program in a great gym. We start with a thorough examination of your weak points because that’s how quality coaching works. The idea is to show you what to program and when based on your squat, bench press, and deadlift weaknesses. This sounds simple, but it’s something most people don’t even consider, much less put into practice.”

“Brian Carroll has been involved in Powerlifting for nearly 20 years. His years of ‘in the trenches’ knowledge and wisdom have helped me with insights concerning my own programming, my back rehab (our stories are similar) and his 10/20/Life strength training principles are proven over and over to help keep athletes honest, healthy and strong for the long haul.“

— Blaine Sumner “The Vanilla Gorilla” – IPF World Champion, IPF World Record holder and highest Wilks score in powerlifting history
