Back Pained Individuals
I came to Brian in 2021 because every Doctor I went to told me I was done lifting and would never be out of pain. I heard of McGill and Carroll, so I connected with Brian Carroll virtually first, then I flew from Austin, Texas, to see him for a 3-hour assessment in Jacksonville, Fl. Fast forward 1.5 years later, and I am pain-free and now a WBFF Bikini Pro. I appreciate your help, Brian! Thank you for your coaching, guidance and positivity.
Brian is the best of the best. My back was so bad I was legitimately suicidal. I never thought I’d be able to tie my shoes without pain let alone lift a barbell again. I’ve since surpassed my best deadlift by 40+ lbs with a 777 lb deadlift. I’ve referred many people to Brian’s books and knowledge he’s the best
I can’t say enough great things about Brian, his book and the methods he used. My back pain was terrible. I t was so bad I had to brace myself standing at times, the radiating pain was terrible. I resigned to live with it until I heard about Brian’s back issues. It made me think that “hey this might be possible without surgery” and it was! I am pain free and followed exactly what Brian told me. I cannot thank him enough nor recommend his methods and him enough. If you are in pain. Seek Brian out and read his books!
Brian's Training and Facilities are Top Notch. Back injury? Not a problem .. Brian will show you how to strengthen your back to help Injuries heal and teach you how not to keep injuring your back.. Love the CBD also! It's literally the only CBD that has worked on my body .
I had been dealing with back issues for years. I would push through activities and deal with pain for days/weeks after. I had a lower herniated disk from sports activities and routinely reinjured that disk from pour movements and posture. After consulting with Brian I was made aware of the things I was doing wrong. Through reading his book "The Gift of Injury" as well as Dr.McGill's book I learned a great deal of how the spine truly works. I would highly recommend reading these books as they will clearly show you the proper path to recovery and regaining the use of your back once again. After reading the books you should make an appointment with Brian for an evaluation where he will give direct instruction and a plan to build your core to a point that you will no longer deal with the pain you once did. All it will take is some hard work and discipline to undo all the undisciplined posture/movements that once allowed you to constantly injure your spine.
I came to Brian about a compression fracture I got on my L3 in late February. He helped me to get on the right track with recovery but the biggest thing was hearing from a powerlifter that had been through this before to stay away from the gym even if I thought I could do a few exercises. Not just hearing it from the doctor. Brian got me on the right track using the principles of the McGill method and I am experiencing the benefits of that now. I will continue to work with Brian and recommend any powerlifter, strongman, Olympic lifter, etc. that has a back break to do the same.
I reached out to Brian after having two herniated disks in my back and being in constant pain. I had been to doctors and physical therapists but my pain never fully went away. After the doctor told me I would never lift heavy again I was in a bad place mentally and decided to reach out to Brian. From the beginning Brian was positive and assuring that he could not only get rid of my pain but could help get me back to lifting. He did a great job of laying out what to expect and what would be expected of me. His guidance was clear and concise and he was always available if questions or problems arose. After six months Brian had me completely out of pain and was helping me work towards gaining back my strength. He was especially great to work with during this time as he clearly explained what was changing and what I still needed to pay attention to in regards to back pain returning. Fast forward a year post injury and I was out of pain and had a new PR on all of my lifts. Through Brian's coaching and help my lifts significantly improved beyond where they were pre injury. Deadlift: 50 pound PR Squat: 60 pound PR Bench: 30 pound PR I can't recommend Brian enough, his help is worth every penny.
I had a McGill Assessment done after years of researching/reading/listening as much as I could about the McGill Method. I can only say, it was everything as expected and even more! After years of back pain, I never felt like I had real direction in my life on truly getting better. Nine months later, I've been able to PREVENT flairs up from coming on! It truly has been a life changing experience for me. If you EVER are feeling hopeless with any back pain, I can't recommend enough going to see Brian. I've recently started a business to pursue my true passion...that wouldn't be possible if I never saw him. Grateful to have my life and my body back!
It was about a year ago on a cold morning when my back pain started to go off the rails after "tweaking" my back on a heavy set of squats. I was frustrated and could not understand what I had been doing wrong so I reached out to Brian. I was familiar with his books and the work he had done with Dr. Stuart McGill and I knew I needed a professional's guidance. Brian and I had a few virtual sessions where he outlined a good plan forward to get out of pain. Once the pain had mostly subsided I decided to have an in-person session with Brian where he gave me a full assessment and outlined a plan for rebuilding what I had broken. I've not had a relapse in back pain since, and I owe it all to Brian's coaching and guidance. If you're considering reaching out to him, just do it. You won't regret it!
I’ve dealt with chronic back pain for over 10 years. I tried literally everything short of surgery and injections, but failed to find any long term solutions that worked for me. One session with Brian legitimately changed my life. He educated me on micromovements and was able to quickly observe bad movements I was doing. Then he showed me good alternative movements that could have a major impact on daily pain management. The handful of simple daily exercises he taught me strengthened my core in a balanced way that quickly reduced my chronic pain. One year later I'm happy to report that my chronic pain has been virtually eliminated and I'm back to playing sports and enjoying activities that I haven't been able to do for a decade. Brian is the real deal. Thank you Brian!!
I've had of and on low back issues since 2000, and lived in a prison of pain almost daily since 2015. I was on a cane to walk in 2017. I just assumed I'd always be in pain until I died. I took steroid/spine shots for a few years until they quit working. 2016-21 time frame. Degenerative disks, frayed disks, bulges etc. I was in the airborne infantry 2000-03, then a chopper pilot later 2010-15. After watching McGill and Brian Carol, and reading some, I stopped stretching, started the McGill big 3, and other simple exercise and within 72hrs I felt like a different human! The pain was almost GONE. I have more improvement from following your lead, and Reading McGill work than ever before. I'm FINALLY learning what I need to do at 40+ yrs into this fitness game. Can you imagine.. I can't thank you enough. I'm a life long boxer, athlete, high school powerlifter, footballer, and military man. And it's been a long time since I felt this healthy. It's obvious that this is the path I need to take at this point in my life. Thank you,
I had been experiencing chronic back pain for 4+ years. Before I reached out to Brian I was feeling pretty hopeless. Chronic pain will do that to you. Brian and Stuart McGill’s books were useful in helping me to understand what caused my injury and what was continuing to cause my pain, but when I started to work with Brian that’s when I really started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I worked with Brian for about 6 months. During that time he helped me to identify my pain triggers, my unique pelvic position, and we built a rehab plan that helped me to change my movement, address my pain trigger and get out of pain. If you are considering back surgery, or struggling with back pain and don’t know what to do, before you go under the knife call Brian.
In 2019, after already having one disc bulge, I bulged another during a warmup deadlift and collapsed to the floor in horrible pain. For a few days I couldn’t hardly walk and during that time, ordered The Gift of Injury. I read the book over a week or so and began my rehab. To this day, the McGill big 3 is part of my routine almost every day. With the knowledge gained from the book, chatting with Brian and the rehab, I competed in my first full power meet last weekend. There, I set broke 5 state records and plan on going for more. My journey is far from finished and a lot of it is because of Brian and his story. Thank you Brian and Dr. McGill.
Started with Brian about 3 weeks ago. Went and visited him for in person training last week to check form on my lifts. Brian was super welcoming from the time I arrived. He took me through his recommended warmups and we made some changes on my form for squat, bench and deadlifts. Great experience, I would highly recommend to anybody on the fence. I can’t say enough good things about my experience so far with Brian. *Edit* I’ve been with Brian for a while now and my back couldn’t be better. Patience and consistency is key. Brian is honest, straightforward and genuine. Trust the process and get started asap!
After getting a back assessment with a McGill clinician, I wanted to get back to the activities I enjoy but didn't know how to work my way there. I have been working with Brian for a few months now and I overcame the emotional and physical hurdles of rehab. Brian is an elite athlete to the service of the common people and he has a lot to teach, as long as one be realistic with their goals and put some work in it. Personally, my goal was to gain longevity and build resilience to be able to run, bike and workout a few times a week. Thanks to Brian, I knew this was attainable and we found a safe strategy to get there. It is particularly impressive that he could workshop exercises given that we only have worked online. I believe that everyone - not just powerlifters - should incorporate Brian's tailored method in their daily life (instead of blindly trying general exercise/stretch program).
I’ve followed Brian for many years throughout his weightlifting career. I always appreciated how humble he is despite everything he’s achieved. After suffering a minor back injury myself, I figured I’d give The Gift of Injury a shot. My goal has always been to keep my body injury-free so I can lift weights until the end. And if a world champion powerlifter could heal his massive injury and go on to set more records, there must be something to it. After reading the book (and re-reading many passages), watching Brian’s videos, and working the McGill method, I’ve been pain-free for a couple of years. The insight here has completely changed how I view training, injury, and recovery. Not an easy feat after 28 years of lifting weights! But I will continue to use these concepts for many years to come.
As a competitive golfer you wouldn’t think to see a powerlifting coach for help with your back. I’m a big believer in Stuart McGills methods. And like Brian will tell you he sees people when all else fails. A chiropractor hurt me and a PT made it worse. I had been doing the MCGill big 3 for a month with no success but again like Dr McGill says the cure for one may be poison for another. I met with Brian initially via zoom then in person. Within 4 days I went from only getting 3 hrs of sleep and figuring golf was over to almost no pain! It’s now 3 weeks since our first call and I hit golf balls with no pain! Brian is worth the drive and the money. Don’t wait!
Brian is a master of his craft. My L5-S1 was trashed and I had immense back pain. He showed me proper techniques to strengthen my core, which has helped a lot. He also showed me proper ways to pick up and lift heavy items without putting unnecessary strain on my back. I also incorporated his CBD products which help alleviate symptoms when my back is aching. I used to use BIO FREEZE but Brian’s CBD Cryo Freeze is far superior and has many more benefits. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Brian if you want to learn proper lifting techniques, have back issues or are interested in his products. He is passionate about helping people with back problems and will ensure that you start a healthy and pain free path to recovery.
Brian’s coaching will be a game changer in your life. First off, I will say that anyone who chooses Brian will not only come away with more tools to take take on their injury, but they will also just be a wiser person in general about their physical health. As Brian says “I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t tell you this.” He truly just wants to help and pass in his knowledge. He will give you the tools to take control of your pain and to start healing. As someone who had been to countless physical therapists and pain management clinics, Brian was the only one who truly helped me and showed me that there was hope for the future. Thanks Brian!
I have been working with Brian for a few months now and his methods get the job done. I have worked with a physical therapist from a large facility before and my work with Brian has given me far better and more sustainable results. Brian is passionate in the field and offers tremendous value. I would highly recommend his training to anyone that deals with back pain.
Ive been working with Brian on my back since Sept 2022. Ive got from stabbing pain with small micro movements to be substantially more resilient and almost pain free. I'm confident Brian and I will get there. I would highly recommend Brian for his knowledge and demeanor. Also love his CBD. I do the cinnamon at night during stressful weeks. Makes a ton of difference. Thanks Brian.
I came to see Brian because of a back injury I've had for over 10 years! After all this time I've never had anyone show me or help me the way he did after only a 4-hour McGill method evaluation. I am early on in working with him, but I am certain if anyone can help fix my spine (or lose the pain) it's Brian. I highly recommend to anyone struggling with back pain.

After dealing with back pain off and on for years, I was able to make a couple trips to see Brian for an assessment and some movement coaching. In just a couple short sessions, Brian was able to show me how to properly perform certain exercises and talked me through how to approach rehab and training. In a short time I was pain free and was able to begin progressing my lifts. That was a couple years ago and I'm still pain free, moving better, and able to train harder than ever. Additionally, Brian is a great communicator and a pleasure to work with.
I have had an awesome experience with Power Rack Strength so far. I have read both Back Mechanic and Gift of Injury. I have found the information and programs outlined in these books incredibly helpful with my lower back pain and sciatica. All the other methods I have tried have left me frustrated and feeling hopeless. I feel more confident than ever that a pain free life is in my future! The CBD products are definitely top of the line and I would recommend those as well. The Cinnamon tastes amazing unlike all the other brands I have tried. Brian’s professionalism definitely makes me trust the brand. Next I am planning on consulting with Brian and I am very excited about that. I look forward to continuing to do business with Power Rack Strength.
I'm an older Jiu Jitsu practitioner and cannot recommend getting the help of a McGill Master Clinician enough. I had my initial assessment with a different practitioner, and Brian has been kind enough to continue my care with advice on squatting, deadlifting, core stability, and specific programming. I've done nothing but progress since I made the McGill Method the foundation of my training. Not only has my personal health and comfort greatly improved, but so has my Jiu Jitsu practice. My game feels stronger and more technical, and my day-to-day recovery is worlds better. Working with Brian is an absolute pleasure. Not only is his coaching focused, precise, and professional, but he makes you feel immediately at home. I had both the peace of mind of being in good, knowledgeable hands and the ease of hanging out with one of the guys. It really has been the best of both worlds thus far, and I'm eager to continue learning everything I can from him. You won't make a better investment in your health than getting Coach Carroll or one of his colleagues to work with you.
I’ve been working with Brian since February of 2023 and I have nothing but good things to say. Through his in person assessment and video calls, he has effectively been able to identify why my back was hurting as well as create an effective program to get me on the road to recovery. Brian was able to figure out what 3 doctors, 2 physical therapists and 1 chiropractor couldn’t! Without Brian, my life would be one filled with constant pain but with Brian, I’ve been able to manage and progress after over a year of compounding pain. I would recommend the time and fiscal investment to go see him in person as his assessment was the most in depth care I have received for my back. Go see Brian and get healed!!
Herniated disc L4-L5, herniated disc L5-S1, and nerve impingement led to the back of my leg and foot becoming numb for a year. Chiropractic care, acupuncture, 3 rounds of steroid injections…next step was a surgical procedure. I hadn’t been active in sports, lifting, or wresting with my kids for that long. Messes with you psychologically. Divinely, I was introduced to Brian and was able to give him an elevator pitch of what I had going on. I was not a candidate for surgery(most people aren’t, they’re just told they are), and he could help is what he told me. After reading his books, 10/20/Life and The Gift of Injury, I found that Brian walked through the same issues as I was. This dude practices what he preaches/teaches, daily. I’ve gone from literally army crawling across my house to again running on baseball and football fields with my kids. The buy in to Brian’s knowledge, program, and his willingness to help is beyond worth it. It’s life changing.
Coaching
My sports history is one of eclectic taste, and at one point, in my younger days, I served many masters. I have devoted my life to exploring physically demanding contact sports and some of the most competitive Strength Sports in the world. After years of Muay Thai, Rugby, Powerlifting, and Strongman, my dance with the devil ended. Ignoring proper day-to-day mechanics, making bad training decisions, and working through what I thought were nagging discomforts, I woke up one day with severe back pain, leg numbness, and little to no range of motion. The freedom of life had been stripped from me. I had heard that Brian had worked closely with Dr. McGill and of how he had become a great example of rehabilitation and recovery. At first, I was hesitant to work with Brian because I was afraid of letting go of my sport, and I knew the discipline required on this path would be unlike anything I had faced before. However, deciding to sit down on a Skype call with Brian, adopt his 10/20/Life approach, and start my journey on my back rehab was life-changing. To many, this may sound over the top or cliché, but to those who have felt real injury and the isolation of back pain, we know very well that the day-to-day demand is like no other. Having been coached by Brian for over a year has completely reinvented my training and perception as a coach and gym owner. What was prescribed to me as an “athletic death sentence” transformed into a chance to come back stronger than ever in all facets of my life and athletic career? I now sit in the driver’s seat of my comeback into Strongman as I seek to return to the national stage, compete at the world level and fight for the state title. None of these would have been possible without Brian’s calculated training, stern weekly conversations, and what he would call my “Gift of Injury.

Fast forward a year post-injury, I was out of pain and had a new PR on all my lifts. Through Brian’s coaching and help, my lifts significantly improved beyond where they were pre-injury. Deadlift: 50-pound PR • Squat: 60-pound PR • Bench: 30-pound PR
I started working with coach Brian Carroll in mid-2008 as his first online training client. Neither of us knew exactly what to expect, but he was confident in his ability to get me stronger, and I trusted his judgment. By the end of 2010, he had added over 300 lb to my total and taken me to a 2150 lb. pro total as a 220-lb. lifter. Brian’s 10/20/Life principles truly took me to the next level and have allowed me to hit multiple raw and equipped pro totals since.
I got connected with Brian in 2020 after a long bout of back and neck pain from a car accident in 2017. His coaching has been such a relief because it has taught me to finally be able to practice proper lifting mechanics and spine hygiene so I can stay active in a healthy way. The training twice a week, paired with the PRS CBD cream, roller and drops, has made dramatic improvement in my overall well-being. My husband and I use the CBD products for daily maintenance, tight muscle massage, and we use the cinnamon drops for a more restful sleep at night. I am so grateful to have found a trainer who understands my injury and a method that allows such peace back into my life.
Top notch trainer, very personable, extremely detailed and puts relentlessness effort into helping his clients. The CBD oil has been very instrumental in helping me achieve better sleep. Excellent products and service!

I sustained a neck injury where I herniated my c5-c7. I struggled with the pain in my neck while doing any lifting exercises. I met Brian and asked him to coach me and help me workout without the pain. He is a remarkable coach who was able to watch what I was doing and was able to get me to fix my form which enabled me to lift more efficiently. He provided me with pre and post workout stretches that effectively relieved the pain and tightness I had in my neck. Brian recommended power rack strength CBD topical as an anti inflammatory as I am not able to take over the counter or prescription anti inflammatory medication. The CBD has helped me tremendously and has become a part of my daily routine. I can’t thank Brian enough for everything he has done for me.
For over 8 years I have leaned on Brian Carroll and the 10/20/Life philosophy. During that time even, I have added over 400 pounds to my raw total, while staying in the same weight class and quite injury free. Brian Carroll and his 10/20/Life proved itself flexible when I transitioned to multi-ply in late 2016 and continued to base my training on the same fundamental philosophies and structure. Regardless of competitive style, age or experience, I recommend 10/20/Life to any athlete looking to add strength and stay healthy. I currently boast a 2000lb raw total and a 2400 equipped total at 242. I highly suggest those who have doubts to seek Brian’s coaching wisdom to take you to the next level.

I started training with Brian 10 years ago after I injured my neck in a car accident. After helping me become pain free. He has continued to provide consistent and knowledgeable information with each training session, to help me achieve my goals as well as be able to share this information with my massage and PT clients. I have also started using his CBD products daily for muscle recovery and pain relief, the ingredients are simple and strong which I love! Myself along with my clients that I’ve used it on are very happy with the product.
Brian has been an invaluable resource to me. From coaching me to elite totals in multiple weight classes in powerlifting, to helping me manage pain from past injuries. He is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Brian is very much the real deal.
Brian is a great person and one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met in the industry on not just powerlifting and peak performance but on minimizing back pain and returning to action quickly! Thanks for all that you do Brian! Highly recommended!
I've used many different CBD brands with no real noticeable benefit, but the Power Rack products are top of the line. I use the drops to help with anxiety & sleep. My husband has nagging issues from a bicep repair and uses the roll-on multiple times a day. As a powerlifter, these products greatly aid in recovery & keeping my body healthy. Brian has also been consulting with me on the McGill method and techniques to directly address my lifting weaknesses. We communicate and re-evaluate as I progress. He graciously incorporates this with my strength coach's programing to ensure my best interests are the primary focus. In a few months' time, I've noticed a major change in my core strength and technique carryover to my main lifts.
Brian was able to adjust my squat and deadlift form to make it more efficient for my build. I’ve never felt more tight and like a wound spring in the hole of my squat before. His coaching is excellent I am excited to see how much better my lifts become with what I have learned!
I am a CPT for 10+ years and Corporate Fitness coach working with hundreds of people globally today. If it weren't for Carroll's work and continued dedication to giving the best proven methods for spinal hygiene then I would be less of a coach to my clients in helping them achieve their optimal best. Grateful he has given his time to helping the industry in this way instead of just continuing his own personal WR success. He could've been a speaker about himself and instead he's chosen to share so that others can win too. He's genuinely a Champion of the heart as much as of the gym. Thank you Carroll 🙏.
Brian is a top notch coach dedicated to ensuring you are able to properly and safely perform all your lifts. He is patient yet exacting. You will be confident in your abilities to advance when he is done with you. He is accessible and responsive to any questions as well. Also, his CBD roll on and balm products are incredible!! Pain relief within moments and amazingly progressive relief as well. Excellent results!
CBD & Products
My wife and I both use the PRS CBD products for a wide range of applications. The roll on is great for using on sore or stiff muscles prior to exercise. After exercise or prior to sleeping, we like using the balm along with light massage on the muscles to help improve recovery. I've seen first hand over several years that Brian is very knowledgeable and effective with training clients for injury rehabilitation, competitive strength goals, and general fitness. For anyone suffering from back pain, I would recommend that you contact him for a consultation as well as pickup a copy of Gift of Injury.

Brian's Training and Facilities are Top Notch. Back injury? Not a problem .. Brian will show you how to strengthen your back to help Injuries heal and teach you how not to keep injuring your back.. Love the CBD also! It's literally the only CBD that has worked on my body .

I love the CBD products. I've tried tons of CBD drops. The Power Rack Strength drops help me get to sleep quicker and more soundly than anything I've tried. Highly recommended!!!
The lavender CBD balm is amazing. I used to wake up a lot at night due to old injuries and years of shift work. The lavender CBD has become a part of my bedtime routine. The CBD helps with recovery and inflammation. The lavender helps me wind down and get good sleep.
I use the Power Rack Strength line of CBD products. The Cryo Roll-On before workouts, the balm afterwards, and the drops at night. These are top shelf products and help me perform and feel my best. I highly recommend the Cryo Roll-On before a tough workout or run, it’s a game changer!
I work in a high-paced and some times stressful environment. I have found over the past couple of months the CBD products from PRS are far superior than anything I’ve tried. I can truly see the benefits. The drops help me get through my work day, with anxiety, and getting a good night’s sleep. I highly recommend working with PRS. They have done their research and developed an exceptional product.
Power Rack Strength’s CBD oil is top notch. Leagues above most of the products you can find almost anywhere now. I purchased it to help with my sleep and I’m so glad I did. I get much deeper meaningful sleep now. Worth every penny. I highly recommend it!
Not only is Brian a friend of mine but he’s someone I look up to in learning about body mechanics. I’ve seen him go through his injury to excel from his recovery and using that experience and putting that energy into his business. Power Rack Strength CBD is the best product I’ve ever used. I’m an average active person in the gym and with sports and I have used every over-the-counter product. When I switched to Power Rack Strength, it was night and day with how fast my recovery was and how great his product works. It’s super consistent and 100% free of THC so it is very versatile and can be utilized from the average person to the professional. When you have an owner who is so involved in how peoples lives are affected and loves everything about the outcome and then include his experience and knowledge you can definitely see and FEEL what a difference this product is. My personal favorite is the roll on Cryo Freeze. Love Power Rack Strength!!
Love Brian's CBD products. The drops in cinnamon taste great and have helped with sleeping and stress. The cryofreeze is awesome and easy easy to add CBD directly to achy muscles too. Just got some of the natural CBD drops to try with our dog as we've had to switch before away from one for dogs because it has too much THC in it. Brian's being THC free is another reason I wanted to use his products. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Brian’s CBD products. The drops before bed have made a huge difference in my sleep and recovery! Also the McGill big 3 has improved my lower back pain tremendously as well as strengthened my core which has helped my bracing under heavy weights. Thanks for being so helpful in every aspect Brian!!
Brian is a master of his craft. My L5-S1 was trashed and I had immense back pain. He showed me proper techniques to strengthen my core, which has helped a lot. He also showed me proper ways to pick up and lift heavy items without putting unnecessary strain on my back. I also incorporated his CBD products which help alleviate symptoms when my back is aching. I used to use BIO FREEZE but Brian’s CBD Cryo Freeze is far superior and has many more benefits. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Brian if you want to learn proper lifting techniques, have back issues or are interested in his products. He is passionate about helping people with back problems and will ensure that you start a healthy and pain free path to recovery.
Ive been working with Brian on my back since Sept 2022. Ive got from stabbing pain with small micro movements to be substantially more resilient and almost pain free. I'm confident Brian and I will get there. I would highly recommend Brian for his knowledge and demeanor. Also love his CBD. I do the cinnamon at night during stressful weeks. Makes a ton of difference. Thanks Brian.
Brian is a top notch coach dedicated to ensuring you are able to properly and safely perform all your lifts. He is patient yet exacting. You will be confident in your abilities to advance when he is done with you. He is accessible and responsive to any questions as well. Also, his CBD roll on and balm products are incredible!! Pain relief within moments and amazingly progressive relief as well. Excellent results!
Books
Brian is extremely professional. Very intelligent and knows so much about physical wellness. I recommend you read Gift of Injury. It makes you appreciate and respect putting in the work to rehab your body and get back to a pain-free functional life. I have worked with Brian for several years on diet, rehab, and powerlifting.
My wife and I both use the PRS CBD products for a wide range of applications. The roll on is great for using on sore or stiff muscles prior to exercise. After exercise or prior to sleeping, we like using the balm along with light massage on the muscles to help improve recovery. I've seen first hand over several years that Brian is very knowledgeable and effective with training clients for injury rehabilitation, competitive strength goals, and general fitness. For anyone suffering from back pain, I would recommend that you contact him for a consultation as well as pickup a copy of Gift of Injury.
I can’t say enough great things about Brian, his book and the methods he used. My back pain was terrible. I t was so bad I had to brace myself standing at times, the radiating pain was terrible. I resigned to live with it until I heard about Brian’s back issues. It made me think that “hey this might be possible without surgery” and it was! I am pain free and followed exactly what Brian told me. I cannot thank him enough nor recommend his methods and him enough. If you are in pain. Seek Brian out and read his books!
This was a game changer for me. Too many "specialists" are operating on old paradigms, and following their advice has kept me in pain, or slowed my recoveries. Pick up this book, follow its tenets, and follow Brian's videos; you'll thank me later.
For over 8 years I have leaned on Brian Carroll and the 10/20/Life philosophy. During that time even, I have added over 400 pounds to my raw total, while staying in the same weight class and quite injury free. Brian Carroll and his 10/20/Life proved itself flexible when I transitioned to multi-ply in late 2016 and continued to base my training on the same fundamental philosophies and structure. Regardless of competitive style, age or experience, I recommend 10/20/Life to any athlete looking to add strength and stay healthy. I currently boast a 2000lb raw total and a 2400 equipped total at 242. I highly suggest those who have doubts to seek Brian’s coaching wisdom to take you to the next level.
I had been dealing with back issues for years. I would push through activities and deal with pain for days/weeks after. I had a lower herniated disk from sports activities and routinely reinjured that disk from pour movements and posture. After consulting with Brian I was made aware of the things I was doing wrong. Through reading his book "The Gift of Injury" as well as Dr.McGill's book I learned a great deal of how the spine truly works. I would highly recommend reading these books as they will clearly show you the proper path to recovery and regaining the use of your back once again. After reading the books you should make an appointment with Brian for an evaluation where he will give direct instruction and a plan to build your core to a point that you will no longer deal with the pain you once did. All it will take is some hard work and discipline to undo all the undisciplined posture/movements that once allowed you to constantly injure your spine.
In 2019, after already having one disc bulge, I bulged another during a warmup deadlift and collapsed to the floor in horrible pain. For a few days I couldn’t hardly walk and during that time, ordered The Gift of Injury. I read the book over a week or so and began my rehab. To this day, the McGill big 3 is part of my routine almost every day. With the knowledge gained from the book, chatting with Brian and the rehab, I competed in my first full power meet last weekend. There, I set broke 5 state records and plan on going for more. My journey is far from finished and a lot of it is because of Brian and his story. Thank you Brian and Dr. McGill.
Reading through “The Gift of Injury” from Brian Carroll and Stuart McGill was eye opening for me during my back injury. No matter what type of athlete you are, or at what level you’re at, an injury can drastically effect the rest of your career so it is extremely important to develop the proper mindset and rehabilitation plan to face the injury. This book was able to show me that mindset and plenty of tools I could use to recover and prevent future injury! 10/10.
I found this book to be very informative. Brian puts a lot of information in one place in an easy to use format. I am currently in my first go round in his off season program and my squat has never been stronger. Looking forward in a few weeks to seeing what the test week will reveal and then go into a pre-contest phase.
