Aches Pains & Gains
The Aches Pains & Gains podcast was started by Bridge City Barbell coaches and powerlifters, Thomas Johnston and Danny Heintz, to shine light on the anecdotal experiences and expertise of lifters, coaches, clinicians, researchers, and everything in between. Each episode Thomas and Danny explore all things lifting, rehab, and fitness.
Aches Pains & Gains
Ep. 16 - The Best Performance That Didn’t Qualify: Perspective on Success & Failure
In this, first ever solo episode, Thomas shares his journey of competing in two powerlifting meets back to back, battling a back injury, and cutting 6kg in 6 weeks in a bid to qualify for Nationals. It was a grueling process—training through Christmas, New Year's, his birthday, and a bachelor party trip—all leading up to a final meet where he fell just short of his goal.
If you've ever faced setbacks in lifting, injuries, or even life goals, this one's for you.
