Matt Morsia, also known as MattDoesFitness, has been doing less fitness after rupturing his Achilles tendon.
He can't perform squats or deadlifts while he recovers.
His physio says the advantage of returning to normal exercise doesn't outweigh the danger. "Slow, heavy contractions are safe.
The danger comes if you're carrying a heavy bar and must move forward or lose balance."
He ends his deadlifting exercise with 3 sets of 10 at 100 kgs (220 pounds). "That's 30% of my one-rep max, very light," he adds.
