3 Questions to Ask Before Every Workout to Minimize Injury

Written By Gabriel Marcogliese

I just dropped a new video breaking down 3 questions to ask before every workout to minimize injury
​
This separates people who stay consistent in the gym for years from those who get constantly sidelined by pain and setbacks.

Here's what I discuss:

  • [00:43] - Why tracking weights, reps, and sets is missing the most important piece

  • [01:54] - The two camps of lifters (and why both camps fail when it matters most)

  • [03:46] - The simple readiness formula: Recovery + Resilience = Your capacity today

  • [09:00] - Real example: How I avoided injury by ditching my planned heavy deadlifts

It’s a signal your body sends when you’re not ready for the load you’re giving it.
But most people only track output (what they did)... not readiness (what their body could actually handle).

This isn’t about skipping workouts or obsessing over metrics.
It’s about training smarter so you can stay consistent and stop repeating the pain cycle.
