“Professional Athlete Suffers Disc Injury During Training Camp: A Cautionary Tale”

Fuller After the second training camp in Lago Azul we had a maximum strength test. I actually felt good, fitter than I had in a long time. The first exercise went well, then came the squats. At first I got into it well, but when I gained five kilograms, it suddenly went very quickly. I had the feeling that there was a ‘crack’ in my back – I immediately dropped the bar. It was a stabbing pain that radiated down my left leg, I could barely walk. I knew straight away that it was the disc.
