Rehab After Double Hip Replacement: Mobility-First Plan to Return to Heavy Lifting

Nick Best and co-host Angry Dad welcome new community members and answer two listener questions. Nick shares his biggest takeaway from filming The Strongest Man in History: seize rare opportunities by going all-in, noting the show’s strong placements, unrealized second season plans, and how COVID ended momentum. He then outlines his long-term rehab strategy after double hip replacement, emphasizing mobility first, methodical progression, assisted stretching, and gradually reintroducing leg work (box squats, light leg press) before returning to squat/bench/deadlift rep schemes and redefining a “new normal” over 8–18 months while finishing oral antibiotics. They discuss possible deadlift stance changes, training help from Mitchell Hooper, upcoming Olympia Expo booth and sandbag hold giveaway, reactions to UFC 330 and coaching issues, plus brief talk on Pumping Iron’s 50th anniversary, firearms training/CCW process in California, and upcoming contests including a training partner’s goals.
