We are what we train..
If you train to be rigid and stiff,
You with move with rigidity and stiffness.
If you train certain ranges and positions,
You will be strong and coordinated in those ranges and positions.
There Is a time to be rigid, and a time to relax.
Different challenges require different ranges, movements, and strategies.
In some cases, an adaptation that may seem counterproductive for one purpose may actually be productive for another.
But at the end of the day - we are all human.
And our movement is the product of millions of years of evolution.
So when we train in a highly specific way that neglects other aspects of our physical capability, it can result in deficient movement strategies elsewhere, leading to dysfunction and/or pain.
This is definitely not to say that training for powerlifting is bad or dysfunctional,
But rather - training in any highly specific way while neglecting other ranges and movement strategies may cause one to become fragile outside of where theyโre competent.
Strength is critical, but without the ability to harness and access it through variable movement, youโre still fragile.
โจThis is real life.
