Stopping training prematurely can have enormous consequences.

Every month before the 9-month mark post-op carries a 5x increase of re-injury risk.

TIME + LOAD are required to regrow the tendon.

Another objective is also to get to 90% of knee extension compared to opposite leg.

Painful event → rest → feel better → do what you did → pain → repeat steps

That's a sh*tty way to live.

Stretches, mobility drills or "treatments" won't help if you're not taught how to finally deal with the underlying issue.

If you want to break the cycle, this is the conversation you need to start having.

You can have full range of motion, stellar flexibility and mobility, and still FEEL tight.⁣

Clients complain of “tightness,” but when I assess their range of motion it’s full. So why the “tightness?”

If you are hyperflexible, it is likely that you lack stability in your end ranges of motion, the ones that many people can’t or just don’t access. You are going deeper in a squat than most, so your hips might feel tight, when in reality, you are lacking stability in that “extra” range.⁣

So should you stretch? No. You likely need to stop stretching as much and start loading these end range of motion positions.
How?

-Tempo squats with pauses in the “tight” spots
-Time under tension
-Heavy holds
-Heavy carries
-Midline bracing work
-Postural work

Are you someone that “feels” tight but has never really had trouble getting into any positions necessary for your workouts or your sport?

The first step to figuring out how to fix this is a thorough assessment.

Working around an injury is appropriate in two situations:
1) It’s a minor injury and just needs time to heal.
2) You’re not concerned with progress; you just want to participate.
If you fall into one of those two categories, working around an injury is the right call.
If you’re not, you’re settling when you don’t have to.
If you’re tired of settling and ready to stop compromising, I want to help you.
I will help you get out of pain and come back better than you were before the injury everyone else said you would have to work around.

I encourage everyone to move. Everyone.

My occupation allows me to facilitate this and I can't see myself working in any other industry.

For people to move and do the great things their body is capable of doing, they first have to believe they can. And self doubt can be a b*tch.

For them to believe they can, it sometimes requires more than me telling them they can. They must be shown that they can. The proof is in the pudding, after all... ngl, I never really understood that expression.

Moving on, ordinary, everyday people who want to exercise often don't take that step because of self-doubt. That self-doubt comes from somewhere.

In my practice, pain has a huge role to play in individuals who are not yet active but would like to be.
And pain can be a motherf***er, especially on a person's psyche, subconscious and, the one's that is the most difficult to change, their identity.

Having a few tricks up your sleeve can go a very long way in at least starting to chip away the wall someone has built over the years. In the pic above, I'm simply alleviating low back tension almost instantaneously. It's a cool little technique that make's a client training session that much more meaningful.

My duty is to believe in people's ability to prosper as they believe in my ability to change their lives.

Training and working out is life changing and a life saver, no doubt about it. I don't think anyone can refute that. I don't know if anyone is even willing to try.

That said, to get the most out of exercise, moving more often is a must.

For a deconditioned person, a 10-15 minute walk is great, especially at a faster pace, something like a brisk walk.

For someone who is already exercising, that person might need more.
But the idea remains the same, move more often. That's it.

Take the stairs.
Ditch the car.
Parc the car way further than you're used to.
Go outside at LEAST once a day and get those legs moving.

You've heard it all before. I'm here to remind you.

Here's how it can look like:

"Based on your personal goals, your assessment and the number of times you train in a week, I've broken the plan down into 3 days, each with its own theme.

On day 1, we're working on X to improve Y.

On day 2, we're working on A to seek changes in B.

On day 3, we're working on M to make sure we get succeed at N.

All 3 days are full body days with day 2 putting the least stress on the body to allow you to recover for day 3.

Day 3 is where we'll look for the biggest response since you'll have more rest days to recover before coming back to day 1."

During each session, explaining the reasoning behind each exercise is also a good idea since it further implicates them in the plan.

This is only a template.

My interactions don't necessarily go exactly like I've described it but it isn't far. I model my speech to each person since we all respond to different words, cues and analogies.

Food for thought.

I love to see coaches coming together to learn, teach and discuss.

I believe we all simultaneously have a lot to learn and a lot to teach.

In my experience, being amongst coaches who actively seek to learn from their peers is something I found to be missing in our field.

I'm grateful to work amongst these individuals.

I forget exactly what Ian and I were talking about but it must have been something deep 😅

Thanks to .starnino for being the lab rat in this experiment.

Every system has a structure.
Your training plan has a structure.
Your trainer's coaching business has a structure.
The gym where you train has a structure.

Each element in a system is connected, directly or indirectly, to every other element in the given system.

It's a combination of components that operate in synergy. No element is entirely isolated. It's a dynamic force acting to bring you forward.

Success in health and fitness is the same. There isn't one thing that will magically bring you to your end state, if there even is such a thing, but rather all elements working in tandem.
