1️⃣ “My dad and grandpa also have this bad knee!” OK. We believe you that your knee problem runs in your family. We are arguing that the behaviors, sports, nutrition, and beliefs passed down to you by your parents and grandparents are more likely to cause that, not something you were born with. The reality is that there are many people in the world with the same physical structure that is causing pain in your knee—and it isn’t causing pain in theirs. Don’t believe us? Come in for an assessment. If we are able to help you, we’ll give you a money back guarantee—if you also change all of the behaviors we ask you to change.
2️⃣ Here’s the harsh reality. Sleep is a superpower. When you take the number of people born with the gene that allows for low sleep without a decrease in performance, and round that number to the nearest whole number, that number is zero. The reason you feel crappy when you sleep more is twofold.
1. You are existing in a sleep deficit, and sleeping more tells your brain that it’s ok to lower the defenses it raises to combat that.
2. You changed the time you wake up or go to sleep, and circadian rhythms are the root cause of many energy shifts due to sleep.
Don’t believe us? Go to sleep and wakeup at the exact same time, 7 days a week, for a three month period. Ensure 8 hours in bed.
Your performance in the gym will go up. Your hunger cravings will go down. Your cognition will go up. Your s*x drive will go up.
Sleep is a legal steroid. Use it!
3️⃣ We’re not here to say that leaning out isn’t a viable way to make gymnastics easier. We’re here to say it’s not the ONLY way to make gymnastics easier. The thing that matters isn’t bodyweight. It’s strength to bodyweight ratio. You can build strength without changing your bodyweight, and achieve your gymnastics goals! It will take intelligent, patient work—but it will take that REGARDLESS of your weight.
has some AWESOME posts about this if you don’t believe us.
