Roundbox Fitness Roundbox Fitness introduces an entirely new approach on how to train the human body. Our patent-pend

President & Founder of Roundbox Fitness, Curt Ligot, began his work in the fitness industry in 1999. His clientele has included adolescents, professionals, elite athletes, and senior citizens. Striving to deliver the best possible results, Curt collaborated with his clients’ physical therapists, chiropractors, and coaches and saw the glaring disconnect between fitness, athletics, and longevity. Although client workouts looked great on paper, Curt found they were not helping in a holistic and comprehensive manner. Focusing solely on strength and conditioning didn’t address the clients’ aches and pains, and strict attention to recovery and injuries wasn’t enough for fitness and athleticism to flourish. With this knowledge, Curt’s mission was to learn how to merge the world of longevity and intensity. After years of numerous workshops, certifications, and hands-on research, Curt came to the alarming conclusion that no single system could provide a solution for what his clientele desperately needed. Therefore, he realized that it would be necessary to create the system himself. After years of research and development, the Roundbox movement was born. Utilizing unique movements and proprietary equipment, this revolutionary system delivers elite fitness and athletics while strengthening and healing joints. Existing fitness equipment has limitations and traditional methods don’t capture the full potential of the human body’s movements. Therefore, Curt turned to Lasermach, Inc., the Pacific Northwest’s premier laser machine shop that is owned and operated by his family. The Ligot Family has been instrumental in the creation of Roundbox movement. The company’s innovative and resourceful approach has spawned all of Roundbox’s proprietary equipment. Utilizing raw materials and a state of the art method, Lasermach has developed a full arsenal of equipment that delivers the total Roundbox experience. Decades of experience combined with engineering prowess, they continue to produce cutting edge and industry-changing fitness and performance devices.

If you work out, you probably know you need more shoulder mobility.

The problem?

Most mobility routines feel long, boring, and completely separate from your actual training.

That’s why I like movements like the WaveBreaker Shoulder Windmill.

It gives you a way to work through large shoulder ranges while still feeling athletic — using rhythm, rotation, coordination, control, and elastic recoil instead of just sitting in a stretch.

Delts • Rotator Cuff • Upper Back

One arm travels forward while the other moves back, creating a reciprocal windmill pattern through the shoulders and upper back.

The goal isn’t to force more range.

It’s to move through the range you have, control it, and gradually become more comfortable using it.

Mobility doesn’t have to be a separate 20-minute chore.
Sometimes it can just look like training.

If you lift, fight, throw, or play racket sports, your elbow needs more than curls and extensions.

That’s the idea behind the WaveBreaker Rotator Recoils.

With the arms held out around shoulder height and the elbows slightly bent, we move through repeated internal and external rotation in a smooth, elastic rhythm.

That creates a lot of useful work through the:

Rotator cuff
Forearms
Elbow complex
Grip + wrist stabilizers

But the real benefit is how those areas have to work together.

As the WaveBreakers change direction, the muscles around the shoulder, forearm, and elbow have to:

Accelerate
Decelerate
Absorb force
Recoil
Reverse direction

That matters because real movement rarely happens in one clean plane.

Striking, swinging, throwing, grappling, and even heavy lifting all ask the upper extremity to manage rotational forces.

So instead of only training the elbow as a simple hinge, this gives us a way to build rotational control and elastic capacity across the shoulder-to-hand chain.

As always, we start with:

Slow
Rhythmic
Pain-free
Controlled

Then, once the pattern is clean, we can gradually add speed and torque.

The goal isn’t just stronger muscles.

It’s a more capable upper extremity that can produce force, absorb it, and redirect it without losing control.

That’s elbow conditioning.

Later this week I’ll put the full WaveBreaker elbow-conditioning circuit together.

Your triceps don’t just need to be strong — they need to be able to produce force and then control it.

This is the WaveBreaker Tricep Throwdown.

I start with the weighted ends pointed down, then drive the arms into extension with speed through the triceps.

But the rep doesn’t end there.

At the bottom, the WaveBreakers have momentum.

That means the triceps, lats, shoulders, and the rest of the arm have to absorb that force, control the end range, and use the elastic recoil to transition back into the next rep.

That’s what makes this different from a standard triceps extension.

We’re training:

Triceps power
Elbow extension speed
Deceleration
Elastic loading + recoil
Shoulder-to-elbow coordination
Control through end range

And like all of the WaveBreaker elbow-conditioning work, I don’t start this fast.

First:

Slow. Rhythmic. Pain-free. Controlled.

Then, once the movement is owned, we gradually add speed, momentum, and torque.

The goal isn’t just bigger triceps.

It’s an elbow that can accelerate, absorb force, and redirect it without losing control.

That matters for lifters, fighters, racket athletes, throwers — really anyone who asks the upper body to produce force quickly.

Later this week I’ll put all of these movements together into the full WaveBreaker Elbow Conditioning Circuit.

This is the WaveBreaker Elbow Pronation/Supination drill.

With the elbow bent, I rotate the forearm through pronation and supination while the weighted end of the WaveBreaker creates momentum.

At first, the goal is simple:

Slow. Rhythmic. Pain-free. Controlled.

Then, as the pattern improves, we can gradually add more speed and let the forearm musculature do more of the work of decelerating, absorbing, and redirecting force at each end of the movement.

That means we’re training more than just rotation.

We’re building:

Forearm rotational strength
Elbow control
Grip and wrist coordination
Deceleration
Elastic loading and recoil

That matters for sports and activities where the hand and forearm are constantly changing position — racket sports, striking, throwing, lifting, and grappling.

The goal isn’t just a stronger elbow.

It’s an elbow that can handle changing forces and stay connected to the wrist, forearm, and shoulder.

Control first.
Then speed.
Then torque.

This is one piece of the elbow-conditioning system I’m putting together with the WaveBreakers.

10/13/2026

Elbow conditioning should involve more than just curls and extensions.

This is the WaveBreaker Hammer Extension.

I’m using a neutral/hammer grip, driving into elbow extension, then letting the wrist finish with a slight ulnar deviation as the WaveBreaker travels down.

That gives us more than just a triceps exercise.

We’re training:

Triceps
Forearms
Grip
Wrist control
Elbow deceleration

The WaveBreaker also adds momentum, so the job isn’t just to accelerate the movement.

You have to control the weighted end, absorb the force, and redirect it smoothly.

That’s a big part of why I like this for elbow conditioning.

A lot of people are strong in very controlled, predictable positions, but the elbow and wrist still have to deal with force coming through different angles in sport, lifting, and everyday movement.

This gives us a way to build:

Stronger elbow extension
Better forearm and wrist coordination
More control at end range
Better tolerance to changing forces

So the problem we’re trying to solve isn’t simply a “weak triceps.”

It’s building an elbow complex that can produce force, absorb force, and stay connected to the wrist and hand while doing it.

Later this week I’ll put the full series together into the WaveBreaker Elbow Conditioning Circuit.

Strong in the gym doesn’t always mean strong in the positions that actually matter on court.

For a squash player, you need to be able to rotate, reach, decelerate and absorb force without losing control through the trunk.

This bent-over rotational movement helps build mobility through the upper and lower back while also teaching the body to absorb force under load.

That matters for two reasons:

Better movement can help you access more range and create force from difficult positions.

Better control can help you manage the demands of those positions more safely.

This is what I want from performance training… not just stronger muscles, but a body that can handle what the sport actually asks of it.

MMA isn’t trained straight ahead.

Coach Adam is a martial artist, MMA and kickboxing coach, and this clip shows three different ways we use the Grappler to train thoracic rotation with tension and control.

The goal isn’t just to create more range.

It’s to be able to own that range, control it, and transfer force through it.

These variations challenge:

Thoracic rotation
Obliques + core
Upper-back control
Shoulder positioning
Deceleration
Rotational strength

That matters for striking because the body has to rotate, transfer force, and then control the movement on the way back.

Rotate. Control. Transfer force.

Want the breakdown of these variations?

Comment “ROTATION” or DM me “ROTATION” and I’ll send you the details.

The Grappler Foundations are finally here.

After about three years of working with the Grappler with all kinds of people, testing different movements, variations, positions, and progressions, I finally sat down and whittled the library down from dozens of exercises to what I consider the 9 foundational Grappler movements.

That was harder than it sounds 😂

The goal wasn’t just to pick nine good exercises.

I wanted these nine movements to give you a foundation for the entire system.

Across the nine, we’re training the whole body while also introducing different movement patterns and skills — things like hinging, rotation, lateral movement, scapular control, strength through longer ranges, and learning how to create and control tension through the Grappler.

I broke them down into:

3 Lower Body Movements
3 Core Movements
3 Upper Body Movements

There are obviously a lot more Grappler exercises, and every one of these has variations we can build into later.

But if someone asked me today:

“Where should I start with the Grappler?”

These are the nine I’d give them.

I’m really excited to finally have this put together because it took a long time to test, refine, and decide what actually deserved to be in the foundational group.

I’ll also be posting the Grappler Foundations program that ties all nine movements together into an actual training structure.

For now, take a look through the playlist, try some of the movements, and feel free to ask questions, leave comments, or tell me which ones you want me to break down further.

The full Grappler Foundations playlist is linked in the comments below.

If you’d rather have me send it directly, DM me “FOUNDATIONS” and I’ll send you the link.

This is going to be the starting point for a lot of what we build next.

Tight hamstrings? Don’t just stretch them.

The Grappler Diagonal Hamstring Reach lets us combine a long hamstring position with controlled loading.

Start tall with the Grappler slightly diagonal and squeeze inward on the handles.

Then hinge from the hips, keep the target leg long, and bring your chest down toward the thigh while reaching the Grappler diagonally across the body.

At the bottom, you’re getting a strong lengthened position through the:

Hamstrings • Glutes

But because you’re actively squeezing and controlling the Grappler, this isn’t just passive stretching.

You’re learning to create tension and control while the hamstrings are lengthened.

That’s the kind of mobility I like.

Not just getting farther into a stretch.

Getting stronger in the range you’re trying to own.

Especially after 40, I think that distinction matters.

If your hamstrings always feel tight or you want to see how we use movements like this in training, comment HAMSTRINGS or DM me “HAMSTRINGS” and I’ll send you more info.

Prime the pattern. Then take it straight to the water.

Coach Wilma had Josh use the WaveBreakers on deck for a short set before getting into the pool.

The goal was to wake up the shoulders, core, rotation, and full-body acceleration patterns he was about to use in the water.

Then he went straight from the deck into his laps.

What I like about this is the immediacy of it.

You’re not doing a completely separate workout. You’re using a few targeted reps to help the body feel the movement, organize the pattern, and then carry that sensation into the swim.

With the WaveBreakers, we can use big rotational arcs and accelerated arm actions to challenge:

Shoulders
Upper back
Core
Rotation
Coordination
Acceleration

Then immediately apply that to the sport.

Prime the movement.
Feel the connection.
Take it into the water.
