⚽5 to 22. Seventeen years of my life on a soccer field. ⚽

It gave me my best friends, my first taste of what my body could do, and a reason to be outside all summer — just me and a couple friends, shooting and running until the light ran out.

The injuries were real. So was the love. Messi, Ronaldinho, the way they made it look like art — that never left me.

Soccer is where my love of movement started. It's why I do what I do now.

Hiring a trainer is weirdly vulnerable — you're handing your body and your money to a stranger and hoping they respect both.

So here's your green-flag / red-flag checklist.

You're the expert on your body. A good trainer just brings the knowledge to match it. Questions about what to look for? My DMs are open. 🫶

The deadlift is not a leg exercise.

The hip hinge is a total body movement. Your posterior chain, core, grip, and upper back are all working at once. That level of demand means your nervous system fatigues just as much as your muscles do.

Here's how I program it:
Deadlift: 3–5 reps, 3–4 sets, 2–3 min rest. Lower reps keep quality high and let you load heavier without form breaking down. This is only after someone can demonstrate safe loading in the higher rep range with lighter loads.

RDL: 6–10 reps, 3–4 sets, 2–3 min rest. You can accumulate time under tension here without the same technical risk.

Rest is non-negotiable on both. Cutting it short doesn't make you tougher, it just makes your next set worse.

Program your hinge pattern with the same intention you'd give any skill-based movement — because that's exactly what it is.

Why the hip hinge belongs in your week — plus some variations and the mistakes to watch for.

The hinge trains the strongest muscles you've got: your glutes and hamstrings, the whole back of your body. It teaches you to load your hips instead of your spine, which is exactly what protects your back when you pick something heavy up off the floor. And almost nothing you do in a gym carries over to real life better — every grocery haul, every kid lifted, every box off the ground is a hinge.

Learn to hinge well and you're not just stronger in the gym — you're harder to hurt everywhere else.

The hip hinge is the most useful move you're probably avoiding.

It's not a back exercise. It's how you pick things up off the floor without paying for it later — groceries, the dog, your kid, a loaded bar. Same pattern.

Most people skip it because it's awkward to learn. That awkward phase? That's the whole point. Learning how to do it right will save you in the long run so you don't have to think about it when life calls.

This week: how to do it, how to program it. Save this one.

If you're resting 30 seconds between explosive sets, you're not doing power training.
You're doing conditioning.
The two most undertrained variables in power work aren't the exercises — it's the rest and the intent. Power training requires 2–5 minutes between sets. That's not laziness. That's the mechanism.
Fewer reps. Fewer sets. Longer rest. Protect the quality of every single rep.
Save this if you program your own training.

Most people start with box jumps. We start with landing.
Here's the progression I use with every new jumper before we ever talk about height or distance:

1️⃣ Snap down
2️⃣ Depth drop
3️⃣ Non counter movement jump
4️⃣ Countermovement jump
5️⃣ Box jump (interchangeable with 6)
6️⃣ Broad jump

Each step earns the next. Power is a skill — and like any skill, it has a foundation.
Which step are you on?
