The knee sleeves in strength training story - origin and intent - Pt 1 of 2

So you brought up something and i want you to answer the question and go deep on it the neoprene that you wear the sleeves around the knees you said hey on one of our coaching calls bring it up and i'll go deep into the weeds so Here I am. I want to hear about that because I've followed your advice for years and I've always wore the sleeves and I have some of my own thoughts, but I want to hear yours. I also wear the elbow and I took your advice on the wrist, like everything you said, I knew it came from a place of following you for years. You didn't do it one and done because it was a new trend.Like you did it for a while and you had more than just anecdotal evidence.

[ 00:00:43,020 ]You had participants after participants doing it and you had the results. So there's a lot of things that you say because I'm usually, it's your fault that. When I do things, I like to f**k around and find out, so to speak. Like, I want to play with it and see if it's true for me. Like, I don't think it has gospel, but there's a lot of things that you will say that, yeah, he's been playing with this s**t for a while. So I can go with it. I don't have to field test it as much, if that makes sense...

My own experience with it, I remember back in the day when you wrote a program for me and it was my first exposure. And I'm just like, why am I doing this? Like, what's this about? And I remember being just destroyed by the control drills because I just like it was just something that was just so foreign. I mean, I practically got a workout from it. it was amazing. I mean, at the best feeling, everything felt great. Like, uh, everything was warm. I was mobile. It was just unbelievable. And then the workout was just totally different because of that. So it always, it's always had a place in my heart. And then over the years, I've kind of played with it.Like, cause I remember you had said, um, I forget.

where where if we talked about it or if it was just some one of the things you wrote about how you can use it for hypertrophy and i've played with that and it's just like it was just totally shocking to me and some of the people that i've worked with on how something that doesn't require There's no weight. I don't need no rubber band. I don't need anything other than your body and your ability to figure out where your body is in space and move it can have such a profound effect.

How do you solve an unresolved challenge e.g. injury, when one is applying the same information the caused the problem?

Go back two generations ago and you struggled to find answers to training questions. Information was difficult to obtain. But it was usually good information when you did find it. There was in that generation an unwritten code that you needed to have the runs on the board to justify publishing your ideas.

In the current generation it’s easy to find answers to your training questions. And that’s even before AI! The question is, how good is that information. The old unwritten rules of you have to have proven you are an expert in the real world before you should publish are gone. Everyone with a keyboard is sharing training guidance.

With the current generation swimming in information, there is another challenge that is in part tied to the quality of the information. How do you solve an unresolved challenge e.g. injury, when one is applying the same information the caused the problem

Here’s a real-world example of that quandary….it was not created with the intent to share, but the insights and lessons are too powerful not to be shared....
