Movement 101

The reality is, most people accept how they move and feel.

𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟. 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. 𝐈𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞.

Live with it long enough and it stops being a problem. It becomes who you are. “I’ve a bad back.” “I’m just not flexible.” “My shoulder’s always been dodgy.”

And your brain keeps you there on purpose.

So they go through their whole lives stiff, restricted, managing the same injuries.

But you don’t have to live in pain. You don’t have to limp through life on the way to death in a stiff, tight, broken-up body. That isn’t living.

There is another way.

Always from the private accounts !

Intelligent training should mean you’re strong, mobile, flexible. Move freely.

That’s the result of an intelligent training approach.

But if you’re training consistently and you’re stiff, tight, injury-prone, joints aching — well, something’s wrong.

And if you continue on that trajectory… where you’re gonna be when you’re fifty, sixty?

Think long term. Train smart.

Our environment. Our beliefs, empowering and disempowering. Our past experiences. Our subconscious mind. What we consume.

We limit ourselves without even realising it. Restricting our own potential. Keeping ourselves small.

There’s always more for us, if we have the courage to get out of our comfort zone and earn it.

Train for the life you dream of.

If you want high performance - you need high maintenance.

Train for the life you dream of

Tight for years? You’re not alone. And it’s not something I’d ignore long-term.

It’ll drain your energy. It’ll stop you reaching your physical potential. It’ll wear you down, year after year.

And most of the time it’s not your muscles. It’s a nervous system stuck on.

I made a simple guide on how to spot the tension you can’t even feel, and let it go.

Under-fuel the repair and your body can’t rebuild what training breaks down. So it stays broken.

I made a full protein guide - how much, where to get it, what supplements are worth it.

What’s going on there?

𝐈’𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫. A powerful, powerful athlete. Struggling with groin issues for an awful long time.

The testing said his adductors were strong. But there were ranges of motion he just couldn’t get into.

Position dictates function, okay? If you can’t get into a position, you won’t be strong in it. Muscle testing devices are limited.

This is what I see again and again. People look at strength through a narrow lens. What you lift, squat, deadlift. That matters, I’m not saying it doesn’t.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤. Treat range of motion as a warm-up afterthought and it catches up with you.

A couple of months in, he’s feeling the best he’s felt in years. Freedom and control in his hips he didn’t have before. Because he strengthened his weak areas and improved his movement capacity.

The drill in this video is one most people will never program. But it’s brilliant for hip function.

Give this a go. Three sets. Walk around before and after, and notice the difference.

Your body doesn’t know the difference between a strength, power, rehab or mobility exercise. It’s all physical training. The skill is delivering it intelligently, for the individual in front of you.

That’s training with intelligence. Not hit and hope.
