Exercise performance

A Platform, Not a Point

We need to strive for more than a single point but rather broad and stable platform.

many traditional models over emphasize proper alignment, gait and/or running mechanics, or some perfectly prescribed and followed exercise/training or rehab routine. Not accounting for any additional contributing factors to adaptation - either positive or negative. we forget that variable;e, dynamic and complex nature of our body systems which can be leveraged to optimize quality of movement and being.

This idea allows for freedom of movement across many different activities with a broad range of perception regarding biochemical feedback. Instead of intense focus on achievement as a success or failure (i.e. did your hit you reps/sets, running mileage, split time or 0/10 pain).

Let’s get away from the rigid notions of single-point oriented biomechanics and training periodization.

So, instead of teetering precariously on a pyramid point, let’s stand confidently on a platform.
