Show Notes
In today's episode, I dive into why training cues alone are not going to help you.
In training, there is a big focus on using cues, this idea that just by thinking about the right position, it will somehow magically improve your mobility.
Here's the thing: there are rules you need to follow with the human body. There are rules for how it moves and how to train.
The base layer is movement. It's the most important part, yet for some reason, it's the one thing pushed to the side until you are in pain, injured, or something goes wrong. It's often just an afterthought.
If you layer specific training outcomes on top of a terrible base, eventually it will catch up with you. You are just layering dysfunction on top of poor movement.
Now, I have been the person I'm describing above, so I completely understand the training process and the mindset around it.
I could easily push past how my body felt just to get a session done. I ignored the warning signs pre injury, and over time, I just built up stiffness and became less mobile.
If you want to train hard and move well, this episode is for you.

This weeks episode is all about improving your flexibility and mobility.
How you move is the foundation of your training. Yet most people wait until they are screaming in pain before they take action to work on moving better.
Lower back pain can be such a vague diagnosis and can be really frustrating to be in a cycle of pain and recovery constantly.
In this episode I had the pleasure of sitting down and having a very real conversation with Nick Papastamatis.
