You've probably heard of HIIT — high intensity interval training. In fact, you may feel so familiar with the idea that you think you understand it. But do you?People often hold some popular misconceptions about HIIT, and today we'll unpack what some of those are with Dr. Martin Gibala, a foremost researcher of this fitness modality and the author of The One-Minute Workout: Science Shows a Way to Get Fit That's Smarter, Faster, Shorter. Martin explains the main, underappreciated advantage of HIIT, which revolves around the "intensity-duration trade-off": the higher intensity you make exercise, the shorter your workouts can be while still triggering improvements in metabolism, cardiovascular health, and mitochondrial capacity. We get into the fact that the intensity of HIIT needn't be as high as you might think and that, contrary to popular belief, sprinting at intervals is actually a predominantly aerobic rather than anaerobic workout. Martin answers questions like whether Zone 2 cardio has an advantage over HIIT, if the so-called "afterburn effect" of HIIT is real, if you can do HIIT if you're older or have heart problems, and whether you should worry about the way HIIT can raise cortisol in the body. He also shares specific HIIT workouts you can do, including a walking interval workout and one of the best higher-intensity protocols to try.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: Conditioning — What It Is and How to Develop ItAoM Article: You Only Have 15 Minutes to Work Out.

Welcome to the PTI Daily Show. My name is Guillermo Contreras. Happy to be here with you on the best day of the week, Fitness Athlete Friday, talking all things fitness athlete and improving overall fitness in the individuals that we work with on a daily basis, in our clinics, in our gym settings, et cetera. Before we dive into the topic at hand, Let's go ahead and talk a little bit about the fitness athlete courses coming to your area as well as online. Fitness Athlete Live is going to be on the road over the next three months, quite a bit. Next weekend, we're going to be in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the weekend of December 9th and 10th. The weekend, and that's it for 2023, right? But 2024, we jump in right back onto the road. January 27th and 28th, we're going to be in Portland, Oregon. February 10th and 11th, Richmond, Virginia. And then February 24th and 25th, we will be in Charlotte, North Carolina. So plenty of options, whether you're in the mountains on the West Coast or on the East Coast, we're going to be traveling throughout those areas in the next three months or so. So feel free to check out the website, ptinex.com to find out how you can sign up for those. As a reminder, courses in price at the end of this year. So if any of these courses look like something you can get to, you want to get to, you can travel to, you're going to make a plan to get to. Snatch that course up now because right now courses are $650 and they're going to be bumped up to $695 in 2024. So take advantage of the lower price now. Get yourself signed up for those courses and then find a way to get to these courses but just check those out on the website for where those are going to be. And then fitness athlete level one online. The next cohort is going to start up on January 29th. Currently in the middle of a cohort right now. Started finishing up week four right now. So four more weeks there, a little short break, and then we kick back up on January 29th. And then fitness athlete level two, or what is formerly known as advanced concepts, that kicks off on February 4th. Those courses always sell out. We rarely have anyone that wants to get into it that can't get into it after they sell out. So if it's something you've been looking to do, if you're looking to become certified in clinical management fitness athlete through that certification process, then you need to be able to take a one, take the L2, take the live course. And again, that L2 only comes twice a year. So if it's been on your bucket list, something you want to take, sign up now sooner rather than later, because as I mentioned, those courses, All right. Um, so that is the introduction there. That is what we have on the docket. Um, as I mentioned, again, my name is Guillermo Contreras. I'm a physical therapist, uh, over here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a part of the fitness athlete team here with the Institute of Clinical Excellence. THE ASSAULT BIKE FOR VO2MAX DEVELOPMENT The topic today, uh, the title, uh, is VO2 assault or assault on your VO2. I don't know why I wasn't too creative today, but there's there's a reason we're talking about it is The assault bike or the echo bike or like any air bike right we're talking about like this this beast This beautiful thing we have back here the assault bike I have here in my office Is one of the best tools that we can use to work with individuals in the clinic out of the clinic in the gym trying to improve overall cardiovascular conditioning, fitness, metabolic stress, like all these different factors that we can improve upon using a simple piece of machinery. This piece of machinery costs anywhere between $700 for the Assault bike, the standard or the original, I believe is what it's called, up to $840, $850 for the Echo bike, which you can get through Rogue, the Rogue Echo bike. It can go as low as, if you're really just kind of want to pinch pennies there, a couple hundred dollars, maybe $100, $150, or a Schwinn Airdyne. And those Schwinn Airdyne bikes, right, those are, like we used to have one of those from like the 90s that still worked like it was new. They last forever. they work forever, easy maintenance if you just take care of the chain with the rope echo bike a little more expensive because it's belt driven and again that lasts forever very little maintenance so they're just really really nice pieces of equipment to have. The weight limit then on them is around 300 for the soft bike 330 pounds for the echo bike and probably sure a little bit less for just your standard twin airdyne but they make like the airdyne pro that i'm sure has a 300 pound weight limit as well. last and survive through the apocalypse. That's how good these things are. Not only that, but in the clinic space, they are fantastic for working three limb conditioning. If you have any a knee injury, a hip injury, something that does not allow them to do something like running or standard biking or skiing or rowing, right? They have a limb that they cannot use. You can rest that limb and work the other three in a very effective way that increases conditioning overall. And the reason I'm saying all this, and the reason I'm touting up the Assault Bike, the Echo Bike, right, is because there is no reason that we should not have a piece of equipment like this within our clinics. And if we have something like this, there's no excuse for us not using it with our patients. Especially if you work with an athletic population. When you look at the NFL right now, how many people are getting injured? How many injuries are you seeing on a weekly basis? You've seen an excessive amount of Achilles tears, knee injuries, high ankle sprains, all those things. And one of the biggest things you hear when an athlete comes off of what they call the injured reserve is that, are they in game shape? Like they have the strength back, they have their motion back, they can handle the stress on whatever was injured, but are they truly in game shape? Do they have the ability to withstand rep after rep after rep on the field? And honestly, when it comes to conditioning, there is no better device. in a more efficient way than this behemoth, this beast right here, this monster, this thing we love to hate in the fitness athlete realm, in the CrossFit sphere, and in pretty much anywhere you see this bike. EFFICIENT RESULTS WITH THE ASSAULT BIKE This is proven in a wonderful study where it took 32 individuals and it put them in three different groups. The control group was given moderate intensity cardiovascular training. 30 minutes of 75% heart rate max, cardiovascular cycling, 30 minutes rate of 70, 75% of heart rate max. Group number two was given what we know as a Tabata or a half Tabata. They had to do 10 seconds sprints, five seconds of rest for eight sets. They then rested for two and a half minutes and repeated that whole cycle three total times. Group number three was given a standard Tabata, three sets, of eight repetitions of 20 seconds of work at 10 seconds rest. That is your standard Tabata 20 on 10 off eight rounds. They had to do that three sets with a five minute rest between each uh three set round you call it there or each eight set round I'm sorry eight round set. All in all the modern intensity cardiovascular training group did around three The 10-on-5-off group did around 72 minutes of work per week, so around an hour, a little over an hour. And the standard Tavada group, that three, or the eight rounds of 20-on-10-off, did around 144 minutes of work, or just over two and a half hours, sorry, around two and a half hours of work per week. What they found at the end of the study was that there was no significant difference in improvement across all three of them. All three showed improved time to fatigue, improved VO2 max, improved conditioning, and improved ability to create force, improved MET, M-E-T-S, M-E-T-S. But the big picture here, gang, right? Like what we see there is like, okay, like that means we can pick any of those and get someone more cardiovascularly fit. Yes, that is true. You can kind of pick your poison whichever way you want to do it. What we're talking about here is that the short group, the 10 on, five off, 72 minutes of work per week, one hour of work per week, that group was 250% more efficient in the use of their time to improve their cardiovascular fitness, to improve their conditioning, to improve their power output, to improve their time to fatigue than the other two groups that doubled and six times the amount of work. And how we can apply that is like when we're looking at individuals in the clinic, we probably don't have six hours of week to add to their program, to their plan of care, to get their conditioning up. They might not have six hours additional per week to jump on a bike and do 30 minutes of work three times a week as well. And if we want to get someone more conditioning, better shape, better heart health, improve health markers, blood markers, all those things, while also improving pain, reducing pain, improving function, increase in range of motion, whatever our plan is or whatever our goals are for them in the clinic, this device, the AssaultBike, the EchoBike, a nice quality Schwinn Airdyne bike, that is the way we can do it in a very effective, efficient manner. If you can do the same If you can have the same results in less time, people are going to buy in. If you can show somebody, hey, we're just going to do 8 sets of 10 on, 5 off before we start the session. I'm going to jack your heart rate up. I'm going to get your blood flowing. We're going to not only improve your overall cardiovascular fitness, we're not just going to improve your overall health markers. We're not going to just improve your conditioning, which again, if you're looking at working with athletes, whether it be in professional sports, amateur sports, high school sports, whatever it is, you need to build up their conditioning space or their conditioning ability. SHORTS BOUTS; GREAT RESULTS But across all populations, we can all benefit from this. We can all benefit from having better heart abilities, better cardiovascular fitness, better VO2 mass to be able to stand and do things for longer with less fatigue. So by using this device, using short sprint intervals, things like you see behind me, things like 10 on, five off, or eight rounds, three sets, two and a half minutes rest, or simply one set, one set of eight repetitions of 10 on, five off, right? We can have these small things that can affect individuals. It's also something they can easily do for a home program. if conditioning is an aspect they need to work on. If we're trying to get their VO2 max up, we can give them, hey, I want you to jump on the assault bike, jump on the echo bike. I want you to do 10 rounds. Just go as hard as you can. Rest five seconds. Do that eight times. Do that a few times a week. When you're looking at individuals who have Achilles tears, knee injuries, something where they cannot use that limb or it's uncomfortable to use that limb, they can still get after it with three limbs. They can use left leg and both arms and get after it on a soft bike. Again, effort is what matters here. Intensity is what matters. And when we're talking about working with individuals, trying to give them the most effective, efficient way to get better, get stronger, get healthier, and we're thinking of a fitness-forward approach to everything we do, this device, these tools, these strategies, these techniques, in doing that. and nauseam about getting people fit or getting people strong, using intensity as the way to do that. And if you're curious how it works and if it works for you, simply get on an assault bike, get on an airdyne bike, push yourself hard for 10 seconds, work a five seconds rest, repeat, rinse and repeat for eight rounds and see how you feel after that. See how the improvement comes upon there. Hope to see you on the road, gang. Hope to see you online. Thank you for tuning in.

Michael and Kegan sit down with Nate Pack to discuss this year's annual Space Race, which occurs on New Years Eve. Previous editions include a 24-hour Assault Bike challenge in teams of three (580 miles was the final 'winning' score), 12-hour Dante's Triathlon (ski, row, bike 50-40-30-20-10 calories repeated in teams fo 3 or 4 depending on total weight of the team), and a 6-hour 40/400 AMRAP (40 calories plus 400m run) done solo. Continuing to cut total time by 50% would obviously lead to a 3-hour event and no one saw the point in that — the goal must be challenging and difficult enough to cause change or adaptation if that is what one seeks. And the power of having a date or deadline for performance, and people to do it with should not be underestimated.Once the structure of this year's event was determined they delve into the psychological (and physical) limitations of truly hard effort, the challenges of different time domains, and how most people never actually work hard but believe they do. Nate also discusses his impressions of the Capacity manual and the eight-week progression proposed therein ... and how ‘simple' is much harder to abide than we imagine. Within this context they cover the various interval structures and training styles that helped develop them into the athletes they are today.Finally, Michael declares, "You have to rewrite what your brain thinks is hard in order to do something harder ..." and drops the mic.

Matt Bickel takes an inspiring holistic approach to his health and wellness. He shares about his weight loss journey and path into the CrossFit world. He first found some fame in the fitness community for powering out seventy-eight calories on the Assault Bike in one minute. He later would be filmed at an Invictus training camp ripping the handle off of an Assault bike while making a max calorie effort. Blessed with an amazing ability for storytelling these are just a few of the crazy stories Matt shares with us.

This week on the podcast, @robstubbspt and @ashgrossman.coach are joined by @hallmightyone to discuss the testing [read: sadistic torture] they inflicted on Ash the past 4 weeks… on the dreaded Assault Bike. Delving into the data, we find out how “fit” the lab rat truly is, and how the findings could be useful to us all, and transferable to our own training too. We get geeky about ⬇️:

The assault bike is one of the most effective ways to develop cardiovascular endurance. Because it allows more motion of the body, there’s also more room for inefficient or ineffective movements. Get-Fit Guy has tips to improve your form and get the most from your assault bike workout.

100 Miles on an Assault Bike? Why would anybody???

Ok, hopefully, the title raised some alarm bells but it is a topic I have seen a lot on social media (and that exact comparison) so in this episode we are going to talk about the pros and cons to shorter workouts, specifically HIIT Training, including: - Where did the title come from? - A study on steady-state cardio and HIIT Training - Why I think HIIT Training should not be used for beginners while it gets harder the more fit you are - Why I think it's easier to do 45 seconds on the Assault Bike instead of 15 seconds - Why I hate the idea of doing HIIT Training for time-efficient reasons. - Where I think shorter workouts have their place for those looking to get fit. #LetsGoGetEmAgain

 Is anyone else feeling just a little left out because they're not rich enough to join this Peloton craze? Trust me. I'd tear it up on one of these bikes if I could, but I'm just apparently not cool enough. And I'm not sure it would fit in my toy-sized Brooklyn apartment. Not with the dog and the recording equipment. https://youtu.be/VsabBtdCAI4 Is anyone else feeling just a little left out because they're not rich enough to join this Peloton craze? Trust me. I'd tear it up on one of these bikes if I could, but I'm just apparently not cool enough. And I'm not sure it would fit in my toy-sized Brooklyn apartment. Not with the dog and the recording equipment.So what to do, what to do? It points out a really interesting problem in the times of COVID. The same issues with financial and social disparity with boutique fitness gyms like F45, Barry's Bootcamp, CrossFIt, SoulCycle, etc. have followed us into the pandemic.Peloton, NordicTrack, AssaultFitness, Bowflex, and the like are all potent but direly expensive options for those who can afford to live their lives with easier access to fitness solutions. Just food for thought if you're slumming it out with me on the streets, at the track, and with an old rusty kettlebell. You're a fighter. You're scrappy. And you don't need a Peloton.But yeah, I want one too.Please be sure to like, subscribe, provide a five-star rating, and write a review.

Thanks for all of the great questions we received on Instagram! In this episode, we cover topics from training as a masters athlete, to getting better at the Assault Bike to nutrition during your training days. Enjoy.

Jetzt wo die Fitnessstudios wieder auf haben, ging es auch für AC wieder mit Vollgas los. Denn sie hat zwar während der Coronazeit ihr Home Workout gemacht, aber jetzt geht es wieder richtig ans Trainieren. Du fragst dich vielleicht, wieso wir dir das erzählen, denn dies ist ja schließlich kein Sport Podcast. Aber es gibt wenige Bereiche im Leben, bei denen man so eine Nähe an Erkenntnissen hat, die man vom Sport ins Business übertragen kann.  Sport hat AC zum Beispiel gezeigt, dass man alles erreichen kann. Denn sie hat gemerkt, wenn sie sich voll auf ein Ziel fokussiert und dafür die volle Eigenverantwortung übernimmt, darauf hinarbeitet und auch über ihre Grenzen hinausgeht, dann kann sie alles erreichen. Denn je regelmäßiger du Sport machst, desto besser werden deine Ergebnisse.  Am Sonntag hatte sie wieder so ein richtig ekliges Thema auf dem Plan: Intervalle auf dem Assault Bike. Und jeder, der schonmal auf so einem Rad saß, der weiß, dass dieses Ding direkt aus der Hölle kommt! Während sie als diese “Nahtod-Erfahrung” machen durfte, wurden ihr drei Fehler bewusst, die dich zum Mittelmaß verdammen, die sie auch 1:1 bei den Beratern auf ihrem Weg zum digitalen Beratungsunternehmen sieht und die im Endeffekt die Spreu vom Weizen trennen. Und genau hierüber sprechen wir heute in dieser Podcastfolge! Wir haben unseren YouTube Kanal wieder reaktiviert und ein cooles Video gemacht, in dem AC Robert 30 Fragen stellt, die man seinem Chef sonst so nicht stellen würde. Dabei kamen einige coole Antworten heraus und Robert hat in diesem Video außerdem beantwortet, wieviel er sich netto auszahlt.

In this episode Niki and John chatted with Traci Bates who is the owner of the product we all love to hate, Assault Bike. We chatted about all of the ways the bike is terrible and how Traci could own something so evil when she is so incredible kind and nice. This episode is brought to you by Coach Soak and their amazing mineral bath soaks.

In this episode, I'll cover various training protocols for powerful vs. enduring athletes, but first I'll cover technique for Met-Cons, bike setup and more!Support the show (https://zoarfitness.com/get-a-coach/)

Sitting down with Traci and Paul from Assault Fitness, we dive into the masterminds behind the quad dominating, heart rate spiking, aerobic monsters that are the Assault Bike, Assault Bike Elite, and Assault Runner. With unparalelled customer service, Traci and Paul share tips and tricks for doubling the life of your Assault Fitness equipment. Furthermore, we dive into their business model, and examine the question of when the time is right to diversify. From a grassroots effort, to household name, and CrossFit Games go-to piece of equipment, Assault Fitness is here to stay!

Having more visceral fat on your body is associated with a higher mortality rate. What are the risk factors that come with a higher rate of visceral fat? How does weightlifting and cardio fit into a plan to reduce it? How can you become more self-regulating? On this episode, doctors and I talk about the dangers of visceral fat and tips, hacks and strategies to reduce it. Three Takeaways You can eat and get ripped on a diet that’s not necessarily healthy for your arteries. High protein diets in certain individuals will escalate inflammatory markers, but Mediterranean diets work very well. A device like the Skulpt Body Fat Scanner can help you keep track of your body and make you more self-aware and self-regulating. When you build muscle the bone will follow.   At the start of the show, Dr. Rob talked about his upcoming presentations, and then the doctors shared their strategies for reducing visceral fat including diet, exercise and supplements. The doctors also talked about the importance of being realistic about what their patients can do with their health. We also talked about the importance of getting real exercise, not walking the dog or doing steady state cardio. “If you want to burn fat, you have to incorporate high intensity interval training (HIIT), low intensity, long duration exercise doesn’t work for fat burning.” We also answered questions on structural integration, the use of peptides and joint issues   We also talked about: Mediterranean diet vs. animal protein-based diets Mistakes people make with exercise Biomedical systems you can include in your life to get feedback about your body   Visceral fat is hazardous to health because it plays a role in the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer if it goes unchecked. It’s so important to come up with a targeted plan to get rid of hormonally active visceral fat because it will make a big difference to your health. Get your visceral fat measured by a doctor or invest in a biomedical tool that allows you to measure it yourself. Reduce your intake of alcohol, bread, sugar and soda and adopt a Mediterranean diet. Exercise is necessary too, even 20 minutes of HIIT training on an Assault Bike will make a huge difference.

Jason & Traci sit down for a 20-minute AMRAP covering everything from the early days of selling equipment pre-CrossFit, the advent of the Assault Bike, and what's coming next for the biz. Along with her partner, Roger, the duo helped build some of the industry's most successful products. They might not always be the most fun to ride or run but you can find Assault Fitness equipment around the world. Listen up and learn how they did it!

Stu talks us through the huge challenge he set himself to raise funds for his good mate and client of 7 years Tyson. When Stu walked in for the interview he could barely walk but still had a huge smile on his face. What got him through and how did he stay positive throughout the 4 days. Challenges included 300km on the Assault Bike, open water swimming, CrossFit and 55km up steep terrain. This guy is crazy!

This week we gear up and talk with the mastermind behind the world famous Assault Bike series, Nick Trask. 

Armen got his blue belt, the introduction of Paulo Silva, the insanity of Danny Nichols' 10 minute Assault Bike performance, Friday the 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street, and we forgot about Justice League.

Marcus Filly is back for his 5th appearance on the show! Last time we chatted was when I was about to start ATS 2.0. Since then, I've been really intrigued about the intricacies that go into building an engine, pacing, and learning your gears. For some of us, it's that time of year. For others, we just want to not die on the Assault Bike (yours truly). Using myself as a case study, we talk about what breathing progressions might look like for long term development. Due to heightened interest, we keep the dialogue going around functional bodybuilding and the evolution we've seen over the last 6 months since the birth of Awaken Training Series. I measure time in podcast episodes. So this was also a surreal reflection for me from our first episode ever (EP17). Always a fulfilling conversation with this guy. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Johnny Owens is a Physical Therapist who currently serves as the Director of Education at Owens Recovery Science. Previously, Johnny spent 10 years as the Chief of Human Performance Optimization at the Center for the Intrepid (See Video Below).  Here he treated service members, including Ryan Miller from Episode 79, who suffered severe musculoskeletal trauma. I heard Johnny speak at the AMSSM conference this past May in San Diego and was amazed by the incredible knowledge he was sharing on Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and the implications it has for athletes recovering from injury.  Johnny has been published extensively for his work with BFR in the peer reviewed literature and his work has been featured on 60 Minutes, Time Magazine, NPR, Discovery Channel and ESPN.  I have no doubt many of the athletes who listen to this episode can benefit one way or another by adding BFR to their rehab protocol or training regimen. As many of you know, I have been rehabbing from an Osteochonral Autograft Transfer (OATs) surgery I elected to have back in January of 2016.  I have been struggling with moderate to severe kneecap pain and atrophy  since 6 months out from surgery.  The pain has diminished greatly since working with Dr. Danielle Clarke over at Parabolic Performance and Rehab in Little Falls, NJ. However, when I heard Johnny talk about BFR at the AMSSM conference I first thought, I need to get this guy on the podcast and then thought, this could be a potential solution to my lingering knee pain! Johnny told me he thought I would be a good candidate for BFR training. For athletes like me who can't build muscle through lifting heavy loads because it is painful, the anaerobic properties of BFR training have been found to stimulate a similar biological response in the muscle with much lighter weights.  In the above picture, I am performing a step-up with a slow eccentric descent.  Trust me, you have never felt muscle fatigue until you have tried BFR.  It's a deep burn (Insert Ron Burgundy voice).  The single leg squat on the Total Gym is by far the most difficult and uncomfortable, but after having limited use of my quad for over a year, it's also glorious. Since recording this episode with Johnny I have been doing BFR on my leg for the past 3 weeks at Edge Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine.  Considering the large number of physical therapy practices in my area, most of them do not have Owens Recovery System certified PT's.  You can find a list of certified providers in your area on Johnny's website. Since working with Lawrence and Johanns at Edge, I can definitely feel a big difference in the strength of my left leg. Normally when I go out for a ride on my road bike or do some intervals on an Assault Bike, my non-surgically repaired right leg feels like it is doing all the work.  However, I feel much more symmetrical in the last couple rides and workouts I have done. I am excited to see the progress in the coming weeks.  Keep an eye out for some videos on social media of my BFR training. Below you will find notes on my interview with the BFR legend himself, Johnny Owens: BFR is an individualized tourniquet system and is meant to reduce blood flow into an extremity. If you are able to exercise at a low blood flow, you can use lighter weights to get similar results that you would expect from lifting heavy weights. BFR isn't as new of an idea as you might think. Early physiology studies from decades ago look into anaerobic muscle response. Yoshiaki Sato noticed bigger pump effect with BFR. Population Perfect for person recovering from injury because those patients cant handle heavy loads. Geriatric population. Battling sarcopenia after 50, body doesn’t respond to muscle protein synthesis. Athletes in season, won’t beat up the body. Dwight Howard video Both lower tourniquet pressures have an effect and high pressures have an effect. Why not just use a tourniquet? Clinically you can’t ignore the tourniquet literature. Wide and tapered devices to avoid pressure gradients. Contraindications list: Cardiovascular compromised Cancer “Sick person List” Young pediatrics Certification process Over 1000 certified providers Medical License is required PT, OT, ATC, MD Teaching how to use tourniquets. The science: Who wins?  lifting light or lifting light with a tourniquet? Tourniquet Johnny believes lifting heavy still wins overall, but not everyone can. Increase in lactate Growth hormone elevation Proximal changes around the tourniquet Ex. Quad gets so fatigued that the glute has to work harder Downstream fatigue effect Johnny’s work with Active Duty service members starting back in 2004 “The best and most honorable experience I had in my life” Limb salvage population Needed a strength and hypertrophy response and that’s where BFR came in. What goes into the decision to save or amputate a limb? Loading is going to make you bigger and stronger overtime Once you are injured, the body goes haywire Attitude is number one on the list in leading to successful injury outcomes Identity struggles for athletes and veterans How Psychologists and Nutritionists can help in this process. It was hard to ever feel bad for yourself at the center for the intrepid. Johnny's story of 3 ACL injuries: Grew up in west Texas and was the son of a mechanic (That just sounds tough). Played High school football in the same district as Permian High School from the Book "Friday Night Lights". Eventually gravitated to soccer: Blew his knee out playing soccer on a non-contact play in the rain. Eventually re-tore the repaired knee. Johnny talks about the evolution in ACL surgeries and treatments since his initial injury. Got hit by a car and tore it a third time while at The University of Texas at Austin. The third injury was an eye opener for Johnny, because he realized he couldn’t rely on becoming a pro soccer player. Johnny's advice to athletes going through the transition to life after sports is, "what you do does not define who you are". Why staying at the Center for the Intrepid was “Fail better” and how athletes should seek out non-health-hazardous opportunities that makes them uncomfortable. The definition of toughness from the son of a West Texas mechanic. WHERE CAN YOU FIND MORE ON BFR and OWENS ReCOVERY SCIENCE? WEBSITE | Instagram | FACEBOOK | blog WHERE CAN YOU FOLLOW JOHNny Owens?
