On this episode I'm joined by David Weck, the inventor of the BOSU ball and many other training tools who has been a major influence on my understanding of body, movement and athleticism. He has a wealth of knowledge and I had an opportunity to video conference and record with him 3 different times to discuss these subjects which we are both so passionate about. As it's 3 different conversations together, the podcast length is close to 3 hours so feel free to pause and come back to it several times.To give you an idea of some of the topics covered, David started with the concept of volumetric displacement of the core as a way to understand the internal and external torsion necessary for fundamental survival activities like locomotion, swinging, throwing, catching, and carrying.He talked about how efficient movement is about pruning away inefficiencies and emphasizing the intelligent use of the skeleton as the body's strong framework. We touched on the relationship between structure and function: the main principle being that structure dictates function, and function reshapes structure over time. Next we covered fascia, the ubiquitous tissue container and network of the nervous system of the body, which plays a pivotal role in coordinating movement, linking different parts of the body, and enabling polar muscle activation.Also, David addressed the biggest misconception in the fitness industry where people are taught that the main function of the spine is anti rotation and that it should be stiff, which is incorrect. We both highlighted rope flow as a powerful movement tool that reinforces the coiling core movement pattern, a pattern that instills a "poised to pounce" readiness and enhanced fight-or-flight capability.That is just scratching the surface of what we talked about.

Did you ever as a child grab a length of rope, run screaming around the yard and swing it around with abandon and joy?Sometimes, the most unassuming tools hold the greatest potential for transformation. Rope flow might look like play, but beneath the surface lies a practice that can unlock balance, coordination, and deeper mind-body connection.In this conversation with David Weck, the Godfather of Rope Flow and a mad scientist in functional movement we'll discuss body and movement. How simple, dynamic practices can improve not only physical performance but also neurological integration and proprioception. His approach blends creativity, science, and connects up with Chinese medicine in some surprising ways.Listen into this discussion as we unravel the origins of rope flow, how figure 8 patterns can boost brain function, the importance of spinal mobility, and how engaging your left and right brain symmetrically can change your body awareness. That Mind/Body thing we are always going on about— we take it to the playground.

Various methods exist to understand human body function, including respiration, joint position, and movement assessment. Julien Pineau's "Torque Chains" simplifies this process, focusing on muscle layout and sensation of movement. Chris and DJ, incorporating ideas from Julien and David Weck (coiling), created a course called "Torque Chains." This course explores movement using internal and external torques ("fire" and "ice"), variations of these torques, and transitions between modes during complex movements. In today's episode, Chris and DJ delve into "fire" (ET) and "ice" (IT) torque chains. They discuss their applications for different populations, exercise implications, strengths vs. weaknesses, muscle chains' relation to psychology, running applications, and more. These concepts offer a profound understanding of body function, presenting an effective approach to movement analysis. Today's episode is brought to you by TeamBuildr, the Plyomat, and LILA Exogen.

And I'm like, oh, well, if you could. Well, you could mix and split the torque so you could do it the other way” DJ Murakami (00:10:28) "I tend to listen to what the body's already doing or what I'm seeing from somebody, and I'll amplify it if all feels good, or I'll try the opposition of it if it's not." - Chris Chamberlin (12:03) An easy one to visualize is like, for hinging, like a sumo powerlifting, sumo deadlift would be more toward the ET. So that's the fire. And then for ice, we could think like a hinge, or the first part of picking up a stone or sandbag. DJ Murakami

IntroductionHey friends and fam, it's J-Mart and this is State of Health. Today we're delving into the journey of my 2023 New Year's resolution to run a half marathon in 2 hours or less (meaning a pace of 5:42 min/km or faster) without incurring an injury. Why, you might ask? Well, besides the typical "new year, new me" vibe, I decided to take up running as a strategic move to improve my endurance for when I'm playing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I wanted to use cross-training to boost my performance on the mats, and what better way than getting outside and clocking in kilometers?Now, let's rewind a bit. About a decade ago, I took a swing at a full marathon, but due to lack of appropriate preparation I had to throw in the towel at the 30 km mark. Fast forward to today, and the half marathon became the first step of a multi-year plan to take another shot at that elusive full marathon. Join me as I share the details of my training process and the lessons I learned, the race day experience, the results and my insights.BackgroundBefore we dive into the specifics of my half marathon training, let's quickly go over how I arrived at this particular goal. Quick shout-out if you've already listened to my State of Health #19 podcast with my personal trainer friend Daniel Yores where we talked about our fitness goals for 2023, why we wanted to go for those goals specifically and how we planned to accomplish them. Despite having different objectives, our approaches were surprisingly similar. You can catch the full podcast and glean some actionable fitness advice by clicking here. It's worth a listen for some fitness inspo!Specifically, my goal was to run the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in 2 hours or less without hurting myself. Beyond the finish line, this goal was about enhancing my cardiovascular fitness to up my game in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Running was simply the method I used to boost my endurance, a key player for success on the Jiu-Jitsu mats. Running was also a good fit specifically for me because of my previous failed attempt at running a full marathon. My last attempt was a rushed endeavor, lacking the depth of knowledge on effective training strategies. The completion of a full marathon is an unfinished chapter of my life that I wish to close by applying my newly acquired knowledge to train effectively and efficiently and being wise enough to have a multi-year approach to ensure that I'm fully prepared. 2023 was the year of the half marathon and 2024 will be the year to complete a full.Now, let's talk about how I came up with this goal specifically. Well, I applied the SMART goal approach. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. It is used to guide goal setting to make sure goals are clear and reachable. Let's go over it together.Specific: I defined who, what, when, where, and why. The goal had clear answers for all these questions.Measurable: I set clear metrics – 21.1 km, aiming for less than 2 hours, and steering clear of injuries.Achievable: Many others have accomplished a similar goal successfully. I've got resources such as trails nearby and home training equipment and the knowledge and plan to do the same.Realistic: With a generous 7-month timeline I felt confident I would be prepared even while training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu more frequently than running.Timely: The Toronto Waterfront race day was scheduled for October 15th. It lit a fire under me, keeping the goal time-bound.Besides my previous training experience, I had two new influential figures shaping my running training, David Weck and Dr. Matt Minard. David Weck, the man behind the BOSU ball, has been a digital mentor of mine for a few years as I've followed him on Instagram (@thedavidweck) and slowly absorbed the concept of the spinal engine for balanced locomotion. Dr. Matt Minard, on the other hand, a Physical Therapist who I came across on Instagram (@learn.2.run) at the beginning of this year, taught me to economize movement to maximize distance. I'll get more specific about exactly what techniques I learned from each individual later on in the post/podcast.TrainingIn crafting a plan to run the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon in two hours, I divided my training into four phases spanning seven months. During the initial phase, lasting two months, my focus would be on building a robust foundation. The plan was to do weight training 2-3 times a week and start a consistent running routine, gradually increasing distance from 5 to 10 km. The plan for the subsequent phase was to discontinue weight training to focus on increasing the distance of runs to 15 km in one run and 21 km accumulated in one week. Next, I would transition to a six-week speedwork and peak training phase by adding hill sprints and completing at least one slow 21 km run outside of the 2 hour limit. Finally, the last phase of the plan was a 2 week tapering phase aimed to optimize readiness by reducing mileage. Half Marathon Training Plan4 phases: 7 monthsPhase 1: Build Foundation- 8 weeksPhase 2: Build Endurance - 12 weeksPhase 3: Speedwork and Peak Training - 6 weeksPhase 4: Taper - 2 weeksBuild Foundation - 8 weeks* Build muscular endurance for major leg muscles (quads, hip flexors, glutes and adductors) with strength training ideally 2-3x per week 20-30 minute sessions* Get body used to running (tissue resiliency)* Establish a consistent running routine of short runs ideally 2x per week* Gradually increase running distance of one of the runs from 5 to 10 km by the end of the phase * Don't worry about speed, do easy recovery jogging, conversational pace to keep runs in Zone 2 (60-70% of your maximum heart rate, 190 max HR - 114-133)Build Endurance - 12 weeks* Maintain running routine and add short runs when schedule allows* Focus on building cardiovascular fitness with at least 1 long distance run (10-15 km) per week* Increase weekly mileage to 21 km by the end of the phase * Keep runs in Zone 2Speedwork and Peak Training - 6 weeks* Incorporate hill sprints into running routine at least 1x per week* Keep 1 long distance run per week at Zone 2 pace* Complete one 21 km run in over 2 hour time limit by end of the phaseTaper - 2 weeks* Reduce weekly mileage and distance of individual runs to 5 km or less at Zone 2 pacePutting theory into action, I started the Foundation phase in early March with these short strength training sessions minimum 3 days a week.App:A. Squat to forward fold 1x10B. Downward dog to upward dog 1x10Main: (pick one)A1. Weighted squat variation 3x15-20A2. Weighted lunge variation 3x10-15/sideB. KB Swing variation 3-10x10orA1.

Tibialis raise variation 1x20-100orA. Hip flexor raise variation 1x20-100B. Hamstring curl variation 1x20-100The program primarily aimed to build muscular endurance and enhance tissue resilience, focusing specifically on lower body joints. I accumulated a high volume by programming high rep ranges for bilateral and unilateral squats, deadlifts and lunges. I varied training speeds by combining slow and controlled movements with explosive kettlebell swings, cleans and snatches. Each session concluded with two max effort single joint exercises targeting either ankles, knees or hips. These workouts were designed to be time-efficient, considering my constrained schedule. Additionally, I performed a daily set of 100 bodyweight squats and incorporated supplementary stretches for leg muscles as needed. Here is a list of the key stretches I employed:Stretches: 3 x 60-120 secondsCouch stretch for quads and hip flexors Forward fold for hamstringsPancake for adductorsPigeon for glutesDownward dog and half kneeling lunge for calves In less than four weeks I was starting to feel the effects of strength training on my body which coincided with a significant improvement in the weather allowing me to begin outdoor runs. I went on my first run on March 24th, initiating a sequence of 22 slow training runs, interspersed with four hill sprints in the Peaking phase. My preparation also encompassed a short trail run organized by 5 Peaks Adventures, all leading up to the half marathon on October 15th.Throughout the 7 months, I maintained a rhythm of about one run per week which was less than ideal but proved sufficient for my needs while also accommodating my twice-weekly commitments to Jiu-Jitsu. I strategically expanded the distance covered during my runs by incorporating 'consolidation' runs of similar or shorter distances. Notably, I increased the distance immediately after a single consolidation run five times and after two consolidation runs four times.My average pace during runs was intentionally slow, aligning with my goal of completing the half marathon without incurring an injury. Risk of injury is always higher at higher speeds so I remained slow. I also determined that I would follow the 80/20 principle and use 80% of my training on slow Zone 2 runs where the goal is to keep the heart rate below 140 bpm and 20% to Zone 5, involving hill sprints that approached my maximum heart rate. For improved cardiovascular adaptations I practiced nasal breathing during more than 80% of my slow Zone 2 runs.The pace of my initial 5 km run, the most frequently repeated distance in my training (10 out of 22), was 8:52 and (to my surprise) it improved to 5:14 on my final run before the race. The fastest pace I achieved for long distance runs above 10 km was 6:19 for an 11 km run on June 10th. Starting mid August, I incorporated sprints on a short, steep hill near where I live which perfectly loops back on a gentle trail down the hill to a field below. I would sprint up the hill with maximum effort and slowly walk down the trail, ensuring I resumed running only when my heart rate dropped below 140 bpm. After 6 loops up and down the hill I would get sufficiently exhausted and return home. Unlike my slow Zone 2 runs, I did not employ nasal breathing during sprints to enable maximal effort with an open mouth. While the hill sprints were an all-out affair, judging the intensity of the slow Zone 2 runs proved to be a very subjective task. Seeking a more objective approach, I created a points system to evaluate the intensity of each run by factoring in two crucial data points: average pace and duration, resulting in a numerical value termed "Run Intensity."Run Intensity = (Points for Average Pace) + (Points for Run Duration)Points for Run Duration is easy. It's simply the number of minutes it took to complete the run. To calculate the Points for Average Pace, convert the pace to a 3-digit number and subtract from 1000. By doing so we reverse the scale, ensuring that faster paces result in higher points, aligning with the goal of correlating higher intensity with greater numerical values in the Run Intensity calculation. This approach provides a clear and standardized method for evaluating the intensity of each run, making it easier to compare runs and track progress over time.Taking my first run on March 24th as an example, which lasted 46 minutes with an 8:52 pace, we convert the pace to a 3-digit number (852) and apply the formula:Run Intensity for March 24th = 1000 − 852 + 46 =194Here's another example from October 10th of the last 5 km run I did with a pace of 5:14 in 26 minutes a few days before the race. This run gave me a glimmer of hope that I could possibly reach my goal of completing the half marathon in under 2 hours.Run Intensity for October 10th = 1000 - 514 + 26 = 512I want to share one more example to give a good idea of how this scale works in case you want to use a similar system for keeping track of your runs.On September 20th, I ran my longest training run of 21 km with a deliberately slow pace of 6:54 for 2 hours and 25 minutes. Run Intensity for September 20th (21 km training run) = 1000 - 654 + 145 = 491Interestingly the Run Intensity score for this half marathon training run, while significantly high, is actually lower than the score for the 5 km run on October 10th because the pace is more than a minute and a half per kilometer slower than that short run. This formula significantly prioritizes the impact of running pace on intensity because I had a time limit component to my goal. You could formulate personal ways to calculate Points for Average Pace and Duration that give each category different weighting based on your goals. Perhaps weighting the run duration more by simply doubling the minutes in the calculation would serve you better for calculating Run Intensity. Lastly, I noted that Calories burned during each run could also be used as an indicator of Run Intensity, however they were less helpful specifically for me because of the significant inherent duration bias in that calculation.  The table below lists the average pace, duration, calories and calculated Run Intensity for each Zone 2 run, with instances of achieving new personal bests highlighted. Initially, improvements in running pace led to new records in Run Intensity points, but eventually, as the pace plateaued, run duration had to be increased to break the points record. It's crucial to note that, for sustainable training and injury prevention, significant improvements were made in either pace or duration, but not both simultaneously. Running Techniques I LearnedAs someone who never had a track and field coach to assess my running technique, this training cycle really forced me to think deeply about the intricacies of running. My understanding of running mechanics was significantly enhanced by principles I learned from David Weck and Dr. Matt Minard, thus refining my running technique to optimize speed and endurance.Let's start with a simple definition: running is rapid locomotion on feet. In contrast to walking, the main difference is that in running there's a brief period where both feet come off the ground. While some vertical movement is unavoidable, Dr. Matt Minard's cue “to push with the tush” reminds me to push the earth backwards using glutes to minimize vertical movement and maximize horizontal propulsion.Another valuable insight from Dr. Matt Minard is to hinge from the ankles, leaning forward such that the torso is angled between 12 and 1 o'clock on a clock's face. By doing so I harness gravity to work in my favor, creating forward motion without energy expenditure.One crucial tip from Dr. Matt Minard was incorporating heel striking into my runs. Previously I favored exclusively forefoot striking to leverage the Achilles tendon for a bounce. However, I didn't realize that by doing so I was slowing myself down unnecessarily. In essence, running is a continuous interplay of acceleration and deceleration as one leg pushes the ground back to propel you forward and increase speed while the other leg lands and absorbs the ground to decrease speed. Heel striking minimizes braking, facilitating a quicker transition back to acceleration. Gliding forward with a heel strike is self-evidently more efficient than striking with a forefoot when we consider walking. Landing on the floor with your forefoot while walking slows down the forward glide and creates an awkward Elmer Fudd like movement. The only time we normally use the forefoot as the first point of contact with the ground is when we walk down a set of stairs which make sense because we need to slow down our speed as we descend down to prevent a fall. For my runs now, I strategically employ both heel and forefoot striking based on the terrain—heel striking for flat surfaces or uphill climbs and forefoot striking for descents, minimizing impact on ankles and knees. This nuanced understanding has allowed me to run faster and save precious energy for extended runs.Dr. Matt Minard's insights provided a solid foundation for running mechanics but what I learned from David Weck added another layer of more in-depth understanding of balanced locomotion. Let's start with another definition. During a run, that leg absorbing the ground then transitioning to pushing the ground back can be summed up by three words: land, load and launch. It's important to have this framework and understand that when our body position is out of balance it's much harder to land, load and launch. That's why the key to efficient running is balanced locomotion with “head over foot” as the main cue to make that happen. As popularized in “The Spinal Engine” by Serge Gracovetsky, I believe that the spine is the primary engine that makes us move. Gait, generally, and running, specifically, are not simply a function of the legs only but of the whole body. If you search “walking with no legs” in YouTube, you'll come across this video of a double leg amputee walking with no prosthetics by using his spine to create a short and long side and counter rotating shoulders and hips to each other to make locomotion happen. This is exactly what the “head over foot” cue, which I got from David Weck, accomplishes without so many words. If you position your head over your foot right at landing, the spine creates a long and short side and the hips and shoulders counter rotate but you also achieve a state of balance on each step. Therefore, there is no wasted energy to land, load and launch making your running more fluid and energy efficient so you can add distance. One thing I personally noticed right away when I started to run with the “head over foot” cue in mind was my hip felt easier to extend as far as possible and more natural. To further amplify the rebound effect in the load and launch phase, I incorporated the techniques of double down pulsing and wringing the wrists from David Weck. These are difficult subjects to try to unwind in this format but I'll do my best. Let's start with the double down pulse. When you perform a double down pulse, both hands are moving down during the split seconds before the foot touches the ground. Here's what that looks like. The goal of the techniques is to use the upper body to deliver more total force into the ground. As I already said, we want to push the ground back and maximize horizontal propulsion, however some vertical movement is unavoidable. By moving both hands down right before the foot touches the ground, we increase the vertical rebound which gives more time for greater horizontal propulsion. Essentially, the double down pulse makes me apply as much force into the ground as possible and connects my upper and lower body in synchrony for running.Wringing the wrists or the spiraling action of the arms is harder to explain so I recommend you to check out this post by David Weck himself about it. In short, the arms alternate between fully spiraling internally and externally to integrate upper body fascia with legs and feet for optimal running.As I was incorporating these principles into my running, I began practicing rope flow to enable my body to have better timing and balance for rotating my spine for head over foot locomotion. What is rope flow? It's a movement practice that takes away the “jump” component from using the jump rope so that the body is forced to rotate with every rep thus creating a dynamic practice that swiftly reinforces the lessons learned from David Weck. It's really fun to practice and has been a welcomed addition to my daily movement practice.By integrating these insights from Dr. Matt Minard and David Weck, my running technique evolved profoundly. Dr. Minard's emphasis on 'pushing with the tush' and ankle hinging provided a solid foundation, optimizing efficiency through strategic foot striking. David Weck's techniques, including 'head over foot,' 'double down pulse,' and 'wringing the wrists,' added depth, fostering balanced and energy-efficient strides. The rope flow practice solidified these lessons, contributing to a feeling of confidence as the half marathon approached. Having said all that, besides training and refining my running technique, navigating the path toward my half marathon goal also entailed managing health challenges as they arose. While my initial concerns centered on the possibility of injuries from Jiu-Jitsu sidelining me, a less anticipated hurdle emerged in mid-September. A seemingly routine respiratory illness took a drastic turn, triggering gastrointestinal distress that persisted for weeks. Stomach pain became a constant feeling, disrupting my nutrition and resulting in a significant 10 pounds weight loss. Luckily this happened during a planned taper period of my training, however even a slow 5 km run at this time felt like a Herculean effort, erasing months of progress. I feared I would have to cancel the half marathon run putting reaching my goal in jeopardy, but miraculously, a week before the scheduled run on October 15th, I began to recover. As my health significantly improved, I achieved my fastest pace in a 5 km run, just days before the scheduled half marathon. This unexpected health saga added a layer of uncertainty to my journey, testing both my physical resilience and mental fortitude. As I approached the half marathon, a deep sense of gratitude welled within me—for the recovery, the opportunity to run, and the chance to break that two-hour goal I set for myself.Race Day and ResultsRace day began at 7 am as I woke up and packed my bag with essentials like a water bottle and pre-run snacks. With my kids safely in the care of their grandparents, I could focus on the upcoming race. After a light breakfast of yogurt and berries, I quickly made my way to the subway station to catch the first train to the race start line near Nathan Phillips Square. During the journey, I practiced breathing exercises to ease any lingering nervousness.Before handing my bag to the event organizers and heading to the start line, I adhered to my pre-run ritual of consuming a large tablespoon of honey with Himalayan pink salt in order to remain hydrated and run without feeling thirsty. In lieu of a spoon, I used apple slices to scoop all the honey and salt into my mouth, followed by drinking at least half the water in my water bottle. I wanted to recreate these familiar conditions of how I trained for race day so that I would not need to stop at any water stations throughout the course because I hate the feeling of water sloshing back and forth inside me when I drink mid-run.I also consumed a sports drink called HVMN just before the race. It's a caffeine and sugar-free drink that provides the body with ketone esters as an added source of energy to boost performance. Ketones are an efficient source of energy that become available to the body when we fast or significantly restrict carbohydrate consumption to induce ketosis. Consuming the drink induces a short period of ketosis without fasting or carb restriction. I had bought and tried this ketone ester drink many years ago with a positive outcome but had one bottle remaining. It worked equally well this time as low energy levels were never part of the race and I attribute the ketone ester energy drink in large part to that success. The boost of energy from the bottle had a lasting effect that remained with me for the whole race. Note that ketone esters are different from popular ketone salt supplements in that they provide a stereospecific isoform of ketones making them more potent. The only negative about the ketone esters is their bad taste which also lingers for a while. At the start line, I felt energized and anxious to get going. I was surrounded by a sea of runners where I had little personal space but found peace knowing we were all about to embark on a collective journey. My opening km was intentionally the slowest of the entire run at 5:49, allowing me to gauge the average pace needed to achieve my 2-hour goal. Once confident, I turned on the jets and completed the first third with relative ease at an average pace of 5:08. At one point I noticed that my Achilles tendon felt a little sensitive after a long downhill stretch leading to the waterfront where I was mainly forefoot striking. Once I reached the waterfront, the ground became flat and I switched to heel striking which made the pain go away. Later on, when I switched back to forefoot striking the sensitivity was gone.Navigating the middle section, I strategically maintained a slower pace of 5:25, resisting the urge to go too fast as I anticipated a significant slow down during the last third of the run. I remember feeling pleased to reach the 14 km mark and knowing that only the last third of the race remained. My average pace continued to slow down to 5:28 from 14-20 km as muscle soreness especially in my right hamstring made itself really apparent.Despite physical fatigue finally setting in, my mental focus persisted thanks in large part to the music I was listening to. Fuelled by my favourite album, Daft Punk's Alive 2007, and the cheering crowd of people all along the race track, equipped with funny signs and motivating words, I was in a positive mindset to finish strong. I unleashed a full sprint for the last km, passing every competitor in sight and setting a pace of 4:13—over a minute below the average pace for the entire half marathon at 5:24.I completed the race in 1:53:48, six minutes under my 2-hour goal. This was by far my most intense run all season and I was glad I saved it for race day.InsightsHere are a few insights I've gained now that the training season and half marathon are completed.Let's first address the most important reason why I personally set goals—to improve, to get better, to adapt. Adaptation is a keystone to the whole goal-setting process. At the onset, this goal was beyond my current capabilities, but I firmly believed that, with the right training plan, my body could Adapt and surpass its existing limits. Armed with training knowledge and experience, I crafted a plan tailored to my specific needs.Once I started the training plan, I realized my ideal training frequency wasn't feasible. However, despite being able to train only once a week, I observed continual progress that brought me closer to reaching my goal. Adapting the training plan to make it more sustainable is equally important as the adaptations your body makes in response to the training plan. The importance of flexibility in pursuit of long-term goals can not be emphasized enough.Another way of being flexible is being resilient in the face of adversity. Getting sick near the end of the training cycle, as I did, felt like a significant blow, casting doubt on the progress I had made. I had to have faith that when I recovered, I would be the version of myself with adaptations from executing the training plan. Adaptation is not only about crafting the perfect plan but also about having the resilience to navigate unexpected obstacles and trusting the body's innate capacity to rebound, recover, and ultimately adapt.It's also important to adopt a holistic approach to reaching your goals. Complementing the physical training, my diet and nutrition were held to high standards, ensuring my body received optimal fuel for performance and recovery. On the mental front, injecting an element of enjoyment into the training, despite running not being my favourite activity, helped me stay motivated and engaged throughout the process. Focusing on my breathing during runs created a profound mind-body connection and fostered mental focus capable of reaching the goal.A major shift in my thinking with regard to running was realizing I could glide better with a heel strike. Initially, I adhered strictly to forefoot striking in my running technique, but thanks Dr. Matt Minard, I embraced a more versatile approach and integrated both heel and forefoot striking into my training. This shift allowed me to leverage multiple strategies, adapting my running style based on varying terrains, speeds, and conditions. By acknowledging the importance of versatility in foot striking, I enhanced my adaptability and my body's resilience by adapting to the different forces produced by the different striking patterns.My ultimate insight from adopting multiple strategies is that there is no right or wrong technique to running. To me, running technique is an outcome of the interaction between the unique individual and the unique location where the run is occurring. Not only does running technique constantly change with changes in terrain and other environmental conditions but is also influenced by changes in the runner's goals and motivations and even skeletal structure.If there is no right or wrong running technique, that underscores the importance of managing the intensity and frequency of training sessions to allow for the body's adaptation and growth without reaching a breaking point. Drawing an analogy to the skin, when stress is applied gradually, the skin builds resilience in the form of a callus, whereas a blister forms when a sudden and excessive stress is applied. While perfecting running mechanics undoubtedly contributes to efficiency, the intensity of each run determines how close you get to unleashing excessive stress that the body is not ready for, resulting in acute injury or the proverbial blister.There is a delicate balance between stress and injury, as given the right dosage of stress at regular intervals, the body can flourish and adapt to new capacity. It's a reassuring perspective, knowing that the commitment to consistent training holds the key to unlocking the body's incredible adaptive potential.During my half marathon run, I took note of runners of all different shapes and sizes and age groups displaying unique running techniques. Many of the people I noted, I thought, were exhibiting inefficient techniques, yet a handful were running as fast as I was, some even faster. The diverse running techniques I witnessed really highlighted the adaptability of the human body. As I was running, I was thinking about how the beauty of running lies not just in the pursuit of a singular perfect form but in the individualized journey of adaptation and growth.ConclusionCompleting the half marathon has been a fun journey that has filled me with a profound sense of accomplishment and a thirst for more. I have more appreciation than ever for the incredible capacity of the human body to adapt to stress and stimuli. I look forward to restarting the process for the full marathon journey and embracing the new cycle of growth and adaptation. I encourage others to take on similar physical challenges appropriate to their capabilities. I invite you, the reader, to set your sights on a challenging goal that is beyond your current limits. It doesn't have to be to run a half marathon like I did, but it can be. The beauty of embarking on such a pursuit is not just in the physical achievement but in the transformative process you must undertake. The flexibility and resilience you must display throughout the process of growth and adaptation becomes a permanent fixture in your persona, fostering a mindset and a belief in your ability to overcome obstacles.The many different running techniques I noted during the race also underscored to me the individualized nature of accomplishing challenging goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to success, and each individual takes a unique path to discover the incredible potential that lies within. Just remember to embrace the journey and adapt to it.QUESTIONWhat is the longest distance you could run in 2 hours?Time codes0:00 - Start0:41 - Introduction1:48 - Background5:30 - Training11:19 - Running Techniques I Learned20:47 - Race Day and Results25:49 - Insights31:07 - Conclusion32:38 - OutroConnect with J-Mart on Social MediaNostr - npub1cqfrrgxs6mwpl2xpmh2kzw322qv2n0e4r65jllzncv65krmvwhnsct3p5uEmail - jmartfit@substack.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jmartfit/ ​X - https://twitter.com/jmartfit Facebook - https://fb.me/jmartmoves ​Medium - https://jmartwrites.medium.com/Also listen to JMART CAST, my Monday Morning Bitcoin Podcast about physical and financial health.

David Weck is a fitness innovator, biomechanist, BJJ blue belt, and a world-class performance coach to professional athletes worldwide. His methods of the coiling core, rotational movement training, and bilateral torsion training are based on the understanding of the Spinal Engine Theory.This theory poses that movement originates in the core. The core is what powers humans forward through space. The standing belief amongst the greater fitness industry is that the core mainly transfers force, and it's primary function is to resist rotation.David believes this “braced core” model is the cause of increases in non-contact sports injuries, and robs athletes of power, strength, and durability. His methods, in contrast, develop pure athletic ability, including strength, power, and longevity.Learn about David Weck and his innovative training methods here, in the latest episode of the Order & Progress Podcast.In this episode you will learn:What is the Spinal Engine TheoryWhy the standing “braced core” model is wrong, and may be causing the rise of non-contact injuriesWhy it's still important to do bilateral training like deadliftsWhat is the coiling core, rotational movement training, and bilateral torsion trainingHow these methods will help your BJJ performanceHow his methods reduce injuries and improves longevityHow to get started with the Weck MethodLearn more at seekprogress.com and follow us at @seek.progressSign up for weekly BJJ performance and longevity content here.

Today's podcast features David Weck and Chris Chamberlin of WeckMethod. David Weck is biomechanist, and the creator of a number of inventions that work key characteristics of human locomotion and movement, including the BOSU Balance Trainer.  David started the WeckMethod as a project to inspire and educate individuals on the importance of optimizing's human balance through locomotion as he works to make “Every Step Stronger” for everyone. Chris Chamberlin is the Head Coach and Director of Education for the WeckMethod. Chris has over 15 years of coaching experience and a lifetime of personal practice in movement efficiency that has earned him recognition as a leader in innovative thought in the fitness industry.  Chris has both a creative approach to multi-planar training, as well as impressive “raw” strength levels in the traditional lifts. If you browse the internet, you will easily see a lot of “functional” training exercises, designed to catch eyeballs, that build neither strength, nor functional ability.  The key in the effectiveness of any movement beyond a basic strength exercise is in its patterning, and closeness to the key characteristics of human locomotion, swinging and throwing.  When you find movements that allow your body to truly feel more of what it uses in these core human patterns, you can then “port” that movement into the scope of your core strength and speed training. At the end of the day, whether you like the BOSU Ball or not, David's keen observations of the core components of human movement have played a substantial role for me in how I observe the twisting, side bending and general locomotive mechanisms of the human being.  Chris Chamberlin has taken David's observation and creativity, and put his lens of practicality onto the total process. On the show today, David and Chris talk about how the WeckMethod helped Chris's big-lifts to get even better, tool usage as an essential aspect of human movement, primal movement patterning in respect to training volume, bending and twisting integration into more traditional strength methods, concepts on the foot, and much more.

Founder of WeckMethod, Inventor, Biomechanist, Revolutionary. You may know him for his invention, the BOSU ball. Many know him as the creator of RMT rope flow, coiling core training, and head over foot locomotion.Few know him as a humble genius changing the game of movement. www.weckmethod.comInstagram: @thedavidweck@thelivingsourcepodcast

This episode is a 30,000 foot view of a series we've started on a critique of Academia/Research-Based/"Studies and data only" as a philosophical approach to acquiring truth about movement and biomechanics. We covered many topics including how science that only looks at limited variables can get carried away and turned into 'narratives' which data starts to fit itself to. We'll be covering many aspects of how to think more critically/freely/integrally when it comes to investigating your movement practice, the truths behind training, and more. David Weck also joined us and discusses personal stories of how his ideas about "Head Over Foot Locomotion" have been denied by the subscribers of the pedestrian theory of locomotion, and how a single study undertaken by Eric Cressey was extrapolated into years of Bosu Ball bashing and set back people exploring the utility of unstable surface training for far too long.

We'll be discussing the applications of the Weckmethod tools with David in depth on today's episode! Co-hosted by Anthony Manuele and Dr. William Rajbar, the foremost podcast opening discussion about the most innovative ways to train, and move. your body. "Currently I work as a chiropractor in Banff Alberta, however my passion is human movement/biomechanics. I put theory into TEST to find out what works and what doesn't. The Bruce Lee quote “take whats useful and disregard the rest” is how I find movement truth. The ultimate truth is in the movement not the theory, it has to work in reality. Now Running/Gait mechanics and martial arts (especially boxing) is how I test truth in movement; theory is always put to the test! From my teenage years into my late 20s, I spent significant time within mainstream fitness practices such as Crossfit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and bodybuilding, not in that particular order. I have also spent time playing soccer, boxing, skiing amongst other sports. Having stacked many injuries in my teens/20s from improper training, I was led on a journey into chiropractic and sports injuries. I have worked with 1000s of injured patients in 8 years of chiropractic practice and have seen many injuries in the gym as a former Crossfit coach for 5 years. I've now spent 1000's of hours learning and practicing systems such as Functional Range Conditioning, Weckmethod and Goata. Goata has my interest at the moment, as I see it as a platform for a new Paradigm in movement. I believe we (Experts) are using incorrect maps of movement, therefore injuries are prevalent in sport and life. I will always test and retest in my own theories in real movement.

At age 25, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Always very fit, he started losing a lot of weight & became weak. His back started hurting. He was given pain killers to help with the pain. He went on a trip to Nigeria to help his parents business where he fainted. This would start a long journey of hospital visits. During one of those visits, he had an X-ray where his Scoliosis would be discovered. Being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis & Scoliosis, “these conditions nearly took my life.” His pain worsened to the point where he couldn't move his neck. Having another X-ray, he found out his neck was broken. “We don't know how you're alive,” the doctors told him. The team of professionals asked what he did, coming to the conclusion that it was his strength training that kept him alive. His training methods took him on a journey of using unconventional modalities, in particular the mace, Indian clubs & slush ropes. Using these tools, offered him new possibilities in his strength training methods. “Finding this new way of movement, helped a lot.” He found these new methods through David Weck, Rik Brown, Leo Savage. In 2019, he started working with his 1st mace. His journey continued of physical challenges, but his drive was stronger than allowing his limitations take over. Having a group of friends for support, who said you need to NOT sit down, be pro active! “simple words can go a long way to the right ears.” “Limitation is just an opinion.” Before he started working out his pain would be at an 11. Since he's been training with the mace, clubs & ropes, his pain levels are at a 3/10. “It's a miracle to movement. You don't realize how much you've restricted yourself to moving in straight lines.” Ola Kay is his name & what it translates to “god brings joy” is what he lives by.

Presented By:  www.exxentric.com/speedandpower David Weck is a biomechanist and inventor who specializes in the study of human movement and locomotion. He created a training and performance system called the WeckMethod and is the CEO and Founder of BOSU Fitness. David has invented the BOSU Balance Trainer, Propulse Speed Trainers, and the RMT Club.    https://www.instagram.com/thedavidweck/  https://www.instagram.com/weckmethod/ 

On this episode I was lucky enough to sit down with David Weck creator of the Weck method and many innovative and awesome inventions and methods. We start by discussing what traditional strength methods miss in preparation. David shares that it is important to have a base line of strength, especially within the context of contact sports. One of the areas that is often overlooked is how to effectively transfer strength, Mr. Weck begins to discuss the importance of being able to coil or use the end ranges of movement to produce dynamic and powerful movement. We also discuss how the natural evolution of the human brain has led to many subconscious systems that may not be optimized in more traditional preparatory settings. There are many different factors that may led to less then optimal brain states, that govern or drive us away from optimal movement solutions and overall health and happiness. As we discussed the brains involvement in training, Mr. Weck shares how increasing neural drive and coordinative means will lend to a greater understanding and confidence in a given movement or situation. This leads to me asking about the role of variability, David discusses how all modalities eventually reach a point of diminishing returns. By keeping it fresh athletes are more likely to stay engaged and also creative which is what will be required in many sporting situations. Weck rationalizes the 80/20 rationale, that by attaining 80 % of one given area and leaving the 20 % for a later time will drive more optimal adaptations. Weck shares how he utilizes non dominant side training to help contextualize and bring the non dominant side to a more proficient state, and again takes into account whole body concepts or both sides utilized (BOSU). I couldn't pass up the opportunity to discuss the role of the core and coiling as that is one of the major considerations of the Weck Method. Weck discusses the concept of coiling and figure 8's, this leads to discussion on rope flow training and also how Weck utilizes Isometrics to help effectively prepare the body for rotational considerations and coiling. Weck also discusses the concepts of uphill and down hill training and shares instances in which both formats would be useful. The Sole steps are a great tool and the easiest way to facilitate proper foot mechanics within training. Weck also shares how his product the propulse is a natural tool to increase efficient locomotion and to teach coiling. We end out the show discussing all the great offerings that David has over that the Weck method, make sure to check out David's socials and website listed below. thedavidweck Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thedavidweck/?hl=en Theweckmethod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/weckmethod/?hl=en WeckMethod Website https://www.weckmethod.com/

In this episode, Dr. Will and Anthony talk about the core 'trifecta' of popular functional training methods, Functional Patterns by Naudi Aguilar, Weckmethod by David Weck, and GOATA by Gil Bose, Ricky Stanzi, Bam, and Gary Scheffler. If you have any interest in exploring the truth outside of the box of popular beliefs about the body and training, then this is the podcast for you. We're on a mission for TRUTH in biomechanics and training the human system, and every episode will dive deep into that.

I put theory into TEST to find out what works and what doesn't. The Bruce Lee quote “take whats useful and disregard the rest” is how I find movement truth. The ultimate truth is in the movement not the theory, it has to work in reality. Now Running/Gait mechanics and martial arts (especially boxing) is how I test truth in movement; theory is always put to the test! From my teenage years into my late 20s, I spent significant time within mainstream fitness practices such as Crossfit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, gymnastics, and bodybuilding, not in that particular order. I have also spent time playing soccer, boxing, skiing amongst other sports. Having stacked many injuries in my teens/20s from improper training, I was led on a journey into chiropractic and sports injuries. I have worked with 1000s of injured patients in 8 years of chiropractic practice and have seen many injuries in the gym as a former Crossfit coach for 5 years. I've now spent 1000's of hours learning and practicing systems such as Functional Range Conditioning, Weckmethod and Goata. Goata has my interest at the moment, as I see it as a platform for a new Paradigm in movement. I believe we (Experts) are using incorrect maps of movement, therefore injuries are prevalent in sport and life. I will always test and retest in my own theories in real movement. Join me on my journey to change the movement game for the public and experts." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-art-of-move/message

Inventor and movement specialist David Weck discusses his various inventions (Bosu Ball and ProPulse Speed Trainers), as well as the confusing misconceptions that are spread amongst the fitness industry.

Tim Shieff is regarded as one of the best parkour athletes and freerunners of his generation. After six years being a vegan athlete he had some health issues and went back to eating a more primal diet consisting of animal products. Being heavily invested in the vegan lifestyle it wasn't an easy choice to "come out" and admit he wasn't 100% plant based anymore. In his second appearance in the NEDA podcast we talk about this major life transition, why he’s gotten deep into training with a rope , movement, fasting, running technique, emotional healing, COVID-19, addiction, David Weck, David Belle, Joe Eigo, parkour, break dancing, divine truth, EMF, grounding and other life hacks.

DJ & I first became intrigued by David Weck a few years ago due mainly perhaps to his irreverence and deeply passionate approach towards human movement. We took a drive down to the WeckMethod Lab in San Diego to meet him and find out more. Well, to say David gave us a solid introduction to his method is an understatement! We´ve long talked about recording a conversation that goes beneath the surface of his often extravagant social media profile. Who is this guy really? What makes him tick? How have his experiences formed his persona? Where do these inventions come from? There´s a lot going on and these stories intrigue DJ & I as well as Weck´s following. Human stories of the rise and fall, then the redemption and reorientation to the path of service, but never devoid of an honest truth through self-expression and experimentation.Have a listen to this conversation with an open mind. It´s a good practice at the best of times, but especially when listening to someone with such an eclectic and deeply experiential and evocative take on the nature of reality. See what strikes you most about David´s thoughts and ideas. What provokes, what inspires. Grab yourself a rope and start moving in spirals. See what happens. That´s what DJ & I have been doing (along with increasing numbers of movement explorers) and then share your results!This will certainly not be the only discussion with Weck. If you have any questions you´d like us to include in future conversations, please let us know.

Welcome to the first Dudesome episode of Rebel Performance Radio. As some of you already know, Rebel Performance and Compound Performance have joined forces. Going forward, the co-hosts of the podcast will be James Cerbie (Director of Primates), Kyle Dobbs (Director of Beards), and Matt Domney (Director of Meat). Although we will continue to bring on guests, we will also do individual shows with just us 3 dudes. Today, we talk shop, answer questions, give insights on our philosophies, training, coaching, cueing, exercise selection, business development, and more. We kick things off with a brief introduction from Matt and continue to discuss the new structure of Rebel Performance and the 2 headed monster that we are creating. We want to bring you the best of athletic development and trainer education while providing a platform and tribe to help you unlock your potential.  Kyle will be on the trainer development side, while James and Matt will be on the athlete development side. This leads us into a discussion on Rebel Performance’s typical clients and the balance of life, work, and training. The primary advantage that Rebel provides is creating high performing, well-rounded athletes that don’t feel like poop the rest of their day. Training for these clients should not take away from the rest of their lives and should actually enhance it. This leads us into a specific breakdown of the AMRAP program (available on TRAIN (https://train.rebel-performance.com/) and exceed performance goals. These are the things we track and measure improvements over time, and quite frankly, keep us coming back for more.  The sensory-motor work, while less systemically taxing (and maybe not as sexy), is your opportunity to patch up the holes in your positional strategy using constraints and time under tension while challenging your ability to find and feel the right muscles. It’s a different kind of “hard” than what some may be used to. The sensory-motor work allows you to maintain and manage a better position that’s going to let you push your output-driven work harder the next time. We’re keeping your main lifts the main lifts and your accessory work the accessory work. As Matt put’s it, we want you to “mash more where it counts”. Next we jam on open-door and closed-door training sessions, and gaining control of the gas pedal on your sessions in order to get the adaptation you want. Some people are always pedal to the metal, while others never reach anything above a 7 RPE. The key is to know when each type of session is appropriate. With the AMRAP program, we use question mark sets or amrap sets for you to put in the work needed for that day to drive adaptation. This form of autoregulation allows you to strike when the iron’s hot, or back off when needed.  Perhaps the main component that a program like AMRAP touches on is getting you wins early and often, boosting your confidence and using the total amount of work done as that ‘dopaminergic driver’ to keep effort high where it’s needed while working on other qualities using very specific strategies.  Next we discuss the Rebel Performance “Fill The Board” events that will be training meetups around the country at member gyms. The first of which will be at the Top Strength Project in Rhode Island. These will be a fantastic way to discover the potential you have when you’re in an awesome environment and push past any mental barriers you may have. We then move on to some Q&A about video games, hip IR deficits, stability/mobility for functional movements, feeling things on accessory vs output work, strength and injury for runners, Starting Strength’s Trap Bar take and Matt’s rebuttal, and David Weck.  Enjoy and hit that subscribe button if you learned a thing or two.   Episode Highlights: 3:00 – Matt Domney Introduction 5:00 – New Structure of Rebel Performance 14:00 – Output Driven vs Sensory Motor exercises...

Today’s episode features javelin coach and athlete Kevin Foster.  Kevin is a former Division I javelin thrower for the University of Connecticut. He is currently training to compete post-collegiately as an athlete for the 2020 Olympic Trials in the javelin event.  Kevin works as a private trainer and consultant, specializing in javelin. A young coaching prodigy, Kevin is one of the brightest and holistic young minds in the field.  He has been a prolific writer for Just Fly Sports in the last couple of years, and owns the popular Instagram page @javelin.anatomy.  Kevin is integrating ideas from many great minds in training, such as former podcast guests such as David Weck, Ben Patrick and Adarian Barr.  He is also familiar with ideas from DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and Ido Portal, alongside many others. This episode is all about getting to the core of what it means to be athletic.  Kevin clearly asks the question of what are we missing out on by just thinking about force from a quantitative perspective, and ignoring the total design and abilities of the body in respect to movement.  The more we know and understand about what makes the best athletes in the world the best, the more we can infuse this into our own coaching process. On today’s show, Kevin talks about some technical aspects of the javelin throw and throwing in general from a perspective of the feet, elbows and hands.  He gets deep into the elastic potential of the body from a perspective of waveforms and body segments, essentially, things that make an elite athlete able to transfer energy properly.  Of a particular focus on this show is Kevin’s take on the feet, hips and spine in making the ultimate elastic athlete. If you don’t care about javelin throw, or throwing concepts skills in general for that matter, you may want to skip to around 20-25 minutes into the talk. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points How coiling the body shows up in Kevin’s training for javelin How “pistol finger” works to lock the front big toe in throwing How the tongue works to direction tension to different parts of the body in athletics Examples of how Kevin trains throws from the perspective of the feet The importance of spinal segmentation in athletic performance and practical training What inspired Kevin to consider training on the level of energy and waveforms How to unlock the bodies elastic potential and why it is important to do so before optimizing other forms of training Kevin Foster Quotes “How you conceptualize the throw matters, if you just view the throw as a series of body parts moving you are going to set yourself up for very thinking brain, very rigid movement” “With the opposite hand when you are throwing, you need to be thinking about pronation in the hand of the reaching arm” “The tongue can direct tension to different parts of the body, so if you look at pictures of Jan Zelezny on his javelin release, you’ll see his tongue pushing into different parts of his mouth” “Movement is more than muscle… focusing on (squat routines and VBT) is focusing on the 1% compared to the 99%” “The feet and the hips and the spine are all connected in a much bigger way than we normally give credit for, so getting strong arches and capsular hip internal rotation, those are two ways to take slack out of system, so that’s how become fascially dominant as an athlete, to get that slack out of the system, it’s that neurofascial remodeling that takes place” “You need spinal segmentation, you need to be able to move every vertebrae to transfer energy optimally” “In order to unlock fascia driven movement, you need to strengthen the arches, you need to develop the ability to internally rotate your hips, and you need the ability to segment your spine”

Holy BOSU Batman! Paul and Ian were lucky to have the inventor of the BOSU ball on the Realistic Fitness Podcast, David Weck.

Today’s episode features biomechanist and inventor David Weck.  No stranger to new ideas and insight in human locomotion and athletic movement, this episode breaks a few molds that the human body has been put into over the years. David’s original appearance on episode 107 made significant waves, as David spoke on why bracing against a transverse force doesn’t happen in athletic movement, and how training this way in the weightroom is not conducive to proper motor patterns. Now, David gets to a topic that is on the forefront of his system, which is the role of the pulsing and spiraling action of the arms (and the human body as a whole) in being as fast as possible.  Our current paradigms of movements (and coaching them) often rely on looking at endpoints, without regards for what happens “in between”, and the resultant timing and mechanisms that power those positions.  Or, many times experts look at the world’s fastest competitors, and list what they are doing right as “wrong”. As a community, we also tend to frown on frontal and transverse plane movement in things such as straight-line running, while this coiling movement is actually essential to success. Sub topics include the “pulse” action of the arms in running, principles of utilizing the fascial system in locomotion, pressurization in movement, as well as how to use asymmetry rather than destroy it.   This podcast is huge for anyone who wants a deeper look at how the body actually operates while sprinting, and common traits of the fastest athletes on earth in this regard in both team sports and track & field.  Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: How the arms impact the “jolt” action of running, and the importance of the “double down pulse” technique The impact of the fascial system on the connectedness of the human body, speed and running technique Importance of pressurization in the “jolt and pulse” system of locomotion Implications of pronation and supination in muscle length and shortening, and body rotation Asymmetry in the body and locomotion, as well as how to take advantage of that asymmetry Quotes: “(Speaking of prehistoric man) Carrying a long stick of functional capacity, you cannot swing the arms” “It’s the cascade of frontal plane first (in running) that turns the spinal engine on” “The instant before maximum ground loading, the hands stop their downward movement, not by a muscular effort, but by a fascial, connective tissue effort” “Jog across the room and pay attention to what your hands want to do” “(In regards to the jolt or pulse of the arms) We are dealing in microseconds, but the body is naturally geared to find it… this is happening faster than the speed of thought.. it is a sensation you are going to feel” “You can’t run with a neutral pelvis and expect to be fast at all” “It’s an alternating… lordotic, kyphotic, then it switches.  And the fastest people have a big lordotic” “If you apply the mechanical force to the fascia, then you don’t even need to send the signal to the spinal cord, to send back to the fascia…. so it’s faster than the electrical current that goes through your body” “If you are born with the big muscles, it’s very different than if you had to pump up to build the muscles (from a fascia perspective)” “You want to think of the muscles as a pressure system… you are a pneumatic system” “Look at the animals… it’s just a pulse of force and they’re gone” “(In running) It’s underhand figure 8’s with the shoulders, overhand with the hips” “Supination is the “short” and pronation is the “long”” “Just the very act of supinating your right hand will coil your right lat to some extent” “Asymmetry is the rule… not the exception but the rule” “You don’t push out of the blocks,

Today’s episode features biomechanist and inventor David Weck.  David has devoted thousands of hours to the intensive study of human movement and locomotion, and training implications.  His inventions focus on building the rotational, pulsing and coiling abilities of the body, as well as the feet, in a manner that fits with natural locomotive abilities.  As a coach looking to integrate the field of sports performance as closely as possible with natural human function (and not creating programs fully centered around qualities needed to perform a bilateral barbell lift), this is a great addition to the Just Fly podcast lineup.   David Weck is the creator of WeckMethod and the CEO and Founder of BOSU Fitness. He is the inventor of the BOSU Balance Trainer, the new WeckMethod BOSU Elite, the RMT Club, and other products. He has worked in fitness for more than 22 years and has helped people of all fitness levels including elite athletes from multiple sports. He is a consummate student of movement who believes physical education is the foundation for a happy and healthier world. For today’s episode, we go into one of the biggest “hot-buttons” in the industry which is the action of the trunk and “core” in sport movement and related training implications.  Many coaches will put a heavy program emphasis on the ability to brace and resist (in order to transmit force) through using the core, but the reality is that actual observed sport movement, as well as a study of human evolution (Piscean locomotion theory) shows a different strategy in training integration.  This episode is fully loaded, and goes into this performance aspect in detail, in addition to many other aspects of athletic movement, including the action of the arms that carries an instant transfer to improving speed. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   Key Points: David’s background and how he has been able to spend over a decade in intensive study and experimentation in speed and movement Aspects of the bracing core versus the coiling core Fundamentals of how the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes work in respect to rotation and bracing How David formulated the “Royal Coil” exercise Application of coil mechanics to basic exercises such as the lunge Arm mechanics in running Quotes: “If you are sprinting fast past the age of 25 you either love it so much or you get paid a lot to do it” “If you’ve never played the guitar, it’s hard to teach guitar lessons” “Locomotion is the most important thing you can do functionally feeling… upright bipedal locomotion is contingent upon one’s ability to throw stones and swing sticks” “There are two fundamental ways to brace the core.  One to brace and don’t breathe, to pick up heavy things, and other is brace and breath to create the diaphragmatic differentiation so you can breathe under stress”. “You under no circumstance want to brace your core in neutral under a transverse only force” “When you side bend in the frontal plane, the biomechanical reality is that you create an axial rotation, counter rotation of the shoulders and the hips” “In locomotion the shoulders do an underhand figure 8 and the hips do an overhand figure 8.  If you are crawling or doing the reptilian it is the opposite” “It’s the lats that lead the locomotion…. everything about them is there for you to optimize the spinal engine” “Nobody who is fast braces their core to run or jump” “The most accurate science is the results” “Pressure is how we create strength, you have to pressurize and brace.  That’s why a bodybuilder who is 4% body-fat isn’t as strong as in the off season as when they are 12%.  You need something to resist against” “Supinating is coiling to that (supination) side, pronating is coiling to that (pronation) side”

"It Takes Time To Plough Your Own Path" David Weck Is there something you have been thinking about doing? About creating? About sharing? David talked about his road to success and how he “ready – aimed – fired.” He knew he had something that the world needed the moment he thought about creating the BOSU – the half dome where you had both a stable and unstable surface. What have you been holding off creating - waiting for the perfect moment to fire? What is one step you can take this weekend to test out your idea? Take it for a trial run with your trusted friends and move it closer to the green light of go. David talked about placing his product with influencers – way before the word influencer was a buzzword, David knew the importance of getting the buy-in of those he both respected and trusted. Is there someone you know, or even don’t know – whose "YES" to your idea or dream would give you the fuel needed to keep pushing ahead – even in times of uncertainty? Can you reach out to one influencer this weekend and put your idea, dream or thought plan in front of them to get feedback and or even a buy-in? Never forget ideas die in isolation and thrive in collaboration. David and I talk about our different struggles with who people thought we were to the story that was going on in the inside. If you are someone who struggles with anxiety or feelings of self-worth and doubt – can you reach out to someone and ask for help? There is nothing to be ashamed of and some of the most creative people I know have had internal struggles throughout parts of their life and career. This weekend I invite you – no scratch that – I need you to ask someone to listen, to help and make an appointment with someone who can help you walk through your doubt and fears. And as Pema Chodron wisely said, "fear is a natural reaction that you are moving closer to your truth." Continuing our thoughts around doubts and FEAR I want you to consider and reframe your idea of what a successful person looks like. Success does not arm you against the trials and tribulations of real life. If anything, many successful people have risen from the ashes to get to where they are today. What is it that you are afraid of? What is hiding underneath your fear? So many of us are afraid to fail – but as you have heard me say before F.A.I.L – First Attempts In Learning. What would you attempt to do if you knew that failure was only a sign that you are stretching yourself, your edges and getting ready to take flight? David talked about us being more forgiving both of ourselves and then of others. Forgiveness does not mean letting people off the hook for doing unforgivable things in the past, but it does mean unhooking yourself from the negatives that lie in the past so that they do not affect your positive future. Who is that one person who you need to forgive to be able to move forward and create your positive future?  

"Let's be More Forgiving To Ourselves and Therefore to Others" David Weck This conversation with my dear friend, fitness creator and entrepreneur could not be more timely. Yes, we talk about fitness, health and our experience within that amazing industry, but perhaps, more importantly, we talk about health - the health of our mind and how sometimes it can seem to become a foe versus a friend. David talks about his struggles with mental health and I talk about my struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. As David says so well, "It's time to stop pretending."  We begin on a light note reminiscing about how we first met and David' start as a New York actor, who found his way into fitness and eventually became a pioneer with his invention of the BOSU. As David rollerbladed everywhere in NYC, his feet became extremely weak from always being in roller blades and that led to a back problem.  So that led to David training with a stability ball, then standing on the stability ball and by constantly falling off the stability ball he asked himself "what if I cut it in half?"  And then the Bosu ball was born. David shares what it took to get his product out into the world. He believes that three trains have to leave the station for an inventor, entrepreneur and especially one that's on a budget to have a chance of succeeding. The first one is your intellectual property, the second is the manufacturing, and the third is the marketing. David discusses the fact that not only is there a physical benefit that comes when we work on our balance but there is also a psychological benefit.  The more physiologically confident we are at the fundamental level, the better you able better able we are to stand up, express our ideas, opinions, and share our knowledge with other people without the impediment of feeling off balance. At 34:50  We move into talking about the importance of finding balance and sustainable balance within our own health and especially the relationship we have with our mind. We discuss the idea of the conventional churn and burn of the grind of true life, the life that everybody portrays, and then the shiny cover of the book that we all tend to want to project. David shares his struggles with anxiety and how it led to him self-medicating from an early age with alcohol. We travel through his journey of finding a way to being able to operate in the world and the extreme measures it took for him to rebalance his mental state to one that could function well on a daily basis. We both discuss our own struggles and how it took medical intervention along with the assistance of seasoned professionals for us both to find peace with ourselves and the lives we live today.

What began as the launch of one of the most innovative products the fitness industry has ever seen turned out to be just the start of a journey that continues to expand, shape and define functional training. Invented by David Weck, the BOSU® Balance Trainer debuted in 2000 and quickly became one of the most successful fitness training products in the world. Originally the name “BOSU” was an acronym for “Both Sides Up.” It meant that the BOSU® Balance Trainer could be used on either side, the dome or the platform. Today, the term “BOSU” has evolved beyond the product to now mean “Both Sides Utilized,” a mindful approach to exercise that is a step beyond traditional training. This clarity of who we are and what we want to offer inspired the development of additional BOSU® products and programming, all of which are grounded in exercise science and proven in real-life application. BOSU® Training is about expanding movement capabilities, reshaping bodies and strengthening minds. It’s about inserting thought into movement. It’s about asking our clients, fitness students and athletes to be physically involved, but to also be present and fully engaged in the training process. It doesn’t matter if you’re facing the toughest competition of your athletic career, looking to return to a fitter you, or just starting out. BOSU® Training can see you through it all with new challenges and exercise progressions always just around the corner.

In this episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, we meet David Weck, creator of the BOSU ball and his eponymous training methodology, WeckMethod, to learn everything there is to know about the importance of movement and money. Founder of WeckMethod, inventor of BOSU Balance Trainer, patent expert, trainer and entrepreneur, for 25 years David Weck been helping people reach their potential at the peak of their fitness while also rehabilitating those that have mobility impairment or disability.  From his San Diego laboratory, David tests and vets the next fitness and movement innovations before releasing them to gyms and programmes around the world. From a young age, he's trained with the intensity of a world class athlete throughout college, pouring through assets, researching training techniques and the latest science in sport. He became a PT to make money after getting into acting. Through a passion for roller blading around Manhattan (he didn't travel on foot for six years) he understood the importance of flow. It was an injury to his back led to him discovering the stability ball, and the rest is history. David's used the BOSU ball to train world class athletes from the US Olympic Ski Team, the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Baltimore Ravens, the New Jersey Devils and more. His revolutionary product, backed by his movement methodology is relied upon in gyms around the world. David's Chinese medicine background has led him to innovate and revolutionise the approach of many within the fitness industry. WeckMethod is all about discovering the importance of training ambidexterity through fluidity in movement and strength. It was the danger of standing on a stability ball that led to the creation of BOSU; David came up with the idea while post-rehabbing after injuring his back in a motorcycle accident. Not only is BOSU a manufactured product worldwide, but it's accompanied by a methodology that can be applied to every movement in any workout. The BOSU ball helps with stability and core functionality by allowing athletes to transmit force through the body and train to leverage the power of your heel and your core, for example. David explains his reasoning for each business venture in his own words: “Just knowing that I'm going to do whatever it takes and I'll die trying to make this thing go. I will not fail. That's the thing that keeps you going. Then you get thrilled by the successes.”   Episode Highlights:  Why answering the existential question of “what I'm going to do with my life” doesn't have to be the final direction for your entrepreneurial decisions. Discover the joy of being able to move with speed and have no effort, and how David found his passion through roller blading. How risk versus reward can lead to practical problem solving, and why the BOSU is the best example of instability with the perfect stability. Realise your relationship with force, and how you can use time-served techniques to overcome any resistance, whether physical or metaphorical. Why your intellectual property rights are extremely important and how protecting them can immediately give you a better start in business.   Watch the full episode on YouTube – https://youtu.be/1oE4tH8ybus   Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with David Weck, creator of the BOSU ball….

When you grow up as an undersized kid who’s determined to play football, you’d better find an advantage and find it quick, or you’re going to get destroyed. For David Weck, his stature and a botched elbow surgery were exactly the right set of circumstances to teach him to use his brain to overcome his lack of brawn. David’s ability to look at the game from different angles matured into a fascination with biomechanics and movement efficiency. The root of efficiency is balance, and so he invented the BOSU ball to help develop more powerful, efficient athletes. Today, his passion is locomotion, and his work in running mechanics is breaking ground in a field that hasn’t made much measurable progress in decades. When the only thing that matters is getting to the finish line first, harnessing the entire human machine is essential for maximum performance. David’s work with Cal Poly has led to remarkable breakthroughs in already well-trained athletes, and what we’re witnessing now is just the beginning of how he might change the running industry as a whole.

Every good thing in your life is about relationships, and that includes fitness. Nobody can illustrate this point better than Dr. Chris Holder, head strength and conditioning coach at Cal Poly, and a long-time contributor to Breaking Muscle. He and Justin Lind dive into his athletic and coaching careers, uncovering the family tree of coaches who shaped who he is today. Under their tutelage, Dr. Holder learned to actively adapt his coaching philosophy to meet the unique needs of his athletes, as illustrated by his new partnership with David Weck. A consistent theme you’ll hear in this interview is Dr. Holder’s willingness to be the first to try new things. This manifested in the evolution of his coaching methods toward the primacy of kettlebell training, which he feels has given his teams the edge over their competitors for more than 15 years. His curiosity also led to his introduction to and education in Qigong, and he discusses the impact it has had on himself and his athletes at Cal Poly.

Today Justin Lind sits down with Chris White, assistant strength and conditioning coach at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. They delve into his personal coaching philosophy, and his passion for learning new techniques and methodologies to make his athletes better. That drive led to his recent investigation into medical Qigong and its effects on athletic recovery and performance, which culminated in a study for his Masters’ thesis. We’ll be publishing a summary of that study soon on Breaking Muscle. They also discuss Cal Poly’s exploratory work on some revolutionary biomechanics with David Weck, and Chris reveals why you shouldn’t trust your own brain.

Every good coach and trainer considers themselves, to some extent, as a student of human movement. But few people can touch the level of devotion and study of David Weck, inventor of the BOSU ball and creator of WeckMethod. David’s diversity of athletic training and experience, coupled with his limitless curiosity and “results rule” mentality have allowed him to realize concepts that are truly unique. In an industry hog-tied by convention, David unapologetically dares to flip the entire conversation on its head. In today’s interview with Shane Trotter, you’ll get to hear how David conceptualizes the optimal dose of training, how the literal and metaphorical concepts of balance run through all aspects of his training and life philosophy, how to deal with internal and external adversity, and the four immediate carryover effects of his favorite exercise on his new BOSU Elite. He also talks about what almost everybody has gotten fundamentally wrong about running technique, and how his life experience has given him the ability to approach obstacles without fear.

If I were to tell you that using a BOSU® ball would help you squat more, would you believe us? Yes, we are talking about that half dome stability ball thing that sits in the corner at the globo gyms of the world.  Before you write off the BOSU® ball to the same category as the Shake Weight, you need to watch this episode. In this edition of Shrugged, we interview the inventor of the BOSU, David Weck, and it turns out there is more to this tool than meets the eye. David has dedicated his career to understanding biomechanics and how to help athletes move better. While his tools and methods are certainly unique, they are also every effective. In this episode we dive into all the experiments and practices David has explored and how he is helping professional athletes with his method. You'll probably learn some things you have never heard before and you get to see Doug bitch slap him in the face. Multiple times.  Enjoy the show, Mike
