A stiff ankle shows up as a sore knee. A tight upper back shows up as a cranky shoulder. Hips that don’t move well turn into a lower back that never settles.

That’s why, before I program anything for a client, I run a movement screen. It’s 11 tests across the ankles, hips, spine, upper back and shoulders, and it shows me exactly where the body is compensating, so we fix the cause, not just the sore spot.

These are the same assessments I teach other Exercise Physiologists. Now I’ve put all 11 into a free 5-day video series for you.

💬 Comment ASSESSMENT and I’ll send it straight to your DMs.

“No way carries beat planks for core strength” 👇

RKC, side plank, pull-through, solid variations, genuinely good anti-flexion/anti-lateral-flexion/anti-rotation work.
But they’re all static. Your core’s real job is resisting movement while you’re moving: changing base of support, rotating ribcage, breathing under load.
That’s what a heavy carry adds that no plank variation can, however advanced.
Not planks vs. carries. Isometric brace vs. brace-under-gait. You need both.

Thanks for keeping me honest, Alex Lewis 🙌

Posting more lately, 💪 just trying to reach more people than I can fit in a day. 15 years coaching everyday humans, athletes and kids taught me the hardest part isn’t the workout, it’s knowing whether to back off or push through by changing exercises, using mobility that works or anything and everything that works for the individual.

A Mayo Clinic study put people on 4 hours of sleep a night, for 2 weeks. Same food available. Same training. And their bodies still packed on 11% more visceral fat, the kind wrapped around your organs.

It’s not just hours of sleep, either. Chronic stress does the same thing. It keeps cortisol elevated, which drives fat storage straight to your midsection and blunts your recovery from every session you do.

This is why sleep hygiene and stress management aren’t an afterthought in how I coach. They’re programmed in same as your sets, your reps, your load.

Consistent wake time. A proper wind-down before bed. Training load managed around your high-stress weeks, not just your high-training weeks.

If your training’s solid but you’re still not seeing progress it might not be the program.

DM me ‘RECOVER,’ and let’s look at the full picture

It’s NOT over when you lose, it’s over when you QUIT.
Excuses, don’t let them in.
Hospital yesterday morning, back in the gym today. Good job 👏. Thought I’d lost another training partner 😂

Thoughts over breakfast 🍳 on Exercise Physiology.
Everyone is an expert and knows what their body needs in the iron paradise. Especially with all of the information available on podcasts, social media, you tube and from your training buddy. Why on earth would you even consider paying for this advise when so much of it is free??

Overlooked, under rated and unused. Such a great resource that goes to waste on 99% of the population every day.
Yes I am one. Yes I am a good one. Yes I like helping people. Yes I smile to myself when I see and listen to people go on about their exercises that they do after seeing them on you tube or from listening to a podcast. Yes I feel shallow for laughing to myself but, whatever. Isn’t everyone an expert. I know when I want my car serviced I look how to do it on you tube and service it myself, not. Last time I built a house, you guessed it I built it myself, haha. If only I had a prescription pad……. Who the f..k would need a doctor.
Ps…. Men are the worst. They know everything. Breakfast this morning…. The man was telling the table full of women how good his podcast/you tube exercises were and the women were saying how good their exercises from their exercise physiologist were. Who looked and from my trained eye got up and moved better. Lets just say it wasn’t the skinny little man who “used to be fit”.
