@ItsKieranDrew You should make a pit stop in Kelowna and we can put together some content!

@RichardAMilton, you've got a lot of opinions for a guy whose profile picture looks like a sad Victorian ghost who died of a stubbed toe. I've got enough muscle mass to run 26 miles and still have enough left over to fold you like a lawn chair, you absolute dynamic duo of nothing.

Go sit back down before your frail heart gives out.

Love seeing this! We need to keep championing this.

WATCH: Taiwanese grandmothers aged 89 and 91 train at the gym. An increasing number of elderly people in Taiwan’s super-aged society are hitting the gym to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.

@IamTheImmortal Getting back to training in 6 months if all the boxes are being checked is well within possibilities. But, it should be conservative and gradually built up.

The 6-9 month mark is high risk and very common re-tear time. Best to minimize pushing hard until after 9 months.

@BrianSuttererMD @BrianSuttererMD what literature shows PRP speeds up hamstring recovery or decreases repeat injury?

Big fan of your work, but I'm fairly sure this literature doesn't exist - or at least isn't of good quality if it does.

@bellatordave @GrandpaKen05 He’s also has a history making better decisions in time. Noted

@ModestMitkus @olidotzip @rankpill Such unrealistic expectations from people for customer support now a days.

Building a hybrid engine requires a precise balance of aerobic development and structural strength training.

This video breaks down the exact training split and time-management strategies used to maintain an athletic physique and high-level endurance on a restrictive schedule.

Everyone: “Oh wow how is it possible she can ski on a torn ACL?!”

Me (sports doctor): “well if you had an old tear, known or unknown, your knee can compensate better if you retear. Or if you had a past surgery your knee can cope better with a repeat injury”

Everyone: “shut up twitter doctor nobody cares and she’s awesome”

Fun day here 😅

Maximize your explosive potential.

This 40-minute follow-along workout utilizes the principles of the stretch-shortening cycle to improve ground reaction forces and rate of force development. By focusing on the "Built for Bounce" methodology, we bridge the gap between raw strength and functional vertical power through evidence-based movement progressions.

What we cover
Dynamic movement preparation: Optimizing joint temperature and neural drive to prevent injury and enhance performance.

High-velocity plyometrics: Developing the reactive strength necessary to decrease ground contact time and increase flight time.

Deceleration mechanics: Training the eccentric control required to safely absorb force and transition into explosive movement.

Integrated power exercises: Combining multi-joint movements to maximize total-body force production for higher jumping.

Volume and intensity management: Structuring work-to-rest ratios to maintain peak power output throughout the entire session.

Tired of feeling stiff? Let's change that.
This 20 minute follow along mobility session is designed to restore range of motion and decrease systemic stiffness throughout your body.
Working through key movements for your hips, spine, shoulders, and every major joint, your body will thank you after.
This session serves as an ideal rest day routine or a full session for beginners.

How fit can you get in 30 days?
If you lock in for a month, what kind of improvements can you actually see?
Well, that's what I wanted to find out.
Tired of feeling slow and sloppy, I decided to make a change and find out what I was capable of.

The Hybrid Protocol: How to Build an Elite Aerobic Base without Losing Strength.

Building a massive engine doesn't mean you have to stop lifting heavy. In today’s video, I take you through a full "Triple Session" day, balancing Zone 2 endurance, heavy resistance training, and VO2 Max intervals.

Most people think that more volume always equals more results, but the truth is in the consolidation of stress. I’m breaking down the science of why I train three times a day, how I manage my recovery, and how I'm dropping body weight while maintaining peak performance for my upcoming endurance goals.

Stop doing random jumps and hoping for more bounce.

If you want more power, explosiveness, and speed, you need a protocol, not a Pinterest board of random drills. We just dropped our full "Zero to Explosive" framework on YouTube.

We’re breaking down the 5 pillars of power:
⬆️ Vertical Drive
↔️ Lateral Stability
🏃‍♂️ Horizontal Coverage
🦿 Ankle Stiffness
🛑 Braking Power

Stop wasting your time in the gym. Master the mechanics and start moving like an athlete.

Aging is a part of life.
Getting old is a choice.
Lift Regularly.
Move Often.
Stay Curious.
Fight “getting old”.
