Never Case Fatigue... Chase Performance!

"A coach always trying to "kill" clients in the gym often lacks education. & clients always looking to be "killed" haven't been taught well" - Lee Boyce 

This goes on way to much in the fitness industry, average people start doing these crazy intense bootcamp classes without any coaching on joint mechanics, proper progressions or basic movement foundations. 

People go to these classes with major movement problems and do 100's of repetitions with poor form where quantity/intensity is more important than quality. I have had clients come to me saying "I worked out for 3 years at crossfit/bootcamp/classes" ect.. then put them through a movement/mobility based assessment and I'll find so many problems that were never even brought up as issues to them.

For example, a female client came to me in decent shape wanting to get stronger and lean out. She tells me she was doing classes 4x a week before injuring her hip, Says she knows how to squat no problem been doing it for years under her trainers eye.. I then ask her to do a basic bodyweight squat at our assessment and what do we see? Huuuge lateral shifting, feet collapsing, valgus knees, forward lean, lack of over all tension and stability along with a ton of mobility issues.
None of these were ever brought up to her and she had no idea she was doing them, but she felt tired, sweaty, sore and even lost weight so it must be good for you right? Lol not in the long run..
Don't wait for injuries to happen before you fix the problem, just like you don't wait for your car to break down before you get maintenance done on it. The majority of pain/tightness/stiffness is related back to poor movement and/or lack of movement. Quality should come before quantity 😁 /rant end
