How quickly does your tissue need to handle force?

That’s a piece that can get overlooked in rehab and training: preparing for the speed of the demands we’re returning to.

Here I’m using ballistic isometrics, rapidly building force against a heavy band with a focus on the tissues around my SI joint.

The goal is to teach the tissues supporting that region to stabilize and organize under the speed demands of running and plyometrics building a foundation for expressing speed more efficiently.

With each running stride, we absorb and produce force within a short window of ground contact. That’s part of what I’m working to prepare for.

For those already FR® or FRC® certified, our FRS Speed Summit is coming up in a couple of weeks. We’ll dig deeper into the internal speed model and the thinking behind this approach: identifying the demands someone needs to prepare for, the capacities they may be missing, and how to choose training inputs to bridge that gap.

A few moments from an incredible week in Oregon 🏔️

Really grateful to my buddy Dewey Nielsen for taking me out there and giving me the chance to experience five days backpacking through the Wallowas. Carrying everything we needed, covering a lot of ground, and spending a whole lot of time way outside my normal routine.

Almost 9 months out from ankle surgery, I’m especially grateful for how well my body held up. There were plenty of steep climbs, loose descents, weird angles and long days where I found myself thinking, *this is exactly why I train the way I do.*

Grateful for a body that lets me do things like this, great friends to experience it with, and an ankle that continues to get stronger. 🙏

Definitely a trip I won’t forget.

Spinentology

Your spine is built to move flex, extend, and rotate.

A lot of people train around the spine, but not through it. Adding controlled motion and rotation back in can be one of the most useful things you do for long-term movement quality.

In this session I’m exploring different spinal setups working through positions, adding load where it makes sense, and building control across ranges.

I’ve also been using the new Beyond VOLTRA Carbon Flex Bar, which has been great for creating asymmetrical loading through the spine. It opens up options to challenge rotation and control in a more specific way.

Comment SET UP and I’ll send you how I’m using this setup.

CARs aren’t just movements , they’re your first layer of assessment, control, and decision-making.

Comparison Games

A couple weeks ago we used the Beyond VOLTRA to measure force output on my surgical ankle compared to my non-surgical side. Nothing fancy, just a baseline to understand strength and connection differences early on, and a reference point to work toward over time.

One of the coolest parts about the VOLTRA is that it can actually do this kind of isometric testing, which is a big reason we got it in the first place. It’s been a really clean tool for rehab: controlled loading, measurable output, and repeatable inputs.

We tested in a very tissue-specific way around both scar sites: the medial incision and the anterior incision.

Lower-intensity isometrics first to support tissue quality, tolerance, and control… then gradually layering in higher intensity work as the area responds.

Just a simple way to guide the process:
measure, restore, build.

Comment “SET UP” and I’ll send you the exact Voltra pieces and configuration I’m using in rehab.

👇 Comment “SHOULDER” and we’ll send you a free class that shows you how to train this properly from the ground up.

Most people try to improve their shoulders by randomly moving them through space.

A few band drills here.
Some stretches there.
A little strength work… but only in partial ranges.

The problem?
That’s not how the shoulder is built to work.

The shoulder is a system.
The humerus and scapula have to move well together, through rotation, control, and progressively loaded ranges.

That’s why we prioritize:
• Shoulder rotation
• Scapular movement and control
• Isometrics and end-range strength
• Gradual progression, not random motion

When you train the joint the way it’s designed to move, everything else starts to click.

Presses feel smoother.
Hangs feel stronger.
Handstands stop feeling like a fight.

Strong joints make every pattern easier because every pattern uses joints 💀
