Most lifters try to fix plateaus by doing more: More sets, more exercises, more sessions. But more volume usually leads to more fatigue, not more progress.

I have yet to treat a fighter who has been KO in the past and doesn't have shit neck mobility. I think that’s why fighters who had solid chins end up with glass jaws - their necks stop working properly, so they can’t absorb impact.

Can’t touch your toes? It’s probably not due to tight hamstrings. It’s your tight calves. Stretch them daily (90 sec/side on a step) And then re-test in 2 weeks. Most people gain 4–5 inches in reach.

No one is born inflexible. As a baby, you could effortlessly do the splits and bring your feet to your head. But you didn’t use your flexibility so you lost it. Good news? You can get it back. Start stretching regularly and rediscover what your body can do.

Rehab into old injuries (since birth), even if they aren’t causing pain or are seemingly unrelated to other parts of your body that do have pain.

Rehabbing an injury means you might have to train it through painful ranges of motion. Especially, if you have had the pain for more than 6 months.

Physical pain is a sign something isn’t right. Don't be an idiot and try to train through pain – I’ve done this many times and it only makes the problem worse in the long run. Fix the problem causing the pain. And in the meantime, do exercises/training that doesn’t irate it.

You can’t force your body to walk correctly. Your body has around 360 joints and they all move in all the planes of motion available to them (up to 3) with every step. Instead, get your joints to work properly and your body will automatically correct how you walk.

Want to be able to touch the floor while standing? Stretching your hamstring might seem the logical fix. But it usually doesn't. Instead, stretch your calves. I’ve found this gets bigger improvements for my clients than stretching their hamstring.
