Ski season is here; make sure you're ready to hit the slopes. In this video, I walk you through the best exercises for skiers, providing a comprehensive overview of the exercises and ensuring you know the key technique points to maximize their benefits. https://t.co/wKJi4LM8pm

PSA: You're not quad dominant. Now, go and train your quads.

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

Don’t let the internet fear monger you out of resilience. Get strong. Lift heavy (for you). Live longer.

Danger doesn’t come from the movement. It comes from the dosage. If the Big 3 hurt, adjust it. 1. Manage the load. 2. Scale the range of motion. 3. Try variations. Don’t ban the movement modify.

Is the bench press the only way to grow your chest? No. Is the squat the only way to grow your quads? No. But, calling them “bad” ignores that they are still effective for it and provide a plethora of additional benefits.

The most dangerous thing you can do for your joints is nothing. Inactivity leads to: - Sarcopenia (muscle loss) - Osteopenia (bone loss) - Fragility & poor capacity. Load is essential for longevity.

Your body is an antifragile system. A car wears down with use. Your body builds up with use. - Load your bones = ⬆️ density. - Load your tendons = ⬆️ spring. - Load your muscles = ⬆️ strength.

The human body isn’t made of glass. Stop treating it like it is. Tissues adapt to stress. If you avoid loading your body, you aren’t “saving” it. You’re actively making it weaker.

You walk into two different clinics. Clinic A is bright and organized. You’re greeted like a human. Someone actually asks what matters to you, listens without rushing, explains what they find, and gives you a say in the plan. Clinic B is cluttered. Barely any eye contact. A

HOT TAKE: “Just rest” is rarely best. Change the dose, not the goal. Modify → Move → Progress. Come back stronger.

Reference Study:

Prevention looks like capacity building. When it comes to groin injuries, Copenhagen Adductions should be a top focus. - Progress short lever to long lever. - Use eccentrics as needed. - Build volume for max gains.

Fear-talk shrinks movement options → less loading → lower capacity → more symptoms. Vicious loop. Instead of: “Don’t round your back or you’ll injure it.” Go with: “Press the floor away. Keep the bar close." Focus on performance and desired outcomes.

Fear-based language does more harm than “bad mechanics.” Making people afraid of a position or motion doesn’t help. Mechanics are rarely “good/bad.” Tolerance and context matter more. Build both with graded exposure and clear goals.

Going forward, we'll be doing them three times a week, varying the volume and intensity, helping him get ready for ski season and feel more confident.

He's spent years avoiding exercises and losing functional ability, all because he convinced himself exercises he had no issue with were bad for him.

Afterward, he told me, "my knees actually feel even better after doing those."

We experimented with different strategies to load his quads, using a mix of isometrics and dynamic movements, along with compound and isolation options.
