👊Helping YOU Optimize your Health, Fitness, Performance & Mindset
Joined January 2012
The biggest failure I see in Youth Training is rushed progression. Slow down and master the fundamental exercises. Apply the principle of progressive overload by gradually increasing stress and difficulty over time to allow for proper adaptation.

As a performance coach, I would be more impressed by someone who can do Bulgarian Split Squats with the 60's, instead of someone who can deadlift 315+.

A 30 minute workout is better than no workout. A 10 minute walk is better than no walk. 75 grams of protein is better than no protein. Here's the take home message: Something is always better than nothing!

The "Morning Routine" nobody ever told you about that will change your life: 1. No caffeine past 11am 2. Stop eating at 8pm 3. Screens off at 9pm 4. Read for 10 minutes 5. Go to bed at 10pm The quality of your day is determined before you wake up.

As you can see, the pain you feel in your knees is usually caused by what's connected to your knees, not the knee joint itself. Fix these other areas, and you'll fix your knees.

Some of the most common things I see causing knee pain, are these: - Tight Quadriceps - Weak Hamstrings and Glutes - Tight Calves - Weak Quadriceps

90% of the time your knee pain IS NOT because you have "bad knees" or that there is something structurally wrong with them.
