Today, we will discover the evidence, power and influence of Habits, and how it can improve your movement, health and performance. Why is it so important to correct our movements by changing our biomechanical habit? In a none creepy way, I have always been curious about human behavior and why we do things the way we do. So naturally I people watch, all the time, sometimes I get caught gawking and sure it's pretty damn awkward especially when I'm out with friends. My focus alw

Imagine this... You are a typical guy/gal with ambitions to start some sort of fitness program that appeals to your taste buds.

Today, 84% of jobs require at least 28-37.5 hours a week sitting down for computers, driving, meetings and, etc. (5). Houston is the pla

I noticed an interesting buzz when I began searching for the best-evidence-based approach and technique to squatting. Interestingly enough, the adverse effect of full squats has become one of the greatest impacts on the sport of weightlifting and CrossFit. Although, The Knee in Sports by Karl K. Klein and Fred L. Allman Jr was written in 1961, significant amounts of studies have conjured from his work. Today we have a plethora, literally a massive amount, of misinformation se

Oxygen deficit and oxygen debt Does anyone know why its important to actually rest in between sets? (high intensity loads) Does anyone know what Lactate Acid is? Does anyone know how Lactate Acid can affect your system? Does it make you sore? Does anyone know how we can take Lactate Acid and turn it into more energy? When we start exercising (or moving), energy is produced and delivered free of oxygen (anaerobically), called Oxygen Deficit. However, there is no such thing as

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching is a treatment approach used to regain range of motion (ROM), release excessive muscle tightness during physical rehabilitation, and improve athletic performance (1)(2). Notably, the movement patterns of PNF are similar to normal human functional movement, termed "mass movement" by Knott, Voss, and colleagues in 1985. The patterns are spiral and diagonal which are the same movements used in our Active Daily Life (ADL)
