Destroy What You Are

Lately I feel like a fire’s been lit under me in my training.  Somehow through sheer persistence, perseverance, and being too dumb to quit, I feel like I’ve broken through to a new level.  And this level is more difficult than the one before. New levels always are.

Sometimes I think people have the impression that if you keep training in something long enough, like martial arts or strength training, then it somehow gets easier as you get better.  I don’t think this is true.  At least it’s not true for those who continue to push themselves to break limits.

Imagine You With Less Pain

Many trainers and coaches tend to look at the current rage of joint mobility protocols as recent innovations in sports science and training.  Everyone is talking about mobility for health, mobility for prehab or injury prevention, mobility for warm-ups, mobility for fending off the ravages of aging.  Everyone is talking about the benefits of increased range of motion for sport performance and martial art training enhancement.  And, just to be perfectly clear, this is a good thing.  They are all correct.  Mobility training is the rage for a reason.

Fitness or Fatness, Your Choice

Seems pretty simple, right – fitness or fatness?  If our choices for how our bodies would look, feel, and move were laid out like an a la carte menu it would make life much easier.  Would you like the fit body today or the fat one?  Either or.  Take your pick.  Would you like the body with joint pain and stiffness today or the one that feels like a well-oiled machine?  Would you like the uncoordinated body today or the one that moves with grace, power, and presence?  Hmmm… these choice, when laid out in black or white look relatively easy, don’t they?  Who’s going to be the one to choose the tired, broken down body over the strong, healthy body?  No brainer, isn’t it?

When it comes to the question of stretching, there are opinions all across the spectrum.  Some experts contend that you should never stretch at all since it deforms the tissues, destabilizes the joints, and makes the body more prone to injury.  Then, on the completely opposite side of the scale, is the other camp which swears that stretching is an absolute must prior to any activity (up to and possibly including sex) as it is a way to warm-up the muscles to prevent injury.

So, who is right? Continue reading →
