This day you will be challenged to learn how to move your body gracefully through animal style and functional movements. This is where we put our newfound strength to use.
FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING FROM YOUR FITNESS REGIMEN?
This was a big problem for me for years. After I got done playing basketball in college, everything became about “working out.” There was no more creativity, no more playfulness, no more friendly competition. Everything was structured and there was no more flow. Things suddenly changed to… How much can I lift to impress people? What kind of diet will get be a six-pack? How much can I punish my body into something I value?
I see how with hindsight vision… my fitness practice wasn’t for me anymore. It was based in what other people said I “should do.” It was a way of trying to stroke my ego – to feel good about myself and impress other people. It was no more than another job that I didn’t really enjoy. And the only thing that kept pushing me forward was feelings of insecurity.
THIS ALL CHANGED WHEN I GOT INJURED.
A partial meniscus tear. This was the ultimate ego check. I couldn’t do the big deadlifts and squats that I had built my “strong guy” identity on. With my identity stripped away, I had to look for something that I could do while my knee healed… so I found gymnastics and bodyweight calisthenics style training. I was greatly humbled. I quickly saw how weak I was in this style of training and my poor flexibility was exposed. Years of lifting heavy weights had left me stiff as a board and not very strong when it came to controlling my own bodyweight. I was always a bit “puffy” from cramming my face in the pursuit of “more gains”.
I QUICKLY SAW HUGE CHANGES IN HOW MY BODY FELT AND LOOKED AFTER SWITCHING TO BODYWEIGHT TRAINING.
The nagging pain in my hips started to fade. The stiffness in my shoulders and upper spine started to loosen up. The lower back tweaks and pain I experienced for years… we’re completely gone. The leaner physique I was always trying to “diet” to achieve just naturally started to appear. And the athleticism I had lost from my basketball days… was coming back in full force.
As my knee gradually healed back to 100%, I had no desire to go back to the weights. Instead…
I FELT INSPIRED TO KEEP EXPLORING THIS STYLE OF TRAINING AND THE WAY MY BODY CAN NATURALLY MOVE.
I wanted to take my flexibility to the next level. I wanted to pursue handstands. I wanted to learn more animal and flow movements. My days in the fluorescent lights of the gym were swapped for days spent in parks practicing calisthenics and flow under the warm sun. My practice felt exciting again. I felt like there was so much opportunity for growth. “Working out” was not a job anymore but my own heroic journey. My training was something that filled me up and made me feel great about life.
Years later after growing Strength Side bigger and bigger…
I WANTED TO SHARE THE EXACT TRAINING PROGRAM THAT MADE ME INTO THE GUY YOU SEE ON YOUTUBE TODAY.
I wanted to share the mobility drills that helped open up my body and free me from the constant stiffness. I wanted to share the Calisthenics that allow you to gain superior control over your body while keeping your flexibility. And I wanted to share the basic primal flow movements that may just give you the spark to feel like a human again (or a monkey!).
I quickly realized that nobody is doing this type of training in the fitness industry. You can find “flexibility programs”, you can find “strength training programs”, you and even take an animal flow course…
But nobody is combining these 3 powerful practices together.
WE BELIEVE HERE AT STRENGTH SIDE THAT THE COMBINATION OF STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY AND MOVEMENT IS WHAT REALLY IGNITES MASSIVE GAINS FOR MOST PEOPLE.
To be strong, but also flexible.
To move natural but with structure.
To be a functional human being in every way you can.
