We did a ton of work. The literature and the science is out there to a degree for you stack things on top of themselves. So you start with isometrics, you progress people to more explosive or compound movements. So let's assume that I don't have any injury risks at all. And you would determine that based on just my history? No, and testing. History, testing, demographic risk.

There's a lot of variables we look into for having concern about musculoskeletal injury. That's number one. But yeah, every person is different that way. And we've had people come in who've had multiple surgeries and injuries, and then we've had other people come in who they're high risk for injury, but overall, they're a pretty good package to work with.

There's not a lot of medical concern, if you will. So ignoring all the medical side of it, I really like following the principle that the exercise is the test because we basically look at everything about four to five different ways. But if I watch someone do, let's say a wall squat.

It's isometric. isometric load. It's what we all used to do in like high school practices where it burns your quads and your patellar tendons. And we can even set you up to where you're in the right position. So that's going to tell us a comfort with the position.

Every metric we have has a qualitative and a quantitative associate. So the quantitative, we have minimums. It's either time or percentages of body weights for every test or distances, like you mentioned on the broad jump. But then there's also like, how does it look? And then the how it looks one is the vague part of the movement world.

So you're going to have your coach and myself both looking at it. But then we have other ways where we're confirming that with our motion capture machines, with our force plates, with our videos that analyze the movement. So there's a lot of ways to confirm. You can also see these things cross over.

So how does someone do on the double leg versus single leg gives us a really nice window to, okay, where's the lack? Great example, two leg, really strong, they're solid. We put them on single leg and they're abnormally less functional and weak and don't have the range. So I'm immediately thinking, okay, there's a balance control issue here.

Because on two legs, I'm really stable, but on one leg, I'm significantly less stable and it's much more complex for the body. And so if their scores, even though they're strong and their quads have the capacity, but when they're on single leg, they're not strong and they can't stabilize, that gives me a window right away to saying this person has a major balance risk or things like that.

And in the case of that individual, do you not progress them? No, we find their floor and we build from there. So some people will have really cool, robust Instagram-worthy exercises for one region, but another area we're filling in gaps, we're building foundations, and we're basically building them up from wherever those floors are.

And the key for us is this big grid we have where we have every category movement we care about, and then we build them from their floor. So I'm really a visual person, but I always say, okay, we have this baseline floor, maybe for their upper body pull, they're on the third floor, they're badass, they're killing it. But then their core stability in one plane is like in the basement.
