The Peter Attia Drive
#350 ‒ Injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimization for every decade | Kyler Brown, D.C.

So some people, the CPAT test was terrible. Their VO2 numbers are bad. In our society, you got to have a good heart. We want to get that off the table from a risk factor. So we'll probably really put that routine cardio in, in a manner in which we don't flare up the things that could create an injury. So one client we had recently, he didn't know it. He didn't bring it up.

He's never had leg or foot issues at all. But his testing, his calves, he's a big fall risk. His calves are crazy weak. His balance wasn't good because he didn't have strength. And he's definitely a high risk for an Achilles. How old is this person? 52. You wouldn't expect to see that in somebody so young.

Yeah, but he's just poured himself into his career and really successful, really smart, cool guy, but he just hasn't trained a lot of stuff. And he had kind of a health scare, which is what motivated him to like get organized. Let's get this stuff right. It was interesting to see his really successful analytical brain use that scare to be like, okay, I got to get sorted out.

You can see he operates his business the same way. Problem identification, what's the solution? Problem, solution, problem, solution. So with him, he didn't know he had any of these risk factors, but he is a textbook for having a fall or blown out his Achilles because of the weakness and the lack of capacity and strength he had.

Yeah, he's definitely in that bucket of he could have been, it's a little fear mongering, but like he wasn't set up to like having to change direction quickly or maybe trips off a curb after dinner in New York. He could have had something like that easily. Big guy too, so top heavy just like me, big tree fall hard.

So with him, he wasn't even aware of that weakness, but the last thing we're going to do is give him a running program. We got to design his CPET stuff and his VO2 max training and his zone two training around these inefficiencies with his body. And so the workout in the gym needs to link up perfectly with those risks and also what is the most important thing for him right now.

Oh yeah, a lot of people are overwhelmed, but what's been really nice is the data, but then the calibration. And so what's been really cool with some of our clients we've had for several months now is consistency is always the name of the game, especially when we're playing the long game like we are. And if someone's going on a two week vacation, we want to know where are you staying?

What does the gym look like? We will change your workout so that you can keep doing it while you're on vacation. And if you tell us, look, guys, I'm going to be really active in the day. I kind of want to decompress. I've been working in my basement garage really hard for three months. Great. Let's take care of the total human.

Let's give him a 30 minute small thing to where he can almost have that lightning of the mental load just decompressed. But he's still making gains and he's still building that up. That's what's been fun for me that I almost never got the chance to do, even though I wanted to with some of my athletes, because there would be so many variables in the way.

With this, if we get a video of your gym and we know, okay, they don't have a bench that goes to incline, but we do have TRX and they have a treadmill that goes to the incline, but they don't have a bike. We can change their workout to where they keep marching along and it's an agreeable way for them. And it's not just like, oh, I was on vacation.
