So three-dimensional, number one. Number two would be to get motor unit recruitment, to really make sure that those muscles are firing, you need to do really heavy loads or things that are really fast to get that nervous system to like wake up and respond. The problem with that is not a lot of us are ready for that. So what you usually start with is really long hold isometrics.

So we put you in these different positions and find ways to resist that and pull and create stiffness and remodel those tendons. So we're essentially making those parts ready to start going into the danger zone that is explosive powerful movement. I shouldn't say danger zone as much as I should say like a higher ask. Yeah, risk zone. So heavy overcoming isometrics, they call them.

One of my favorites is that mid-thigh pull. It's kind of a standard in the sports science world where you have a bar and you basically calibrate the machine to where the bar is about the mid-thigh and it's almost like the very top of a deadlift and you just pull, but the bar doesn't get to move.

And the sensory input is like the force decks and they're measuring your balance, your force and all these other cool metrics. But holding that over time, we're now isometrically loading the heck out of my grip. You're loading the heck out of my shoulders. We're getting into my feet, my quads, my hips, and I'm just holding that for time. That sets all these tendons up.

And you just do this with a super, super heavy loaded bar that's too big for you to lift? Not necessarily. You can actually do an empty bar, but you pull it up against the safety bars of the rack or something like that. Isometric thigh pull is the thing to look up.

But there's a lot of ways to load these heavy isometrics because that gets your tissues ready and you build that up over several weeks and that tendon adapts and now it's ready to resist force. And then the way you bridge that is you start doing deloaded plyometrics.

So now maybe we do some sort of like a band assisted pogo where I'm actually pulling on a band overhead, pulling down on that band essentially lightens me because the band's gonna pull me back up. And now I get to train that speed and that quickness through the ground but it's not my full body weight. And so that's a great way to bridge from, okay, now I've got the parts ready.

Now can I deload the amount of force and train the speed? Once I've got the speed going in the parts, now I just get to become an athlete and do body weight and beyond.

And so that's where you see these really high level athletes, even at early ages, their trainers know how to build that paradigm up and bridge it across to where you don't get any injuries along the way, but you get a really springy force resistant person. So many of us, like we touched on initially, don't train pogos. We don't train plyometrics.

If you go out to the local men's or women's soccer league, how many people there over 40? Not very many. Now there's a lot of reasons why that is, but we're not playing games and we're not reacting to stuff. And so we need to make the gym a safe space where we can recreate these things and essentially test out these movements. So I don't lose it.
