We want all the muscles around that to be ready to absorb force. So those joint structures that are getting the staples or whatever else in there aren't stressed. We don't want to yank on those things while they're healing.
It's a really analogous to the pro athletes I've worked with as well, where it's really interesting to see these mature athletes who've been playing their sport eight or 10 years, and they're starting to kind of look this reality that their career is going to be over. And they start recalibrating how they train because they start thinking about the long term.
And what's really fun for me is when they start to get that perspective of it's not just about this weekend, it's about the long game here. And I think to your point, a lot of people out there have the best intentions and they're maybe even working hard. But there's no precision.
Nothing's accounting for their specific details, their nuances of their joints and how they move and how their body feels when they move and their trust in their body and all these variables. And a lot of people either want to put in the effort and don't know where to start or a lot of people are putting in the effort, but it's not calibrated.
Yeah, I mean, specialization is one. Some people are just born jumpers and then you train it and they practice it when they play and they get better and better at jumping. Absolutely. But moreover, it's almost like we're set up for failure.
We're set up with this baseline norm of, I could bench press 225 when I was a senior in high school, but then that individual is not accounting for the 20 years of lack of activity, lack of practice, they've atrophied, and then they jump right back into the gym and then they hurt things or they feel like they, quote, can't do it anymore. And the reality is it's all about capacity.
If you don't use it, you lose it. And a lot of us aren't really thinking about what have I actually actively lost from an activity standpoint? Is it jumping? Is it mass? Is it strength? All those variables that you spoke to. But I definitely see this a ton on the injury and pain side. Injury doesn't show up out of nowhere.
It has reasons why it shows up and it's compounded by emotional stress and all these other kind of multifactorial things. When our brain perceives threat, we feel pain. Absolutely. Sometimes that's a physical threat. Like I haven't jumped in a long time. I started jump roping. All of a sudden I wake up, my Achilles is sore.
That doesn't mean I ruptured my Achilles, but it does mean I was not prepared for that movement because I've been on the shelf for a long time. And so I think a lot of people with that investment strategy analogy is fantastic and they should really incorporate that is,
making sure they're accounting for all the buckets that their body needs to do, not just with what they want to do, but what we know people need. Demographics, Western society, age, all these things play a role to like, if you pull up the stats, a lot of people will have, oh, high risk for a low back or high risk for an ankle or whatever.
Yeah, right. And my private practice, I see this all the time. But what I always tell people to do is like, look at your kids. If you go to a coffee shop with your kids, I guarantee one of them will run and jump off a rock and like do a twist and land it. When was the last time one of us did that? Right.
And that's why they say maintaining play and always playing games and increasing that to where it's randomized games. you're actually reacting to things because there's the neuroplastic effects as well.
But just for the tissues, rehearsed load on the Achilles and the foot, if you go and get a job and you drive to work and you sit at your cubicle all day and you drive home and you didn't jump, that times five or 20 years is going to cause a lot of lack of capacity in your tissues that you don't want to learn the hard way.
Yeah, three-dimensional, short, long, quick, slow. Yeah, I mean, a lot of variables there.
For me, wrestling with my kids, which means getting down on the floor, having the flexibility, wrestling with my grandkids.
Yeah. That's big. Just like play, right?
Depending on the kid. If they're my grandkids, maybe. But that's definitely a goal of mine is that bonding that you get when little kids are wrestling on the ground. And I saw my dad recently doing that and I thought that was really cool. He's over 70 and he's on the ground messing with my three-year-old and it was just cool to see. And that's how I added that to my list.
It was hard for him, right? It wasn't easy, but he got down there and he could do it and he didn't suffer from it. That's one of mine for sure. As you know, I fell in love with rucking over the last couple of years. And so I want to be able to really crank out some mileage, especially in national parks as I get older.
I'm not looking to be an ultra marathoner per se, but I really want to be able to hike long distances, probably with a pack on it.
Yeah, I think my numbers will be a little distorted because I'm a pretty big guy. I'm 6'3", over 200, so I should be able to carry at least 20 pounds without worrying about too much for four to six miles.
