And if there's a light above you, he can jump and he can kick his foot above his head and kick that light.

He has amazing movement ability, but he's also very powerful.

But a big aspect that he does that anybody can do is start to be on the ground more, right?

Because the ground is its own form of tissue therapy.

Of course, you can have a tool that you sit on top of, on top of your glute, on top of your hamstring and put pressure into the ground and figure out, am I holding tension in my hamstrings?

Am I holding tension in my calves?

And as you do body work, a big concept to think about is not too much pressure.

People make this mistake of, I'm gonna get a body lever, I squeeze as hard as possible and I'm grimacing and like, I had to work through that pain.

First, relax your face when you do all of this type of work.

And if you find that no matter the amount of pressure, you're always grimacing, take some pressure off.

Put the amount of pressure that your nervous system can handle and you can keep calm and you can keep breathing so you don't hold your breath so you can actually get deeper in those tissues and learn how to relax under that pressure.

Because this is the thing.

Tension when needed, when you're sprinting, when you're maybe lifting something, tension when needed is not bad.

The tension that's negative is the tension that you're holding when you're at rest, that you take with you from the gym.

I think that this is one of the reasons why so many large athletes have a level of sleep apnea.

I don't necessarily think it's because of their big necks.

This is not based in science, but it's just based in what I see when I look at these people and hear, oh, you have sleep apnea.

I'm not surprised because I'm 250 pounds.

I don't have sleep apnea.

I know other people who are good athletes who are large and they don't have sleep apnea, but these athletes are also not overly tense.
