“If you want to improve your nervous system, your bones, your joint health and brain, we need to be strength training.”

“But just from a functional standpoint, um, standing, you're still working the delts, but you're you're really activating the whole body. You're totally grounded. You get real good core stability.”

Performing overhead presses while standing is superior to sitting because it requires more stability and engages the entire body.

“I mean just based on your stabilizing with your core, your legs a lot more. There's more contraction happening all at once.”

Athletes should perform strength training through a full range of motion, rather than limiting movement to avoid knee-over-toe positions.

“So it was sort of don't go below 90° and don't let your knee over your toes were the two prevailing things. And I went to six, eight, 10 trainers. So, I'm not just this is not just like a maybe that was bad luck that none of those trainers knew differently.”

Athletic training should focus on developing the ability to move seamlessly across multiple planes rather than just sagittal plane movements.

“The problem is is that's the way the CrossFit was designed CrossFit main site is that it was just nothing but bilateral hip hinging in a sagittal plane. And athleticism happens in three planes of motion, you know, sagittal, frontal, and transverse.”
