On the final day of The Intensive, we Zoom (the app) in all other previous attendees to let them participate in the last day. This is often a review of key topics and programming strategies. At The Intensive X, we reviewed some concepts about the infrasternal angle and the compensatory breathing strategies as well as […]

Cutting Mechanics from The Inside-Out
Agility and cutting mechanics have always been described by the extremity movement, stretch-shortening cycle, and external forces. This video describes cutting from the perspective of how you manage the internal forces. How does the pelvic diaphragm behave? Where and when does concentric orientation occur? Where and when does eccentric orientation occur? How do I use […]
Power Training from the Inside-out
Power training is often measured or expressed as a product of our extremity movement. The reality is that if we are unable to move or control the forces produced internally, then our power production in any movement is compromised. We can manipulate exercises to emphasize different aspects of internal force management, but we need to […]
How to Use a Lifting Belt as a Teaching Tool
A weightlifting belt is most often worn to increase the amount of weight you can lift. However, there may be other uses as a teaching tool in some contexts. The intraabdominal pressure created by the lifting belt can provide cues to promote a concentrically-oriented pelvic diaphragm and create an overcoming contraction to enhance lower extremity […]
