Stop starting over. Start rebuilding.

Three rules.
In this order.

  1. 1

    Activation before load.

    A muscle that went quiet needs the signal back before it gets weight. Another heavy leg day will not fix a glute that stopped firing.

  2. 2

    Progression before intensity.

    Most people stall at 60 to 70% because nobody structures the load after PT. I do, week by week.

  3. 3

    Structure before motivation.

    Motivation lasts about two weeks. A plan, a weekly check-in and people around you last sixteen.

Which one sounds like you?

Finished PT but still stuck?

Rebuild

You're pain-free on paper, but you don't trust your body under load yet. That's where I pick it up.

Keep restarting every 6 weeks?

Restart

Life got in the way. What went missing is the structure around you, and that's the part we rebuild.

  • For the first time in years, I went shopping on vacation and didn't beat myself up. I actually felt GOOD in my body.

  • Not once did you offer a quick fix or a magic fix. As you say in your posts, it's a lifestyle change.

    Pam S. Restart

  • He is insightful, encouraging and tailors his workouts to an individual. I never felt embarrassed.

    Maureen M. Thumbtack

  • I can not believe that I could do glute bridges now. Two weeks ago, I couldn't.

    Anjanette W. Rebuild

Results are what clients reported. Individual results vary.

I've been where you are.

Broken.

Dek hockey, full speed, and a slide tackle from behind. My left ankle snapped in three places.

Starting from zero.

Three surgeries, 13 screws and 2 plates. I went from 180 pounds to 140. I told the hospital I had five steps at home. I had fifty.

Rebuilding.

The same way I coach. Wake up what went quiet, then load it, week after week, until I trusted that ankle again.

Back in the kitchen.

I got back into cooking, for JT Miller and his family.

Climbing.

Two years after the break, I was climbing again, on that same ankle.

Showing up.

I started a free Sunday class in Pittsburgh. Over 125 weeks later, I haven't missed one.

Balance.

Up on the red rock in Sedona, standing on one leg. The left one, the one that broke in three places.

Now it's your turn.

This year I taught at the Sedona Yoga Festival and on stage in Denver. I know the fear, the slow start and the day it finally clicks, because I lived all three. I'll take you through them, one week at a time.
