THIS IS THE New Concept in Core Training.
WeckMethod.
We simply put fundamental principles into practice. Simple. TRUE.
Fight / Flight Response Ability (with perfectly balanced locomotion) is the only acceptable target.
Duh. (Why would you EVER build strength on dysfunction - like walking out of balance to begin with????). Serious question. Deafening silence.
AND… to make matters even better, we can literally “WeckMethodize” ANY exercise or movement. To create better carryover than you’re getting now. Bold. TRUE.
And I Stand FIRM that you NEVER perform “anti-rotation” training as peer review exercise “science” defined it.
It’s worse than useless.
It does what we MUST NOT DO. Upset Force Transmission (with imbalance and delay) - you’re uprooting yourself exactly what we DON’T want, with your pallof presses.
Stu, obviously the soup has reached a Boyle. When are you guys going to address the Paradigm Shift in Core Training?
YOU Guys are at the center of the “anti-core” dark ages of S&C.
You messed up HUGE. It’s time to Relate to Gait… or go home.

Weck doesn’t understand the “science”.
Weck’s ‘claim’ that Balanced Locomotion is as simple as #HeadOverFoot has no peer review studies to “prove” it correct.
Therefore it must be ignored (pretend you didn’t hear about it) and deride it as “anecdotal” and therefore unscientific.
Anyone who watches good athletes run can plainly see they are NOT bracing their cores stiff and straight.
Truth is…
I cannot understand the Scientists who govern the narrative as far as what should, and should not, be done professionally.
With no shortage of extremely vocal and incredible ‘righteous indignation’ against BOSU Balls as they preach utter non-sense with a religious zeal that renders their intellects frozen stiff in confusion.
All they’ve ever done is ridicule & reject anything I put forth — until now (AS THEIR DAYS AS THOUGHT LEADERS INEVITABLY RUN OUT) they strategically “ignore” and say nothing about my critical analysis and solution to the number one negative issue they’ve brought to the fore — compromising physical integrity for millions of athletes conditioned and strengthened on the foundation of “anti-core” stability training — when human beings are trained upon a false foundation (uprooting neural engrams as foundation), their bodies lack the athletic response-ability they could otherwise have developed by training with Correct Intent.
It’s so simple.
When you actually understand human movement… efficiency to optimize (not imbalanced to compromise) gait function, you are worthy of working in the fitness profession.
Those who refuse to correct past mistakes and misguided present day actions… will certainly “Find Out” 🤣🥲😉

One of the most jaw-dropping performances I ever coached, a 5'5" freshman, 1st time ever high jumping, on a cold, windy day, goes 6'0", will never forget that day and moment!
Today is the ten year anniversary of @PumasTrack (Nico Capezio) high jumping 6’0” as a freshman.

With words because the information is SO valuable.
@PumasTrack & @pntrack do everything right AND are curious & courageous, unlike the majority, to put the interests of their athletes above their own by always getting better at making their athletes faster.
Their Track Record is a testament to their relentless pursuit of better.
No surprise we love each other so much.

PR performance for Elissa Perkins in the triple jump, the freshman jumped for a distance of 40-6 ¾ (12.36m)‼️

SOUND ON.
@PumasTrack getting it going with the prototype ProPulse PowerVest. @pntrack your protege is the “old soul” awesome coach feeding cats — making them VERY happy & healthy. #FasterIsFASTER
It’s a NEW Plyometric Training Stimulus PATENTED to produce More FORCE with Less TIME on the ground.
This one is bigger than the BOSU Ball — an unprecedented NEW athletic advantage — aka Athletic Necessity.
“Ten push-ups”!!!! Can’t fake it in the physical realm.

Replying to @pntrack
@pntrack sent me this photo this morning. Despite the all-to-common misunderstanding (that Usain Bolt didn’t have “good” technique)… because he was “all over the place”, it’s time to recognize and understand Usain Bolt had INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT technique.
And the implications to “Core-Stability” training literally FLIPS THE SCRIPT on the “anti-core” super stiff and straight spine is necessary for athletic & safety movement.
It’s the OPPOSITE.
Conventional thinking is/was a man so tall as Bolt would not be capable of competing in the 100M — but it was precisely his ability to COIL HIS CORE that enabled him to start with the shorter sprinters.
Bolt cut the centerline with his right knee on his initial step out of the blocks (using his SPINAL ENGINE to drive the hip) — and THIS allowed him to launch at a lower angle out of the blocks.
But you can go to YouTube and watch “the best coaches” and one of the greatest sprinters of all time telling us he’s making a mistake.
We are dispelling the confusion and myths that have been parroted by so many experts for so long.
#HeadOverFoot is Balanced Locomotion. And THIS is why Usain Bolt was/is so great.
