Long before fascia became a buzzword, we were applying these principles to build a system that produces real, measurable results through movement.
In our recent interview with Thomas Myers from , we discussed how much of the industry is still 10+ years behind these concepts.
One of the most important traits we can train in the body is elasticity.
Elasticity is how our muscles, and especially fascia, absorb force, store it, and release it through movements like walking, running, and jumping. This is what is referred to as elastic recoil, the body’s ability to load energy into the tissues and release it like a spring. It gives you spring in your step, resilience in your joints, and longevity in how you move.
The problem is most training does not develop this quality, and some of it actively degrades it over time.
Take cycling, for example. Because the body is constrained to the motion of the bike, you are not getting the impact that comes from moving on your feet. Over time, this shifts the body toward becoming more muscle-bound in the wrong areas, which causes the joints and connective tissue to lose access to their full range of motion with balanced tension.
To put it simply, if your training does not reinforce how you move as a human. That means standing, walking, running, and throwing. You are not building a more capable body, you are reinforcing limitations.
We don’t just train muscles, we train how the entire system works together.
This is how you build strength that lasts.
