While flare-ups are, unfortunately, a common part of rehab and recovery, it's only human to feel frustrated when they happen.

But, they can also be a good time to collect some data on:
✔️ Where you upper limits are
✔️ What lifestyle factors, that you may not have initially considered, affect your symptoms
✔️ What is the most effective way to calm down your pain when it flares

Have you ever thought, ‘I should probably stretch more,’ but weren’t sure which type is actually best?

Here’s a breakdown of the different types of stretching and when to do them. 👌

A common complaint we get when people do lunges is that the back knee hurts. This could be due to that leg not having the passive mobility to flex the knee, eccentric control to get low or having the positional strength to hold the lunge.

Try these exercises out to help alleviate knee pain while lunging.

1) Couch Stretch

2) Front Foot Elevated Split Squat

3) Lunge Isometric

When performing ballistic kettlebell movements, efficiency starts with how you hold the bell. I recommend either a pronated grip or a barbell-style grip. The pronated grip reinforces the cue “thumbs to bum,” helping you keep the kettlebell’s arc tight so the power from your hinge transfers directly into the bell. The barbell grip tends to feel most natural, especially for athletes who already train with barbells.

The grip I don’t recommend is the neutral grip, as it places the elbow in a position prone to hyperextension. Repeated hyperextension can lead to irritation or pain over time—something you want to avoid in high-volume ballistic work.

The most common no-rep at the Hyrox wall ball station isn’t the throw.

It’s not hitting squat depth.

Here are 3 ways to clean up your reps 👇

✔️ Use a depth target
Place a ball behind you so you physically know how far you need to descend. No guessing.

✔️ Adjust your stance
Widen slightly and toe out to give your hips more room to sit down instead of forward.

✔️ Train strength and elasticity at the bottom
Oscillating squats with a hand hold build control, rebound, and confidence in the hole.

Why it matters:
Clean depth = clean reps.
Clean reps = fewer penalties and faster overall times.

Pain isn’t just about what’s happening in the body. It is shaped by a mix of biological, psychological and social factors. Here are some of the biggest influences on pain.

Sudden or acute lower back pain, can be scary, but does not always mean you have to stop moving, especially in the absence of traumatic injury. When we experience pain in another area of our body such as our shoulder we might use that shoulder less and the other one more.

When we experience pain in our knee, we might limit our walking, but we still continue to walk with a limp in order to do what we need to do throughout the day. But when we experience lower back pain, we suddenly want to stop everything. Maybe this is because pain around the spine feels scarier, but the best course of action is actually to stay active within tolerance.

This can range from gentle movements while lying down to going for a short walk. Gradual exposure back into everyday activities is not only what you should do, but what you must do in order to recover.

If you sit a lot or feel stiffness in the front of your hips, this one’s for you. Dropping into a static lunge lets you work on lengthening strength and truly opening the front of the hip on the back leg. Work on -keeping your chest tall gently sinking down to feel that deep stretch + strength combo.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Running has a low barrier to entry and offers countless health benefits. As you progress and start craving more variety—or set specific goals—you can introduce different types of workouts to elevate your training.

Each workout serves a distinct purpose, and here’s a clear breakdown of how they fit into a well‑rounded running routine. 🏃🏃‍♀️

If traditional mobility drills aren't getting you results, try incorporating loaded eccentrics. These involve lengthening a muscle under load, which helps improve flexibility by increasing stretch tolerance, remodeling tissue, and building strength in end ranges. The result? More mobility and more control.

If your grip keeps giving out, it’s usually not about effort...t’s about how you train it.

To build grip strength that actually carries over:

• Dead hangs to improve endurance and shoulder–hand connection
• Plate pinches to strengthen the fingers and thumb
• Finger flexion with a band to build control through the hand

Grip strength improves when you train it intentionally, not just when you hold on longer.

Better control leads to stronger reps.
Stronger reps lead to better movement.
