We talk about muscle like it’s only for strength, but its impact reaches every corner of your physiology.

In this week’s TRS Podcast, we sit down with journalist & author to explore why muscle is about so much more than the physical.

We dive into:
🔹 The nature of muscle as an endocrine organ that communicates with the brain
🔹 The cultural stories/myths we carry about strength, beauty & aging
🔹 How play, adaptability & recovery shape our resilience
🔹 Why “lifting something heavy for you” is one of the best things you can do

This is a must-listen for anyone curious about strength through the lens of science, storytelling, & the human experience.

🔥 Hot take: There is no such thing as perfect posture.
⁠
The real goal is organization ⤵️
⁠
🫁 Can you take a deep, full breath?
🦴 Can your body access its natural ranges of motion?
⁠
If so, you’re doing it right (even if your setup doesn’t look like a textbook diagram).⁠
⁠
Instead of chasing ideal posture, check in with your body:
⁠
✅ Are you breathing fully?
✅ Do you feel stable and mobile?
✅ Can you move from here with ease?
⁠
Remember: strength, mobility, and performance all start with awareness, not rigidity.⁠
⁠
🧠 Movement is a conversation, not a fixed position.

Your best positions are the ones that support how you move through life.⁠
⁠
Save this as your reminder to move well, breathe deep, and let go of posture perfection.

🎄 Holiday travel = joy, stress, and cankles. ⁠

You know the saying: the calf is the second heart of the body… ❤️‍🔥⁠

And nothing reminds you of that faster than a long flight, a day in the car, or that sluggish post-travel swelling that makes your ankles feel like sausages in wool socks.⁠
⁠
But good news… you don't need a headstand in the airport terminal (though... respect if you try).

Here's what we actually recommend for combating that lower leg congestion:⁠
⁠
✅ High-level intermittent compression: Think voodoo bands. Just 2–3 minutes of wrapping/unwrapping can seriously accelerate lymphatic return.⁠
⁠
✅ Legs up the wall: Hotel room, airport lounge, Grandma's guest bedroom. 5–10 mins can do wonders.⁠
⁠
✅ Get walking: Movement = muscle pump. Even 5–10 min strolls between layovers help manage that post-travel puff.⁠
⁠
Gravity isn't going anywhere… but you are. So take care of those calves and give your circulatory system the boost it deserves.⁠
⁠
🛫 Save this for your next flight & tag your fellow travelers to they, too, can be cankle-free this holiday season!

And if you want to take those happy ankles into the new year with better movement + massive savings, drop “2025” below for early Black Friday access.

Plus, one lucky purchaser will win a FREE spot in our Starrett System live coaching cohort ($1,499 value)!

POV: You’ve got aches, tight hips, and a foam roller that mostly gathers dust.

You know you should be doing more for your body…

But between programs that are too intense (or too random), you’re stuck in the “meh” zone:

➡️ Not injured enough to stop.
➡️ Not mobile enough to feel great.
➡️ Not sure where to start or how to continue
⁠
We’ve spent the last couple of decades helping athletes, coaches, parents, and everyday movers bridge that gap with tools, protocols, and education that actually work.⁠
⁠
This Black Friday, we’re embracing the ‘go big or go home’ mindset with a deep discount on the Mobility Coach app yearly subscription.

Commit to a full year (& beyond!) of daily maintenance to keep you feeling & functioning as your best self.

Oh… and since we take the ‘go big’ part seriously…

Our Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale also includes our arsenal of other tools, protocols, gear, coaching, and training programs.

Everything we offer to help you move better, feel better, and perform better is on the table.⁠

Want to live longer, feel better, and p**p like a champ? Start with fiber. 💪

At The Ready State, we believe the highest calling of strength & conditioning isn’t just stronger squats.

It’s transforming families and communities through better health practices.

Because sport? It’s just the framework.

The goal? Becoming more completely human.

That includes:
✔️ Moving well
✔️ Sleeping deeply
✔️ Eating enough micronutrients (read: plants)
✔️ And stacking small habits like getting 30g of fiber a day.

It’s not sexy. It’s not complicated. But it’s foundational.

📣 If you care about gut health, your microbiome, or just want regular p**ps… fiber is the signal in the noise.

🎙️ We break it all down with on our podcast.

Tendinopathy? Pesky elbows? Meet your new best friend. 🤝

Enter: Revolution

This little tool is my new favorite way to tackle stubborn elbow pain and here’s why it works:

✔️ Encourages massive blood flow (stack with BFR = 💥)⁠
✔️ Works the entire chain: wrist, elbow, shoulder⁠
✔️ Lets you train through more angles and positions⁠
✔️ Cranks down to gnarly isometrics aka tendon rehab gold⁠

Instead of babying the joint with a 2lb dumbbell in one static position, you’re loading and rotating in weird, functional ways (the way your body actually moves).⁠

⏱️ Try this: 30s on, 30s off in every wild shape you can think of. And yes, it’s supposed to burn.⁠

Let me know how it goes. 💪

What You’ll Learn:
🧩 Why eyesight ≠ vision
🧠 How vision problems are actually brain problems
