“You can’t rush perfection”. Lot of fascination with the observation (and non-interference) of watching a healthy baby boy learn to move on his terms, following a perfect innate roadmap to move independently.

A few slides which could be helpful for you in understanding the most basic human thing that we do - movement (and my unsolicited opinions on each):

• Nice visual overview of the first year in slide 1. Simple.

• Many things that adults and “elite” amateur athletes can’t to do in slide 2 that need to predicate “elite” displays in sport & life.

• Many many middle school/high school/college/adult approaches skipping to the top parts of the pyramid in slide 3 for the sake of fun (usually ending poorly) while neglecting/unaware of the bottom 2 tiers which put invisible ceilings on neurology, recovery & performance.

• More visuals and a summary in slides 4 & 5. (I’m tired of typing at this point).

Noticing your health and/or trends going in a direction that you don’t understand or don’t like? Dive into some of these and make sure you can do all of them as a healthy adult or that your kids are on a path that is close to this (from the charts above):

Achieved a goal of grip strength higher than bodyweight. Dad strength? You tell me. Arbirtary goal? Who cares.

Many variables today:
• 7ish hours of total sleep… more than average as I have a 6 week old waking us up 2-3 times/night
• 74 degrees and low humidity (grip didn’t slip). Cold front helped. (My longest hangs ever came on days where it was 60-64°)

Other things that are usually consistent (which were also consistent today):
• Trained at 11:30am in UV 6 on an empty stomach, double espresso pre-session
• 30-45 min full body bodyweight training session with ISOs, crawls, hangs (all in the sun), plus inertial impulses (indoors)

Only big changes lately:
• Inertial impulses 5-6x/week (on top of regular training, ISO’s, etc.) instead of rebounds/altitude drops. No lifting either.
• Training less - about 30-45 min/day 5-6 days/week down from 45-75 min/day 6-7 days/week
• Sleeping less due to newborn. All worth it, just noteworthy. Love of sleep may be psychological attachment and have little impact on performance.

Hand/grip strength is very important. Won’t get into why or link to longevity blah blah blah but you need strong hands. Max grip should be within 15% on each hand regardless of “handedness”. 90+ second hang at one go is a minimum, 3+ min hang cumulative daily is ideal. I also believe 30+ second single arm hang is attainable for all. Also, carry heavy stuff and have the ability to absorb high amounts of force/impact rapidly. Only babies should have soft hands. Haven’t found too much specific grip training aids to be helpful either. General > specific. Those are my two cents. Only seen a few people with grip > bodyweight so here’s me lecturing all you kids. Gym class is over, hit the showers.

State of Florida Health Dept wanted me to share this with everyone. Feels nice to not get lied to or written to like I’m a moron by our government. (In case you don’t want to read 7 slides, it says don’t get the juice and that they never worked in the first place)
