This is what trusting the process looks like

• Consistency
• Discipline
• investing in yourself

Showing up daily, putting in the work inside and outside of the gym and trusting that time will reveal the benefits of consistency.

Story time⬇️⬇️⬇️

As some of you may know, I started Kinetix with .arnett because this exact reason

Yes, I had a lot going on, an MRI that looked like a laundry list of problems that were going on in my shoulders.

Take away the fact that I couldn’t train and had to be very careful about the way that I did, I couldn’t even do simple tasks like turning my steering wheel without worrying about my shoulder acting up

When I had a flair up, I couldn’t use it for anywhere between 20-30 minutes, and the rest of the day would be riddled with pain, discomfort and frustration.

I’m sharing this not to complain about my experience with my shoulder, but for people that are feeling that same way that I did

There is hope
There is a solution out there
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Where things shifted for me was when I finally stopped looking for a diagnosis, and started focusing on the mission

My message to those that are dealing with this:
Don’t give up, and find someone who wants to work with you and help you accomplish something (not just treat a diagnosis)

Story time: while in my last year of undergrad I was deadlifting when I felt that dreaded pop in my low back. Over the next four years, I would go on to try 8 different chiropractors, a crazy amount of “rehab” exercises from Instagram and YouTube, massage, acupuncture, and enough ibuprofen to give me the beginnings of a stomach ulcer.

I thought I’d never be able to squat or deadlift again.

But, with a lot of patience, and even more discipline to get into the gym and do the right rehab even on the days my back hurt or I didn’t feel like it, I slowly made my way back to the barbell.

I learned along the way that in the musculoskeletal injury space most practitioners are selling quick fixes, not because it’s what they want to do but because we’ve evolved into consumers that want a solution/outcome/result, and we want it now. It took my trying a million quick fixes to understand that.

This is why .connorlewin and I founded Kinetix. In a world of quick fixes and subpar outcomes, we wanted to create long term results for our patients and athletes. We aren’t interested in making a lifetime patient out of your injury. We’re invested in helping you reach your goal and empowering you to stay healthy, strong and injury free.

If I got diagnosed with a disc herniation today…

I wouldn’t panic
I wouldn’t stop moving
I wouldn’t baby it forever

I’d modify, load and rebuild.

Because the goal isn’t just to “heal”
It’s to come back stronger.

If you’re dealing with back pain and feel stuck after PT, chiro, or rest…we should talk

We love mobility work as much as the next guy, but the best mobility progresses into movements and ranges of motion that can be loaded with weight to really maximize the gains.

Give these moves a try!

I’ve seen lots of doctors, PTs and even some trainers blame CrossFit when someone gets hurt.

And it usually sounds something like this:
• deadlifts, cleans, and jerks are bad for your back
• You’re always over training
• It’s too hard on your joints

But the truth is most injuries we see in CrossFit athletes have nothing to do with the sport itself.

It generally comes down to 3 things:

1. Doing high skill movements while already fatigued.
Olympic lifts, kipping, overhead work— these are all technical movements. When fatigue hits positions breakdown. If you don’t have solid mechanics first, intensity will expose it.

2. Mobility that doesn’t match movement demands.
Overhead squats, sn**ches, and jerks require a lot of shoulder, thoracic spine and ankle mobility. If you don’t have the range, your body will find it elsewhere…usually the low back or shoulders.

3. Accessory work is neglected.
Most athletes love doing the WOD. Few consistently do the boring stuff that keeps them durable. Single-leg work, upper back strength, mobility, trunk stability. Those pieces are what bullet proof your body for high- volume training.

CrossFit isn’t the problem.
Poor preparation for the demands of the sport is.

If you’re a CrossFit athlete dealing with nagging pain and not sure where to go for help DM us TRAIN and we’ll have one of our doctors reach out to you.

We love a little mobility work + some weighted mobility for a great warm up before an overhead heavy workout

Comment and let us know if you try these out!

Check out our latest blog post!

it is a good one on a topic that we have at least one conversation a week with a patient about.

Most people think surgery is the next step after rehab “fails.” But surgery isn’t a guarantee. Here’s why poor rehab may be the real issue.

The idea that your glutes just forgot how to fire because you sit too much is one of fitness cultures favorite horror stories right now

Your glutes are not asleep. They are not on vacation. They are not waiting for a banded clamshell to “wake them up”

If you can squat, hinge, sprint, jump, or climb stairs….your glutes are working.

If you “don’t feel them” it’s probably because:

1. The stimulus isn’t big enough. A pink mini band and vibes aren’t tension

2. You only live in the sagittal plane. Squats and deadlifts are great, but hips also abduct and rotate. Train in the frontal and transverse planes and suddenly your glutes stop “playing dead”

3. You don’t have to feel a muscle for it to be working. Your quads don’t send you a handwritten letter every rep either.

Stop chasing sensation.
Your glutes aren’t asleep.

You got hurt sprinting. Cutting. Jumping. Training hard.

So why does your rehab never move past floor exercises and light bands?

Here’s the problem:
That generic packet of glute bridges, planks, and side-lying leg raises? It can absolutely calm symptoms down. For a lot of people it works…temporarily.

But athletes don’t live at low intensity.

If your rehab never gets heavier, faster or more demanding..it’s not building the capacity you actually need to handle your sport.

So yea, maybe your pain goes away. Until you ramp training back up.
And then you’re right back where you started.

Pain relief isn’t the goal.

Being able to load, move, and train without constantly flaring up is.

If you lift like an athlete, you need to rehab like one.

More sn**ch work!!

These are just two of the drills I work with my athletes on when we are focused on the first half of the overhead sn**ch movement.

Give us an @ if you try these drills out! 🏋🏽‍♀️
