BIG CHANGES IN THE SCHOOL... (please read)
I discussed this in the last live chat but wanted to make a post to make it clear for everyone... For those who have been in here some time it may be clear I haven't had the same focus on this Skool that I did for the first few years (up until 2025 really). I recently got my first house but bigger then that am now expecting my first child (due next month) with my beautiful partner. Also Rope Flow has taken off and so managing Way of the Rope is taking a lot more time then it once did. A lot of the chapters in this school are fun and valuable chapters of physical development/education. Like side quests, tools, tricks and practices - but for me when my body is feeling good (which thanks to many of the practices I have shared here it is ) all I want to do is run in the hills! (if this is what you desire too then I feel there is a pretty clear trail of breadcrumbs to follow all within this skool) As passionate as I am about running and love talking about sharing what I know and am learning - I know that isn't for everyone. It also feels like a long game now as progress is very gradual and just takes consistency. This leaves me doing less poking around on the fringe edges of the 'fitness industry' and more just developing my own heart, lungs and legs for the demands of traversing hills and mountains as effortlessly as possible. All these factors combined have left me with limited time, limited desire and limited new wisdom to share here. So for now I have decided to put the School of Biomechanics on sort of a pause. How will it work? I have made the skool free for everyone. All you need to do is cancel your membership and then when it runs out rejoin it for free. However you may see that all the premium courses i created here are now paid courses. Everyone that has been in the skool since before 2025 (or people who paid for a yearly membership) I am happy to re-instate every program for you no extra price at all just message me and I can do it. For everyone else who joined in 2025 - for every month you were with my before this date I will give you two programs, just message me and request which one you would like.

All love friend. Congratulations on the child. Enjoy the ride.
Movement Economy for Combat Sports
Hello friends! Just wanted to share a video about combat sports movement economy. Shares a similar message that Tim and many others have about learning movement or sport. I share a lot of the ideas this guy has but I think he expressed them in a very clear way. Hope everyone is learning a lot and having fun here in the School of Biomechanics!
Fascia Thoughts
Is there a section on here or soon to be here focused on fascia and fascia development? I've always heard about it but haven't ever gotten a concrete understanding of it and would love to have a module to dive deeper into it if possible.
Whats the best session you've done lately? 🏊🏻‍♂️
Training with an end challenge/goal for the first time in a few years is actually refreshing (see live chat if you're unsure what I'm referring to). Life without a goal for a while is great when you are always striving for something but I didn't know how much I missed one til this one came to me. It's the polarity as always! I am enjoying many of my workout during this 'training camp'. The highlights for me have been mainly the Ninja Warrior sessions but last week I had swimming session that I really enjoyed. It seemingly came out of nowhere, a culmination of many of my previous swims distilling down what I'd learnt about my fatigue levels, lap times, recovery, goals etc. I opted for a Friday swim after a week of lots of upper body training but not much high intensity/cardio. The swim allows me to recover my forearms/grip whilst still training the heart and the full body as one system pumping blood to every crevice AND filling up my skin suit, reaching, stretching every stroke. I mostly swim front crawl in 6 lengths sets (25m pool= 150m) but as these usually take around 2:30-3mins to complete and leave me gassed for a while - I decided to try 4 lengths (100m) sets. After the first one I noticed I needed just over a minute recovery to feel ready to go again and it took me about 1:45 to complete I decided to go again on the 3min mark. It felt right. So I did this again and again 4, 5, 6 times - So I decided I'd do 10 rounds of this. However at the 8th one I felt much more tired and it dropped from a 1:45 to closer to 2mins to do so I called it there. Right up until that one I felt challenged but strong and that was the turning point so I stopped. Swimming 8x100m every 3mins on the 3mins was my fave sessions lately. Anyway a lot I can't quite express and I fear this could be terribly boring so I will pass it off to you. What is the best session you've done lately? It can be an obvious quantifiable structured session or and enjoyable creative free flow, whatever you left feeling fulfilled and buoyant from...

I've been training for a handful of wrestling competitions starting in the spring. I've really been enjoying the consistency with my sessions and starting to feel stronger. Strength training has been focus on heavy sandbags, movement training has been focused on CCT/RMT kettlebells, and mobility has become a must do every session. No one session stands out but the way my program has been coming together has been really satisfying. I've learned to listen to my body and have been adjusting to make sure each session is positive and productive. Big thanks to you and the platform you've provided.
What are your Goals for 2025? 🙂‍↕️
Happy New Year Biomechanistas! 🥳 The holiday season is now behind us which I always find slightly relieving, that said I hope everyone had a fun/eventful time and let off some steam. 😅 I am not one for traditional type goals but I do still think there is value in asking ourselves the simple question - 'What do I want from this year?' So let me ask it - What do you want from this year? 🤔 As we are a movement/fitness/training based school it would be fitting to tailor it towards our physical practice, what we want to achieve, experience, feel, develop etc.. It can be an obvious target like a 5k time, a TGU with a certain weight or something more subjective like 'to enjoy my training' etc. I'll start... Last year I actually thoroughly enjoyed my training and especially in the later 3-4months I found a real joy and nourishment in each gym session that surpasses anything in recent history for me. They were explosive, creative, energetic, not overly intense, sweaty, rhythmical etc... So really I would be very content with more of the same, but I'll write a few down and in brackets what it requires to do. 1) More fun playful sessions I enjoy and look forward to. (kettlebell and treadmill sessions) 2) To feel springier. (plyometric work) 3) Learn to spin properly on my Rollerskates (skate once per week). That's it from me, please share your goals as minimally or as in depth as you like! Lot's of love, Tim p.s. Live Chat next Wednesday to discuss in more details with anyone who want's to join.
