Also - maybe a topic to discuss, I have client who’s knees were sore, we did all of the things to address the issue and have been managing to progress and get stronger - however when we do something different/ that used to trigger the knees she complains of a tight feeling across the knee but not pain. Like where is the line between a mental block to certain movements that used to hurt and actual pain that is cause for concern, like as a coach without feeling what they feel it’s hard and a little scary to progress through someone’s discomfort but when they say it’s not pain it’s just tight, is that an issue or is that a mental block along with normal muscle fatigue from new exercises.

Here’s what’s coming inside the group this month — each piece designed to help you coach with more clarity, confidence, and precision. Based on the questions and comments that have come in so far, this is what to expect... 🔍 1. Live Client Assessment Breakdown (Loom Drop) I’ll walk you through an actual client movement assessment — ➡️ What I saw ➡️ My thought process in real time ➡️ What it told me about programming decisions No fluff — just real-world coaching logic. This will go live in the Movement Assessment Toolkit section next week. 🧠 2. New ‘Principles in Practice’ Mini-Lessons • How to practically progress and regress exercise in a way that makes sense • Bridging the gap between assessments and programming • Understanding relative strength for better exercise selection Short, actionable, principle-first. Expect 1–2 of these per week. 💬 3. New Thread Posts You’ll see more behind-the-scenes posts on:• How I used the Movement Assessment Toolkit to triple my online sign-ups • Why clarity builds trust — before a single rep is performed • The most overlooked part of buy-in (it’s not what you think) Feel free to jump in, share, ask questions — that’s what this space is for. 👇 What You Can Do Now - 🔔 Turn on post notifications - 📌 Watch the Toolkit Walkthrough if you haven’t - 🧠 Drop any assessment or programming dilemmas below — I might use them in a future breakdown Let’s make August a big one. — Mike

Suggested format: - Client situation (age, training background, goal). - Problem (pain, limitation, performance issue). - What you’ve tried so far. - Where you need input. - Make sure to post as a new post for every case so it doesn't get lost in the weeds. Use comments on a specific post for discussion around the specific case in question. This way, feedback stays principle-driven and actionable.

Just added a short breakdown in the Principles in Practice section sharing my current lens on the band-assisted RDL in response to a question that came in through a thread (pinned in the classroom section) — including how I think about its utility, limitations, and where (if anywhere) it fits into the teaching or training process. This is not a definitive stance — just an exploration of ideas based on principles, constraints, and what we’re actually trying to influence when coaching movement. If you’ve used this variation before: 🧠 What was your reasoning? 🔍 What did it help you change or communicate? 💬 Do you still use it — or did you move away from it? Head to Classroom->Principles In Practice to view the full module. Would really value your thoughts in the comments — feel free to agree, disagree, or offer a different lens entirely. That’s what this space is for. Let’s unpack it together.

Seen someone doing this the other day and wondered peoples opinion on it https://images.app.goo.gl/pb2HY
