Tried the backwards walking on an incline-what a game changer! I’m feeling my glutes and hip extensors working like never before and I have more mobility in my ankles. My hips feel more open and my forward gait is smoother.

4 years ago, I couldn’t even dream of doing this. After tearing my meniscus, my knee was so unstable that my tibia would literally slide around during Jiu Jitsu. Every step felt like a reminder of what I couldn’t do anymore. Fast forward to today: here’s a single-leg squat on a slant board. Something that once felt impossible is now a reality. 💪 This isn’t just about strength. It’s about rebuilding trust in my body, brick by brick. Proof that with the right approach, you don’t have to accept decline as your destiny. And the best part? Ben Patrick himself (the Knees Over Toes Guy) called it “badass.” 👊 ➡️ Video attached. If you’re battling injuries, setbacks, or doubts — remember: aging is inevitable. Decline is a choice. Keep stacking your wins.

Today’s Protocol: The Problem Solver We've all been there. You're in the middle of a training session, and you feel a pinch in your knee or a tweak in your back. Most people either stop or try to push through it. Both are a mistake. A high-achieving professional doesn't leave their success to chance, and they shouldn't leave their body to chance either. The RBLD Method: Problem Solver Flow Chart is a core part of our methodology. It's the simple tool you use to turn a setback into a solution. Don't stop. Don't push through it. Don't guess. Use this chart to work with your body, not against it. The goal isn't to be perfect; the goal is to be resilient. This flow chart is located in The Foundational Protocols course in classrooms. If you have a question about how to use this, drop it in the comments below.
