• “Rehab is training in the presence of an injury”

• “You’re not injured, you’re 85% healthy”

• Rehab has gotten very passive

• Meet them where they’re at with graded exposure and empower them to move actively

• Where is the line between a medical professional and a trainer? Unexplained pain.

• Article: STOP WORRYING, AND START LIVING.

  • 90% of people between 50-55 years old have age related changes in their spine (but 9/10 people don’t have back pain).

  • 48% of people between 20-22 years old have age related changes in a disc, while 25% had a bulge (so there goes that “just getting old” analogy).

  • 77% of healthy, pain-free hockey players have hip abnormalities shown on imaging.

  • 20% of healthy, pain-free adults have partial rotator cuff tears.

• “Need to clinically correlate” Findings on images need to line up with what you find with their movement.

• You won’t lose clients for making referrals!

• What is your virtual therapy process like?

• Bad personal experiences

• Trust - Connection - Relationship - Human

• Client education examples: Explain Pain / Why do I hurt?

• Is there a world where you can treat 5 or 6 people at a time and do it right and do it well? Does it all come down to the environment, community, and relationships? This is where the coupling of Rehab & Strength Training would be incredibly important

Show Notes:Question #1: I have a couple of clients with Parkinson and also clients over the age of 80+. As you know, most doctors aren’t easy to get on board with proactive health care.

Can you please send me the reference or do you have any books or other research I could share with doctors to get them on board?

Show Notes:

Programming for Adult Groups

• Different price points = different expectations and options for individualization

• A system of regressions and progressions ensures no one is held back, no one is left behind and everyone is safe and successful

• The rule of 3 and 10: your operations and systems need to change whenever you multiply by 3 or 10… 3 people, 10 people, 30 people, 100 people, 300 people, etc…

• The philosophy stays the same, but the methods change. If you have a universal belief system all your workouts should look similar.

• Do we have the equipment? Do we have the space? Is it safe for a large group?

Intro Program (micro):

• We do have the same ability to assess people signing up for group training due to the lower price point

• 8 week intro program that provides guardrails and gives up a mini-assessment and address all our movement patterns (squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, low impact)

• After that the adults groups are on a 12 month rotational program

• We write ONE program that is then adapted to the individual. NOT 10 individualized programs. If you want an individualized program you pay the high price for that aka personal training

• Ex. The group is kettlebell swinging but the new group member will be hinging or deadlifting. The kettlebell swing is advanced and earned.

• Cast a really big net to catch a lot of fish, but you won’t catch all the fish and that’s okay.

• Have workout number 12 and beyond in your mind when you’re setting up an introductory program and starting out. Don’t try to crush them with volume or intensity. Think about and talk about the next workout.

Training Structure

• The first few workouts are just understanding where things are, how things work, where things are, who’s part of the community - teach them the recipe!

• Don’t single the new individual out. Keep them moving within the group. Be okay with not completing the whole workout(s) the first few weeks.

• You DON’T have to do an assessment on the first session. You can just make it a meet and greet and save the “physical” assessment for the second workout

12 sessions and beyond (macro):

• Each month (phase) has a different focus - tempos, isos, eccentrics, hypertrophy, density, circuits, complexes

• Seasonal training - in season, off season, maintenance

• There’s a bit of “enter-trainment” needed when training people train with you for a long time

Personality types

• Check the box types

• Goal oriented types

• Training focused types

How to develop great “adult athletes/clients”?

• Nurture relationships

• Gym culture

• Buying into their goals

• Keep Pushing them

Show Notes:

Question # 1 - Many of my clients are over 50 and 60. What are the best power exercises for them?

• As we age, we lose power twice as fast as we lose strength

• Power is all relative

• What is a true plyometric?

• Lower body favorable exercises for older clients

  • Anything faster than walking!

  • Ladder drills - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZNrxYDbpoM

  • Brain games

  • Skipping - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChT8WHQNLM0

  • Jump roping or pogos - https://youtu.be/EexK-lFozXg

  • BOUNCE!

  • What’s a warm up for an athlete may be a power exercise for an adult client

  • Squat drops

  • Low amplitude bounds

  • Box jumps

• Tissue changes as we age paper - https://www.fasciaresearch.de/publications/Schleip_TrainingPrinciplesFascial.pdf

• Most advanced: kettlebell swing is just a broad jump in place without the pounding on your joints

• We don’t hop, hurdle, bound linearly or Olympic lift with adults due to the risk of injury

• “I don’t care how high you can jump, I care about how well you land. Once you can land well, then I care how high you can jump!”

• Medicine ball throws is jumping for you upper body:

  • Chest pass

  • Side toss - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmyCzDza2NQ

  • Slams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNyWF-P5WYM

  • Shot puts

• Catching the ball is the absorption/eccentric part and important

• How to build your own medicine ball wall

• Soft Medicine balls from Perform Better are very low risk and quiet

• We don’t do any plyo push ups due to the risk and lack of wrist extension and shoulders mobility

Question # 2 - Should I stretch or not? And if so, when?

• I feel so much better after I stretching = more stretch tolerance

• Stretching helps us get into better positions

• After not moving all day, stretching is a nice way to get into your body and get into end ranges

• Stretching doesn’t affect power if you warm up, strength train properly and work on motor control and patterns
