The Foundation

Creating force is awesome and very sexy. But, in sports and life, the ability to absorb force is truly what governs resilience and movement capacity. Athletes who focus on building lots of muscles through concentrics (lifting of the weight) usually end up in the same place. Stiffer and slower. LIFTING WEIGHTS ISNT BAD, but when we hardly work on our control of putting weights down, we will surely leave ourselves beat and unable to bend with speed. Get more obsessed with how well you can eccentrically load your lifts and get better at the deloading phase in the gym. This will teach your tissues how to organize when they are distributing forces when the force comes on to us, rather than putting it out. This will not only build more muscles, but will allow your muscles to put out the force at a much higher degree.
