Three Pillar Performance

Obviously I haven't posted in a while. I've been meaning to get into the concept of basic human movement patterns and how to train them. However, this is an extremely involved topic and I'm not sure how detailed I want to get. In it's most basic form(and I'm completely ripping off Dan John here) the body can push, pull, squat, and hinge. Secondarily, the body can twist, lunge, and carry. Each of these movement patterns has progressions and regressions based on mobility, strength, and individual goals. Obviously you wouldn't expect a sedentary office worker to train the same way as a high school linebacker(though the similarities may surprise you). My next post will focus on the hinge, as it's probably the most important and overlooked movement pattern for athletic prowess and general fitness alike. Also, if you have a topic you'd like me to address in future posts, feel free to message me or post in the comments.

A lot of people want to eat healthfully, but don't really know where to start.
