Movement Health

Strength is a Skill.

Routes​

Pages​

  • Gymnastic strength — develop usable strength through progressive bodyweight practice.
  • Mobility — improve joint range, control, and movement options.
  • Musculoskeletal injuries — screen, prevent, and rehabilitate injuries while preserving appropriate clinical judgment.
  • Running — build a sustainable running practice for endurance and health.
  • Speed training — train acceleration and speed with focused movement practice.
  • Surf fitness — prepare strength, mobility, and conditioning for surfing.
  • Swimming — develop swimming technique and conditioning as a whole-body practice.

Use grease the groove to optimise longevity and agility of body and mind.

Desired Attributes​

  • Agility
  • Working joints
  • Strong Posterior chain

Capabilities​

Practice​

Better to focus on functional movement.

Strength is a skill focus on practice not punishment

Exercise with aim to improve the practice of connecting with your central nervous system through intention and attention of movement.

Questions​

If strength is a skill developed through grease-the-groove practice rather than punishment, what separates the practitioners who sustain the habit for decades from those who quit after weeks?

  • Agility, working joints, and a strong posterior chain are listed as desired attributes — how does Pavel Tsatsouline's central nervous system approach address all three simultaneously rather than in isolation?
  • The page prioritizes functional movement over performance metrics — at what point does training for agility and joint health diverge from training for the jumping and throwing capabilities listed?
  • Peter Attia MD and Huberman Lab are both referenced — where does the exercise protocol for longevity overlap with the protocol for peak physical performance, and where do they conflict?
