Bear,
As we are in the trenches of the terrible 3’s and it seems “no” has become your favorite word recently I wanted to post this to myself as a reminder of your sweetness. Even on the days when you don’t listen, or share at the park you can in the same moment show so much compassion for a friends boo boo and ask if they need a bandaid. Your emotions are big and new and I think they overwhelm you as much as they do me. You are a beautiful boy… with the sweetest of souls. You were made for something special. Our creator has a plan for you. I can’t wait to watch you grow. We love you Bear Elijah Johnson. Everything …all of it.. the messy.. the fun… the craziness … everything hallelujah ❤️

Success is paying attention to what is unfolding around you, saying a well timed “yes” to what this moment is offering, responding to it with your whole heart in devotion & service, then letting it go.

Happy Birthday my love.
You are a gift to all of us.
Even in my darkest moments or hardest days I hear you saying “Do you want me to write a song to get us out of this mess?” Or you make an insanely crazy face and ask “Do you think I’m handsome?”
The answer is yes to both! :)
I love you forever Barrett! ❤️

and it turns into a full metabolic banger—while still creating space, stacking posture, and unlocking more expansive breathing.

Strength, alignment, and breath… Set the stage for how you’ll go about your day

KAATSU Recovery Flow, one of a few I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks

When KAATSU is paired with mellow, low-intensity movement it creates a powerful recovery environment:

• Vascular benefit: The light restriction + movement stimulates circulation and encourages healthy blood vessel function

• Metabolite signaling: Gentle metabolite buildup helps trigger recovery pathways without adding training stress.

• Enhanced blood flow after release: When the bands come off, fresh oxygenated blood rushes back into the muscles.

• Low load, high return: You get recovery and circulation benefits without pounding the joints or nervous system.

Go try my entry level routines to advanced sessions on the @foundationtraining APP

Japan | Dr. Yoshiaki Sato inventor : this trip marked my second oh “shit moment” with KAATSU

I stopped seeing KAATSU as just a workout tool… and started seeing it as a way to level up recovery, performance, and long-term health.

Less Wear and Tear….
• You can get stronger using lighter weight (less stress on your joints).
• You recover faster between sessions.
• It helps improve circulation — better blood flow = better performance.
• It can help your body heal and adapt quicker.
• You get more out of shorter workouts.

As I head on another KAATSU related adventure I was reflecting on my reluctance at the start and how things have shifted so heavily since. The gym sessions blow my mind as I get older and they just feel better 💪🏾🤘🏾👊🏾

Costa Rica Sunday session: Smart training is about knowing when to dial up the stress—and when to remove it.

KAATSU training lets us stimulate slow twitch and fast twitch aka. Type I & Type II muscle fibers with low loads while still driving strength, endurance, and power for sports performance.

But KAATSU isn’t meant to be used forever.

Knowing when to remove KAATSU is just as important as knowing when to use it.
Power and speed work I’m going bands free, unrestricted movement matters.

Apply it. Adapt. Remove it.
That’s how athletes progress.

$What if you could get all the lactic-acid training benefits — without heavy loads, joint stress, or brutal fatigue? That’s the power of KAATSU: light weights, controlled pressure, and huge metabolic payoff. You trigger the same adaptation signals you’d get from high-intensity lifting, but with a fraction of the mechanical stress. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️KAATSU restricts venous return just enough to pool blood, spike lactate, and create metabolic stress, all while keeping loads light and movement quality high. You get the signal your muscles need to grow, adapt, and build endurance — without the tissue damage, form breakdown, or CNS fatigue that normally comes with chasing the burn. It’s efficient, joint-friendly, and perfect for accessory work, mobility flows, and whole-system conditioning days. I like starting with @foundationtraining flowing for 4-10mins before some specific lactic producing moves and then it’s onto barbell work. I’ve been playing with complexes that around 90 seconds which tax the lunges and tickle the lactic build up. From there it’s the various moves in a 30on 30off format. Check out the section on the FoundationTraining APP with some fun training combos. #kaatsutraining #foundationtraining #kaatsu #movementculture #steelmaceflow #bloodflowrestriction #barbellworkout #barbellcomplex #lowbackpainrelief$
