Eleven surgeries. The doctors told me to quit everything I love. I rejected that — every single time.
Physical therapy gets you to the mailbox and back. It has no idea what an athlete actually demands. That’s the gap I live in: I bridge PT and performance, and take capable men from
“cleared to move” to operationally ready - built around the injuries, not limited by them.

That feeling when you've had both a knee AND shoulder replacement in the last two years and get to roll live again!

There was never ANY doubt I'd be back on the mats.

Knowing how to train and eat, combining that knowledge with the skills of physical therapists like @dicekpsyche and @david_benthem who not only understand athletes but are athletes, and having an unwavering belief that I WOULD do jiu-jitsu again made returning inevitable! taken in Gracie Barra Santa Fe by @theoperationalstandard

Most programs are the same few exercises, same limited rep ranges and types of exercises, become mind numbingly boring, and leave you lacking multiple areas.

I design programs tailored to YOU and YOUR performance goals.

What you get:
13 weeks of elite programming
Complete athletic development
Movement variety
Every energy system conditioned
RESULTS!

If you want to PERFORM and LOOK better than you ever have before, DM me, and let's get to WORK! taken in Santa Fe Athletic Co. by @theoperationalstandard

Use your strength and conditioning to fill the gaps your sport or activity doesn't address.
If your S&C looks exactly like your sport, you'll move the needle but nowhere as quickly as when you train the qualities your sport doesn't subject you to on a regular basis.

Sorenson holds are an exercise you don't see often.
They're a great way to improve back health and build stability through your core.
Start with bodyweight for time and progress the difficulty as you get stronger. by @theoperationalstandard

Major injuries aren't a STOP sign.
They're just a detour you navigate while continuing on your path.
When it comes to recovery from injury and return to performance, my knowledge isn't theoretical. It's not not just secondhand from working with other people, although I'm damn good at it and have learned a ton helping people get back to doing what they love.
I have firsthand experience and know the mental process as well as the physical.

These mistakes will ensure you never make the gym progress you want to.
The great news is that fixing them doesn't require talent, just a willingness to do things right and work hard. by @theoperationalstandard

Who doesn't like throwing things and making loud noises?
Use a lighter Med Ball for throws: 6-12 lbs
2-4 sets of 3-5 reps per side.
MAXIMUM EFFORT on every throw
Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
Then move to the rest of your workout! by @theoperationalstandard
