“Understanding the connective tissue formation process gives us insight into how to prevent injuries and heal nagging joints marked by junky scar tissue formations. With this knowledge, you can assemble a training system that rebuilds and maintains connective tissue structures for strong, functional joints that are resistant to breakdown, irritation, and reinjury.”

“Load training (a.k.a. resistance training) is the most effective lever for resolving joint pain and building a resilient body. Everything else—stretching, foam rolling, manual therapy, massage, flossing, smashing, taping, cracking, and popping—is secondary. You can spend hours each week on extraneous soft tissue and recovery work, but if you don’t effectively utilize load training, you won’t get the relief you’re looking for.”

“During their colonial rule of India, the British government began to worry about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi. To reduce the numbers, they instituted a reward for every dead snake brought to officials. In response, Indian citizens dutifully complied and began breeding the snakes to slaughter and bring to officials. The snake problem was worse than when it started because the British officials didn’t think at the second level.”
