In this episode of the BikeJames Podcast I recap the insights and lessons I took from the recent Perform Better Functional Training Summit. It was a 3 day event in Long Beach that brought in some of the best coaches in the industry to share their knowledge.

My Big 5 Take Aways:
1 - Leverage and Torque based tension are different than Compression based tension. This is why the Mace and Indian Clubs are more effective for “real world/ farm boy” strength.
2 - The Glute Bridge/ Hip Thrust deserves a spot with Squat and Hinge as lower body movement patterns that need to be trained. Ramping Iso Bridge achieves the goal of the loaded hip thrust.
3 - The hips are made to create and absorb force along multiple planes and they need to be trained that way.
4 - Keto is overrated and misunderstood.
5 - Functional Training needs to evolve past the current “Correctives + Kettlebells” formula.
Until next time…
Ride Strong,
James Wilson
