Me in 2014

• Painful Shoulder injury
• Felt weak and out of shape
• $1000s wasted (bad injury rehab)

Me today

• Strongest I’ve been
• 100% pain-free workouts
• Fixing 1 year injuries in 6 weeks

This is my story:

I tried it all.

• Rehab protocols
• Osteos + chiros
• Physiotherapy
• Stretching
• Massage

After 6 months wasting 100s hours on ineffective programs I was tired, frustrated and in pain.

But above all, I was terrified…

In my efforts to get to 6% bodyfat,

I had pushed my body /w/:

• Too much volume
• VERY quick progression
• Stretching into passive ranges

I was destroying my joints, unable to recover and pairing that with a weak rotator cuff was a cocktail for disaster…

But before I got help, I decided to ignore the pain and train through it

Workouts were filled with:

• Anxiety and fear
• Pain and discomfort
• Clicking and grinding

And I starting cutting them short when the pain became unbearable.

It was time to get help…

Despite seeing different experts,

I was STILL:

• Unable to train
• Losing confidence
• Losing strength
• Losing muscle
• gaining fat

I didn’t know what to do or where to turn...

Losing hope, I visited a private shoulder surgeon as my last resort…

“You’ll need surgery - It’ll be $10,000”.

Oh.

That’s NOT what I wanted to hear.

I knew if I went down that route, my shoulder would NEVER be the same.

And this is where my 8 year journey into fitness & injury rehab begins…

I began a search to fix my shoulder…

And got a:

• Job in the fitness industry
• $300/h injury rehab mentor
• $10000 bundle of courses

The mentor taught me 2 things that would fix my injury and change my life forever…

1/ ANATOMY

I learned that anatomy is unique to the individual and affects things like:

• Your range of motion
• the exercises you choose
• How you perform them

Altering exercise to my anatomy meant I could avoid further injury / pain and damage.

Ps. Here’s an example👇

Pps. That means if you have a scapula like the one on the right, you should NOT do:

• Chin ups
• Pulldowns
• Shoulder press

Why? You’re forcing your body into a position that doesn’t suit your anatomy.

2/ EXERCISE DESIGN

I learned how to create bespoke exercises by altering forces so I could:

• Load my injured area
• And strengthen it
• whilst avoiding pain

Ps. Here’s what I started with 👇

100s hours of research and self-experimentation later, I started succeeding.

• My workouts were pain free
• I felt strong in the gym
• I started regaining muscle
• My performance skyrocketed

Finally, I was able to train hard without having to worry about my injury…

Since then,

I have helped clients:

• Overcome 12-48 month injuries
• Train 100% pain free in <6 weeks
• Beat “unfixable” injuries no one else could solve

All in less time, for less money, with less confusion / frustration that it took me 👇
