First learn how to create stability. Then how to resist rotation. Finally, add rotation.

General Physical Preparedness (GPP)💥 The majority of people come to me because they have specific goals, usually having never trained before.
But do we need specific goals to train? (And I’m talking; the London marathon, reaching a PB on a back squat, taking part in a tough mudder). The answer, no.
General Physical Preparedness. Personally, I spend a lot of training in this phase.
It’s a phase that encourages a range of big, foundational movements: squat, lunge,push, pull, jump, climb etc. Doing as much as we can as often as we can. It’s going to help develop strength, endurance, it’s going to improve quality of movement and kinaesthetic awareness (understanding how a movement should feel also developing self-empowerment)

Is this going to get me a pb on a back squat, probably not but it’s going help develop a much stronger foundation to build upon.
The best athletes are multi sport athletes. Why? Because they have the a strong and general foundation to build upon. ‘Be general in your foundations so you can be specific in your goals’
