@pntrack on his podcast (you should definitely watch), “Weck has gone so far down the rabbit hole…”.
So this level of depth can be difficult to understand - because it’s as deep as one can go internally for fullest systemic integration of ROTATIONAL Length & Strength.
No slack — strongest Coil.
When you take a WeckMethod cert, we teach you a much simpler set up anyone can do day one.
At lunch and after I teach anyone who wants to know (typically everyone) where it goes IF one is seeking “biomechanical completion”.
My own personal “athletic inadequacy” (can’t get paid to play) with my competitive drive to seek every advantage funded by “mailbox money” from the BOSU ball for 25+ years — these are the factors that enabled me to find this detailed depth of knowledge.
What I would say to anyone not yet ready to drill deepest — at the very least learn to locomote Head Over Foot Coiling the Core, which is actually more natural than being a blocky “stiff spine in neutral” guy.
Systemic Balance is (and should be) the fundamental standard to build athletic capacity upon.
So it is important to understand and acknowledge the “anti-rotation” foundation (the most important “core-stability” training we were told for 20+ years) was a mistake. A false foundation. The very root of “anti-athletic” movement.
Because it was so pervasive, legions of trainers/coaches were/are prescribing that which provides no athletic advantage (strong argument it is athletic disadvantage) for decades.
Reality can bite. And accountability and change can be very hard to shoulder.
SIDE/SIDE/CENTER can be scaled for anyone. THIS LEVEL OF DEPTH isn’t essential for those not seeking 100% realization of athletic movement skill.
Have a look at Ben Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo & Barry Sanders in the slides IF you care to see the athletic precedent for the global pattern (Wing/Spring) that gifted athletes will “figure-out” naturally.
Because it is how the human structure operates/functions optimally.
If THIS is just too much for anyone right now (emotionally), buy the Power Vest which produces athletic advantage with Zero Learning or Understanding necessary.
I know that accepting the unique efficacy of the Power Vest can be difficult (emotionally) for the die-hard stiff-spine guys who hate the BOSU ball (because I created both)…
To them I’d say perhaps it’s time to look in the mirror. Do you see a man devoted solely to your athlete’s best interest? Or do you see a man more concerned/afraid about what your peers may think about you?
I’m not the enemy.
I’m just a guy who shares because I care — who is willing to stand on and with truth regardless what anyone thinks.
Clock, scale, measuring tape & points on the scoreboard. Judge, jury & executioner.
Learn to see past personalities and focus on the prize. YOUR ATHLETES BEST INTERESTS.
