When building a session, specifically a Workout that is mechanically-focused, follow these steps: Step 1: Is today a Workout or Work-InStep 2: Is it a Mechanical Session, Metabolic Session or Both?Step 3: Consider Activation, Mobility and Cardio for the Warm-Up and which 4Q quadrants are relevant/needed.Step 4: Consider Strength, Power and Cardio for the Outcome-based […]

Mechanical Benefits of Variability 13:31
Our tissues are highly adaptable, but compared to the nervous system, they take a long time for adaptations to occur. In our connective tissues (fascia), Davis’ Law states that our tissues remodel along lines of stress. Wolff’s Law states that our bone has a capacity to remodel along lines of stress. The mechanism behind these adaptive […]
Neurological Benefits of Variability 11:37
Part 1 Variability in a training program is important from a neurological perspective for many reasons Enhance Sensory Motor Integration Improve Motor Vocabulary which may lead to greater Motor Intelligence Enhance Neurogenesis and Synaptogenesis Simply put, our clients become more efficient and intelligent at moving. This is imperative for a culture that moves less often […]
4Q Cardio Examples 02:00
This topic demonstrates an example of classifying “Cardio” drills into the 4Q Neuromechanical Model. Due to the repetitive nature of cardio, it is recommended that cardiovascular training also be 4Q’d to promote a more sustainable cardio program. […]
4Q Examples 02:26
This video explores exercises within all 4 quadrants. For exercises you typically select, where do they fit in the 4Q? […]
Horizontal Continuum 02:12
The Horizontal Continuum explores our movement directionality. To determine movement directionality, we look at the Core (Spine and Pelvis) and examine where it travels, if at all. Linear Training: Exercises that are Sagittal-based from a Core (Spine and Pelvis) perspective. The Core will typically be in neutral alignment and stay static while the limbs move. […]
Vertical Continuum
The 4Q is composed of 2 continuums. The Vertical Continuum explores Loaded and Unloaded Training. Load-based Training: exercise that involves moving or carrying an external mass that provides an adequate amount of force for the body to adapt to. Dumbbells, Barbells, Selectorized Machines, Resistance Bands, Medicine Balls and other free weights are typically used in […]
