After training for decades and competing at the highest level of the sport of CrossFit, I was used to feeling banged up and broken. Pushing intensity came with a price – so after I retired from competition, I turned my sole focus to helping others build visible muscle, enjoy training more, and still feel athletic.
But even as a lifelong student of fitness, there is always more to uncover. And when I found the work of Ben Patrick (aka Kneesovertoesguy) and started experimenting with it in training, I was blown away. My ankles, knees, hamstrings, and hips felt better than ever. Which translated to better squats, wall balls, box jumps, Olympic lifts, or whatever I wanted to throw at my body.
Ben and I struck up a friendship, and with his blessing I began mixing some of his methods into my Persist training subscription, with great results. Just like the thousands of participants of Ben’s ATG programs, our athletes were also feeling strong, stable, and springy.
