Brian Aganad (00:00):
So one of the things I've really shied away
from over the past couple ofyears is just giving people
drills and exercises.
And I know that I get messages alot and emails from people that
say can you give drills and canyou give exercises?
And the reason I don't do thatis because if you're looking
(00:22):
for, Just more drills andexercises.
Like you can just go to YouTubeand you can type those things in
and you can find what you'relooking for.
And the opposite is that I findthat's the exact problem when
someone is having a problem withtheir training.
So one of the things that I seea lot like with clients, as
(00:43):
everybody knows, all the drillsand exercises, it's pretty
common knowledge.
But what's missing from theirtraining and what.
Quite frankly, stops them frommoving to the next level is that
there's no strategy, right?
Everybody has the, everybodyknows the drills and the
exercises and all of those typesof things, but they don't have a
(01:08):
strategy, like a unique strategyfor their body.
So the goal of this podcast,when I'm talking about
handstands and the body andmoving.
To give the high level overviewlike the high level, bigger
picture so that you can start toformulate a strategy, whether
I'm here talking about presshandstands.
(01:30):
Becoming a better yoga teacher,building a business, in the
online space that the key tosuccess and long-term success is
having a bigger overallstrategy.
So one of the things that I ask,like if someone is going to like
work with me in BodyBreakthrough, for example, is.
Instead of wanting to know likewhat kind of exercises and
(01:54):
drills are doing.
Cause that's what a lot ofpeople like to talk about first.
To say I'm doing this and thisand this and this and it's not
working and this kind of worksand this doesn't.
My big, my, my bigger questionto them is that's great, I know
that, but what is your strategy?
What is the strategy you'retaking for your body?
And that's the question thatthey have a hard time with.
(02:16):
And I see that more and more,which is everybody knows drills,
everybody knows exercises,everybody knows yoga poses,
sequences, all of these things.
But what they don't have is, Astrategy for their body.
And that's where everyone isdifferent.
And that's where it takes thetime and kind of dedication to
(02:37):
go through and formulate astrategy.
And that's really where youstart to, to create changes in
your practice and changes in.
How you develop is by developingan overall big picture strategy.
So that's one of the things wedo a lot.
Like in the last show I talkedabout, how we build movement
patterns and how to createdifferent types of movement
(02:58):
patterns with people, but alsoin context, there's an overall
strategy that has to take place,right?
There's a bigger picture thathas to go on, and I find that.
clients have a very clearunderstanding of what the goals
are, what it is they're workingon.
They then have, they can thenapply specific exercises that
(03:22):
they need in order to addressthe strategy as long as they fit
into the overall strategy.
So that's how you get progresswhich is, do I have an overall
strategy?
and then can I do specificthings that fit that overall
strategy so that I can improve?
And so then you've got a thenyou've got like a big
overarching target that you'retrying to reach.
(03:43):
And then it gives you someclarity on training, so that way
you're just not going and tryingrandom things or doing random
things and, hoping it works out,right?
And that's the thing like, Ifyou're a yoga practitioner, lots
of you guys listening are yogapractitioners obviously.
And yoga classes are great to goto and they're fun, but a lot of
(04:04):
the time they don't yield theresults you're looking for
because they don't fit theoverall strategy of your
training, right?
Like for example, if you'rehaving a problem.
stabilizing in your handstandbecause let's say your lap
muscles aren't supporting yourbody correctly and your shoulder
girdles collapsing, right?
If that's one of the points inyour strategy that you are, that
(04:28):
you're working on yoga classesaren't gonna do that, right?
That's one of the.
That's one of the main issues isthat yoga classes are pushing
dominated movements and there'svery few things in there that
train the pulling musclesnecessary to stabilize and
handstands.
So you can see how you can bedoing that for a long time, but
(04:50):
it doesn't fit the overallstrategy of what's going on.
So then, it doesn't yield inprogress.
So like on.
on today's show, the topic ismobility, right?
Because this is another one thatcauses issues F for people and
may cause issues for you, isthat a large part of being able
to move your body and being ableto press to handstand is having
(05:13):
mobility, right?
You have to have the mobility tobe able to lift your hips over
the shoulders.
You have to have some mobilityin your hamstrings.
There's a lot of different areaswhere having that helps.
but the issue is having a hardtime building it, or even more
so doing quote unquote, it's whyI started with this to begin
(05:35):
with, is doing quote unquotedrills for mobility or drills to
help increase your flexibilityso that you can move through
space more efficiently.
But nothing.
Or maybe it happens for a shortperiod of time, but there's
nothing substantial that allowsthat mobility to be permanent,
right?
It's like temporary ortransitory mobility that comes
up and then goes away, comes alittle bit and goes away.
(05:57):
Or maybe you're one of thosethat has to do a ton of stre,
like you have to stretch forlike hours and hours.
Then you feel like you've got alittle something in there.
So you've made a littleprogress, but here's.
right?
Which is lots of lots of mytraining with clients these days
is let's take an overallstrategy and then let's build
(06:18):
movement patterns around thatstrategy and then create
exercise.
There's like a flow chart to howthings go, right?
The top level of strategy.
The second level is movementpatterns, and then the third
level is things, exercises,drills, T.
That address old movementpatterns and formulate new ones,
right?
So how can we then do things toget through that?
(06:40):
So everything is very systematicand with mobility, where lots of
people go wrong is understandingwhy lack of mobility happens to
begin with.
And this is going back anddigging and taking another, like
a slightly deeper approach here,which is okay, humans by nature
(07:01):
are.
naturally immobile creatures,right?
We don't, we aren't, weshouldn't have a hard time
bending over.
We shouldn't have a hard time,straightening our legs or our
arms shouldn't be overly tight,like evolutionarily speaking.
That would just be spelleddanger to us, right?
Like the great thing about thehuman body is it's complex and
(07:21):
it's meant to do a lot ofactions movements, right?
We're meant to like climb trees,swim, jump, flip, you name it.
That's what we are, right?
Like we come from monkeys.
And if you look at how mobilemonkeys are when they're
swinging through trees, vines,all sorts of things.
Like when I was one time I wasin India, and it's amazing to
(07:42):
watch the monkeys just jump fromlike the rooftop to rooftop and
they jump through windows andthey grab things.
That's fundamentally, that's theway we're designed, but we've
lost a lot of that and we'velost a lot of that mobility
because we have what are calledmodern day movement patterns
that turn our body, thattransform our body from being
(08:06):
naturally mobile and fluid.
To being, to more like stiff andcompact, right?
Like we don't have, we move asmore robotic in our movements.
And for example, like sitting isa big problem.
Sitting is one of those thingswhere if you sit at an office
job all day guess what?
Your body develops a pattern ofhaving core muscles not engaged
(08:30):
all day long.
Like you don't really engageyour core muscles when you sit
in.
right?
And your body just develops thispattern of moving, sitting,
being still without engaging thecore, so it becomes weak.
And then you have other thingsthat tighten up as a result of
the core not working correctly.
Now you've got other musclesaround it that are working, that
(08:50):
are having to work overtime tostabilize your body.
And so you get tight, right?
These are called like modern daymovement patterns.
You have, we, we do things inour life that tighten us.
And MO and mobility is afunction of movement patterns,
right?
If we're doing something overand over again, we will, our
(09:11):
body will transform intowhatever it is we're doing.
And again, our brain doesn'tsin.
Whether something is good or badfor us, it just does it right.
It starts to create a patternbased around what we do over and
over again.
For example, I used to playbaseball.
I used to pitch, so I used tothrow, right?
If you throw with one arm overand over again, yes, it becomes
a pattern.
But what happens is a byproductof throwing a ball, your
(09:36):
shoulder gets tight.
Your arm gets tight, right?
And you don't even have to be aregular baseball player throwing
a ball.
If you just.
You'll go out, for example,maybe you go out like on a
weekend and you're on the grassand you're, throwing a football
around with your friends or withyour kids or something.
Your arm is tight the next day,right?
It's not that, it's not that,hey, it's a pattern yet, but
what you're doing is alreadyhaving an effect on your body.
(10:00):
So if you do that long term,that creates the mobility
issues.
So then the same thing comes upis that if you.
Are constantly throwing a ball,but you were stretching your
shoulders.
Yeah, you would feel somerelief, but your shoulder is
never really fully going to openup or be fluid or as mobile as
(10:21):
the opposite shoulder on yourbody, for example, because
you're doing something every daythat obstructs its ability to
stay mobile, right?
It becomes tight as a result ofthat.
And throwing a ball is just anobvious example, but sitting has
the same effect on your.
everything else.
And that's why I have a standingdesk, by the way.
But patterns that we do createtension and it's, and we can't
(10:43):
outstretch faulty patterns, wecan't outstretch patterns that
tighten ourselves up.
It just doesn't happen.
We can't do that.
It's just, it's very similar,like stretching in patterns are
very similar to exercise andnutrition, right?
Like it's the people who thinkthat I can out exercise a bad.
Breaking news.
You can't like eat pizza, icecream, chips, soda all day and
(11:08):
then tell yourself I'm justgonna do a really hard workout
that's gonna solve the problem.
You're still gonna get fat.
You can't out exercise, baddiet, and you can't outstretch
faulty movement patterns.
It's the same fundamental thing.
So shifting that andunderstanding that the bottom
line.
For creating mobility is again,addressing patterns.
(11:30):
Everything really comes down toaddressing patterns in your body
and how they work and how theymove.
And that's why you can build alot of mobility actually,
without even stretching.
With just correcting the faultymovement patterns and doing
things that are beneficial foryour body and help to open it
up, right?
Like the sitting example is areally good one.
(11:51):
If you sat at a job for years,You can you'll develop this
pattern of, using your body,moving your body without
engaging your core because it'sdisengaged all day long.
And if you stop doing that andyou start, say, focusing on the
core and when I say the core,the tv a, the transverse
(12:12):
abdominous, I have tons of.
content on that.
If you're not familiar, I'm nottalking about the abs or the
obliques or those kind ofthings.
I'm talking specifically aboutthe tva.
I used the word core and TVAinterchangeably, even though the
core technically encompasses allthose large stabilizing muscles
on your torso.
But if you do that, you'llchange, you'll start to develop
(12:33):
mobility as a result of the newpattern that you're creating.
And so oftentimes the secret, soto building.
Kind of lasting mobility iscorrecting the patterns
underneath and then addingstretching later on.
And you'll see that a lot, likeif you're doing things that are
tightening your body knowinglyor unknowingly, it's really hard
(12:56):
to outstretch those things.
And the misconception withmobility is if I just do a
little bit of stretching every.
then that will solve all theproblems in my body and all I
can get away with all the thingsI'm doing right?
But it's, again, it's verysimilar.
You count, you can't outexercise a bad diet and you
can't outstretch faulty movementpatterns.
(13:17):
So you have to take those thingsinto consideration when you're
trying to piece together a plan.
But the reality is that's themyth.
The reality is that when yourbody has healthy patterns, and
you're able to create thesepatterns that support mobility.
(13:39):
Now, you don't have to stretchall the time to be mobile.
In fact, it takes very littlestretching.
It takes, you can buildsubstantial amounts of mobility
in, five, maybe not fiveminutes, but 10 minutes to 20
minutes per day of stretching.
You can make a lot of progressin that.
You can make tons of progress.
in fact in that.
And that's why sometimes too,you can give people, you can
(14:02):
give two different people thesame stretches.
One builds a ton of mobilityfrom it and the other one
doesn't at all.
Like you can give two people thesame hamstring stretches.
It's highly beneficial for one,but not the other.
Comes down to those patterns,and it comes down to all of
those other pieces in thebackground that come into play
there.
So it's important to think aboutall those things and mobility is
(14:24):
that.
Mobility is very, it's driven byit's pat.
It's a pattern dependent thingthat you don't develop it unless
you correct those underlyingpatterns around it.
So they're all just things tothink about and they're all just
things to keep in mind whenyou're trying to piece together
what you're doing.
And then.
(14:46):
to my original point is in yourtraining is developing a top
level strategy like you shouldunderstand at any given time.
That's the problem is that,again, most people know the
drills, but they have nostrategy and the top level
strategy is such a key componentin your practice, which is like
(15:06):
practicing with the purpose.
I know that sounds cliche.
Designing your training andpracticing with the purpose is
how you get results.
That's how you change your body,but it requires that level of
understanding in order to makethat happen.
So that's all I've got for youon today's show.
If this was beneficial for you,please do.
(15:28):
Tag me on Instagram and share itin the story.
Let me know.
I'll drop you a comment and ifyou have a question or
something, just let me know whatthat is and please do take some
time to share this with someonewho, would benefit from this.
Or, another yoga practitioner,someone working on their press
handstand.
That could benefit from hearingthese things.
All right, so all my socialmedia, my Instagram is in the
show notes below, whatever.
(15:48):
Wherever you're listening tothis podcast, you can just click
below or maybe next to it.
If you're on a desktop, you'llsee all the links there.
You can find that.
And then if you are interestedin adjoining body breakthrough,
the link, the links are also inthe show notes.
You can find those.
There's some more training andthings you have to watch in
order to qualify for that, butthat's all in the show notes.
All right, so have a good restof your day and I'll talk to
(16:09):
you.
So one of the things I've really shied away
from over the past couple ofyears is just giving people
drills and exercises.
And I know that I get messages alot and emails from people that
say can you give drills and canyou give exercises?
And the reason I don't do thatis because if you're looking
(00:22):
for, Just more drills andexercises.
Like you can just go to YouTubeand you can type those things in

And the opposite is that I findthat's the exact problem when
someone is having a problem withtheir training.
So one of the things that I seea lot like with clients, as
(00:43):
everybody knows, all the drillsand exercises, it's pretty

But what's missing from theirtraining and what.
Quite frankly, stops them frommoving to the next level is that

Everybody has the, everybodyknows the drills and the

handstands and the body andmoving.
To give the high level overviewlike the high level, bigger

I'm here talking about presshandstands.
(01:30):
Becoming a better yoga teacher,building a business, in the

So one of the things that I ask,like if someone is going to like

Cause that's what a lot ofpeople like to talk about first.

My big, my, my bigger questionto them is that's great, I know

How you develop is by developingan overall big picture strategy.
So that's one of the things wedo a lot.

So that's how you get progresswhich is, do I have an overall

And so then you've got a thenyou've got like a big

core and when I say the core,the tv a, the transverse
(12:12):
abdominous, I have tons of.
content on that.
If you're not familiar, I'm nottalking about the abs or the
obliques or those kind ofthings.
I'm talking specifically aboutthe tva.
I used the word core and TVAinterchangeably, even though the
core technically encompasses allthose large stabilizing muscles
on your torso.
But if you do that, you'llchange, you'll start to develop
(12:33):
mobility as a result of the newpattern that you're creating.
And so oftentimes the secret, soto building.
Kind of lasting mobility iscorrecting the patterns
underneath and then addingstretching later on.
And you'll see that a lot, likeif you're doing things that are
tightening your body knowinglyor unknowingly, it's really hard
(12:56):
to outstretch those things.
And the misconception withmobility is if I just do a
little bit of stretching every.
then that will solve all theproblems in my body and all I
can get away with all the thingsI'm doing right?
But it's, again, it's verysimilar.
You count, you can't outexercise a bad diet and you
can't outstretch faulty movementpatterns.
(13:17):
So you have to take those thingsinto consideration when you're
trying to piece together a plan.
But the reality is that's themyth.
The reality is that when yourbody has healthy patterns, and
you're able to create thesepatterns that support mobility.
(13:39):
Now, you don't have to stretchall the time to be mobile.
In fact, it takes very littlestretching.
It takes, you can buildsubstantial amounts of mobility
in, five, maybe not fiveminutes, but 10 minutes to 20
minutes per day of stretching.
You can make a lot of progressin that.
You can make tons of progress.
in fact in that.
And that's why sometimes too,you can give people, you can
(14:02):
give two different people thesame stretches.
One builds a ton of mobilityfrom it and the other one
doesn't at all.
Like you can give two people thesame hamstring stretches.
It's highly beneficial for one,but not the other.
Comes down to those patterns,and it comes down to all of
those other pieces in thebackground that come into play
there.
So it's important to think aboutall those things and mobility is
(14:24):
that.
Mobility is very, it's driven byit's pat.
It's a pattern dependent thingthat you don't develop it unless
you correct those underlyingpatterns around it.
So they're all just things tothink about and they're all just
things to keep in mind whenyou're trying to piece together
what you're doing.
And then.
(14:46):
to my original point is in yourtraining is developing a top
level strategy like you shouldunderstand at any given time.
That's the problem is that,again, most people know the
drills, but they have nostrategy and the top level
strategy is such a key componentin your practice, which is like
(15:06):
practicing with the purpose.
I know that sounds cliche.
Designing your training andpracticing with the purpose is
how you get results.
That's how you change your body,but it requires that level of
understanding in order to makethat happen.
So that's all I've got for youon today's show.
If this was beneficial for you,please do.
(15:28):
Tag me on Instagram and share itin the story.
Let me know.
I'll drop you a comment and ifyou have a question or
something, just let me know whatthat is and please do take some
time to share this with someonewho, would benefit from this.
Or, another yoga practitioner,someone working on their press
handstand.
That could benefit from hearingthese things.
All right, so all my socialmedia, my Instagram is in the
show notes below, whatever.
(15:48):
Wherever you're listening tothis podcast, you can just click
below or maybe next to it.
If you're on a desktop, you'llsee all the links there.
You can find that.
And then if you are interestedin adjoining body breakthrough,
the link, the links are also inthe show notes.
You can find those.
There's some more training andthings you have to watch in
order to qualify for that, butthat's all in the show notes.
All right, so have a good restof your day and I'll talk to
(16:09):
you.
