@Andre Victorian Yes, I am motivated to get optimal results out of the trainings and not overdo. This has been a little tricky to gage for myself. After meeting with you at a seminar in 2023, I began doing Flex Theory for fighters 1. The first month or so was brutal, everything hurt, Strength stretching was a new concept for me, and it was a challenge for me to complete 3 trainings per week. Nevertheless, I persisted and the pain started to transform into a release that felt really good and empowering. I began doing Flex Theory for fighters 1 everyday, constantly cycling through the 18 sessions. For a while, I had very positive results. I felt faster, more explosive, and more mobile. Additionally, my lower back pain disappeared, and I was landing shots in sparring that I hadn't landed in years or ever before. However, I started to feel like I was overtraining my abductors. They began feeling week and exhausted, so I started backing off and doing the trainings every other day. This worked well for me. I am still mostly doing the fighter training every other day at most. I am enjoying experimenting with all of the other options and trying not to overdo. I will tell you that my hamstrings have never been better and I have no fear of pulling a muscle during explosive running or kicking.

@Andre Victorian The majority of my flex theory training has been focused on the fighter series. I feel that my hamstrings have benefited the greatest from this training. My biggest challenge that I continue to struggle with is pain and weakness in my adductor muscles on my right side. I feel discomfort and tightness even when sitting criss cross legs or butterfly position. When kicking, I mostly feel it on my plat leg while throwing a cut kick with my left leg. I believe the ETS training is helping a bit, but I am wondering what more I can do the help with healing and strengthening this area?

I train a various times depending on my schedule. I love training in the morning because it sets me up for feeling accomplished and motivated for the rest of the day. However, sometimes this is not an option, and I train in the afternoon or evening. Either way, I feel great every time I complete a training!

I have had 3 surgeries on my right knee. I definitely notice more tightness in MCL region of R knee during straddle sessions. Also, I can kneel while sitting on my feet, but after about 10 minutes, I really feel it and need to shake out the legs.

This was a great weekly wrap-up, and it spoke directly to my experience with this type of training. I was introduced to FlexTheory a couple of years ago during my preparation for the 2023 Asia Pacific Masters Games. Initially, the "do" part was difficult for me. The training exposed so many weaknesses and sometimes it really hurt. However, I made it through a threshold stage, the trainings started to feel really good, and I began to feel the release in my muscles and learned to embrace and chase the burn. I also began to experience real progress. I was so excited and motivated by the progress that I began to "overdo". I have since found that balance again. The skool concept has definitely been a blessing. I love the access to all the different types of body specific trainings. Continuing to turn weaknesses into strengths. I am thankful for this program🙏
