Hey Gang! This week we discussed how to assess the movement of our skull and how it can impact the rest of our body. @Sonia Berglund discussed her progress with her ankle and strategies to help her progress forward. I love discussions like this and I'm excited to have more of them all of you who have joined the 5 Day Movement Restoration Challenge next week! For those of you who haven't yet but are interested in joining- go to the pinned post and comment I'm in and we will get you registered!

Over the last two weeks, we broke down the 3D Pelvis Assessment and the 3D Ribcage Assessment — and you got to feel how each one affects your mobility, strength, and overall movement control. Tonight, we’re putting it all together. ⚙️ Topic: The Anatomy of Breakdown: How Your Movement Patterns Create Recurring Injuries Time: 6–7pm EST What We’re Covering • How the pelvis + ribcage + skull work together 🧩 • Why isolating drills never fix the real problem • The missing “integration layer” PT and DIY skip • How pattern correction reduces pain + future injuries • Simple ways to feel the difference immediately 🔍 This is the session where everything clicks. Why It Matters If you feel: • recurring injuries ♻️ • random flare-ups ⚠️ • stiffness that keeps returning• strong but unstable 💪 • “older than you should feel” …it’s almost always a pattern problem, not an age problem. Tonight, you’ll finally see why. 👀 Next Week: The 5-Day Movement Reset Challenge Dec 8–12 • 6–7pm ESTVIP Coaching (7–8pm) starts next week only. 🔑 Register by commenting “I’m in” ⬇️or DM Jerry for the link. 📩

Hey Forge Fam! Hey Forge Fam, quick recap from last night’s Restoration Lab Q&A! We covered three big topics that I think will help a lot of you make faster progress: 1. The DIY Myth We broke down why DIY programming actually slows you down, costs more over time, and leaves most people frustrated and stuck in the same injury cycle.There’s a reason the “figure it out on my own” path rarely works & why a structured, proven system always wins. 2. The Upcoming 5-Day Challenge (Starts 12/8/25) Slight delay on the date, thanks for your patience. @Jerry Rivera & I have been deep in the weeds this past week learning everything we need to run a high-impact, high-result challenge for you. More details coming soon, but this is going to be powerful. 3. The RBLD 3D Ribcage Assessment We walked through how the ribcage connects to: - pelvic control - shoulder function - cervical mechanics …and why understanding this chain is critical if you want real, lasting injury resolution and performance gains. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the States and for those of you out of the States hope your Thursday is amazing!

@Shawn Kitzman I have a late afternoon appointment and may not be back in time for today’s Forge Q&A. Send me the recording! Thank you 😊

If you missed last night's Restoration Lab, all the fun @Sonia Berglund , @Karel Johnson & I had! You also missed me talking about the Turkey I had on the grill as the ladies and I were chatting (It’s not just the Shawn Cooking Show, I promise!) 🧠 The Structural Connection We pulled back the curtain on the fundamental connection that derails most movement programs: • The Foot-Pelvis Link: We looked at the critical way your pelvis moves and how that movement is directly controlled and interconnected with your foot. If one is stuck, the other compensates, leading straight to your nagging injuries. This is the diagnostic lens that makes the RBLD OOS so effective. 🔬 Cartilage & Longevity We had a deep discussion about modifications for clients dealing with cartilage degeneration. The traditional advice is often "rest." We challenged that: • We discussed how the appropriate amount of stress and friction can actually be a benefit to cartilage health, rather than a detriment. • I'm including the WebMD link I referenced below, which supports this strategic approach to longevity. https://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/features/knee-pain-walk 🚀 Your Next Step: Put the Principles into Action! There was much more covered, including specific programming insights, but you'll have to watch the replay to get the rest!
