If you missed Tuesday’s Restoration Lab, the replay is now up. We covered the full roadmap from: Pain → Capacity → Confidence → Athletic Identity Key takeaway: You don’t lose capability because of age. You lose it without structured progression. We broke down:• Why “reset” isn’t enough• Why progression matters more than intensity• The phases of long-term rebuilding• How to reduce recurring flare-ups Watch the replay below. After you do, comment: 1. Which phase you’re currently in 2. One activity you want to confidently return to This isn’t about going back in time. It's about rebuilding the right way.

🎥 Restoration Lab Replay: Strategy Over Sweat This week’s Restoration Lab tackled a hard truth for disciplined people over 40: Working harder is often what’s keeping you stuck. When progress stalls, most people respond with: - More volume - More intensity - More consistency Earlier in life, that worked, Now it often backfires. The key shift from the session: Your body adapts to the direction of stress — not just the amount. When patterns are off, effort doesn’t build capacity, It reinforces compensation, increases mechanical debt, and shortens the time between flare-ups. That’s why consistency alone stops working.Repeating the wrong inputs just makes the problem permanent — and disciplined people feel this first. We also reframed the real question: Not what to do or how hard to train —but what stress your body is actually ready to adapt to right now. This wasn’t about sweating more. It was about knowing when effort helps — and when it hurts. 👇 Watch the replay above Next, we’ll break down how intelligent sequencing — not harder training — rebuilds strength, resilience, and confidence after 40.

Last week, we broke down why the injury cycle keeps repeating and why pain is a lagging indicator. This week, we’re digging into the next layer: Why working harder often makes things worse after 40. Most of us respond to setbacks the same way: - Go harder - Think we are the problem - Go down endless rabbit holes searching for the "next thing" The problem? Effort w/out strategy leaves us spinning our wheels & leads to frustration. When patterns are off, hard work doesn’t rebuild capacity, it reinforces compensation.That’s why disciplined people often flare up faster than casual ones. This session isn’t about workouts or exercises.It's about learning when effort actually helps and when it hurts. If you’ve ever felt like: - Consistency stopped paying off - Training made you feel less resilient, not more - You’re one wrong move away from another setback This will click. 👇 Comment I'm in & we will see you tonight!

On Tuesday’s Restoration Lab, we broke down why disciplined folks like us keep ending up back in pain, Even when they’re doing “everything right.” Here’s the core idea: You rebuild momentum… Then a knee, back, or shoulder flares up. You rest. You feel better. You start again. Same cycle. Different body part. This isn’t laziness or aging. It’s using work ethic to solve a problem that requires strategy. Pain is a lagging indicator. By the time something hurts, stress has been accumulating for years. Your body compensates until it can’t — and that flare-up is the bill coming due. That’s why ice, stretching, and generic rehab only quiet the alarm.They never show you where the actual problem is. This isn’t about finding a better workout. It's about removing the anxiety of waiting for something to break. 👇 Watch the replay. Next week we’ll dive into why hard work alone often makes this worse & what Strategy Over Sweat really means.

@Shawn Kitzman -hey I’m not going to be able to make Q&A tonight. If you get a chance could you demo the Patrick Step Up? I was going to ask you tonight about it 😊. Thanks!
