Inner Circle 16 - Your Shoulder Counts Everything Jul 3, 2026 00:04:57 Most people think load management is simply about choosing the right weight in the gym.But after coaching injured lifters for more than twenty years, Rad and I have found that's only part of the picture.Recently, someone working through our free Coaching In Your Inbox series emailed us to say his shoulder was feeling much better. He'd even increased the weights on some of his rehab exercis
Inner Circle 15 - Progress Was Never Meant To Be Linear Jun 22, 2026 00:07:12 Most people assume that if they're doing the right rehab exercises, progress should look like a straight line.A little better every week.Less pain.More strength.More confidence.But after coaching injured lifters for more than twenty years, Rad and I have learned that recovery rarely works that way.Some weeks you feel unstoppable.Then your shoulder flares up.The clicking returns.Your confidence
Inner Circle 14 - The Biggest Misunderstanding About Surgery Jun 15, 2026 00:08:30 Most people think the hard part is deciding whether or not to have surgery.But after coaching injured lifters for more than twenty years, Rad and I have found that's often not the hard part at all.The hard part comes afterwards.When you've done the physical therapy.You've had the surgery.You've gone through the recovery.And yet your shoulder, knee, back, or hip still doesn't fe

Inner Circle 13 - What Grace's Recovery Teaches Us Jun 1, 2026 00:06:39 On March 1st, 2025, one of our online coaching members suffered a SLAP tear in her shoulder.Seven months later, she was standing on the podium at the Central American Championships with three medals around her neck.Most people hear a story like that and assume it's about rehab.But it isn't.It's about something much bigger.In this episode, I break down why Gracie's recovery story re
Inner Circle 12: Training In The Presence Of Injury May 25, 2026 00:04:43 Here's what that looks like ...The very first Monday of January, I started the year about as badly as you can.I’d finished the previous year pressing 75kg for 5×5 behind the neck.I’d had a couple of weeks away from heavy training.I came back thinking I’d be sensible and regress to 65kg.But I rushed.I was impatient.Hungover from New Year’s Eve.I ignored how my shoulder was feeling.And I paid fo
Inner Circle 11 - Why MRI Results Can Mislead Lifters May 18, 2026 00:02:42 The Difference Between Damage And DysfunctionA viewer commented on our SLAP tear rehab video asking whether the program would also work for other shoulder injuries besides a SLAP tear.And honestly, that question gets right to the heart of how we approach rehabilitation.Because in many cases…yes.The principles still apply.Most people assume that if a shoulder has structural damage, the only real so

Inner Circle: Are Dips & BTH Press Too Risky? May 4, 2026 00:05:35 Although important, mobility isn't always the first priority inside UMS.Stability is often the first step towards a healthy joint, or a successful injury rehab. Especially when rehabbing the shoulder joint after something like a rotator cuff, labrum, or SLAP tear.Here's an example of where this can be a big issue that heavily impacts how Rad and I prescribe exercises for our clients.Last w
Why Strength & Flexibility Integration Works Better Apr 27, 2026 00:04:08 Rad and I were looking at a program from one of our Inner Circle subscribers — Dan, 36, from South Wales, UK.To be honest, this was one of the best programs we’ve reviewed in a long time.For the first time, we saw a clear focus on structural balance. That’s extremely rare at this stage.But there was one problem.He was trying to fit too much into a 60–70-minute session.And the biggest inefficiency?
Why Structural Balance Becomes Critical Apr 22, 2026 00:04:13 In my last episode, I shared why I felt let down by the new ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training (2026).Not because it was wrong.But because it didn’t really help people like you (and me).Today, I want to show you what it completely missed.And why this matters far more than the program you follow.
