A kettlebell swing isn’t an arm exercise.

Before I ever load someone with a kettlebell, I teach a hard-style plank.
Because if you can’t stack ribs over pelvis without a weight, the swing will find it—and usually your back pays the price.

At the top of a proper swing you should feel:
• glutes locked
• abs braced
• ribs down
• spine tall — not extended

Think: top of a deadlift, not a lean-back.

Quick swing breakdown:
– Bell starts about 2 feet in front of you
– Feet slightly wider than the bell
– Hinge back, hike it high between the legs
– Let the bell float up — don’t lift it
– As it drops to about belly-button height, snap the hips and repeat

No squatting.
No arm lifting.
No low-back arching.

It took me years to dial this in.
That’s why when someone comes to me in pain from kettlebell work, I don’t just watch their swing —
I check their plank first.

How did I do? My neck looks funky? 🤣🤣🤣 sorry about that 🫣🫣🫣🫣

on a personal note, it took me about five years to get a solid kettlebell swing and all due to the help of

Strong swing.
Strong stack.
Strong 💪🏽

Elbow pain isn’t the problem. It’s the signal.

In this video, you’ll see how I approach tennis elbow + bicep irritation differently 👇

1️⃣ I assess movement + pain patterns (not just where it hurts)
2️⃣ I test and treat the tissue to see what actually needs work
3️⃣ I finish with neuromuscular re-education so the body stops recreating the pain

Pain relief is temporary if you don’t understand why it showed up in the first place.
My job isn’t just to calm symptoms—it’s to teach your body a better strategy so the pain doesn’t keep coming back.

If elbow pain keeps lingering despite rest, stretching, or random exercises…
it’s time to look upstream.

Neck tightness? Back pain? It’s not always about the muscles—it’s about how you breathe and stabilize.
🌬 Proper diaphragmatic breathing = relaxed shoulders & stronger core.
🛡 Bracing with a 360° breath keeps you stable under load (no more back tweaks!).
🧠 The rehab process retrains your brain and body to move the way they were designed!

Most people don’t realize how much their breath and posture affect pain.
❌ Breathing only in your chest creates tension.
❌ Open-scissor posture puts stress on your spine.
✅ When we restore diaphragmatic breathing and stack your posture, everything works better—from digestion to stability.

💨 Breathe better, move better, live better.

Your body isn’t just a collection of parts—it’s an integrated system. That’s why I assess the whole body instead of just chasing symptoms. Using advanced methods like , , and
I uncover the root cause of dysfunction and restore natural movement. 🚀

🚨 PAIN ≠ PROGRESS 🚨
Too many lifters are working through pain thinking it’s “normal.”
The truth? Pain is a signal.
It’s your body asking for a form check, a movement check, or a tissue reset.
Here’s what I do when clients tell me they’re hurting:
👉 I watch how they move.
👉 I break it down: press, pull, deadlift — whatever’s triggering it.
👉 We fix what’s wrong at the source.
Stop guessing. Start understanding.

Did you know that intentional breathing can actually change your body?

Not just how you feel—but how you heal.

Here’s what I see all the time in my practice:
When people are stuck in stress mode (sympathetic overdrive), their tissues stay guarded. That means more pain, tightness, and restricted movement.
🧠💥
But when you regulate your nervous system—especially through intentional breathing—you shift into a state where the body can finally let go and heal.

Here’s the trick 👉🏼 extend your exhale.
Even better? Add a straw, a kazoo, a balloon… or my favorite tool:
(Link in bio if you want one!)

Pair that with DNS resets (like the 6-month & twist) and other drills I prescribe, and suddenly your breath is re-training your brain to move better.

This isn’t just breathing—it’s a reset for your nervous system, movement patterns, and mindset.
All so you can feel strong again… and get back to doing the things you love pain-free.

Do you need help with quality sleep?
Sleep is a big part of healing and getting quality sleep can help with that.

Dm me if you me or comment the word SLEEP
if you need more help.

3 tips :

1. Red light helps with sleep by supporting the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Unlike blue or white light, which can suppress melatonin and disrupt circadian rhythms, red light has a calming effect and does not interfere with the body’s natural sleep processes. Its longer wavelengths and low intensity create a soothing environment, making it an ideal light source for nighttime use. This promotes relaxation, helps you fall asleep more easily, and improves overall sleep quality.

2. Sleeping with an eye mask and in a cold room enhances sleep quality by optimizing the body’s natural processes for rest.
• Eye Mask: Blocks out light, even small amounts of ambient light, which can disrupt melatonin production and the sleep-wake cycle. This promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by creating complete darkness.

3. Cold Room: A cooler environment aligns with the body’s natural drop in core temperature during sleep, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It also encourages deeper sleep stages, such as slow-wave and REM sleep, which are crucial for recovery and memory consolidation.

Together, these factors create an ideal environment for restorative and uninterrupted sleep.
