In this video Brandon demonstrates a single leg 33lb sandbag sagittal plane dead lift while of course rhythmically symmetrically with lower volumes of inhalation and exhalations, breathing in and out through the nose. The soft plyo box coupled with his poor choice of foot wear creates a higher neural demand which creates fascial adaptations throughout his muscular system. The variance of the foot places greater force through the ankle knee & hip joints while incorporating all his fascial lines head to toe. We need to bring up his dead lift strength to match his quad strength. The hip/quad strength relationship should be 1 to 1 otherwise patterning will result leading to reduced force transmission that can come back in the future as an injury which is always tissue dysfunction. I have always taught him that if you can’t do a single leg pistol or dead lift then you have no business ever compressing & putting weight on your spine until you can do it with your own bodyweight... #beastmode #singlelegdeadlift #softplyobox #sandbag #sandbagtraining #manboy #bambam #fascia #strength #nasalbreathingisbest #nitricoxide #quantumfitnessorg (at Santa Barbara, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSd7j1BQbc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=166sy36kzgirv

Not the best video but here Brandon demonstrates a pistol squat with a 70lb kb... His strength is seriously on view here but let’s put the emphasis on his fascial pliability & adaptability. The fact that he wakes up his proprioceptors with #dynamicfascialmovements prior to his workout affords his joints & transfer of force throughout his fascial system to release muscle inhibition while increasing muscular activation prior to handling loads that create stress THROUGHOUT the body not by focusing strength solely on the glutes & quads....Muscles are dumb. All they do is contract & release and the driving force behind that mechanism is the surrounding fascial tissue...which is what matters most. To my chagrin his footwear is terrible. The gym won’t let him go barefoot and I don’t know why he doesn’t have flat shoes on. To make this exercise even more remarkable is the fact that he’s doing it on a soft plyo box with an elevated heel. During the exercise you’ll notice he’s breathing through his nose and at the end of the exercise he recovers strictly with nasal breathing. He is performing a specific breathing technique while doing the exercise. #pistolsquats #beastmode #manboy #softplyobox #kettlebellworkout #bambam (at Santa Barbara, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSbd6Jh-GJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qe2jic8udywb
