4 Parts of Exercise: Understanding the Four Portions for Better Performance and Injury Prevention

Every exercise you've ever done is broken up into four portions. Those four portions are your starting position, your transitional pattern, your secondary position, and your secondary transitional pattern.

  1. Exercise portions breakdown
  2. Understanding exercise patterns
  3. Foundational body understanding
  4. Building exercise mastery
  5. Overcoming exercise plateaus
  6. Chronic injury prevention
  7. Exercise position isolation
  8. Concentric eccentric isometric
  9. Improving exercise performance
  10. Integrating exercise portions

And basically all I’ve been trying to tell you with all of these three p’s and three eyes videos, concentric eccentric isometric, is that you need to build foundational understanding of your body and the movements that you’re trying to get better at and master.

Break them down into the positions into the patterns, understand what you’re isolating, how you can focus on a position, or maybe even a concentric pattern, and then understanding how you can isolate any of those portions of that movement and slowly build them up to create the entire piece. Getting that understanding will help you get better at every single movement in the gym.

It’ll help you understand how to move beyond the plateaus that you’re hitting. It’ll let you understand why you’ve been getting injured so much chronically because you haven’t taken time to slow down and break down what you’re doing in each and every exercise. So if you can take one thing away, just understand those four, break them down. Learn them get better at each one, and then piece it all together. that’s when you get to integrate. that’s when you’ll perform better for longer, lower your chances of injury and ultimately find your fit right. If anybody you know needs this information, tag on share of things fall in love you guys.
