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. 

 

Limitless Fitness: Load vs Resistance

Another topic that falls within the realm of positions patterns and performance is the concept of load versus resistance.

Now, what do I mean? Something that is considered load is an external weight, something, some sort of piece of equipment or natural thing out there in the world like a rock or a boulder. Right. a bale of hay that is considered a load, it’s something that you are loading your body with, you’re holding it externally is creating more pressure internally in the core, but also amongst compression of the joints, right? It could also be something like this weakest.

What that typically does over time is compressed the joints. Now if I were to do a pull up with this weight vest on technically, that’s a decompression exercise. So that’s a little nuance, but this is still an external load the other option is resistance. Right? So resistance is coming from, whoa, make sure you attach a resistance band and something that can really hold them steady. Alright, so resistance is something that’s creating resistance against your movement. pattern or with your movement pattern.

resistance usually mimics the muscles because we have these fibers, none of which really are straight and narrow, but all rotational in some sort or diagonal. And when the muscle gets longer, it’s at a higher chance of injury. Just like a rubber band, the longer it is, the more likely it is to snap. So when you use resistance, you are mimicking your muscles ability to withstand or adapt to a constant changing pressure and tension. So that’s why it’s important. Give me one more second to be able to understand when you do a resistance chest press and as I press further and further away, this actually becomes harder to push, because it’s getting longer. All right.

There’s a lot to be learned through understanding if you are training with load, or you are training with resistance, and there’s a lot of years to be saved on your joints. If you train a little bit more with resistance, or just add a little bit more resistance in to your training. Not always using iron and heavy things. To do all your resistance we mean that that creates that bone density, avoids osteoporosis, all of those things, but it’s really beneficial for your joints. And your muscles to understand their intention with resistance training. So make sure to add it in. If you have more questions, let me know what you think.

You have organic dried mango got from Costco or Amazon you can order it. Trader Joe’s Turkish organic dried figs absolute best! I don’t even tell people to bother with anything else,  and Organic Freshman Jewel Dates.

These are my favorite. I eat three of these three every single morning after I take my Isotonix Daily Essentials or Anti-aging Multivitamin packet if you know, so I highly recommend if you’re someone who craves sweet things you need treats, switch over to dried fruits just make sure that they don’t have any added oils or sugars. They are clean coated there’s nothing added to them. Always just turn the bag around read the ingredients real quick, and you’re good to go.
