Me: I think I’ll squat again tomorrow. My knees:

loll!!

In seriousness – I was just reading an article a guy wrote that did squats EVERY DAY for six weeks (!).

To sum it up:

  • The guy got way stronger in record time, and was finally able to squat 600 pounds
  • In the process, his hips got WAY tighter, his upper back was more sore than ever, his knees were sore to the touch, and he couldn’t sleep

For a tiny percentage of people chasing high performance goals, sometimes excelling at certain qualities – like gaining squat strength, fast – can come at the fully known expense of other problems.

For 99% of people like you and me who want to look and perform well, but also feel great and pain free at the same time, we need to listen closely to our bodies, pay attention to recovery, and ideally follow a program that is specifically designed for our goals.

Stay tuned, registration for our 28-day KB/BW Hybrid Strength Challenge (geared towards helping you get strong, lean, AND stay pain-free, all at the same time) opens later this week!
