How did I go from injured, broken and depressed to such a long career of success?
Check out the video below for my story.
“My dreams were shattered by pain & injury. But A new dream emerged! now I can help people the way i wish someone helped me.” —DCLIFF
the Pillars of DCliff Training:
We cannot outrun our biology with pills and technological gadgets (bandaids)
We have become depressed/unhealthy; terrible movers
We were perfectly designed to survive and thrive.
Everything is holistic → our body/performance is a big equation
Variables are nutrition, sleep, steps/movement patterns, stress, light exposure and more
Process is more psychological than anything else
Most dangerous enemy is the unknown unknown
Pain is psychological.
Movement = alignment x integration x timing
Injury = misalignment x compensation (overused, underused muscles/patterns)
The Shape is more important than the exercise; what you do is not as important as how you do it.
Treat every exercise as a meditation. Treat every rep like a new rep. Every breath as a chance to improve your life, energy and vitality.
GAIT Mechanics are top priority when it comes to training.
We did not evolve to squat heavy weight, we evolved to sprint, throw and fight.
If you keep adding weight in unnatural movements, not only will you get slower, you are also training your body to move against its design.
