Is heavy resistance training really better for tendon adaptation, or is strength training being oversold as a way to “target” connective tissue? In this video, I break down what the research actually shows about tendon adaptation in response to resistance training and strength training. We look at whether tendons remodel differently with heavy vs light loads, what targeting connective tissue really means, and why many claims go beyond what the data can support. I walk through a large meta-a...

Is Functional Patterns Brainwashing People or Fixing Dysfunction?
Welcome back to the channel everyone. This week, we’re diving into Functional Patterns, the controversial training system founded by Naudi Aguilar that claims to “reprogram the body” through posture, gait, and biomechanics. I’ll break down what Functional Patterns actually is, how they compare to functional training, core workouts, myofascial release, and kettlebell training, and why some people are calling it a cult while others swear by its results. We’ll look at what the science says abo...
