Zab Cummings (‘26 TX) has been all over the barrel today as he sends this ball to the gap for another double. Good rhythm in the box with impact off the barrel here. #NATLSelect @PG_Uncommitted

My man!!!!! Lets gooooo! We can pick who has the gavel and @catchinbarrels can state his case against the other… But they should not be a problem. This should be something they are interested in. Let’s see! Pic on the mic or DM now on IG or X.
“Who’s pitching?” 🎤 Who’s going to pick up the mic and answer the question? But first…. Read below before putting in any 2cents of stupid to save yourself humiliation and get this industry firing on all cylinders without you holding us back. Cover the book as you will… I’m investing in Greg because he’s the best baseball mind I’ve ever met (by miles). I’m referring specifically to his rational and results. Rationality directs INTENT. You cannot say something stupid to me, never - not once, about movement or movement training or I can never trust your judgement without questions - you failed the foxhole test - I won’t be ever asking you for answers ever again. You don’t get to teach math if you’ve ever insisted 1+1=1. The accuracy/effectiveness of INTENT you bestow to another human being to optimize results is all you’re worth as a coach. Worth a lot less when stubbornly stiff. But fully redeemable. Nifty tricks (without fullest integration and concomitant dysfunction) leads to sub-functional inefficiency branded as “be all end all” with envy laden invisible ignorance clouding the view. And the peer review!!!! “Why the function” are you instructing with incorrect intent taught to you by peer review? I’m playing “bully” now with INTENT to help and ultimately bring everyone together. No one will fight me in the center of the playground as training relates to gait. You guys must establish alpha ideas honestly and how ironic is it that I am alpha in the ideas department on the subject of locomotion. Not sorry to say. Annoyed you’ve been so mean and willfully ignorant so long. Think about it historically - sticks & stones times - The capacity to move efficiently is more important than water and food if you don’t have any water and food… and you need it… but it’s not so easy to get (stiff & alive = stiff & dead back when). The preposterous non-sense prescribing Pallof presses to upset and decrease movement efficiency and noise up the nervous neural engrams that would have had your ancestors dead and gone before they had time to give an opportunity you mr science expert. It was once a “deadly sin” for real, on a day to day basis, to move all stiff. Baseball - the hate in the baseball training industry is unbearably disgusting. So before spewing any hate saying something stupid do this… Challenge Greg to “Hold Court in the Cages”. We can get hall of fame talent - bring anyone and the better they are the better - buy even a kid just shooting for college as path to better life - and decide if we get to see you hold court in the cage before or after Greg. Don’t matter if you go first or second I’m going to thoroughly enjoy witnessing it & asking questions myself. So don’t be a dick or a bitch saying stupid things on social you aren’t will to back up in person mr tough guy. Show up and teach on the spot and let’s see who knows what, and what depth. We watch. We scrutinize. We JUDGE who knows what and how valuable it is. So any baseball belligerent who wants to come get schooled - don’t blow hard here… be a Man of Honor and let’s see your work compared to Greg’s in real time holding court in the cages 😮. Diamond Discussion is the arena where we can crush hate and deliver Diamonds (when the haters are shamed into not hating) and redeem themselves contributing as much as they can. Or go the less pressure way altogether and teach Physical Integrity FIRST like the BOSU Guy, and those honest and intelligently aligned, so generously teaching and sharing fundamental physical education to weed out weakness to make man KIND again. #EveryStepStronger

Who said what, when, where, and why!?!? @catchinbarrels @moveandmeasure @TheDavidWeck My new baseball podcast which I’m also hosting “Diamond Discussions” @ddbaseballtalk is coming out hot! Many : 1. Baseball friends of mine, MLB, MiLB, Collegiate, Scouts, etc 2. Internet gurus and trolls like Frye Dick on social 3. Baseball coaches at all levels. 4. And more - have simply put their foot in their mouth and chose a side while flipping time after time. It’s time for my to speak my peace. My little Ol’ two cents. I’ve been patiently waiting for the time and I feel like it’s now. I simply ask questions like “who’s pitching” after one of their rants about a certain swing that is recorded from the hitters open side. They don’t know. They also don’t know how many outs or where the runners are so I will just follow up with another question like how many outs? Are we home or away? I cannot wait for my Diamond Discussions podcast @ddbaseballtalk to get moving forward. We will be addressing these things in a positive educational way to grow the game of baseball. Of course my mentor and the greatest biomechanist on the planet @TheDavidWeck was asked to be the first guest. We are recording this week and will post an official drop date sooner than later! @JoeyBats19 @Diesel_Optimize are you interested when the schedules line up!?!? Tune in!!!! #diamonddiscussions #baseball #podcast #hitting #pitching #biomechics #moveandmeasure – at Houston, TX

Team Japan is in the Lab. Including one’s of the countries most storied performance coaches and the number one CrossFit Japan athlete/coach. “Nordic Deadlift” is a good exercise to know and do.

My body knows the mathematics of movement. Because I’ve programmed it so. Organized and fully integrated with the cardinal & inter-cardinal directions. Figure 8’s up down all around in the center of 8 divisions - “45’s” your athletic movement skills with the ultimate foundation of fight / flight response ability. Fun workout to stay fit in and beyond your 50’s. I’m 54. Hybrid Rope is so easy to work hard. Just the way I like it. High intensity that feels really good after. #EveryStepStronger

Fundamentals. Freeze & Squeeze yourself Stiff to immobilize your spine in neutral as Foundation is peer review’s solution… That which fires together wires together. You peer review with your “science” uproot and riddle the system (brain/body) with restriction. Tension shoots up your spine - deer in headlights neural engrams - is the dysfunction you peer review foist upon the industry. Practice makes permanent. Don’t build strength on dysfunction. DO NO HARM. Man up already you super-stiff-specialists. Who’s going to make the first move (way late in the game and everyday you don’t come clean is another day of insidious damage you don’t decrease the odds of success. Man’s increase the chance of injury (non-contact fiasco). Do the right thing & stop being cowards.

If you were to bend the spine of a pig - removed from the pig’s body - back and forth over and over… what hypothesis are you seeking to address? Standing up (alive) and driving movement with your Spinal Engine is wrong because why mr. PhD science guys? 19 soccer players - 10 of whom lift weights on dyna-disk air cushions and voila, suddenly “BOSU Balls suck” and business for peer review never gets better. 💰Gatekeepers of career advancement. Follow the money. Problem is - the whole thing is so absurd too many are terrified to think lest they realize the time/money/conviction they’ve paid was fundamentally opposite of True. “As the golfer’s spine passes through neutral at ball contact”… Really? How can the world’s leading spine/core expert say this? And zero scrutiny from those who invoke his name to police the internet and foist the bs on others? Meanies. Bullies. You are weakening humanity peer review - and those mindlessly brainwashed defending the Science of “core-up-shin”. Peer review you are undermining the necessary human qualities (balance & sustainable strength) that is destroying confidence and trust - allowing evil to prey upon the minds of otherwise good people. Stop being cowards. Step in the Ring to defeat non-sense or get out of our way. #EveryStepStronger

Toronto Blue Jays are in town playing the Padres. Wait for the lesson. Bowden Francis knows because he trains at @Diesel_Optimize If you know, you’re a better you at the things you like to do. If you deny - you’re clients pay the price of suboptimization because their trainer doesn’t teach balanced locomotion as the foundation. Do you relentlessly pursue better? Or do you ridicule and deny Weck when he says #HeadOverFoot is balanced locomotion? Or can you teach us better? Go. Why not build strength on true foundation? I thought we weren’t supposed to build strength on dysfunction. @Challenger_ST let’s chat brother. #TrueJersey doesn’t cower away from Truth. #WhatIfWeckIsRight #HeSureIs #EveryStepStronger for everyone.

I’m not big, strong or fast compared to the Big, Strong & Fast men who outclass me in these departments. But I am unique in that my work is fundamental to all human beings who want to get STRONGER, FASTER & MORE ATHLETIC. Who’s in my corner? The BEST of the BEST of the BEST. Including the LEGEND Marty Gallagher. “The Iron Monk” as he is known. What I teach with unprecedented exacting precision is how to optimize the Internal Balance of every molecule of your mass. So you can better achieve anything you want. Size…. Not my area of expertise — but my work will fundamentally support you in this department by giving you the capacity to manage greater pressure and focus INTENT to maximum advantage. @SquatUniversity Marty Gallagher does not know who you are. First question he asks is “what are his credentials?” And he is not asking what certifications you have. Please elaborate your accomplishments in the comments — and repost with your explanation as well. (If it’s not too troubling to do so). And “The Iron Monk” does KNOW who your mentor is… and I KNOW what he thinks about his work. Do we still have to stop telling people that BOSU balls are NOT good for core stability? #RespectReal #EverySquatStronger

“WeckMethodization” Side/Side/Center is STRONGER. @ErodingWeakness is the best coach I’ve ever met (so I made him Director of WeckMethod Programming). CCT/RMT/BTT. it’s a different lexicon, because it’s a different approach to Movement training. Why? Because faster is faster, stronger is stronger, more joy, and less pain is a better way to live your life. How many Paloff presses did you prescribe in your last workout ? How many times did you tell the people you train not to bend their spine that you had to keep it super stiff straight in neutral otherwise it’s not safe and it’s not powerful? Know Choice is No Choice – and it is economic forces, and the free market that will force you to change and do the right thing. #EveryStepStronger for everyone.

I was elated when @kneesovertoesg went on the @joerogan podcast. Not one ounce of envy or jealousy or hate. Because I am successful and my success grows more and more successful everyday. It’s not a zero sum game. But you wouldn’t know that seeing how much hate is directed at Ben from Peer Review certified Freezers & Squeezers. Ben simply does his amazing work and strategically avoids the negativity. Whereas I fight back. In the trenches (having been hated with even greater vitriol for the past 17 years). And just one Ben Patrick is worth more than every certified hater on this planet for human beings seeking Truth and who simply want to experience more joy and less pain. After the pain of humiliation - these super stiff spine certified bullies will redeem themselves (know choice) and Ben’s work will be studied and scientifically validated with honest science. These guys are good people underneath who just needed some “tough love” to toughen up and overcome the fear and loathing foist upon them by this cruel world and its bully culture. Thank you Ben for being such an amazing colleague and friend. The ULTIMATE SCIENCE is Faster is FASTER. #FutureLooksBright #EveryStepStronger for everyone. Slide 2 for empirical improvement — faster is faster — and Ben Patrick is FASTER #PoweredbyWeckMethod Can’t wait to see this video on YouTube!!!!!! LFG!!!!
