Strength is not just about how much you can lift or how many push-ups you can do. It’s how well you can manage your own body weight through numerous positions in different ways and different directions.
Are you as strong at the bottom of a squat as you are at the top?
Can you balance on your hands?
Can you articulate each part of your spine?
Can you hang and pull your feet to the bar without bending your knees?
Can you push-up all the way from the floor?
Can you crawl or perform a back bend?
Many of our ailments or discomforts and much of our weight gain comes from lack of a relevant movement practice—spending too much time on certain parts of the body while ignoring others.
