Assessing the movement quality and limitations or restrictions in mobility, stability and strength establishes what should be addressed in the program.
While the initial assessment is important to the starting parameters of a program design it would be inefficient to conduct the initial assessment at the beginning of every session. This is where a dynamic assessment in the session can hold...

(and why your stick figure squat is wrong)
You know all those stick figure images on the internet that try to break down the “essential biomechanics of a squat”, or any other exercise? Have you ever noticed that the people so interested in educating you on the importance of the biomechanical advantages of their stick figure squat positions seem to strangely resemble the stick figures they draw? Put simply, the stick figure “biomechanics” model is wrong.
There are no biomechanics to a two-dimensional image, it’s just mechanics (also known as basic physics)...

This is especially pertinent to many budding coaches getting started in the fitness space that are being confronted with the sheer landslide of information about training for the first time.
Much of coaching and more specifically, effective programming, revolves around optimizing training. “How can I make this exercise more effective?” “How can I make this workout split better?” “How can I get this client to perform this exercise so they can achieve their goals faster?” As coaches progress through their intellectual journey, they may realize that more often than not, many kinds of optimization rest at the top of the tree: there are...
