💡 You can’t just do the movement. You have to own the movement—at every level.

In Ep. 47 of #KIMEcast, Russ breaks down the science behind why gene expression isn’t just about your DNA—it’s about showing your body the positions, patterns, and speeds it needs to be ready for.

✅ Collagen needs to feel stress
✅ Mitochondria need reps to build endurance
✅ The nervous system needs exposure to coordinate safely

When athletes consistently express the movement—whether that’s through long holds or fast, reactive reps—the body builds capacity at every layer:

Energy systems

Connective tissue tolerance

Nervous system coordination

⚡ That’s how you create durable, high-performing bodies.

💥 Tears don’t happen because you moved fast. They happen because your tissue wasn’t ready.

In Ep. 47 of #KIMEcast, Tony & Russ break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of athletic movement:

✅ Muscles and tendons are built to stretch, store, and release energy fast—like a bow and arrow
✅ It’s not just about holding positions statically—it’s about training tissues to tolerate and react under speed
✅ The CNS is smart—it won’t let you access shapes you can’t control safely
✅ Poor tolerance in long positions = awkward shapes, strains, and injuries

💡 Lesson for coaches & clinicians:
Train for the demands of the movement.
Train the tissues in the positions and speeds they’ll actually face.

🎙️ Movement is a skill. Limiting factors are the blockers.

In KIMEcast Ep. 47, Tony & Russ break down the performance blueprint for the human body—and why understanding shapes, limiting factors, and the nervous system’s “governor” is the key to unlocking better movement, fewer injuries, and smarter programming.

💡 Key takeaways:
✅ You can’t build power on dysfunction
✅ Sprinting is a shape game first, power game second
✅ Joint health is daily hygiene, not a once-in-a-while fix
✅ The best coaches diagnose LIMITERS, not just deficits

Whether you’re coaching athletes or rehabbing them, this episode will change how you assess, program, and coach movement.
