One key point that you need to know for training strength

True strength is found in a circle!

The shape that you can or cannot create with your body tells a story!

When we evaluate athletes we call it "Arches vs Angles."

Arches are circular and transfer power.

Angles are linear and leak power.

When you're designing exercise or evaluating movement, think about the shape that is being created.

What is it telling you?

When training, circles and figure 8's are more novel than linear movements and they activate more mechanoreceptors.

That means they are more interesting to your brain!

Linear strength is limited.

Circular strength is infinite!
