SYSTEMATIC APPROACH
ADD SCIENCE TO THE WAY YOU TRAIN.
The human body is a dynamic machine. Embracing the variations in our physiology creates workouts that lead to positive outcomes and results.
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO END UP?
If you're just getting back into training or training for the first time. If you want to break out of a plateau or if you're returning from an injury. If you're dealing with pain or looking for an inspiring gym experience. We have developed a personalized plan and system that utilizes classical training methodologies that build over time to deliver results.
A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO STRENGTH TRAINING.
We look at what you need to do on a daily basis to be successful. Notice that language: What. You. Need. To. Do. King Strength and Performance is no bullshit, we are about your goals, your timeline and your physical journey.
QUALITIES WE FOCUS ON:
TISSUE QUALITY - Our workouts help improve the quality of tissue through self-myofascial release. We'll use foam roll, trigger point release through tennis or lacrosse ball, and vibration to allow tissue to move properly and send afferent info to the brain, and restricted or painful areas to create more muscle awareness.
MOBILITY - CARs aka Controlled Articular Rotations take each joint through the entire range of motion it's capable of on a given day. This puts a micro focus on what the body is doing before we go macro, because we need to articulate each joint through as complete a range of motion as possible. This translates to more functional movements. Without it, you're setting yourself up for diminished performance or worse potential injury.
MOVEMENT & PILLAR WORK - Pillar work controls the ribs relative to the pelvis. When you perform more compound functional movements, understanding that the "core" transmits force from the lower body to the upper body is crucial. Why does it matter? Because activating your ribs-pelvis in a controlled setting leads to being able to do more complex movements later.
AWARENESS & CORRECTIVE EXERCISE - Corrective exercise changes parameters, and allows for movements to eventually correct themselves organically. This facilitates higher performance in the gym. Learning movements in an unloaded situation, as well as trying to re-organize the movements to make a more reflexive response is anyone's best shot at become better.
NEURAL DRIVE - Essentially, we want to increase the capacity of the nervous system to move efficiently, and with the potential for increased output, whether that's speed, power or force production. We want to become more efficient and effective at what we do.
CAPACITY - The ability for the body to utilize and create energy efficiently and optimally. The heart of capacity is tied to how to be more efficient and when to use energy effectively.
ENERGY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (ESD) - The body creates energy two ways: without oxygen (anaerobic) or with oxygen (aerobic). Then there’s the further classification of how the body uses energy substrates: anaerobic alactic uses ATP (adenosinetriphosphate) and PCR (phosphocreatine); anaerobic lactic uses glycogen; and aerobic uses fats and proteins. Still with us? Good. This is important, and the next paragraph will tell you why. We can classify each energy system as "Power," meaning all effort for that designated time, or capacity of repeat efforts. Timelines are: anaerobic alactic (1-15 seconds); lactic (30-60 seconds); aerobic (2 minutes +). Now, here’s a key point: high intensity interval training (HITT) is being overused. It’s probably considered anaerobic lactic in nature. There’s research that shorts the short term positive effects of HITT, but over the long term, it creates massively diminishing returns. That’s why a combination of anaerobic alactic, used in conjunction with aerobic, makes for a more robust cardiovascular system, which translates to much better health
THE CHEMISTRY OF OUR TEAM-LIKE SETTING - Here’s the premise: we have a huge open system here. Our members come from dozens of backgrounds. So do our trainers. Every day is different. There’s no way to predict who is going to be here or when. And that’s the fun, because we’re all working our way through the system together, but on our own terms. We’re pushing. Challenging. Changing. We’re looking over at someone else who’s getting after it, and we dig deeper into ourselves to do the same.
