Dead Strength
Dead Strength is defined as the ability to produce high levels of muscular force with minimal contribution from elastic tissues (fascia, skin, ligaments, tendons).

Deadstarts are a type of Dead Strength that demand the necessary force output to overcome resting inertia.

Deadlifts are defined as overcoming a mass’ resting inertia and moving the mass vertically (against gravity).

Deadshifts are defined as overcoming a mass’ resting inertia and moving the mass primarily through gravity (perpendicular to gravity).

Ground-to-Standing techniques involve overcoming one’s own resting inertia from various on-ground to standing postures.

G2S
G2S or Ground to Standing is a fundamental movement task that must be sustained for successful aging and has performance benefits for many athletes.
A few benefits of including G2S in a Strength program include:
• Mobility
• Dead Strength
• Blood Pressure Management
• Circulation

Warding Patterns
Warding Patterns: the physiological state of generating body wide tension (stability) against an external force while maintaining the capacity to move. To our clients, we might describe most warding patterns as omnidirectional, vertical core training.
Benefits include:
– enhancing regional stability and strength against omnidirectional force
– improving neuromyofascial sensitivty (which is a fancy way of saying improving our reactivity)
– increase neuromuscular activation
– improving core strength and stability in many positions
