Craziest Hybrid Feat
Just curious, what’s the craziest “Hybrid” feat you’ve seen/heard of? We’re seeing a lot of cool strength/endurance feats but I’m curious of any other ones y'all might be coming across.

@Chaz Corbett I’ve been using Brooks Adrenaline 22 which is listed in PRI recommended shoes list. Those are actually helping me tons during strength workouts, but not so much during longish runs.

@Chaz Corbett Thanks for the detailed reply, my man! I’ll surely give orthotics a try. I’m aware that there isn’t any “cure” for bunions. Just trying to manage the discomfort and preventing it from getting worse over time.
Angus + Kassem
@Angus Bradley - In a parallel world, would you want to smash tin with Kassem and pick his brains on all things hypertrophy? 😂

When you consider the importance of IAP in Squats, Olifts… Is core training still useless?
@Angus and anyone interested: what’s your take on IAP (Intra Abdominal Pressure)? I’ve heard Angus say don’t do core training, train the core muscles through their range and function (back extensions, toes to bar, side flexion and torsion) But that won’t necessarily help you improve your ability to maintain IAP during your sets. As much as McGill is old school and hated these days, I think his point that core endurance is more important than core strength is very relevant in the context of maintaining IAP during a whole workout, whether it be SBD, Olifts, or even bodybuilding. Here a little experiment: do a “core brace” as your read this. Now touch your obliques, are they contracted? For me and many others, they are NOT! it requires to shift the focus away from the transverse abdominis (the muscle you THINK you should contract to “brace”), and only then can one have the obliques fully contracted. Yes, I and most of my clients can think we’re bracing while ACTUALLY having obliques relaxed. Therefore, I’m inclined to think that core training still has its place. What are your thoughts on this ? Looking forward to some good counter arguments or validation if you agree

The best techique that has worked for me is exhaling slowly to the point that I can start feeling my obliques, and then inhaling and holding that position as much as I can. Exhaling puts your ribcage in a good position as well (as per PRI fam)

@Sasha Orwell From my limited understanding of PRI, I don't think it's BS. People have always been shitting on things they don't fully understand. It's always been like that. One of my good friends is into PRI, and works with Shawn Astorga from AMP Rehab. They daily work with people in chronic pain and have been getting amazing result. People also like to think of PRI as just a rehab model but coaches like Rua Gilna, Pat Davidson, Ryan L'Ecuyer and others have cracked it for performance athletes as well. Like with anything else, the beauty is in the detail. The details that go in applying the principles properly, not by bastardising something (that you don't understand) on IG for mere engagement, it seems.
