Raw Transcript: He Went From 6.3 meters to 7 meters Long Jump in 3 weeks! | Hyperarch Fascia Training

[Music] I had the experience of playing division one football and track and field and I was very committed to the weight room. I would be very strong by the end of like a few years of that training. Like I would be able to clean hand clean 330 lb. I was squatting like 500 pounds with chains. I could really do really big numbers in the gym. But when it came to football, I just never had enough linear speed. And when I started running track afterwards, I was a long jumper. I would be as strong as uh ever in the weight room, but I would be long jumping basically poor marks, like 6.3 m um like 20 ft. So just through seeing HFT on social media, I was like yeah, I understood how it would work and I understood that there was something wrong with the mainstream approach to becoming athletic. So after um just coming to that decision that I truly wanted to improve, at the start of my 12-week journey, I had a lot of knots. I was very tight in the hip region, um, glutes, right? So, my first assessment with the towel curls, it was like all calves, um, and the foot. So, my calf would just be on fire with all the blood flow. So, I wasn't having any propagation forwards past past the the knees really. And um, that's another thing too, like in the gym, I was always very quad dominant. So, you know, muscularly my quads would be super big, but out of proportion to the rest of the posterior chain and through time, through adhering to the diet, which the important part of that is making sure that you give yourself a few hours to digest before sleep. Yes, >> that's when the fascia will remodel itself through that and just the continued work, the workouts, the towel curls and the meditations and the breathing is really the most important part because to me that's the moment when you I get to familiarize myself with the new neurological pathways that are being formed from the glutes to the feet. And so becoming familiar with that feeling, I'll be laying on the ground at night and I'll bring that feeling up and then I'll feel the glutes turn on just by focusing on the feet. And then I'll even feel like little twitches going on in the glutes, in the hamstrings, uh the toes. >> And so >> that's neutral that's neurogenesis. >> Exactly. So, I'm aware my body is kind of shutting down, but I'm there to observe my body basically fixing itself up and remodeling the fascia, >> right? >> So, three quickly, so three weeks later, you measure your height, your lung jump again, and what was that number? >> Right. So, I got quick improvements. We were jumping off the box at practice and I was hitting seven meters consistently. So that was a mark that I had been going for for like a year, but I never truly got close to it. Um, >> so this is after dropping the weights and we did our work without weights, just mind to body and breathing. We were able to get to seven in three. >> That's true. Because I told my my coach on the track team that I think it was time for me to scale back my weights and I was doing super light, super light. Um, and my long co my long jump co coach was even there to tell me like something is different. Like I can push up like I was just able to push and actually lift my center of mass into the air. Whereas before it would just kind of crash because I mean yeah I can I can squat two and a half times my body weight but I can't that's not enough to lift myself off the ground while I'm running running full speed. So the fascia coming into play was able to improve me very significantly in the long jump which is a very elastic very reactive movement basically right off the bat. Um and besides from that my my season ended so I stopped competing about halfway through the program but to this point I can tell my posture is way better. My breathing is a lot better as in I can take full breaths. um which stands the body up uh straight straight posture I feel just certain things are very effortless just like walking even feels effortless it's just like being pushed um right now I'm playing football so the biggest thing I've noticed with football is um I I play receiver and when I release off the line it's like making my hips go left to right is just very very effortless. Like when my feet hit the ground, it's like my hips or my center of mass will immediately react. Whereas before I used to struggle releasing off the line because I felt super heavy trying to push. It's like I was trying to squat the ground away from me. So I could just feel >> Yeah. muscle driven movement. So my ankles were weak and I was using my quads to try to shift my weight. But the thing about being a receiver is you have to be very sudden and very explosive and muscle driven movement just doesn't cut it um at that level at the division one level. So that is the that's the biggest difference in football. And also just my speed is very effortless like it's just like very bounding like very it feels like I'm being pushed in a way. So yeah, basically my movement has just upgraded tremendously. Like >> we're going to measure them. I mean, we haven't had the chance because we just finished our session, but we're going to measure those, >> you know, including 100 meters and and your 40 dash numbers. Mhm. >> So in terms of the the messaging like when you were looking at our social media education content like what made sense to you in terms of our message like what struck out to you like that a particular one that made the most sense to you? I would definitely say the fact that mainstream theory about training athleticism just isn't isn't correct. Um because I had a firsthand experience of putting everything into it and not getting my results actually began to decline. So I knew that resonated with me. Um, and also when you just talk about common sense, like if you look at these animals, like you look at a gazelle, like their legs are like sticks. And so it can't be the muscles or and I could tell that it was the fascia because um the the third thing that really made it lock in to make sense to me was saying how the fascia is a holistic structure because I know that the body is always operates in a holistic and natural manner. So, >> got it. >> Really, there's so many things like how training HFT training, it's not necessarily very difficult. Like, it takes a commitment and it takes consistency, but it's not the effort level isn't extremely high. It just takes a lot of concentration and consistency and awareness. But so that seems more natural to me too because training for hours and hours every single day with superhuman amounts of of effort. It's like that doesn't seem like that should be the only way to improve and just all those things being holistic and natural in the approach. That's how I knew that HFT really was something I wanted to commit to. >> Right? So training hard doesn't mean training smart, >> right? So there's there's missing piece and you know the mainstream they don't want to talk about it. Um >> very good. So what about the elevated towel curls? What do you feel now after the program? >> I did towel curls today and it was all it was basically all glutes. Um, I couldn't have imagined what the feeling feels like when I first started, but it literally is like my glute is what I'm using to contract my toes in the exercise. So, it doesn't really feel like you're using your foot to move your toes. It feels like you're using the glute. Uh, which is very interesting. And >> Right. And the propagation of the energy just runs smoothly through the calf, through the hamstring, through the knees. It just doesn't get caught up anywhere. So, it just goes straight to the glute where where it belongs. And and yeah, the sensation is just at the maximum level like so my glute it takes a lot longer for the glute to become fatigued, but you know, after five minutes, it's it's kind of getting there. So I would say I'm really amazed by that just because I couldn't have even imagined what that would be like but >> right so so this is >> yeah so this is something I talk about a lot which is like consciousness level like once you're conscious of this you you you look at the people who say yeah the fascia doesn't work doesn't improve anything you just know that they're they're on a lower consciousness level because they never felt it right >> yeah that's true It's like we're not on the same dimension like you are already this is already you already found the continent and then people still say yeah that that you know America continent doesn't exist right so it's quite like that but you know we're okay with it because this is you know sports is competition right there there's only very limited amount of people at the top of the pyramid so we're okay with [Music]
