A great way to open up that tight space between your ribcage and pelvis, targeting the QL, obliques, and lats. The lateral plane is one that tends to get ignored in a lot of training routines and incorporating this exercise into your warmups is a good way to get these areas waking up again! Spend a couple minutes on each side daily and see the improvements!

Everything becomes clearer once you take understand the true race you’re running. 🏃‍♀️

Get clear on your goals and what you really want

Make sure you’re not running someone else’s race

The steps you need to take will fall into place from there

If you’re looking for some help on what that might look like with strength training, jiu jitsu, injuries, and how those all fit together…WE CAN HELP!

Comment “RACE” below, we’d love to chat🙌🔥

🤔 What do our MOBILITY for BJJ sessions at Origin Immersion Camp actually look like?

✅They look like you on the mats.
✅They look like you actually finding more space in your hips and shoulders.
✅They look like you calming your nervous system between sessions.
✅They look like coaching, cueing, adjusting, and repping it out in real time.

These aren’t sit-in-the-back-and-take-notes kind of sessions 🙂‍↔️

You won’t just *learn* about mobility, stability, and strength to help your jiu jitsu body— you’ll actually go through the progressions with us.

If you’re hangin’ with us at Origin Immersion Camp this week, come find us in the Field House Tuesday and Thursday after lunch.🙌

If we won’t see you at camp, NO WORRIES! We teach mobility to jiu jitsu clients virtually from all of the country (and Canada!). Just shoot us a DM and we’ll hook you up.🔥

Who’s coming to camp??!!🤗🙌

30 Years! I graduated from PT school at UF on May 4, 1996. (Yes, I am old). A lot has changed in that time: when I graduated we used paper charts for all documentation, we had no cell phones or internet really, just looked stuff up in books.

Treatment and training methodologies have changed a lot in that time too and I am grateful to have so many years under my belt, continuing to train and get stronger, honing my clinical skills and finally being able to utilize them fully with our clients at Forge!

To show our gratitude to our awesome clientele, we would like to offer 30% off all of our initial visits for the month of May! Click on our info and give us a call to set up a time (that goes for in person and virtual clients).

How will you show up for yourself and those you love in the years to come?

26.3 is here... 🙌

And with burpees, cleans, and thrusters, your hips and thoracic spine better be ready 🔥

Before you attack the workout, spend a few minutes opening things up so you can actually get into the positions the movements demand.

Here’s a quick prep flow we like:

✅Banded front rack stretch → helps open the shoulders so you can keep those **elbows high in the bottom of the thruster** and maintain a strong front rack for cleans
✅World’s Greatest Stretch → opens up the hips and adds some thoracic rotation
✅Med ball thoracic extension in a deep squat → a great way to train ACTIVE thoracic mobility under a light load (much more transferable than just laying on a foam roller)
✅Step-back burpee ▶️ cobra ▶️ down dog → ties everything together by opening the hips, chest, and spine while getting your body warm

Remember:
Mobility isn’t just about stretching — it’s about owning the positions you need under load 😎

Take 5 minutes, prep the right areas, and give yourself the best chance to move well when the clock starts ⏱️

Good luck in 26.3 — we’ll be this week for FREE Injury Screens so stop by and say hi!

🤔What does a Performance PT-led shoulder course actually look like?

It looks like you on the floor.
It looks like you with a PVC pipe in your hands.
It looks like you sweating a little.
It looks like coaching, cueing, adjusting, and repping it out in real time.

This isn’t a sit-in-the-back-and-take-notes kind of course 🙂‍↔️

At our Shoulder Resilience Course, you won’t just *learn* about mobility, stability, and strength — you’ll actually go through the progressions with us. We’ll coach you through:

✅Proper overhead mechanics
✅Scapular control & stability drills
✅Strength progressions for pressing & pulling
✅The common faults we see in CrossFit + BJJ athletes
✅How to modify movements if your shoulder is already talking to you

You’ll leave knowing exactly what to work on — and how to do it correctly😎

If you’re in Gainesville and you want shoulders that can handle kipping, pressing, grappling, and high-volume training without constantly flaring up… this is for you🙌🔥

Spots are limited because we keep these hands-on and interactive.

Come ready to move. 💪

26.1 is here! …and it’s kinda brutal 😬😅

↗️ Ascending then descending ↘️
Wall balls.
Box jump-overs.
Med ball box step-overs.
12-minute cap.

Let’s be real — most normal humans aren’t finishing this one. And that’s okay. The goal isn’t to sprint to the redline in minute 2 and implode.

👉 Take **planned breaks** — just keep them SHORT.
👉 Be intentional with your breathing — **don’t hold your breath** at the bottom of wall balls or bracing on the box.
👉 Steady, Smooth, Stay alive 🥵

Here’s how to PRIME your body before you attack it:

🔓 **World’s Greatest Stretch** – open up the hips for deep squats + powerful jumps
🔥 **Banded Dead Bugs** – wake up those deep hip flexors that have to stabilize at the bottom of wall balls and the top of every box rep
💪 **Side Plank + Clamshell** – turn on lateral hip muscles so your knees don’t cave when fatigue hits
⚡ **Explosive Squat Jumps** – quick power primer so those first reps feel snappy, not sluggish

This workout will reward control, breathing, and smart pacing way more than reckless intensity.

See you and .star.fitness this weekend. Let’s get after it. 💥

❓ Do you have trouble with overhead lifts, kipping, or hanging movements?
❓ Does your shoulder feel stiff, unstable, or just “not right” during training?
❓ Does this sound familiar: you want help, but you’re not sure where to start?

This NEW course is for you! 🙌

⭐️ Forge Foundations: Shoulder Resilience ⭐️

…a 6-week, PT-led small-group rehab course designed to help you build stronger, more durable shoulders without stopping your training.

🗓 Starts Tuesday, March 17th
⏰ 8:15–9:00 AM
🔘Runs every Tuesday for 6 weeks
📍 Forge Performance Physical Therapy
3417 NW 97th BLVD, Gainesville, FL

Over 6 weeks, you’ll progress through:
Weeks 1–2: Mobility, banded work, and re-education
Weeks 3–4: Bodyweight and light resistance
Weeks 5–6: Controlled loading with DBs/KBs + dynamic movements

This is for you if:
✔️ You are participating in the Open and want resilient shoulders
✔️ You feel limited pressing, snatching, or hanging
✔️ You have tight shoulders while rolling in jiu jitsu
✔️ You’re returning from a shoulder injury
✔️ You want expert guidance but aren’t ready for 1-on-1 care

By the end, you’ll have:
🔥 Better mobility, strength, and control
🔥 More confidence overhead
🔥 A repeatable warm-up & accessory routine
🔥 Less stiffness, less pain, and more trust in your shoulders

This is a powerful bridge between rehab and training

Spots will be limited.
