Need help getting going with FP?

Just bought the ten week course. Great vid. I always injur myself at my peak of feeling and moving well, and yes, get complacent. Then bang!
I hope you enjoy the course! :-)
You are looking great Brendan, not only your Body but also your Energy ;)
Had a similar thing happen to me when I started FP with the 10 Week course and had trouble implementing FP to get a Routine going. Training by Intuition and analysing yourself is very different than just following a program. I got very complacent and my capacity to handle stress (Running, BJJ, Wrestling etc) decreased quite a bit over the last 2 Years. I have found that a mix of routine and play/exploration works best for myself and now I am able to slowly build up my capacity to train harder again with minimal / no pain.
Much Love 🍀
Thanks for sharing and commenting and that is awesome to hear! Keep going man.
Real,honest evidence based content. Using FP has helped me and continues to do so with my journey to better health.
Thanks Alison! Let's keep putting in the reps each week together! You've done so well so far! :-)
What were you doing for exercise prior to fp?
lol what evidence. where is this located on PubMed? any review of literature? id be ok with some case studies not directly from the fp website......
It is because FP only has 1 piece of the puzzle. FP does not address foot control and or pressure. They think that the FP movements themselves will simply correct someones weak feet - which is you had knee problems in that movement. What you need to do is combine GOATA and FP.
Never really considered GOATA - have you got experience with combining FP and GOATA?
Just walk
They both suck. Just do "movmed" or something more foundational. Forcing postural changes in the aggressive way they do will leave you injured down the line. Good posture should be an unconscious effort that comes as a result of a stable midline. Look into movmed. FP makes you neurotic and ocd - just look at Naudi. Does he seem like he handles stress well?
@@solomonk8621yeah I listened to naudi speak for about 3 mins and immediately realized something was wrong with this dude… he’s got good insights but nothing that hasn’t already been said…
Great video. Followed the ten week course, and just finished a course at a practitioner for 3 months. Before the last training at the practitioner, knee problems popped during a fieldhockey training. Coming week travelling to Berlin for the foundations course in Berlin. Good to see that checking the 10 week course again, helped you to solve your problems. I am going to do that also.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting! How did you find the Human Foundations course?
Great video, Brendan!
Thanks dude 🙌🏻
Hi Brendan! Happy for your progress.
I'm considering trying FP. Looking at the pictures at 12:25, what strikes me - besides your weight loss, as you said - is that your kyphotic curve looks the same. The horizontal distance from your spine to your rib cage (i.e. from your thorax to your sternum) has not decreased, but remained the same; the back of your neck hasn't gotten longer or straighter. That would be my main desired outcome from taking an FP course, and seeing your images dissuades me quite a bit. Do you know whether you have Scheuermann's disease / wedged vertebrae in your thorax? During your FP training, did you intentionally try to improve posture and reduce kyphosis? If yes, do you have any ideas why your kyphotic curve didn't visually improve?
Hey, thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch. Scheuermann's disease is a consideration, and was mentioned in my first session, but not been formally diagnosed. The biggest hurdle that I have faced in the past is being able to get any pec and tricep action in any movement. Bench press and push ups just used to fatigue my biceps. With FP there is a considerable development of the muscles around my shoulders and upper chest. I can feel better scapular positioning and pec and tricep engagement in movements that I am doing these days.
If anything the shape of the ribcage has changed but the curve hasn't gone away, I would argue in fact that the distance that you mention has increased. I don't see that as a bad thing at the moment... Nor do I believe that I will ever have a 'flat' T-spine. It has taken 34 years to form in that position, so if I thought that 3 years of FP would change it dramatically then I'd be smoking something. Equally, aside from the chronic pelvic pain and the kyphosis I have been addressing a large hip hike on my left hip and rib shift as well. Bearing that in mind, and when I am training, I am having to account for the fact that if I force too much thoracic extension I run the risk of causing pelvic floor issues.
In recent sessions I have managed to get a lot better in the extension of the T-Spine but I am not married to the idea of it changing too quickly. I am more focused on improving the muscular associations and development around my upper body. I believe if the ratio of muscle were to increase, then that development would help to shape the bones the way that they 'should' be. All practitioners and FP Doers will come to accept the idea that the progress is continuous rather than a destination.
I don't know if that helps to explain what you are seeing and your question?
Essentially, I have to be careful how quickly I force any adaptations. Will FP ultimately cure my back curve? I haven't a clue but it seems to be my best shot because of how much of a my life I have gotten back over the last 3 years.
You mention your desired outcome from FP being about posture improvement, if you want to ask questions face to face then I would suggest reaching out on IG and I can arrange a chat... (only if you are genuinely interested in more detail than this as typing responses loses a lot in translation.)
forward head posture is caused by a small mandible
if you wanna fix it get a jaw surgery
Hi thanks for making this video, I appreciate your humbleness when making this video. My question is if FP worked so well why is it you got an injury as soon as you started running again? Running should be quite a simple movement
This is a great and loaded question… I’ll probably have to make a video on this topic…
The way to think of it is that my body and my biological structure is having to undergo change through application of FP techniques to correct muscular imbalances and bone malformations.
My left adductors and rectus femora are incredibly dominant and I have a lot of lateral movement in my left knee.
On a biological level, even with FP, there is a limit on how much and how quickly I can change my dysfunctions.
Conscious behaviour programming for muscles takes time to develop into unconscious behaviours.
Equally I spend a lot of time on my feet as a practice owner.
The more conscious effort I put into applying FP the better I feel. That being said, the more I run and do other sports the more my body will still revert to old muscular programming.
My left hip, knee and femur are the way they are because of my golf swing and spiralling that way from the age of 4-37.
Pretty much every day for 30 years I have been involved in golf and sport.
That’s a long time for behaviours to form and will take a long time for them to change.
Hence with FP, it is advised that one takes out any other activity they do because of the unconscious programming of the body in that context.
Doing sport for me whilst doing FP is a little like emptying a sinking boat with a ladle or small bucket.
That being said, I have a daily mental battle between doing what I know is good for me and doing something fun that creates a hormonal response.
The real question is for me is, how much FP do I want to do each week to have my body free and capable enough to do what ever I want.
That will come in time and it’s really just up to me to test it…
I hope that makes sense 🙌🏻
Running is a simple movement is it ? Explain on a biomechanical level then
Hello Brendan, congratulations on your results and perseverance. Would you tell me what pulling cable machine you are using? Many thanks.
Hey! Thanks for tuning in and commenting. The pulley that I use is from a company called Norhd and they are supplied by Waterrower UK. I believe that there are loads of these models globally. It's the second most popular for FP. That being said the FP pulleys are the best! They are just so damn expensive to import.
do you have resistance band recommendations for at home training?
Hi - yes, please see this video: WHAT YOU NEED | Equipment List Functional Patterns 10 Week Online Course #functionalpatterns

Going against the fitness industrial must be one hella of a stress of a job i totally get why naudi is the way it is my god i cant imagine how overwhelming can be 😮
If you caught his live on instagram the other day he says that it used to frustrate him but now he just accepts that things will take time to change. As the results grow and more people become involved in FP I think the frustration will wane. I guess FP's new products this year will encourage more widespread use of their methods... So he seems to have turned a corner. Or maybe I just understand him better as I become more experienced as a practitioner.... Probably a bit of both.
@@rawmotionfitness im pumped for seeing those new products too! Heard they gonna make things so much more easier for the public, one thing is that FP is a tuff pill to swallow for most fitness normies lol they rather live in denial then accepting yoga and isolating exercises are destroying them and aging them faster, last live when he talked about people trying to achieve/simulate a parasympathetic state by meditating was fire 🔥 same with the mechanotransduction topic it just makes so much sense to me how everything is just falling in place. 🤯
@@gio7602 isolation exercises don’t age you faster. Working the body one body part at a time Is great as long as you do every part equally.
As well as compound movements mixed in weekly.
Not everyone who goes against the grain has to make a huge public deal out of it. Half of his live streams used to just be him complaining about how hard his life is. I get it, but it's not cool to constantly ask for sympathy from his followers while he runs his company like a cult leader.
What diet do you follow?
I don't follow any specific diet. I have done in the past with fasting, high protein and fat, fresh juices etc. These days I am just mindful of portion size and ensure that I eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and stay away from highly processed food. I have a food chart that I created to help with this. th-cam.com/video/jvYaNQBxxcc/w-d-xo.html I cover more in that video.
@@rawmotionfitness thank you!
Their advice, the specialist in particular, was simple advise because they don't get paid to monitor you and watch how you do exercises. However, the goal was to deload an acute injury while it heals with exercise, in particular a bike, that puts less stress on the knee through valgus and varus, keeping it within safe rom while providing you with some movement to keep the synovial fluid circulating and your cardiovascular system working appropriately. The physio wanted to get you stabilizing proximally to provide support distally. They're not conflicting advise, they'er looking at what can be done while an acute injury heals. If you continue to put valgus forces through your knee which would happen with rotatory movements, you're going to keep challenging the acute injury and prevent it from healing appropriately. Thats why they told you what they did. Common sense prescriptions.
So are you going to update the negative injury rate nonsense that is claimed by functional patterns?
Lol. I mean, I don't really have a say in how they make their assertions about that... And, if you listen to what I say in the video, it was a multi faceted injury. Also, if you made it to the end you'll know that my knee is fine now that I have gone back to the basics and worked at a slower pace more suited to me... So seems like I created the problem and their concepts helped solve it... again... ;-)
@@rawmotionfitness i watched to the end of the video.
Shocker that reduced training load/stress also does that.
Along with seeing other professionals and then not voicing any concerns over serious pathology.
I actually value a lot of the idea from.their method. But to think they have the magic bullet is nonsense. A wider array of people would be more keen to try if it wasn't so dogmatic and they don't use small amounts of information from people.that have dedicated their lives to certain aspects of science.
Naudi constantly mentions aspects on emfs, grounding, mitochondrial biology that he does not understand and rarely cites the shoulders he stands on.
Lol - You have missed the points I made in the video about my results. Not to mention that you are trying to incite a discussion on the politics of an organisation that I do not have any say in operating... I don't speak for Naudi so if you have beef with the way he operates then maybe you should try conversing on his feed.
@@rawmotionfitness no I have not. I am glad you have improved issues around pelvic pain/initial issues.
I have a problem with people feeling they are unable to critique something . Ex. You mention about how this has nothing to do with your trainer/the system.
If your example is used by the organisation as a testimonial. There is a duty of honesty to inform that developed an injury which warranted enough concern where you went to a physio and a knee specialist/doctor.
Especially when the company is maintaining a negative injury injury rate.
Then just use some.cop out like it was multi factorial. And it was every other facet but this one.
@@Camebyplaneit’s hard to take people seriously when their critique isn’t based on experience..kinda like sports fans who’ve never played sports. That’s the problem FP has with the industry…..as FP’s results continue to grow & get better with people of many conditions. And as for the industry? Garbage. No innovation or any measurable results to show for it. They alternate between peddling barbell squats, deadlifts, stretching, “mobility”..like how seasons change, but no results.
Amazing that you can rationalize how you got injured, that you need Physical Therapy for the injury, but saying "hey I wasn't ready for it maybe it was too complex, or something" and not recognize that this exact phenomenon is contributing factor to those who injure themselves in the gym doing conventional exercises; too complex, too high load...injuries happen. At least you acknowledge you were doing FP when you got injured though ;)
This is the most Gatekeeping shit I've ever seen. FP makes you good at FP that's it 😂.
What does ‘gatekeeping’ mean?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ didn’t stick with it man didn’t put in the hard work. Keep going 🤷♂️🤦♂️
FP practitioners: if you dedicate every waking moment to FP you might get some results (like our cherry picked before and after pics). If you haven't gotten results, there's something wrong with you, definitely not our perfect system. Maybe if you give all your money to FP, you'll see those results.
@@solomonk8621 30 mins day isn’t a lot to ask for. Just a little commitment. Not every waking minute lol. Can’t put a price tag on living a better lifestyle and being pain free
