The Ready State

“Built to Move” is HERE!?? Juliet Starrett and I are stoked to officially put this book out into the world and into your hands.?? We believe “Built to Move” will transform lives and society for the better. We will know it has succeeded when we see communities everywhere creating movement-rich environments, participating in group walks, celebrating good food choices, prioritizing sleep, and committing to MOVING.?? We could not have brought this into the world without the support of this amazing family of humans who push themselves day in day out, raise the bar, elevate everyone around them. Yes, I’m talking about YOU. Go grab a copy. Let us know what you think. Share with your community: https://lnkd.in/gm5G4zdj Love to you all K

Discomfort isn’t a setback—it’s the key to growth. ?? We’re throwing it back to an epic conversation with @steficohen, 25-time world record-holding powerlifter, professional boxer, and all-around force of nature. Stefi shares how embracing discomfort has shaped her journey—from playing for Venezuela’s National Team to breaking powerlifting records and now stepping into the boxing ring. She dives into the mindset shifts that helped her manage high-pressure commitments like PT school, elite competition, and running a business—all while pushing her limits in new ways. Her story is a powerful reminder that growth happens when we challenge ourselves—but discomfort ≠ pain. It’s about adaptability, resilience, and unlocking your full potential.

Turns out, your genes aren’t the sole boss of your longevity—you hold a high rank, too. Research continues to showcase that lifestyle habits have a way bigger impact on how long (and well) we live than our DNA does. ?? While genetics play a role, movement, strength, metabolic health, stress management, and community REALLY MATTER. That means we have a choice: coast along and hope for the best or actively stack the deck in our favor. You don’t need fancy biohacks or extreme routines. You need habits that actually move the needle—consistent training, mobility work, quality sleep, and nutrient-dense food. Small daily investments compound over time, creating a body that’s durable for life. Tilt the scale in your favor. Commit to the process. Are you in? At The Ready State, we’re all about building durable, capable bodies that last. Prioritize movement. Stay mobile. Play the long game. Your future self will thank you.

??? BREATHE ??? for better performance. Ever notice how your breath shifts depending on what you're doing? Whether squatting heavy or powering through a mobility drill, breathing under load requires a different strategy to keep your body stable and efficient. When standing, gravity asks your abs and trunk to stay active and keep your spine aligned. But if we throw in some weight, that mechanical input has some new demands. In this instance, having access to your lateral breathing becomes a game-changer. ?? That's why we recommend focusing on lat roll-outs—they help you build the ability to breathe 360 degrees and expand your ribs, which is critical when dealing with heavy loads.

Let's talk about moving *beyond* motivation. ?? We all know the feeling of being hyped to hit the gym or crush a workout… and for many of us, that motivation to train is officially stamped into our tissues. But let's take it a step further... I'm talking about feeling our feelings. And *not* doing something simply out of mere habitual practice. Sometimes we wake up and feel like we can't go hard that day. In our family, we call that your "desire to train," and it's important to listen to it. If you're feeling worn out, don't be afraid to swap a hard workout for something like a walk, some light mobility work, or playing a sport. Listen to your body (feel your feels, bruh)—it's trying to tell you when to push and when to rest. We aim for high consistency instead of rigid programs that feel like a "must-do." Some days, your body and brain won't be in sync with what's on the calendar, and that's fine. ?? Trust yourself to make the right call, and you'll find that you can stay consistent and enjoy your workouts more (and that desire might ramp up big time after a day where it's barely keeping its head above water). Ready to get to that next level of consistency? ?? Comment SYSTEM to learn about our approach to training with equilibrium!

You might already be using blood flow restriction (BFR) for a pre-training pump, pain relief, or classic hypertrophy work—but have you tried it for active recovery? ?? Here’s what I do: strap on my @trysuji cuffs at ~60% pressure and take a 15-minute walk.??♂? This helps to ?? ? Flush out waste & improve circulation ? Reperfuse tight or sore areas ? Speed up recovery after big efforts If you’ve ever finished a tough session and felt a little off the next day, this might be the missing piece. I swear by this after long bike rides—just throw on the cuffs, take a stroll, and boom, everything feels way better. Try it and let me know how it works for you! (Psst!

What do you get when you pack a weekend full of movement breakthroughs, hands-on coaching, and the kind of camaraderie that can only come from a room full of mobility nerds? The 102 Experience, baby. ?????? We just wrapped our latest in-person 102 at TRS HQ, and it’s safe to say… minds were blown, tissues were mobilized, and Kelly somehow managed to weave in movement archetypes and very specific book recs into a weekend of pure coaching gold. From refining pro-level coaching eyes to unlocking personal “AHA” moments on the trail, every single Leopard left with sharper tools—and a bigger crew to back them up. The best part? No cookie-cutter coaching here. Kelly’s not trying to clone himself. He’s handing you the tools, the science, and the weirdly specific analogies so you can bring your own genius to the table. If you want in on the next one (and trust us, you do), the September 102 waitlist is officially open. ???? Save your spot: https://lnkd.in/enUPdNEZ
