In this episode, Belinda sits down with coach Nick McCallum, owner of Outlier Performance, to unpack a different way of looking at pain, training and movement, and why understanding joint position, posture and the way we train can make such a difference to how our bodies move, function and feel.
Nick shares his perspective on back pain, pelvic control, stretching, glute and posterior-chain strength, the role of the nervous system, and why a diagnosis doesn’t necessarily define what your body is capable of.
We cover:
- Why pain isn’t always coming from where you feel it
- The connection between posture, joint position and pain
- Common training mistakes that may reinforce dysfunction
- Why back pain can be linked to pelvic position and muscle imbalance
- The importance of glutes, hamstrings and abdominal strength
- Stretching, mobility and reducing muscular tension
- Why you shouldn’t become defined by an MRI or diagnosis
- Why strength training matters
- Rebuilding movement and coordination after experiencing pain
- Nick’s perspective on peptides and why they shouldn’t replace addressing the underlying biomechanics
A valuable conversation that will have you thinking differently about pain, movement, strength and how you train.
