Assessment before
programming. Always.
Your body runs one of six structural patterns. Each has predictable limitations, dominant muscles, and intervention priorities. We measure first. Then we program with precision.
95% of coaches program blind.
- Exercises reinforce dominant muscles
- Recessive muscles don't get effective stimulus
- ROM limitations invisible to the coach
- Plateau after 6-8 months, no diagnosis
- Generic programming, generic results
- Structural pattern identified precisely
- Recessive muscles targeted with full ROM
- Pattern-specific resets before every session
- Load progression accelerated when ROM unlocks
- Every variable justified by data
The 6 Patterns
Your body organizes under gravity following one of six predictable patterns. Each determines your intervention strategy.
Functional Occupancy
Most balanced. Minimal restrictions. Standard programming works. Rare in trained lifters with 3+ years.
Intact Lateralization [L]
Most common. Right-side dominance, left rotation preference. Hip abduction R limited. Glute med R recessive.
Mixed Lateralization [L]
Pattern 2 with additional compensations. More restrictions. Interventions need higher specificity.
Intact Lateralization [R]
Mirror of Pattern 2. Left-side dominance. Less common but significant.
Mixed Lateralization [R]
Mirror of Pattern 3. Right lateralization with compensations. Most specific intervention needed.
Extended Bilateral
Bilateral extension. Hyperlordosis, bilateral rib flare, ZOA difficulty. Most conservative initial progression.
