Coach Matt Crane

Mobility and Strength coach

Creating sustainability in training. In the process of coaching classes and one to one and searching for more effective ways to meet the requirements of the people in front of me, I was recommended the FRS: functional range systems. This is a movement system that forms the structure of my approach to movement

. A system that allows me to meet you where you are at, as we work towards your movement goals. Be it getting out of pain when moving, or wanting to hit or throw balls further, cycle up hills quicker or squat better. Maybe you feel restricted when moving, maybe its a combo of things. If improving feels and or performance when moving interests you, please get in contact. Contact info-

Do you experience some feels during your day to day or your chosen movement practice. EG: the same niggles, feels of restriction or possible pain as you move into different positions. Maybe mobility work is something that interests you, but you are unsure how to structure it, where to start. Mobility work is Strength work, it should be progressive. The real magic is in the daily inputs, set during each session, clients doing their homework drives the change, changes in connective tissue takes time and internally driven inputs (training), internally referring to changes driven from the inside out, through you moving. Movement being the language we speak to our internal environment, the clearer we can speak through mindful movement, with intent, the better the response we get from the body. Your goals will dictate the nature of the work we do, it could vary from “I want to get out of bed feeling good”, so some simple movements at light intensity layered in throughout your day to day could be plenty. Maybe Crossfit is your jam or a specific sport, that approach is going to differ again as we require some inputs to match the demands of your movement practice. If you are interested in layering in an approach to movement that is based on improving the expression of you, so you can get more out of your training, day to day movement or a weekend in the garden. Please feel free to ping me a message. Happy to answer any questions you may have. What would the 1st session involve and why do an assessment? The 1st session would include an assessment, some simple movements that give us a good idea of the capacity we currently have for movement. Then based off of the assessment, your goals and movement history we shall structure an approach that meets you where you are currently at. If we are not assessing, we are guessing. Frequency of session frequency varies from client to client. I have clients who are long term weekly clients. Clients who do monthly touch base sessions, with homework refreshers. Usually at around a month we can start to feel a difference from the work we are doing, then we want to gradually increase demand or complexity of what we are doing, to provide that novel stimulus (something a little bit different) to progress. Cultivating a sustainable approach to training in the process. The"why" behind our training is important. Any questions please feel free to reach out. Contact info-

introduced me to the breathing gears 7 years ago.

The gears give you the ability to consciously train breathwork in different environments under different stressors.

First becoming aware of how we breathe whilst placing some more metabolic load on the system is eye opening for the open minded.

I’ve experienced other reactions on the gym floor also. People not prepared to give up what they think will develop “fitness” in the short to mid term to work on the long game.

Never gets boring applying and coaching breathwork.

It seems to be a tool/ skill that drives adaptations and awareness that allow people to develop physical capacities yes. But also weave other training inputs together and help other adaptations stick. Tis good stuff.

Any questions as usual give me a nudge ☕️🤓.

A little bit on loading at length, hamstring tissue used as the example. Some general chat weaved in.Any questions please feel free to give me a nudge. 👍🏻☕️

Bands and chains are vital training tools. Creating the novelty required to keep training fresh. Unfortunately in the “mainstream” they are often confined to “rehab” or warm ups.

is a great resource to tap into regarding the use of these tools.

for chain shock training 👌🏻.

Good for anyone. Mint for you guys and girls that are tied to desks all day. Breaking up the working day with movement is vital if your job involves nada, movement wise, but a shot ton of thinking. We don’t want the thinking to come at the cost of the ability to move. As movement is everything, but…. saying that it’s also clear that are nervous system gives next to zero sh*ts about our joint health. People seemingly able to sit at desk and not realise the joint degeneration at play, the tissue atrophy at play, wake up one morning and “put their back out” or all of a sudden develop “bad knees”. Our body keeps a score of all the times we move with the intent to maintain or reclaim joint and tissue, therefore movement capacity. It also keeps a score the hours, days, weeks, months, years that we do not. No intervention can “fix” something that is unhackable. Yes, surgery can appear too. But it doesn’t. Tissue maintenance is an on going thing.

A big part of the coaching that myself and similar coaches do is teaching the training day, finding time, space for training inputs, no matter how insignificant they may seem in the short term.

Stick with it and the micro sessions can be more explorative. As your training inputs build up over seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks……… so does your ability to do a greater variety of movements from cold, and feel good for it.

Long term a simple movement like the scapula CAR can be a part of building out an approach to training that is accessible and therefore gives us a better chance WOD being consistent over long periods of time.

You can obviously weave in those big sessions too if that’s your Jam. It’s not everyone’s. But training is more accessible than the majority of people realise. 👊🏻👌🏻☕️

Loading hamstring tissue. More specifically the white tissue. Showing the connective tissue a bit of love. Not just stretching, creating stretch feels yes, then what we do once the stretch is initiated is important. Here light load for a longer period of time is the aim.

Follow along if ya fancy it 👍🏻.

This isn’t just stretching hamstrings because they are “tight”. It’s inquisitively exploring sheets of tissue at a macro level that then allowing you to potentially find some pockets of “tightness” “tension” that you currently are not aware of, potentially. This type fo loading can be done all over the shop, from head to toe. This is an opportunity to cultivate healthier connective tissue. The begginings of strength at length, the begginings of expanding mobility linearly.

Strength training in a lengthened position is a feesh take on the dead end that is just stretching. Stretching is a legit part of strength training. What you do once the stretch is initiated is the impratnt bit, when you use it, how you use it 👊🏻👌🏻👍🏻.
