A positive orthopedic test does not automatically give us a diagnosis.

In this clip from the Kingdom Strength Podcast, Dr. Ethan Holm discusses shoulder orthopedic testing and how his approach to interpreting these tests has evolved with clinical experience.

Consider how many named tests we learn for the shoulder: Speed’s, Yergason’s, Hawkins-Kennedy, O’Brien’s, Empty Can, Lift-Off, and many others.

Many of these tests use symptom reproduction as part of what constitutes a “positive” finding. But reproducing shoulder pain during a particular maneuver does not necessarily tell us, in isolation, exactly which structure is responsible for the patient’s presentation.

This is where Ethan introduces an important concept: the integrity of the test.

Rather than simply asking whether a test is positive or negative, we can pay attention to how the patient performs the task and what happens throughout the movement.

Was pain reproduced?

Was there weakness or an inability to maintain the testing position?

Did the patient compensate?

Did the response change with position, resistance, or load?

Does the finding make sense alongside the rest of the examination?

Sensitivity, specificity, and the traditional interpretation of a positive test still provide valuable information. But an orthopedic test is ultimately one piece of evidence within a much larger clinical picture.

The goal is not simply to perform enough named tests until one becomes positive.

The goal is to understand what each finding contributes to the working hypothesis and whether it should influence what we assess next.

That shift turns orthopedic testing from a checklist into a clinical reasoning process.

Field sport performance requires more than being strong or fit.

Athletes need to accelerate, sprint, produce force rapidly, decelerate, change direction, react, and repeatedly express those qualities when it matters.

The rebuilt 16-Week Field Athlete Program was designed to develop the physical qualities behind performance on the field.

The program progresses through four training phases:
Hypertrophy, Max Strength, Power, Performance

Across those 16 weeks, training progressively develops:
• Strength and unilateral capacity
• Acceleration and speed
• Power and rate of force development
• Deceleration and change of direction
• Plyometric and reactive ability
• Multidirectional movement
• Conditioning and work capacity

But this isn’t a sport-specific skills program.

Your practices develop the technical and tactical skills of your sport. This program develops the physical capacity to express those skills at a higher level.

The rebuilt edition takes that system even further with enhanced programming, expanded education and coaching, improved organization, and a completely redesigned premium training experience.

Whether you play soccer, football, rugby, lacrosse, or another field sport, the objective is the same: Become stronger. Faster. More explosive. More resilient. More capable.

The spine doesn’t always need to remain rigid during training. In the appropriate context, we can also progressively train its ability to move and tolerate load.

During a GHD extension, gravity creates an external flexion moment as the torso lowers. The posterior chain controls that movement eccentrically before producing force to extend the hips and trunk back toward the starting position.

This gives us an opportunity to train the posterior chain dynamically through a controlled range of motion.

The stimulus can also be easily manipulated through range of motion, tempo, external load, pad position, and the relative contribution of the hips and spine.

I like this variation for developing posterior chain strength and endurance while progressively building tolerance to loaded trunk movement.

We don’t always need to avoid movement. Sometimes we need to progressively build the capacity to control it.

Season 3 of my podcast is here!

To kick off the new season, I sat down with Dr. Ethan Holm from The FARM: Functional Athletic Rehabilitation & Movement for a conversation about clinical assessment, orthopedic testing, sideline care, and the process of developing as a clinician.

One of the themes from our conversation was the importance of keeping things simple early in your clinical career.

Experienced clinicians often make clinical reasoning look effortless because years of repetition have developed pattern recognition. They have seen similar presentations, learned which findings carry more weight, and developed a better sense of where to direct the examination.

As a young clinician, trying to replicate those shortcuts before developing that experience can create more confusion than clarity.

You don’t have to have everything figured out on the first visit.

Build a strong foundation. Follow a systematic process. Gather meaningful information. Develop a clinical picture. Then make the next defensible decision.

Pattern recognition comes with experience. Good clinical reasoning starts with mastering the fundamentals.

The Strength Program has been rebuilt.

Getting stronger requires more than simply lifting heavier weights. It requires intentional progression, appropriate loading, fatigue management, recovery, and a training system designed to produce adaptation over time.

The new Kingdom Strength Strength Program brings those pieces together in a completely rebuilt training experience.

The programming is designed to systematically develop strength, while the new educational content helps you better understand the principles driving that progress.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Evidence-based strength programming
• Progressive, periodized training
• Clear RPE, RIR, tempo, and rest prescriptions
• Improved exercise sequencing and workout organization
• Expanded coaching notes and education
• Mesocycle-specific guidance
• A premium, easy-to-follow training experience

This isn’t about chasing a max every week. It’s about building the capacity to become stronger over time.

The Strength Program is the latest addition to the Kingdom Strength Rebuilt Collection, where evidence-based programming meets education, organization, and purposeful training.

The rebuilt Strength Program is available now through the link in my bio.

Discipline becomes easier when it’s connected to purpose.

Motivation is useful, but it’s unreliable. Some days you’ll feel energized, focused, and ready to train. Other days you won’t.

That’s where purpose matters.

When you understand why you’re pursuing better health, your decisions no longer have to depend entirely on how you feel that day. Training becomes more than completing a workout. Nutrition becomes more than hitting numbers. Taking care of your body becomes connected to something deeper.

Maybe you want to be physically capable of serving your family well. Maybe you’re pursuing excellence in sport. Maybe you want to improve your long-term health. Maybe you view stewardship of your body as another opportunity to honor God.

Whatever the reason, give your discipline something deeper than emotion to stand on.

Don’t build your fitness around your mood. Build it around conviction.

Motivation may get you started. Purpose gives you a reason to keep showing up.

What’s the deeper reason behind your pursuit of better health?

Not every jump creates the same training stimulus.

A traditional box jump begins from a controlled position, utilizes a countermovement, produces a high-intent concentric effort, and finishes by landing on an elevated surface. This makes it a useful option for developing explosive force while reducing some of the landing demand associated with returning to the ground.

But that differs from a highly reactive plyometric task.

A defining characteristic of plyometric training is effective use of the stretch-shortening cycle: rapidly accepting eccentric load and transitioning into concentric force production. Pogo jumps, hurdle hops, bounds, and drop jumps emphasize this quality more directly because the athlete must absorb force and quickly redirect momentum.

We can also change the stimulus of the box jump.

Precede the jump with a small hop or drop and minimize ground contact before immediately jumping onto the box. Now we’ve introduced a greater reactive demand while still using the elevated landing surface to manage landing load.

That doesn’t make one variation better than another. It makes them different tools.

Are you training explosive concentric force? Reactive strength? Landing capacity? Repeated jumping ability?

One of the biggest mistakes in endurance training is spending too much time in the “gray zone.”

Easy sessions become too hard, and hard sessions aren’t hard enough.

As a result, athletes often miss the adaptations they’re actually trying to develop. Zone 2 work should be easy enough to promote peripheral aerobic adaptations, while high-intensity sessions should be performed with sufficient intensity to improve qualities such as VO₂max and maximal aerobic power.

In this clip from the Kingdom Strength Podcast, I explain why matching the training intensity to the intended adaptation is one of the most important principles in conditioning and endurance programming.

Train the right intensity for the right adaptation.

We can make our plans, set goals, and work diligently toward where we believe God is leading us, but ultimately, our lives remain in His hands.

Proverbs 16:9 is a reminder that faithful planning and trust in God’s sovereignty are not opposites. We are called to move forward with wisdom and intentionality while remaining humble enough to recognize that the path may not unfold exactly as we imagined.

Sometimes God opens the door we were pursuing. Sometimes He redirects us entirely. In either case, our confidence is not found in our ability to perfectly predict the future, but in the One who already knows every step ahead.

Plan diligently. Work faithfully. Hold your plans with open hands.

“The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9
