The Iron Body Assessment

What if this really is just your life now?

I asked myself that after more than a dozen car accidents. Doctors told me I would never train pain free again. I did not believe them, but for a long time I could not prove them wrong either.

For years I did the right things and it still came back. Flare ups. Setbacks. Starting over. So I stopped asking what was wrong with me and started looking at what I was asking my body to do all day.

Eight hours in a chair. Everything forward facing. Never rotating, never getting down to the ground. Then I would go train the same three patterns I was already good at. The weak links were never the part that hurt. They were the positions I had quietly stopped visiting years ago.

The Iron Body Assessment is how I find them. It is the same one I run on myself.

Send me the assessment Free. About 10 minutes. You score it yourself.

It is for you if

  • You did the right things, gave it time, and it came back anyway.
  • You want a plan you can trust, not more motivation.

It is not for you if

  • You want your back fixed in seven days. That is not a thing, and I will not sell it to you.
  • You want someone to tell you to push through it.
Free assessment

Get the assessment

Tell me where to send it. It lands in your inbox in the next few minutes.

Answering helps me build it for you first. It is not required.

Here is exactly what happens. One email in the next few minutes with the assessment. After that I write a couple times a month about what I am building and what I am learning. Nothing else. Unsubscribe any time and I will not chase you.

IRON BODY is still being built. Target to open it up is this fall, and I will not pretend to know the day. When it is ready to test, the people on this list go first, and what they tell me shapes what ships.

The order

Blood flow before load. Pattern before isolation.

Nervous system before muscle. Do not redline every day. Keep your ranges.

That is the order I have relearned thirty times over ten years, usually the hard way. Most men skip straight to load, because load is the only part you can measure on a plate. It is also usually what puts them back on the floor.

I am building the IRON BODY app to walk a man through that order automatically. It is not ready yet. What is ready is the assessment underneath it. The same checkpoints, scored by you, in about ten minutes. It tells you where you sit in the order right now.

You are not waiting on the app to start.

Take the assessment Free. About 10 minutes.
What you find

Find the weak links before life breaks them

This is not a workout plan. It is a breakdown of your foundation. Most injuries do not happen in the gym. They happen because life demanded something your body was not prepared for.

  • What movement patterns you are training all day without knowing it.
  • Which of the seven force categories you have been ignoring in the gym.
  • Whether you can actually control the positions life demands from you.
  • Your Iron Body Archetype, and the blueprint that goes with it.
What comes next

IRON BODY

The assessment tells you where you stand today. IRON BODY is what tells you what to do about it every day after. It is an iPhone app and it is still being built. Take the assessment and you are on the early access list for it.

Heat Check

How hard should today be

A 60 second read every morning on sleep, pain, and load. The session scales to match. Hard days when you have it in you. An Ironclad day when you don't, so you still train instead of skipping and starting over.

No Weak Links

Where you are going to break

Twenty seven movement patterns, scored and tracked. The assessment finds them once. This watches them every week, so the ones you fix stay fixed.

Interference Engine

What is cancelling out what

Your lifting and your conditioning fight each other. Some goals amplify, some conflict. The app knows which is which and spaces them so you stop paying for it three weeks later.

Injury-Aware Substitution

What to do when something is nagging

Something is pinching. Instead of telling you to rest six weeks, it swaps the movement and keeps the stimulus. You keep the chain intact while the weak link settles down.
