Putting it in to Practice
Tonight Matt, Jake, and Rich hit some serious PRs. I was so impressed with their work i had to come home and write this up.
Matt found double snatch+press followed by front squats tested best. He hit PRs in both weight moved, and time it took (density) followed by axle rows and knee raises– over 15K moved in 27 minutes
Jake did double press coupled with sumo deadlift- he hit PRs in sets, total reps and density.
Rich killed it- over 195 reps in the sump deadlift in 30 minutes, totalling 31,000+ very impressive.
These men are learning the Gym Movement program- and this month you will have the chance to purchase this program which delivers PRs every workout. The safest program which delivers unparalleled results.

Congrats on all the PR's
to test for best sequence do you mix and match and test after each? ex. ABC, test, BAC, test, CAB, test, ACB test, etc?
Just for fun after my training tonight I tested a toe touch prior to taking my post workout supplements, then held them in my mouth for a couple seconds, then retested. ROM increased.
What? That's bizarre, P.J. I was about to give up on pullups yesterday and decided to try adding a bunch of weight- more than I usually do. Tested phenomenal. Kept doing singles until I ran out of training time. So weird how this works…
I just watched all your bio-mech videos on youtube and I will try it out. I did the FMS-course with Brett Jones a couple a months ago and I find the thinking similar.
I have two questions:
1. Why toe touch and arm reach for bio-markers? I understand they are easy to use but is it possible you would be getting better results using more bio-markers as in the FMS test. Of course the procedure would we extremely complicated and time consuming but in theory?
2. How do I know if I should lift heavier during a training session? If I for example deadlift 100 kg – and the toe touch shows that that is the excercise and weight for me today – and want to lift heavier. Should I do a test lift on 110 kg, do the toe touch and if I'm clear start lifting on 110? Do I continue doing this while I add on more weight? Basically what I am asking is how I do to put on more weight during a session.

not sure if Gemini's "what" was directed at my attempt to ask about sequencing or at my using biofeedback to check for nutritional status. But rereading my post I guess the sequencing question was a little unclear. I was using ABC to represent exercises.
last night I tested and found (A)single leg DL, (B)chins, and (C)ring pushups tested best. So would I do one rep of each then retest to see which sequence worked best? This could take quite a while but I guess it would be good warm up anyway.
PJ, pursue drills in order of best testing to worst (relatively speaking)
Jon
You answered your first question as you asked it. I have worked with several hundred people with the FMS and using it is not a time effective solution. Ont he toe touch and arm raise, those are only two of many possible drills- i show those here to make things simple. Using an FMS drill is overly complicated and a burden on my time with people.

its not weird at all- quality movement allow for move quantity of movement- thats strength training 101 (at least in my mind)

so let me see if I got this right. If for example the deadlift gave me 3 inches in ROM and press gave me 2 inches and chins gave me one, I would go in that order DL, press, chin?
that's a lot easier than what I was doing, ha. I got through a couple scenarios and gave up.
Never give up
Ok, so let me rephrase. I realized I had taken on an inefficient strategy and decided to reassess it. How's that? haha. In the spirit of not giving up, you didn't say whether I correctly understood your explanation of how to sequence exercises. I will figure this out eventually even if it means waiting on the DVD.
