Nsima Inyang, Mutant and Movement Coach — True Strength Training

Nsima Inyang — 'the Mutant.' Black belt in BJJ, top-5 natural bodybuilder, elite powerlifter, and movement coach. His thesis: microdose movement throughout the day rather than cramming it into one gym session. Rope flow as a key unlock. Breathing fixes chronic pain.

Canon

Inyang's entire practice is built on physical training as the foundation for everything else.

Highlights

Microdosing movement
Put equipment around your house. 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there.
Rope flow as training tool
Inyang calls it an 'internal martial art.' 5 minutes a day for years compounds.
Breathing fixes chronic pain
Many movement problems are actually breathing problems.
