10 tests to see where your body compensates.
At home, with a partner, in 12 minutes. No device, no equipment. Your partner pushes, you hold, and you watch together: it holds, or it gives way. Right versus left.
The 10 tests I run on every stand
Two people, no equipment. I send them in three emails, with the full PDF guide in the first one.
You’re not plateauing. You’re compensating.
Most people who plateau aren’t short on willpower. They are compensating for one side that holds less well than the other, without ever having seen it. At rest, it doesn’t show. Under load, at the end of a session, it gives way. And it always comes back on the same side.
These 10 tests make it visible. Not a belief: an observation you can repeat tomorrow, under the same conditions, and find again.
Only have 4 minutes? Start with these three.
The closed fist
The one you see right away: your foot stays on the floor, or it lifts.
The arm to the side
The simplest way to see a gap between your right and your left.
The trunk rotation
The only one you can do alone, with a phone filming.
For you, or not for you.
- you train and plateau without understanding why;
- it always comes back on the same side;
- you want to see before you believe.
- you want to be told what you have: these tests don’t say;
- you have a recent injury or acute pain: see a health professional first;
- you want a promise of results without testing.
