Into the Unknowns: When Shapes Deceive and Muscles Lie

In this week’s episode of Let Me Introduce You, we dive into the murky waters of the unknown—those tricky places where assumed knowledge fails and curiosity is the only compass.Adarian kicks things off with an idea Jen hasn’t heard yet (always a great start). Together, they unpack the way we often mistake what we see for how it works. From elbow flexion to running posture, calf raises to fastball grips, the conversation explores how training has become obsessed with copying shapes and isolated muscles instead of seeking real understanding.Why haven’t we broken long-standing athletic records despite being stronger, faster, and better fueled? Why do we train the same drills and still see wildly different results? Maybe we’re all chasing visuals—and missing the mechanics.We also nerd out on sesamoid bones, viscoelastic properties, and how warming up might really just be about syncing flows in the body.This one’s full of “wait...what?” moments and friendly side-eye at the fitness industry's sacred cows. If you’ve ever wondered why doing the thing doesn’t get you the result, this one’s for you.🎧 Listen to Season 2, Episode 8: “Unknowns”📘 Plus, we’ve got events, product launches (hello, A-bar and gloves), and the first chapter of the running book coming soon—because the unknowns are too good not to explore.Until next time,Jen & Adarian This is a public episode.
