  • Ep.31 - Kinstretch Explained - The missing link in your Strength Training
    Sep 4 2025

    If you’ve ever felt stiff, stuck, or like your joints are holding you back, this episode is your wake-up call. I'm diving deep into Kinstretch, a powerful, science-backed movement enhancement system that goes way beyond stretching.

    You’ll learn why this method is all about building strength at the end ranges of motion, training your joints and connective tissues to actually handle the demands of your life, your workouts, and your sport. I break down how Kinstretch helps improve mobility, joint control, and injury resilience, and why it targets the “white tissues” - ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules, that most traditional strength programs ignore.


    You’ll discover how the nervous system governs your access to movement, the role of CARs as daily joint maintenance and assessment tools, and how breathing and neural control play into lasting flexibility.


    Whether you’re a CrossFit athlete, coach, active parent, or simply tired of feeling restricted in your body, this episode will change the way you view mobility.


    Tune in and learn why strong muscles aren’t enough, and how true internal strength starts from the joints out. Follow the show and connect with us on Instagram @peakmobilitydxb to see how this method looks in real life and where you can drop in for a session.

  • Ep.30 - Unilateral Strength: The missing link in Mobility, Injury Prevention & Performance
    Aug 7 2025

    Most people train bilaterally - think squats, deadlifts, presses - but life doesn’t move that way...

    In this episode of Peak Potential Unleashed, I explore why unilateral training, especially with contralateral loading, is critical for fixing imbalances, boosting joint control, and building real-world strength. You'll learn how asymmetries impact performance, how to train end-range mobility with load, and how plyometrics strengthen tendons and ligaments to reduce injury risk. Backed by principles from FRC, Kinstretch, and the Internal Strength Model, this episode connects mobility, stability, and resilience into one complete approach for better movement.

    Whether you're into CrossFit, functional training, or just want to move pain-free - this episode will change how you train.

  • Ep.29 - Anchored in Bias: How mental shortcuts sabotage your Fitness progress
    Jul 31 2025

    Ever feel like you’re stuck in your fitness journey, despite showing up, eating “clean,” and doing the work? You might be anchored. Not by your strength or your schedule, but by a powerful mental shortcut known as the anchoring effect.

    In this episode, I unpack one of the most underestimated cognitive biases in health and fitness. Anchoring is the brain’s habit of clinging to the first piece of information it gets - whether it’s a calorie label, a suggested rep range, or your last 1RM, and using that as a baseline for all future decisions. And once it’s set, it shapes your training intensity, portion sizes, expectations of progress, and even how much effort you think you’re putting in.

    We’ll explore how this bias shows up in:

    • CrossFit and strength training (Rx weights, AMRAPs, scaling decisions)
    • Endurance and perceived exertion
    • Calorie counting, fasting, and food labels
    • Mobility goals and flexibility benchmarks
    • Fitness apps, daily routines, and goal setting


    You’ll hear how anchors subtly shape behavior and how to reframe or override bad ones, especially if you're underestimating your potential. Drawing from research by Tversky & Kahneman and real-world applications in fitness and coaching, this episode will challenge the way you think about progress.

    Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just getting started, you’ll walk away with a sharper mindset, and smarter strategies to break plateaus.
