THE PROOF IS IN THE PROGRESS
Join the thousands of members transforming pain, stiffness, and frustration into pain-free movement.
YOU'RE NOT UNFIXABLE.
YOU'RE NOT TOO OLD.
You just need a step-by-step system that actually works.
IS THIS YOU?
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place:
- Your neck and shoulders always feel tight, stiff, or painful
- Checking your blind spot while driving makes your neck seize up
- Your shoulder gets jammed when you reach overhead
- One shoulder feels “off” and doesn’t move like the other side
- The front of your shoulder feels sore or irritated after workouts
- Your shoulders click, pinch, pop, or feel unstable
- Your wrists, and elbows keep getting irritated
- Your shoulder blades stick out
- You can’t do planks or push-ups without your wrists or elbows hurting
- One shoulder sits higher than the other
- You struggle with pull-ups, overhead pressing, or bar hangs
- Backbends, handstands, or reaching overhead feel impossible
- You’re stuck in a frustrating rest → re-injury → rest cycle
- You’ve tried stretches, massages, chiropractic treatments, or rehab exercises, but the problem keeps coming back
That’s not normal, and it’s not something you have to live with.
You need a step-by-step system that addresses the root cause.
I MADE THIS PROGRAM FOR MYSELF
This program wasn’t generated by AI, and it wasn’t thrown together over a weekend to make a quick buck.
It took me 15 months of obsessive work to build, test, refine, rebuild, and improve.
The truth is…
I MADE IT FOR MYSELF.
Back in 2016, a public comment on YouTube changed the trajectory of my training forever:
“Your shoulder at 0:11 is creeping me out.”
My left shoulder sat noticeably uneven. I suffered from recurring intercostal injuries, chronic left-sided neck tension, relentless tightness in my left lower back, and an upper back that felt locked up like concrete.
I spent years trying to outwork the dysfunction.
Despite all my training, I still struggled with:
Pain during handstands, pull-ups, and overhead movements
A left rotator cuff tear
A debilitating left wrist injury
Recurring rib and intercostal injuries
Chronic neck and lower back tension
A pull-up plateau that seemed impossible to break
I became obsessed with figuring out what I was missing.
Why did the solution feel like an impossible mystery to solve?
Through years of study, coaching, mentorship, and self-experimentation, I began connecting the dots between breathing mechanics, ribcage position, shoulder blade function, core pressure management, posture, mobility, strength, and movement quality, especially overhead.
And that changed everything.
Everything I learned became the foundation of this program.
The Results of Testing This Exact System on Myself:
✓ Corrected the uneven shoulder position that had affected both my movement and confidence for years
✓ Increased my pull-up performance from a long-standing plateau of only 2-3 consecutive reps to 10 strict pull-ups
✓ Reclaimed my strict ring muscle-up
✓ Eliminated the shoulder pinching, neck stiffness, low back pain, and wrist pain that once limited my handstand and backbending training
✓ Developed a body that recovers faster from setbacks instead of being sidelined by them

WHY NOTHING HAS WORKED SO FAR
PROBLEM #1: TREATING SYMPTOMS INSTEAD OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM
You’ve tried:
- Physiotherapy
- Chiropractic care
- Massage therapy
- Acupuncture
- Stretching
- Corticosteroid injections
- Online upper body programs
But you’re still dealing with recurring pain, stiffness, movement limitations, and frustrating flare-ups.
Why?
- Because most approaches focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying problem.
- You attend a handful of appointments, receive a few exercises, and are expected to figure everything else out on your own.
The Result?
- Temporary relief... until the next flare-up.
PROBLEM #2: STUCK IN A REST → REINJURY → REPEAT CYCLE
Does this sound familiar?
- Your shoulder starts hurting so you stop training.
- A few weeks later the pain settles down and you return to your workouts.
- Within days the pain comes right back.
- So you take more time off.
- And the cycle repeats itself.
Eventually you start telling yourself:
- “I have a bad shoulder.”
- “I just need to push through the pain.”
Neither is usually the answer.
Pain often returns because the underlying problem was never addressed. The body simply returns to the same movement strategy that created the problem in the first place.
WHY THIS PROGRAM WORKS
A COMPLETE UPPER BODY REBUILDING SYSTEM
Fix Your Upper Body is a 6-month program designed to help you address the underlying factors that contribute to upper body pain, stiffness, instability, compensation patterns, and movement limitations.
Instead of chasing symptoms, you’ll rebuild the pieces most programs miss.
Here’s what you’ll rebuild:
- How you breathe
- How your rib cage moves
- How your upper back rotates, extends, and side bends
- How your shoulder blades move and stabilize
- How your core supports your upper body
- How you reach overhead without compensation
- How your rotator cuff helps stabilize and control your shoulder
- How everything works together during real movement
WHY FIX YOUR UPPER BODY IS DIFFERENT
Through assessments, reassessments, educational lessons, and 45+ follow-along routines, you’ll learn how to build an upper body that moves better, feels better, and performs better.
Unlike most programs, you won’t be handed a PDF and left to figure things out on your own.
Simply press play and follow along.

PHASE 2: BUILD STABILITY & STRENGTH (MONTHS 3 & 4)
If any of these sound familiar, you’re going to love Phase 2:
• You can get through workouts but your body still doesn’t feel strong
• Every time you try to get stronger, something starts hurting
• You feel strong in some positions but unstable in others
• You’re tired of feeling crooked and hunched
• You don’t trust your shoulders, wrists, or upper body under load
• You’re tired of constantly modifying exercises
Phase 2 is where you stop feeling fragile and start feeling capable again.
You’ll build strength, stability, better posture, and stronger shoulder function through guided routines that train your shoulders, chest, back, arms, core, and wrists. The result? A body that feels stronger, more aligned, and more dependable in everyday life.

• Reaching overhead feels restricted, pinchy, or painful
• You want greater overhead mobility for the activities you love (overhead pressing, pull-ups, handstands, backbends, and more)
• Hanging from a bar feels impossible
• You’re tired of aggravating your shoulders every time you train overhead movements
• You want to learn introductory backbending without beating up your shoulders or low back
• You want your shoulders to feel strong, mobile, and capable
Phase 3 is where everything starts to feel possible again.
You’ll improve overhead mobility, shoulder mechanics, grip strength, hanging strength, and introductory backbending skills through progressive follow-along routines designed to help you move with confidence.
The result? Stronger shoulders, better overhead and upper back mobility, and the freedom to do more of the things you love.

A USER-FRIENDLY PROGRAM DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE
This program was designed for real people with busy lives, demanding jobs, and unpredictable schedules.
There are 3 ways to use this program. Choose the approach that best fits your personality, goals, and schedule.
OPTION 1: The Follow-Along Path (24 Weeks)
This is the easiest option for most people.
Simply click on your session, press play, and follow along with me.
The program includes 3 upper body sessions per week plus 1 cardio session.
Upper body workouts take just 15-30 minutes and eliminate guesswork of what to do next.
Each workout also includes a PDF with exercise photos and descriptions so you can quickly perform the routine on your own once you’re familiar with it.
SWIPE >>>
OPTION 2: The Cherry Picker’s Approach
Short on time? Dealing with a specific issue?
The Cherry Picker’s Library allows you to quickly find the exact routines your body needs most.
Whether you’re looking to improve overhead mobility, tackle cranky wrists, open up your thoracic spine, improve shoulder blade function, improve posture, or address a specific limitation, you can easily find the right tool for the job.
OPTION 3: The Deep Learning Path
The learning library is completely optional.
You do NOT need to read the lectures to get results from this program.
However, if you’re someone who enjoys understanding the “why” behind what we’re doing, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of movement, posture, breathing mechanics, pressure management, shoulder function, compensation patterns, and long-term injury prevention.
This is where you’ll learn how to stop guessing and start understanding your body.

FREE BONUSES
360 BREATHING CRASH COURSE
If you identify with any of these, you’re going to love this bonus:
- Why do I have back pain?
- Why do my neck and upper traps always feel tight?
- Why can’t I get my arm overhead comfortably?
- Why do I have pee leaks when I exercise?
- Why can’t I get rid of my lower belly pooch?
- Why does my body always feel stiff no matter how much I stretch?
Most people think their problem is their shoulder, neck, back, hip, or pelvic floor.
Often, it isn’t.
Poor breathing mechanics can contribute to pain, stiffness, compensation patterns, poor posture, mobility restrictions, and pelvic floor dysfunction throughout the body.
That’s why breathing is the foundation of this program.
INTELLIGENT CARDIO SYSTEM
If you identify with any of these, you’re going to love this bonus:
- Why am I exhausted all the time?
- Why does cardio make me feel worse instead of better?
- Why am I gaining weight despite exercising?
- Why does my pelvic floor hate me when I run?
- Why am I doing all this work and not getting results?
Most people think they need more cardio, more steps, more intensity, more sweat, or more suffering.
Often, they don’t.
The problem isn’t cardio itself. It’s doing cardio in a way your body can’t properly adapt to.
Learn how to build fitness without burnout, improve recovery, avoid common cardio mistakes, burn more fat, and finally get more from the work you’re already doing.
That’s what the Intelligent Cardio System is designed to teach.
WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE
Reduce pain and tightness so movement feels good again.
Build real structure, stability, mobility, and strength.

No. This system is specifically designed to complement your current training. Because sessions are short and concise, many members use these follow-along routines as their warm-up, mobility work, recovery work, or accessory training alongside their regular gym program.
Every surgery and recovery is unique. Before beginning this program, it’s important to get clearance from your surgeon, physician, or physical therapist. Once you’ve been approved for exercise, the program can help you gradually rebuild strength, mobility, confidence, and body awareness at a pace that respects your recovery.
Many of my members came to me after struggling with pain, stiffness, movement limitations, or recurring setbacks for years. While no program can guarantee results, this approach helps you better understand your body, improve movement quality, address common weak links, and build strength gradually and intelligently. I’ve seen people make meaningful progress even after years of frustration, and often the biggest breakthrough comes from finally understanding why their body is compensating in the first place.
The program is structured as a progressive 6-month plan, but you can move through it at your own pace.
If you prefer a more targeted approach, you’ll also have access to the Cherry Picker’s Library, allowing you to focus on the areas most relevant to your goals and challenges.
Many members notice improvements in mobility, comfort, posture, movement quality, and body awareness within the first 6 to 8 weeks. However, lasting change takes consistency, especially if you’ve been dealing with stiffness, compensation patterns, pain, or movement limitations for years.
Whether your goal is simply to move and feel better, or to build the mobility and strength required for more advanced skills such as handstands, you’ll have a clear roadmap to follow. You’ll also receive lifetime access, so you can revisit the lessons, routines, and exercises whenever your body needs them.
Absolutely. You’ll start with the Foundations, and then progress from there.
Not directly.
This program builds the prerequisites that most people skip: scapular control, overhead mobility, thoracic extension, shoulder stability, breathing mechanics, and alignment.
If you’ve hit a plateau or experience pinching, stiffness, or discomfort during advanced movements, this program helps build the foundation needed to progress safely.
