What if I told you that the key to lifting heavier, moving better, and avoiding injury isn’t MORE tension—but LESS?

In this episode of Relax to Get Strong, we’re flipping the script on strength training. You’ve been told to brace hard, tighten up, and stay rigid—but what if that’s actually holding you back?

Here’s the truth: Your body moves and performs best when it’s loose, not locked up. More tension = more stiffness, more injuries, and less power. Want proof? I’ll share a personal story about a car accident I walked away from injury-free—all because I never saw it coming and stayed relaxed. What does that have to do with your deadlifts and squats? Tune in to find out! 🎧

We’ll break down:

• Why tight muscles increase injury risk (not prevent it!)


• The science behind relaxation and strength


• How your nervous system controls power output


• Simple strategies to train looser & lift stronger
