The Movement Elimination Protocol | Functional Patterns Approved

Mike breaks down the importance of setting yourself up for success when starting your FP journey...
The Movement Elimination Protocol
How will I maintain my cardiovascular fitness?
Will I lose muscle and strength?
It's important to recognize that deficiencies in your daily movement and exercise program...may be responsible for your injuries and pain.
A full stop of these activities for some time, will help you to achieve the best results when working with an FP practitioner or through our online programs.
Your body has a specific set of movement patterns, that lead to high performance and longevity.
We aim to help you strengthen those patterns, and minimize the ones that detract or take away from them.

Amazing! Enjoy the humor too. This will help so many of my clients understand. Thank you.

[@sribecco]

Thanks Mike. Excellent explanation, this was so well said. I’ll be sending this to all of my clients in the future prior to starting with them.

[@santacruzbiomechanics]

Great video Mike - makes a lot of sense that participating in exercise or activities that aren’t directly related to the way humans evolved to move will hinder progress with FP, and is likely the root cause of most dysfunctional movement patterns.

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Outstanding summary! The perspective you are offering is invaluable. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@ericpiwang]

Thanks for this great resource Mike 👌🏽👌🏽

[@marklabib874]

Thanks so much Mike! Such clear and concise information being presented. This will be a valuable video to show current and future clients

[@slings7149]

Great video Mike as always! This was much needed as it can be the hardest part of having clients at times!

[@MAWLife]

Thank you Mike for making these videos simplistic, entertaining and educational. These videos really helped me understand why FP takes a different approach to health and fitness.

Question. You say we are made for: Standing, Running, Walking and Throwing. are we made also for climbing ? It seems to me very important. and No swimming too ?

[@yacinechikh8932]

? No comment ?

[@julianjaramillo9434]

I wish I would of known about this so long ago, as im having to literally try to undo all the stiffness I put my body in to get stronger in movements like bench press squat etc.

[@olivierlagace1512]

What about people who want to optimize their biomechanics for better performance in their sport? People that have no pain in the first place ? Are practitioners allowed to use their knowledge acquired through FP courses for other goals then ''getting out of pain''? For a specific sport or activities for example. Great video, love the content has always ! Thanks Mike and the FP team !

[@itsgarrick4910]

Most sports favor one side of the body thus creating imbalances

Dear Mike, it would be great if you enabled subtitles in Spanish, I would really appreciate it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼FP🙏🏽🌎🙏🏽💯🔥

[@Reelbassin]

Explained proper

[@azdjedi]

Good timing. I want to go to the gym, at least for cardio, but I'm new to FP and my trainer said no. Sometimes I stretch my quads tho.

[@aj_mtz]

There are ways to stretch more effectively. There are some corrective exercises we do with this intention specifically. Maybe you can ask the practitioner you work with for some alternatives that will maximize your ROI for your body 💪🏾

[@azdjedi]

@@aj_mtz PNF? I notice sometimes he does that, or something similar, to me.

[@aj_mtz]

@@azdjedi no, we are much more precise than that

[@xoxo49999]

I am facing lower back pain especially in left battock should I follow this protocol or follow phisyo exercises?

[@pabzmartin6488]

id go with the fp protocol. its has changed my life. so much so that i became a fp practitioner. So i might be a bit biased. let me say this, as i get older i need to spend my money and especially my time in areas that yield results. look at the results fp has on their instagram page. they are unmatched by any other modality of training. life is short, lets not waste time.

[@rhod3217]

Quick Q, my pain has unfortunately got a little worse after over 10 sessions. Does that mean I don't fall into the most people category or should I stick with it and it will improve?

[@GM-fn3ku]

I love FP but can we try do it without the sociopathic vibes

[@michaelmucciolo809]

I would argue continuing doing movements that hurt just for social inclusion is more sociopathic but to each his own!

[@slings7149]

Or can u follow a first principles approach to fitness without relapsing to your old behaviors

[@aj_mtz]

I love ambiguity, can you please use more abstractions to try and detract from the objective vibes in the vid?

[@GM-fn3ku]

@@michaelmucciolo809 I agree

[@beccamoraz]

I train with an FP coach but damn you would go broke having 2-3 sessions a week 😂

[@jamescarl3873]

I love so much of this info but everybody interested in FP should know it's a cult. I remember a few years ago, order to be an FP practitioner, you were told to leave your loved ones if they engage in practices like Yoga, crossfit, or olympic lifting. Is this still the case? Does Naudi still run a cult? I just think people should be informed.

[@natekelston123]

Haha what the hell… that’s not true one bit. How would this even be enforced haha someone lock this guy back up in the looney bin

[@aj_mtz]

Yeah this is definitely false. There are people certified in FP who used to be yoga instructors. They do not restrict people for the reasons you stated. There are many other reasons why people may be rejected, but they do not use this as a determining factor

[@chasegilmore7158]

Indistinguishable from a religion.

[@pabzmartin6488]

great video Mike! these are valuable resources for me to send to future students. Thank you

[@andrewhall1824]

Great video Mike! Nothing stifles progress more than clients hurting themselves outside of sessions.

[@chasegilmore7158]

This is completely indistinguishable from a religion. Everything about it. Don’t look elsewhere. Don’t mix it with other methods. We do that for YOU, for your own good. I don’t doubt that FP can get you physical gains and pain reduction, but PLEASE people, do not fall for the religious indoctrination of the system. You CAN mix methods. You can question and challenge the “doctrine” and “authority”. I’m shocked at how quickly and obviously this movement system has devolved into a common cult/religion.

[@itsgarrick4910]

I don't think FP is a cult. They ask a lot of logical questions and Mike backs up the reasons why you shouldn't mix. Again, if you want to mix, it's your choice, but don't expect results to come quickly then.

[@mmayojr]

This dude sounds a bit condescending towards the end. I get it though, it must be frustrating when you're trying to help someone and they can't give up certain habits and vices so that they can help themselves to begin a healing process that you're trying to guide them through. People are incredibly bad about taking good advice.

[@aprilapril2]

Yup. And rightly so saying it as it is..

[@thatguyisme5261]

Is there much point in doing it if my job is labour intensive and involves lifting and digging regularly or will I not see the benefits?

[@aj_mtz]

Tough to say as people need to consider making a living as well. Although my opinion would be that the manual labor could eventually be helpful as you learn to economize your motion. If you are working with a practitioner I might suggest asking them for some pointers on improving your posture in some common movements you do for work

[@jog6994]

An other great video keep them coming. I refer them to new clients

[@superlifas]

Awesome informative well explained video! FP all day!

[@spencerpaige]

Well done! Thank you for this resource!!!

[@fitnessmindset4499]

Completely on point Brotha, thank you Mike

[@cholkymilkmirage4984]

idk, fp feels like an MLM. The 10 week course is sparse and it requires another course after wards to improve, or going to a practitioner which is not cheap, OR you can get certified??? And then pay 1500 for 2 classes to try and get you certificate and then you can open up your own FP place but you gotta buy the FP gear from them? And the newer courses also only add an extra movement to the movement you are already doing majority of the time. Also all the pain you are feeling goes away with the myofascial release techniques. And then you just continue to them over and over and over and over again. In a sense, when doing FP you do movements that are 99% less likely to hurt you vs going to the gym, and then you do myofascial release where it hurts to get rid of the pain if you get it. It FEELS like a cult, everything is hidden and very sparse. Ppl say they are pain free now but is it because they are doing exercises that are less likely to give them pain, and they are doing MFR to take away whatever pain may arise? IDK im going in circles but it feels very culty.

[@mykeelevated]

Great content 🙏

[@tdrobbo]

Simple and to the point. Eliminate then build in the context of the first principles of human movement.

[@chadmarr7708]

Good job sir.

[@daniel.tahmazis]

very well explained video Mike, thank you.

[@heinrichvdmescht7600]

Great video thankyou. We develop addictions to certain movements/habits/exercise routines and when we're told not to do them...we will find excuses to keep doing them coz it makes us feel good...temporarily. I found that dropping old traditional lifting and working on changing my dysfunctional habits to be the best decition I've ever made. For me it's simple...if you're honest with yourself and truly invested in being a better human being...going all in with FP is a no brainer.

Lol. Basically FP is responsible for the pandemic. Shame.

Are more sick and incapacitated people getting surgeries "good for the economy" ? GDP may go up with knee and hip replacements but, that does not mean the population is more resilient and capable. Money is an abstraction and a terrible metric for health
