Now, in addition to this conversation, Kyler also filmed a short series of videos in the gym demonstrating exercises for common issues like lower back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain. These are designed to help you put some of these concepts from today's episode into action. The videos are only available to subscribers and can be found on the show notes page for this episode.

I want to kind of give folks a little bit of a sense of what you and I came up with a few years ago in the throes of my recovery from shoulder surgery and why that gave us this idea to take two things that seemed quite unrelated at the time, my recovery from an injury, coupled with this idea that I'd been

I want to kind of give folks a little bit of a sense of what you and I came up with a few years ago in the throes of my recovery from shoulder surgery and why that gave us this idea to take two things that seemed quite unrelated at the time, my recovery from an injury, coupled with this idea that I'd been

marinating around this idea of a centenary decathlon in a marginal decade and why we decided to kind of put the best ideas or the themes of these together. So how does that sound? Sounds great. All right. So let's see, you and I met four years ago as soon as I moved to Austin. I don't even remember what we worked on because I think it was just like preventative stuff.

That's right. You're right. We were probably a couple months in maybe, and it was clear that I was nursing this bad shoulder. Um, And I knew what was going on because I had torn the labrum before. The diagnosis, I remember, was actually made in 2009. I had my first arthrogram in 2009.

For folks listening who don't know what that is, an arthrogram is an MRI where prior to you going in the scanner, the radiologist takes a needle about yay long, like four inches long. shoots the needle into the capsule and injects contrast so that it really allows the MRI to show the labrum and how much it's detached from the glenoid fossa.

And so it was patently clear at that time I had a torn labrum. It was significantly torn, but not as torn as it would be 13 years later. But I had largely avoided surgery by doing as much as I could to strengthen the rotator cuff. And frankly, I was afraid to have surgery. That was the bottom line is I didn't want

to trade one problem for another, meaning I didn't want to trade pain and instability for immobility. And I saw that as the trade-off. Folks listening probably recall that I had a podcast. I did a sit-down discussion with Alton, who is the amazing surgeon, Alton Baron, who ultimately did the repair. But what I was most impressed by in that experience, which turned out to be wildly positive, was
