In this session, Carl shares the Position • Movement • Purpose (PMP) framework: how to choose a method, prioritize process, and translate universal prescriptions into your body of work. We break down global vs. local shapes, primary vs. secondary joints, and four observation lenses (STF, Push/Pull, Shift-Connect-Flow, Functional).
You’ll learn
Process - Progress - Progression - Outcome (and why order matters)
Global vs. local shapes; planes & rotations—so complex skills feel simple.
Primary vs. secondary joints and why push-ups can ladder to an iron cross
Four lenses to analyze any skill: STF, Push/Pull, SCF, Functional
How “signature movements” emerge from context and purpose
00:00 Cold open: Process - Progress - Progression - Outcome (hook)
00:20 Why PMP: choose a method, then break it into shapes
02:10 Global & local shapes (planes: sagittal, frontal, transverse)
05:10 Primary vs. secondary joints (push-up → dip → ring dip → cross)
08:20 Four lenses: STF (start-transition-finish)
10:15 Push vs. Pull (expand vs. contract)
11:10 Shift-Connect-Flow (walking → everything)
12:30 Functional: safe • useful • sustainable
14:05 Standards triad: looks • mechanics • rules (why good form “looks right”)
15:20 Case: rings support—external rotation = points, mechanics, aesthetics
16:20 Close: how to apply PMP to your goal this week
