No, he doesn’t have “one neat trick to fix knee pain,” but I like his first-principles approach: figure out what positions and movements your sport requires, and then work to make sure you can get into those positions and execute those movements. I also appreciated the principle that your work off the bike should support your bike-related goals, but this doesn’t mean it should mimic your movement on the bike (in fact, it probably shouldn’t).

Also found the podcast informative with the takeaways you listed. Big fan of Coach Chad deep dives, and while a completely different style I also enjoyed watching Kelly Starrett on the YouTube podcast.

Bought Deskbound, Standing Up to a Sitting World and its a great book, like an owners manual for anyone working at a desk. Last night on a group ride I recommended it to an accountant with back problems.
