THE SYSTEMWhat's changing
LOG IN You're still doing
what you love.
But are you starting to pay the price?
Maybe you're still doing everything you love.
Maybe you've started modifying what you do.
Maybe you've already stopped doing some of the things you love.
Where are you on the continuum?
- 01Performing
You're active, doing the things you love.
- 02Paying the price
You're starting to feel the consequences.
- 03Doing less
You start doing less to avoid discomfort.
- 04Giving things up
You stop doing some of the things you love.
- 05Can't anymore
You're no longer able to do things you love.
You may still be doing everything you want to do today. But the more important question is:
Where are you headed?Are you strong enough for the life you want to live?
01
Not simply strong enough to complete an exercise.
02
Not simply strong enough to get through today.
03
Strong enough to keep doing the things that make your life yours.

- Skiing
- Travel
- Training
- Competition

- Cycling
- Family
- Independence
Regenerative Strength
Build the capacity for the life you want to live.
Your body has a history.
Injury. Surgery. Repetitive physical stress. Inactivity. Aging. Years of compensation.
Regenerate What Aging Has Taken Away
Over time, muscular capacity can be lost or diminished—even when you've returned to activity and continued moving forward.
Regenerative Strength is the progressive restoration of muscular capacity that has been lost or diminished over time—and the continued development of that capacity from there.
The objective isn't strength for the sake of strength.
It's greater muscular capacity for the demands your life places upon your body.“Strong” doesn't necessarily mean “strong everywhere”.
You can be strong.
You can train.
You can golf, ski, run, cycle or compete.
And individual muscles can have very different levels of strength and capacity.
What your body can do can hide what it can't.
Knowing what your body can accomplish as a whole isn't necessarily the same as knowing the capacity of the individual muscular components responsible for accomplishing it.
That's where MAT43 begins to look differently.
How MAT43 builds Regenerative Strength
Neuromuscular Engineering
DefinitionNeuromuscular Engineering is a systematic process for identifying the Force Tolerance of individual muscular components, measuring how they respond to increasing demands, and progressively developing their capacity according to defined response criteria.
The easiest way to understand why we call it Engineering is to think about something familiar:
A Building.Structural EngineeringA Building
Whole Structure
Individual ComponentsNeuromuscular EngineeringThe Human Body
Whole SystemIndividual Components
Why “Engineering”?
A structural engineer doesn't evaluate the strength of a building only by looking at the structure as a whole.
An engineer needs to understand those components, the forces being placed upon them, how they respond to those forces, and whether they have the capacity required of them.
The building depends on the capacity of the individual components within it.
MAT43 applies a similar engineering mindset to your muscular system.
Structural Engineering
Asks whether the individual components of a building can tolerate the forces placed upon them.
Neuromuscular Engineering
Asks whether the individual muscular components of your body can tolerate the forces required by your life.
Whole body Individual muscular components
MAT43 takes the movement apart.
Just as understanding a building requires looking beyond the structure as a whole, MAT43 looks beyond whole-body performance.
By evaluating individual muscular components, MAT43 can identify differences in capacity that successful movement may hide.

Individual Muscular Components
The body will show you what it can do. MAT43 wants to find what it can't do.
The load creates information.
Successfully completing an exercise tells us something:
You completed the exercise.But MAT43 asks another question:
What did those repetitions do to your system?Completing an exercise doesn't necessarily mean every muscular component successfully tolerated the demand.
MAT43 applies measurable force, evaluates the response using specific indicators, and uses defined response criteria to govern progression.
- 01Apply Force
Apply a measurable load to a specific muscular component.
- 02Check Indicators
Evaluate the response using specific indicators.
- 03Verify Response
Confirm the response meets defined criteria.
- 04Progress
Progress based on objective findings.
Greater capacity for what?
An engineer doesn't develop greater capacity in a building so it can become better at engineering tests.
Greater capacity allows the structure to better tolerate the real-world forces placed upon it.
The same principle applies to MAT43.
The goal isn't to make you better at MAT43.
The goal is to progressively develop greater muscular capacity for the real-world forces your body has to tolerate outside of MAT43.

Your body always finds a way
That's both the good news and the problem.
Your body is very good at keeping you moving. Every muscle has a limit to how much force it can successfully handle at a given point in time. When the force placed on a muscle exceeds that level, the muscle can become inhibited—or “shut down.” But your body still needs to move.
So it finds another way. It compensates.
The Good News
That's why you may still be able to walk, run, golf, play pickleball, train, work, or compete even when all of the muscles responsible aren't contributing the way they should.
Your body finds a way to keep playing short-handed.
That's the good news.
The Problem
The problem is that playing short-handed comes at a cost.
The muscles still contributing are now being asked to handle more of the demand.
Over time, that can contribute to the things you notice:
- Tightness
- Pain
- Weakness
- Recovery
- Problems
Eventually, those problems can begin changing the way you live.
- You play less.
- You avoid certain movements.
- You need more time to recover.
- You wonder how you'll feel tomorrow
That's when something happening inside your body begins affecting your quality of life.
Why does pain & tightness keep coming back?
Feeling better and changing what your muscles can handle aren't always the same thing.
There are many ways to change how your body feels. Stretching may reduce tightness. Massage or hands-on treatment may provide relief. Rest may calm something down. Exercise can make you stronger. And all of those things can have value. But changing a symptom…or simply making the body stronger…doesn't necessarily tell us how much force each specific muscle can successfully handle. That's the distinction MAT43 makes.
Force Tolerance
nounHow much physical demand can your muscles handle while continuing to function the way they should?
MAT43 doesn't simply add weight and hope you get stronger.
Resistance is introduced at a specific point in the MAT43 process…only after the muscles responsible have been evaluated and their function verified.
The weight isn't the system. It's one tool within the system.
We don't guess where to start
Without Order, There Is Chaos.
43Movements
21Primary Patterns
There is a starting point. There is an order. There are requirements before moving forward.
The body contains hundreds of muscles working together. Where you hurt isn't necessarily where the problem begins. That's why MAT43 doesn't start with the symptom.
MAT43 organizes human movement into 43 movements, including 21 primary movement patterns, and follows a patented hierarchy establishing where the process begins and the order in which it progresses.
Start here → Test this → Establish integrity → Challenge it → Verify it
The hierarchy tells us where to go. MAT43 determines what must happen before we move forward.
See How the Hierarchy WorksExercise with continuous feedback
MAT43 is exercise. But it doesn't use exercise in the same way conventional exercise programs typically do.
Exercise→Verify Response→Follow Criteria→Progress
The load creates information.
Each challenge provides information about the muscular system's current capacity. That information is checked against MAT43's indicators and criteria before progression continues.
The exercise isn't just the intervention. It also provides information.
How will you know MAT43 is working?
If the system is working, the data will show it.
MAT43 doesn't rely solely on how you feel when you walk out the door. We measure what's changing inside the system and track what that change means in your life.
