Hello and welcome to the Protean Performance System!
I chose the word "Protean" to describe this system, as I feel it a) sounds cool, and b) perfectly sums up what I believe to be the hallmark of complete physical fitness/human performance. That is: adaptability, versatility, and resilience.
My approach to training is inspired by the fictional superhero Batman. Batman is a character who has developed himself to "peak" physical and mental condition. To do this, he is typically depicted as training in multiple disciplines, for strength, endurance, mobility, and mental prowess.
Batman must be able to go toe to toe with an opponent, then chase them across rooftops, talk his way through a hostage situation, and still have a steady-enough hand to disarm a bomb. Being "strong" alone does not make you Batman. Having great endurance does not make you Batman.
This is a concept I believe can be applied to anyone. The most performant human is someone who can thrive in any situation. Yet, the majority of training programs seem to ignore this notion and instead hone-in on just a few aspects of performance.
Many people looking to "get fit" will take up what is effectively a powerlifting regime: performing only squats, deadlifts, and bench press. As we will see, this is not only mistaken for completely ignoring other facets of fitness (such as cardio or mobility),but also for training only a few constrained movement patterns. These compound movements may be a step above resistance machines for their functional, compound nature. but only just! In the real world, we never place huge loads on our back, and we rarely push against anything when lying on the floor.
None of which is to say the big lifts are not useful. They're actually amazing! But they only represent one small piece of the puzzle.
