Why I Focus on Squat, Grip, and Get-Up for Longevity
Most movement is good, but if you want the highest return on investment for your health, you need to master the "Big Three": the Squat, the Grip, and the Get-Up.
In this video, Dr. Chris Leib (DPT, CSCS) breaks down why these three categories provide the ultimate foundation for a body that stays durable across a lifetime.
The Breakdown
The Squat: It’s more than an exercise; it’s a fundamental human transition. From a resting position to a heavy lift, it’s the ultimate expression of lower-body utility.
The Grip: It’s your first point of contact with the world. Through irradiation, your grip influences the tension and stability of your entire system.
The Get-Up: The bridge between the floor and standing. It’s the gold standard for maintaining mobility and autonomy as we age.
The Goal: Simple, adaptable, and scalable movement that builds a body that isn't fragile.
