Movement vs. Linearity: Tradition and Modern Distortions

Ido Portal joins the show for the first time — delivering one of the most profound conversations we’ve ever had on movement, strength, injury, longevity, curiosity, self-education, and what it truly means to evolve as a human being.In this episode, Ido breaks down why “mastery” is a myth, why safe training is useless, and why real progress only happens when you’re willing to explore, fail, investigate, and live inside the question.We dive deep into the squat challenge, the hanging challenge, spinal waves, tribal movement, injury as a teacher, the limits of modern fitness culture, and why most “mobility” advice is missing the big picture.This isn’t a conversation about exercises.This is a conversation about changing yourself at the deepest level.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:48 - Movement Movement Origins02:55 - Mastery: A Controversial Term04:59 - The Importance of Asking Questions06:11 - Understanding Squat Technique08:12 - Pursuing More Movement11:40 - Eido's Challenges in Movement14:36 - Avoiding Injury in Movement Practices21:09 - Understanding Your Body Better23:53 - The Role of Curiosity in Movement29:40 - Reevaluating Past Teachings31:30 - Defining Strength in Movement38:50 - Movement Strategies for Athletes43:10 - Free Rope Flow Course Offer44:00 - Movement vs. Movement Quality44:55 - Underuse vs. Overuse in Movement49:27 - The Value of Seeking Novelty56:25 - Purpose of These Videos1:00:27 - The Role of Breathing1:07:45 - Exploring Strength Again1:16:37 - Flow State Through Movement Practice1:19:50 - Methylene Blue Purchase Recommendation1:24:53 - Strength is Never a Weakness1:26:25 - Visiting a Secluded Tribe1:32:20 - Movement's Contribution to Health1:39:26 - Exploring Additional Topics1:44:30 - Smooth Movement Techniques1:49:14 - Rope Flow Techniques1:53:12 - Insights from Old Soviet Training1:56:20 - Enjoying Food While Staying Lean1:58:40 - Plyometrics Explained2:04:30 - Movement Facilities Overview2:07:20 - Breathing and Movement Connection2:08:12 - Investigating Traditional Martial Arts2:17:27 - Finding Ido Online2:18:23 - Ido’s Bodyworker InsightsSpecial perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK Done! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com/PowerProject to receive 10% off our Panel, Check Up Panel or any custom panel, and use code POWERPROJECT for 10% off any lab!🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!
