Natty Power

Primary reason for naming this training method as “Natty” or “Natural”, lays in the fact that Nature designed our bodies in a certain way, which is universal and unchangeable. The form came from the necessity of functionality to perform essential movements and everyday tasks. We must respect natural geometry and natural kinematics of our body and comply with Nature’s design to be able to get maximal benefit from the training process. Nature demands you to jump, to run, to lift heavy stuff, to carry objects, to push, to pull, to throw things up in the air, to slam them down on the ground, etc. These are big natural movements and should be practiced regularly. Power built in these movements can be easily transferred to any other sport specific movements or daily activities. On the other side, weird movements, unnatural limb angles and body positions can not be considered as natural and should be avoided in training.

Secondary reason for naming method as “Natty” is that acquired power needs to be naturally effective, functional, balanced and efficient. Nature has blessed human body with great capabilities for generation of dynamical forces and kinetic energy. We will work on improvement of these capabilities the way Nature intended us to do. If you jump, you should be able to jump high. If you run, you should be able to run fast. If you lift, you should be able to lift heavy objects. If you can lift heavy objects, you should be able to carry them. If you can carry heavy objects, you should be able to cover some reasonable distance. Ideally, you would perform all these tasks equally well. What is not natural is: to become muscular, but not strong enough; to become exceptionally strong, but unable to effectively run or jump; to run fast, but unable to sustain the speed; to lift heavy all the time; to never lift heavy; to exhaust your body all the time; to never exhaust your body. Nature knows the best what is good for us.

Tertiary reason for naming method as “Natty” is because it is optimally suited for natty athletes, thus, athletes who are not on steroids. Using performance enhancing drugs is against the Nature and certainly not healthy. There is absolutely no need to consume any kind of chemicals, especially if you are not a professional competing athlete. The truth is that with steroids every athlete would get better results and would get them faster, but is it worth ending with a toxic body? What is more important then health? Rather stay natty and be persistent in following Natty Power method. Then expect to reach significant levels of power, strength and speed, even if you are a natty amateur athlete.

These are the 3 reasons for naming this training method as Natty Power. As you can see, it is all about being in tune with the Mother Nature. Choosing natural approach is always wise and safe, not just in training, but in life in general. For example, if you practice only natural movements and lifts within natural limits, you will probably stay injury free throughout your entire training career. On the other side, weird unnatural movements and unnaturally heavy weights could only bring you pain and eventually catastrophic injuries.

Many other benefits are possible when you comply with Nature’s laws and Nature’s standards. For example, if you train by Natty Power method and eat natural food, your body will not be just powerful and healthy, but also lean and muscular. Although body aesthetics will not be in our focus, handsome physique as a side effect is not a bad thing at all.
