Founders Meeting Announcement

Unlock the programming code for reactive strength—join us for our next Founders Meeting, where we’ll dive into the science and application of Oscillatory Isometric Muscle Actions (OIMAs).

OIMAs are a new programmable element of treatment and training.

Date and Time: Friday, March 13, 2026 at Noon EST (US and Canada).
For those who cannot attend, this meeting will be recorded and posted for you.

What We’ll Cover:

  • What Are OIMAs?

    • How are they distinct from holding (HIMAs) or pushing (PIMAs) isometrics.

  • Treatment and Training Examples

  • Stimulated Effects Through Our Inside-Out Special Strengths Model

  • Execution/Load/Intent to Skew Effects

    • Bias toward neurology or biology.

  • Programming Integration
