Greg Pignataro doesn’t just coach strength—he teaches your nervous system how to feel safe again. This isn’t about pushing through pain. It’s about learning to listen. And it turns out, your tight hamstrings, chronic back issues, or frozen shoulder may have more to do with your unspoken emotions than your training splits.
1. Nordic Curls Are a Nervous System Test It’s not just about strength—it’s about trust. Greg calls the Nordic curl the “body’s trust fall” because it demands full lengthened tension at the knee. If you can’t handle it, your body shuts it down to protect you. This same mechanism applies to emotional safety: without trust, the system won’t release.
2. Emotional Pain Hides in Physical Form Greg’s work with Enlightened Health and the NuFit technology has shown that pain often persists not because of structural damage, but because of stored emotional trauma. Muscles remember what the mind won’t process.
3. Shrink the Feedback Loop You’re going to relapse into old behaviors. But progress is about recognizing the pattern faster, catching the old program in real time, and choosing differently. Awareness doesn’t mean perfection. It means power.
So What’s the Point?: Pain is not the enemy—it’s the messenger your nervous system sends when your emotions go unheard.
Your Next EASIEST Step: Pay attention to where your body feels tight or restricted today—and ask yourself, “What might I be avoiding emotionally?”
