Happy Birthday to my favorite person on earth!

You make life fun, weird, and full of love. From adventures to lazy days with Honey - I wouldn’t trade a second of it.

Thanks for doing life with me! 🤟🏼

After she stopped laughing, she did say yes.
I love you Robin 💙

More weight is more fun. But for many of us, not always the best way to progress through our training. Wise words from
——————————————————
•PROGRESSIVE-OVER STIMULUS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The concept of progressive overload should be renamed to progressive over stimulus, as i believe that's the mindset that will ultimately more people towards their goal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, I'm a powerlifter, so if anyone understands the importance of loading more weight on the bar, it's me. My childhood was reading blood and guts, and to this day my favorite bodybuilders out there are brutally fu***ng strong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But for most of the people, most of the time, they should look at their training as a pursuit of progressive OVER-STIMULUS rather than a pursuit of progressive OVERLOAD.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adding weight is a form of stimulus but not the ONLY form of stimulus. Identifying rest periods, density, volume, tempo, exercise selection, training frequency are all factors that can be manipulated in the pursuit of achieving your desired outcome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The more variables you can identify, the more you can control, the more you can stimulate the more you can adapt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After four years of telling myself it was the year I’d make a game, I finally did. Just had to move away from Dallas first. Can’t make it too easy, right?

Great quote from
We so often get caught up in the "best exercise" for this or that, biomechanics, and diagnosis that we forget we are treating a human being. The research is fairly clear on the simple stuff

How many are you doing well at?

from .jacob.harden showing an awesome video of why you should lift with your legs!

WHY YOU SHOULD LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS

You've all heard that you should lift with your legs and not your back. But I feel like no one ever explains why?😞 So I had some 🎬 editing fun with this video from my buddy .price.dc out in Houston.
You see, it all comes down to physics.📐 You have this thing called a "moment arm". This is the shortest distance from the axis of rotation (hip joint here) and the line of force from whatever your lifting. A longer moment arm means the weight is relatively heavier and more strenuous to lift because the load is further away. Shorter is the opposite.
To understand better hold a ⛃10 pound weight by your side and then extend your arm fully. You'll find the latter to be heavier because the weight is further away.
❌So when you keep the load far away, it's harder to lift, more stress on your back, and harder to keep a stable spinal position. Not good!
✅Instead, get the load as close as possible, get tight and stable, and lift from there. That may have you squatting it up like the video or doing more of a deadlift motion. Either way, you want that weight as close as possible.
Share this with a friend and let's spread the word on better lifting mechanics. No more injuries from bad technique!

Aging induces physiological changes in skeletal muscle, including defective mitochondrial energetics, atrophy, loss of strength and power, and insulin resistance. Exercise training is a potent countermeasure to improve glucoregulation by increasing skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and mitochondri...

Warmer weather means golf season is upon us! But for too many of my office’s patients that also means back pain season. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
⠀
The most common golf related area that we see walk (or limp) into our office during this time of the year is the low back. But that makes sense! After all, when you hit your driver you are achieving almost 90% of your peak muscular effort, increasing the compressive load on your spine by up to 8X your body weight! The physics of a golf swing means that after 18 holes or a couple of hours on the range it's no surprise at all that your back takes a toll. ⠀
⠀
There are things that you can do to prevent these forces from benching you during golf season! Your body relies on spinal stabilizers, particularly the Transverse Abdominus and Multifidii muscles to support your spine during the golf swing, and every other activity in life. If these stabilizers are weak, they cant handle the brunt of that swing force, thereby putting more of it on your spine to handle. If you ask your spine to handle all of that force for 65+ strokes per game you're looking at a perfect scenario for pain and dysfunction. If that sounds like you at the end of a round, it just might be these muscles at fault! Ensure your stabilizers are strong enough for the job with stability exercises designed to target these muscles such as the Bird-Dog and the Plank.⠀
⠀
Make sure that you also counteract the repetitive stress effects to your soft tissue structures with diligence in your foam rolling and lacrosse ball use. Foam rolling the Thoracic Spine is a great way to decrease tissue tone and increase T-Spine mobility for those swings. Because if you're not achieving that swing mobility from your T-Spine, you'll be getting it from elsewhere. Using your Lacrosse ball in the QL muscle and above the SI joint helps to release these structures allowing the hips to move freely and the torso to move interdependently of the pelvis. A mobile but stable body makes for a happy swing. A happy swing makes for good golf⛳ @ MOVE

See this white stuff here?
This is called Fascia. It’s dense connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, individual muscle fibers, bone, organs, blood and lymph vessel that you have in your body. It helps to make up your joints and supports and suspends everything in space. It is involved in so many things within the body.. you could say it’s pretty important.
So important in fact, that when your fascia is tweaked or distorted in any way, it can cause pain, weakness, dysfunction, and many different neurological symptoms.
Ankle sprains that never seemed to fully heal, stabbing pain in the foot when you take your first few steps in the morning, long-standing shoulder issues from sports, back pain of all types, range of motion deficits, weird tingly feelings.. these things and many more could be fascial in their origin!
It takes a proper assessment to determine if your fascia is contributing to your dysfunction. If you or someone you know has had issues that have maybe even been looked at but haven’t gotten better, look to this stringy white stuff. It may just be the answer 🕸
