Fascia Training
Every week I work out at the gym, I have to look away when I see people even trainers lifting weights on a system/body/structure that is not balanced.
Loading a body when there are lines of tension and compensations in every direction leads to disaster. All I see is an accident waiting to happen. It’s not if an accident is going to happen it is when it will happen.
Fast Forward
What the next thing I hear in my clinic is I wasn’t doing anything, and I listened to this snap, clunk or some weird noise followed by pain. Or I wasn’t lifting anything heavy or …..
Styles of training
Some trainers/athletes wake up one morning and say hey I am going to do Olympic lifting today without proper training and form this, in my opinion, is dangerous. What you think you see and what your body is doing is often very different.
This type of training is an example of doing a movement when your body is not ready. Any lifting, weight training yoga or pilates has to be performed with intention and awareness of your body position.
Joint Training
If you are doing ballistic movement training, which uses speed, compensations, and torsion of your body. This style of training is a recipe for injury and pain. It uses your joints instead of activating the muscle to move at a slow tempo. Improvement and muscles development will be slow if at all.
Olympic Training
If you are ready to do proper Olympic Lifting, train with the best there are a lot of experts out there one I recommend is Chad Ikei, he can Skype or zoom you in to analyze your lifting or if you want to go to Hawaii, definitely stop in to be trained by Chad. http://ikeisportshawaii.com/
How do you know if your body is ready for training, pilates, yoga or load under stress?
1.Do your shoulders round forward?
2.Do your shoes wear out evenly at the bottom?
3.Is your neck in front of your body? One of the most common neck positions due to sitting, smartphones, and gaming.
The 21-century posture is slumped over.
