Most back issues come from avoiding motion, not doing too much of it.

If you want better spine health, improved movement quality, and cleaner force transfer, train the spine the way it was built: to move.

Strengthen Your Core with the Chinese Plank

[Josh Bryant @joshstrength]

Leading sports scientist, Vladimir Zatsiorsky, has identified three ways to develop maximal tension (and therefore, size and strength) in a muscle:

The Repetition Method: Higher reps with submaximal weights to spark muscle hypertrophy. More size equals better leverage. Someone with a pancake chest pushes the bar farther on the bench press than a lifter with a barrel chest assuming same arm length. The literature unanimously agrees that a bigger muscle is a stronger one. Training in “bodybuilding” rep ranges will get you stronger—anecdotal evidence supports this and many of top strength athletes off-season train high reps, giving their central nervous systems a break and for hypertrophy.

The Dynamic Method: Force = Mass x Acceleration. The key is violently exerting as much force possible into the barbell with each repetition, not pumping out res. This is Compensatory Acceleration Training (CAT). Lots of bodybuilders do this unknowingly when doing a set of 12 reps – the first 3-4 reps are explosive, while the next 8-9 reps lose steam. Knowingly or not, they are getting beneficial adaptations from the dynamic method for strength gains in the first few reps. Your first rep is always your strongest – from that point on you are getting weaker – so exerting maximum force from the get-go can help you increase muscle tension.

The Max Effort Method: Lifting weights over 90 percent for 1-3 reps. This is how most powerlifters train when prepping for a meet. It’s very intense but doesn’t involve very many repetitions, providing some of the same benefits as the Dynamic Method. Bodybuilders like Ronnie Coleman have used the max effort method as little as three weeks out from the Olympia.

Strength is primarily gained by lifting heavy weight for low reps and lots of sets, mostly as a result of adaptations in the central nervous system (CNS). This maximizes neural efficiency or, in other words, gets you more coordinated at the movement. Greater coordination leads to leads to more efficiency of a lift, allowing all participating muscles to more fully contribute to each rep. It takes longer to get strong with <80% but happens faster with CAT

“Similar to whether a cup should be considered half-empty or half-full, there are situations in which we focus on absence of evidence, others in which we focus on evidence. In some cases one can be confirmatory, not others-it depends on the risks. Take smoking, which was, at some stage, viewed as bringing small gains in pleasure and even health (truly, people thought it was a good thing). It took decades for its harm to become visible. Yet had someone questioned it, he would have faced the canned-naive-academized and faux-expert response "do you have evidence that this is harm-ful?" (the same type of response as "is there evidence that polluting is harmful?").

As usual, the solution is simple, an extension of via negativa and Fat Tony's don't-be-a-sucker rule: the non-natural needs to prove its benefits, not the natural. according to the statistical principle outlined earlier that nature is to be considered much less of a sucker than humans. In a complex domain, only time—a long time— is evidence.

For any decision, the unknown will preponderate on one side more than the other. The "do you have evidence" fallacy, mistaking evidence of no harm for no evidence of harm, is similar to the one of misinterpreting NED (no evidence of disease) for evidence of no disease. This is the same error as mistaking absence of evidence for evidence of absence, the one that tends to affect smart and educated people, as if education made people more confirmatory in their responses and more liable to fall into simple logical errors”

Nagging elbow pain that won't go away is almost always the elbow compensating for a stuck shoulder.
The elbow rotates as it bends — and that rotation requires the shoulder to move first. A stuck shoulder makes the elbow over-rotate every rep.
Two shoulder rotation moves that finally give the elbow some relief.

I've been reading up on the Minimal Effective Dose for training. After finishing this book, here's my top takeaways:

1. 20-30 min sessions done consistently are just as good as a few 45-60 min sessions each week

2. Just a few sets per movement each week is enough to make meaningful strength gains over time

3. 3 20-min sessions plus normal golf activities will put every golfer over the recommended 150 min of exercise per week

4. Shorter workouts help eliminate the mental barrier that stops you from exercising

5. There are many health benefits even with a small amount of strength training

6. Something is always better than nothing
