@LenMacPT That study has loads of issues.

How to get Instagram famous in fitness/rehab: a guide

1. Speak only in absolutes and ignore nuance.
2. Create ridiculous exercises that prey on the public’s ignorance.
3. Block people who disagree with you so they can’t have a discussion on your post.
4. Use tons of jargon.

@ForelliFlorian @bel_loic @LenMacPT @hollysilverspt @doclsmack @prller @erikMeira @mickwhughes @rwilly2003 @thebfrpros Of course. Thinking outside the box can be fun.

@ForelliFlorian @bel_loic @LenMacPT @hollysilverspt @doclsmack @prller @erikMeira @mickwhughes @rwilly2003 @thebfrpros Analgesic effects post bfr allows better recruitment at heavier loads. It’s a frequent strategy I teach with when pain is involved.

@bel_loic @ForelliFlorian @LenMacPT @hollysilverspt @doclsmack @prller @erikMeira @mickwhughes @rwilly2003 @thebfrpros And in addition - a systematic review and MA we have under review also refutes the ROS hypothesis. It’s mechanical tension. Whether it is low load or high load mechanical tension drives hypertrophic adaptation. Whether the hormones play a mediation role in other tissues is TBD.

@bel_loic @ForelliFlorian @LenMacPT @hollysilverspt @doclsmack @prller @erikMeira @mickwhughes @rwilly2003 Hey - you can tag @thebfrpros as that one I’m more active on. Nonetheless the hormone hypothesis for bfr was recently refuted in Laurentino 2022. We shouldn’t look to the hormones as a way to measure effectiveness of a stimulus.

Rehab/fitness tip to remember:

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.

Push the boundaries of your current limits (capacity) and watch them grow over time.

If you aren’t challenging yourself in your rehab or strength training, you’re (probably) wasting your time.

Continuing education should be pursued not because it’s mandated, but because it helps keep providers current on various approaches to rehab. With that being said, some courses are better than others in addressing approaches with merit. PT CEU Industry needs a central authority!

[Nicholas Rolnick @nickrolnick]

Contrary to popular opinion, setting the foundations for high level performance can begin very early in the post-injury period. Whereas strength is an essential quality, challenging force absorption/production can and should be individually scaled early to set that groundwork!
