Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Osgood-Schlatter's disease

Thanks for your advice! Uhm, i feel my IT band also contributes to my knee pain and foam rolling it does help. I'll do as you say Dreyth! Thank you so much!

Uhm, I'll try it too raptor, but I think, isometrics an hour before my work out will have little or no effect to my VMO. But I'll try.

Best thing I've found is this:

Eccentric Single Leg Knee Extensions (with toes pointed out).
I would recommend a bilateral version but I wouldn't know how to do them eccentrically with heavy weight.

Get on the machine. Set it to an easy weight, ilke 50lbs. Set the machine so you're only doing the final half of range of motion (some machines don't allow you to control the ROM so if this part confuses you; ignore it).

Start the lift with both feet and hold the lockout for half a second. Then, drop one of the legs while keeping the bad up with the other, and slowly lower it to the starting position.

LONG STORY SHORT: Get on the knee extension. Point your toes out. At the top of the ROM, do the "down portion" with one leg only.

Side note: I like to use a weight that's very hard for me to do the ENTIRE lift with one leg, but easy enough so that I can get 10 negative reps with a single leg.

Do about 10 reps of these negatives and your leg will have no choice but to really use the VMO! In addition, I have read online that it is much easier to change motor recruitment patters by using eccentric (negative) movements instead of concentric. You want to get the VMO to fire on quad movements so this should help.

It really works!!! I just tried it this afternoon and damn, I really felt my VMO! Thanks Dreyth!

WOW! Thanks! I'll definitely do that! I was only focusing in the concentric portion of the lift and it does not work that good.

Actually, I did stuff like this ^^^ and I almost got a cramp through the lateral side of the vastus lateralis (basically where the ITB goes through the leg) ... pretty weird. Like my body was like "hey I want to use the vastus lateralis... don't force me to use the VMO"

The pain disappeared when I foam rolled my abductor muscles and the insides of my quads. :)

interesting. i've had some patellar maltracking it seems for over 6 months. nothing helped relieve the pain more than foam rolling the IT bands/abductors.

Chances are the pain will disappear if you do some VMO activation as well.

What's the best VMO activator? And you are right i need to activate it cuase i feel that my Left VMO is always sleeping. It does not get sore. :(

Owel, there so many issues, i think, why my OSD came back. One, is that my knees are not tracking my toes properly because, I think, I shifted my foot stance. I had no arc in my feet due to my body weight concentrated to the inner side of my feet. Then I trained myself to put the weight on the outer side changing the force distribution in my legs. My OSD was "used to" having that feet with no arc and was used to tracking the toes of that feet. Now, the I push my knees out during my squats, the patella is not helping properly, IMO

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Osgood-Schlatter's disease

This disease in my left knee haven't been bothering me for about 3 years now, but it resurface after I did some atg squats, with strict form and weightlifting shoes (risto sports)). The pain is on the spot on the knee where I have the disease. :( Does anybody has any advice on how I'll strengthen my left knee, prehab or rehab? My right knee is fine when doing this kind of squat. I also notice that my left femur bone is shorter than my right and my left sheen bone is longer than my right. Hay. I hate my anatomy.

BTW, the pain disappears after a day or two.

What are your recommended weightlifting shoes? Is http://wlshoes.com/ a good review site for weightlifting shoes?

Dreyth, ya on my traps where I put the bar. It's just so painful. Thanks for your replies, Dreyth and PointerRyan!! I really appreciate it! i thought the pain wouldn't go! Hehehe.

Okay I learned a new thing to teach to my gym friends! Thanks again! I'll do as you recommend, ramping the weight up every time I go inside the gym! Thanks again! I found new hope.  :headbang: :headbang: :)

« on: March 10, 2012, 04:35:10 am »
I'm now trying to change my low bar squat to a high bar so that I could olympic squat more properly. The problem is, it hurts so much. Will the pain vanish as like how the pain in early low bar positioning gives after some time? Or will it not? Giving a conclusion that some are really born to do high bar squatting?

Program Review / Re: Become a Freak V2

become a freak v2 has many different programs made for different atheletes and different needs. there are two sections of workouts, weightlifting and  three levels for weightlifting and  'workouts' which includes pylos, explosive training and stuff. There are three levels for each of them and inside those there are different programs made for strength based and explosive based. the programs are very well put together. they have a video for almost every single workout which really helps. oh and even videos for warm ups and stretching. the software itself is very good. not sure about if the program is legit or not.

Yup but I don't understand the program when after 5 weeks the weights that will be lifted will decrease greatly. This is an under training (i think. This was my hypothesis why my jump didn't improved.) making your legs weak until you finish the program. imo, the programs inside the vert freak has no special structure etc. You could make one yourself without the specialized periodization shit. Just have a strength block and a peaking block while lifting moderate-heavy weights all through out to maintain  the muscles mass.

But the basic formula for anyone who aspires to dunk is....  :ibsquatting: + :ibjumping:= increase in vert height. It is the most effective template and it is FREE!!! It is really FREE! Never by any porngram from Adam Porngrammaker just  :ibsquatting: and  :ibjumping:. That's all you need folks. Personally, fellow the templates in the performance training blog and you'll be good.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Elbow pain
« on: May 07, 2011, 11:28:23 pm »
I've felt this elbow pain after doing close grip Bench press. But I'm doing that exercise for several weeks now. I really think the source of my pain comes from my PE class, jiu jitsu. That class is full of grapling. I think my muscles in my fore arm (muscles that contracts the fingers) are tight. I tried to strecth those muscles but my elbow still has pain.
