Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Squat Narrow vs Wide stance and Vertical/speed
« on: September 26, 2017, 04:56:58 am »
squatting is GPP for jumping and running. use the stance that is most comfortable. there's nothing inherently superior about a narrower stance. having aching knees will have a much greater impact on your speed and jumping ability than small changes in recruitment caused by your feet being closer together or farther apart.

^^^ yep. beggars the imagination, especially given what those guys put their bodies through. one of the articles i posted talks about a gene related to collagen. people with a rare-ish variant (5% of pop IIRC) basically never suffer soft tissue injuries, even traumatic ones.

^^^agree.

I had a lot of aches and pains until i increased fat intake (among other measures) which i think improved T levels which lead to less aches and pains all round. But not sure if that would apply in your case

interesting. i don't exactly keep fat intake low, but might be time to start food journaling again. my diet here isn't the best. it's not bad but like i was literally thinking about going "paleo" again as i was falling asleep last night. just to see.

Injury is a fact of life for most athletes, but some professionals—and some weekend warriors, for that matter—just seem more injury-prone than others. But what is it about their bodies that makes the bones, tendons, and ligaments so much more likely to tear or strain—bad luck, or just poor preparation?

A growing body of research suggests another answer: that genetic makeup may play an important role in injury risk.

anyone have access to this paper and care to share? acole? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25536480

Baar’s research found that when they combined vitamin C (important for collagen synthesis) with glycine (one of the most common amino acids in collagen) there was an increase in strength of ligaments the engineered in the laboratory.

These data suggest that adding gelatin to an intermittent exercise program improves collagen synthesis and could play a beneficial role in injury prevention and tissue repair.

Frequent injuries have been a fact of my life since I started playing sports. I'm not talking about traumatic injuries -- I've only had one of those, a separated shoulder, and it was from a fall that would have hurt most people -- but more strains and sprains and aches that just always seem to be there in one part of my body or other. As a person who loves exercising and playing sports, this is incredibly frustrating. There has to be a reason, whether or not I can do anything about it.

My interest in training came out of an interest in physical therapy that itself came out of spraining my ankle six goddamn times. Time to get back into PT mode. This thread will be a repository for things I read about injury-proneness and what to do about it.

fully admit that i have not been following the mechanics conversation closely. but every time i see a "he could be better if just fixed X or Y" in reference to a truly elite athlete, my instinct is to roll my eyes. usain bolt is the fastest person in recorded history. there is no telling what "fixing" any aspect of his form would do. maybe he starts the way he does or holds his upper body the way he does because to do otherwise would lead to injury or be uncomfortable and slow him down in some way we can't be aware of. it's hard to argue that he hasn't maxed out on his talent: he won almost every race he entered for nine years and set two huge world records!

just like people who bitched about randy moss smoking weed. he was the greatest of all time! if he hadn't smoked weed, maybe he'd have gotten fed up with football and quit! weed sure didn't slow him down as he was streaking past safeties like they were standing still!

pet peeve.
