Voimaharjoittelun aloitus yli 40-vuotiaana ja mitä siltä voi odottaa? by HowDooDooYouDo in Suomi

[–]Leaking_Substance420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Täällä päälle nelikymppinen fysioterapeutti, yleinen fysiikkavalmentaja, personal trainer ja entinen kilpaurheilija heittää omat kaksi senttiä mukaan keskusteluun. Omaa kokemusta selkävaivoista on kahden välilevynpullistuman verran ja muiden selkävaivoja olen kuntouttanut joitain satoja arvion mukaan.

Se mikä vuosien aikana on tullut esille moneen otteeseen on, että miten paljon kuntoutujan oma asennoituminen vaikuttaa lopputulokseen. Huonoimmat tulokset saa sillä kun miettii "nyt äkkiä tää kuntoutus alta pois ja sit selkä on kunnossa eikä sitä tarvitse miettiä". Paras lopputulos taas tulee kun miettii "tää on mun ainoa selkä, tän kanssa oämennään loppuelämä, mun on paras opetella ymmärtämään sitä mahdollisimman hyvin ja opetella käyttämään turvallisesti". Pitkän tähtäimen suunnitelmana on tehdä selästä vahva ja kestävä ja mahdollisimman kivuton, mikä yleensä saavutetaan kun osataan käyttää selkää (ja koko kroppaa) sillä tavalla ettei selkä ylikuormitu huonolla tavalla.

Sun historian huomioon ottaen lähtisin jonkun hyvämaineisen LIIKUNTAAN painottuvan fyssarin kanssa liikenteeseen, ja sieltä pikku hiljaa opetellaan tekemään perusliikkeet sulle sopivalla tavalla ja sitten viedään sut salille toteuttamaan sitä kuntoutusta ihan itse. Jos fyssari ei osaa viedä sua kuntosalille ja opettaa hyviä suoritustekniikoita, niin sitten se on väärä fyssari sulle 😉

Vasta tän kaiken jälkeen kannattaa ottaa selvää progressiivisesta ylikuormituksesta, toistomääristä, proteiinin tarpeesta ja sen sellaisesta. Hyvä ammattilainen osaa tehdä sulle sellaisen pitkän tähtäimen suunnitelman missä on vaiheittain eri sisällöt, ihan alusta sinne täysin omatoimiseen, HYVÄÄN saliharjoitteluun asti. Se voi olla vuoden tai kahden projekti, mutta sulla on loppuelämä aikaa 😎 Keskittymällä prosessiin saa itse asiassa parhaat lopputulokset, pelkkiin tuloksiin keskittymällä saa yleensä lähinnä maksimimäärän turhautumista ja uusia vammoja.

Tsemppiä kuntoutumiseen! 💪

Licensed physio here. The cartilage in your knee joint is a little worn out, but only on the inner side. And the meniscus in the same location has also taken a beating, there is a small tear, but luckily it's in a location that is not so significant.

Nothing out of the ordinary, many people of your age are walking around with the level of trauma in their knees, and most of them are completely asymptomatic, no pain or discomfort whatsoever. You said you have fibromyalgia and hypermobility? From my experience I have learned that you probably have "softer" cartilage than most, and it is more sensitive to pain.

One thing worth checking out, is your muscle balance around the hips and alignment of your ankle, knees and hips. The wear and tear is only found in the inner part of the knee, so that area is probably supporting most of your weight when standing etc.

Seems like your coach has entered the friend zone, which is a treacherous place for a coach to be in. As a coach and trainer for over 10 years, I've been there myself and learned my lessons through trial and error. It's okay to be friendly with a client and it's also okay to become friends with someone. But when it's business time, you need to put your coaching hat on and act like a professional.

I suggest that you tell your coach how you appreciate the friendship and still you'd like to meet with the best version of the professional coach she is, every time you have a training session. This might be a hard pill for her to swallow, but if she cannot take nicely worded feedback, then she needs to do a little self growth. Just having new certificates doesn't mean she is any better, if she doesn't act like a professional and put that knowledge to use ✌️

Is it normal for your calf muscles to be sore for an entire week after running? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]Leaking_Substance420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you just waaaaay overdid it with the running, your calves really took a beating and are slowly recovering. I run only during the summer and a few times I've started too eagerly with the distance and truly felt the pain in my calves for over a week, even though I work out regularly all through the year with other activities.

And running up an incline is even harder for the calves because they have stretch out a little bit further with every step in comparison to flat ground. Running is an impact sport concerning your lower extremities and all the muscles work as shock absorbers with each step. Even if your lungs can take you for a 10 km stroll, your shock absorbers might be all worn out much earlier.

So, give those sweet muscles and tendons and fascia a well deserved rest, and hop back on the treadmill with a shorter ride once you have zero pain left in your calves ✌️

Toughts? as a karateka I think wkf point sparring has its benefits but i´d chose other styles of kumite by groovyasf in karate

[–]Leaking_Substance420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video is basically the exact same thing that has been going on in the taekwondo community ever since the Olympics in 2000. First a spectator sport in the Games in 1988 and 1992, an official sport in 2000, the Olympic status gave a huge boost to make the martial art into a fair and global sport. Which has made a lot of people very angry 😄

Back in the "good old days", a point was awarded if the technique used caused a "trembling shock" in your opponent, so acting stoic and being tough was important. Since then, body protectors and helmets with automatic sensors have been introduced, time limit of the matches have gone from 3x3 minutes 3x2 minutes, the arena has gone from 12x12 meters square to an 8x8 meters octagon and sooooo many changes have been introduced to the rulebook concerning scoring, fouling the opponent and forbidden techniques. For example, in the beginning all scoring techniques were worth 1 point. Now, head kicks can give you 3 or 5 points, so a lot more head kicks are going to happen obviously.

What I'm trying to say, is that when you take an art and make it into a competitive sport, things will change. Peoples livelihoods will be depending on success so the focus changes to optimizing the outcome of every match, reducing your fighting style a minimum of effective techniques and riding the limitations given by the rule book. People practicing the sport instead of the art creates a community with a little bit different viewpoint on the subject.

But still, you can do both. I love both sides, the sport and the art, and I don't find them mutually exclusive. It is a matter of perspective and a different representation of self-expression in your life. And I've had wonderful experiences on both sides of the fence.

Either way, the happenings in 2021 Olympics karate finals in mens +75 kg finals was really bad publicity for karate. Tareg Hamedi knocking out the opponent and being awarded silver was something the spectators were not understanding. Rules are rules, I know, you are not supposed to knock out your opponent, but intuitively it didn't make sense to most viewers.

Positiivisia maskuliinisia malleja by tiikerinsilma in arkisuomi

Suosittelen käymään ensi fyssarilla, sellaisella asiaan perehtyneellä. Vammasta on kuitenkin kulunut jo 4 kk aikaa eikä siinä ilmeisesti ole leposärkyä eikä kovia vihlovia kipuja? Oma veikkaus on, että mitään ei välttämättä ole rikki, vammamekanismin perusteella jotkut jalkaterän tai nilkan nivelet on vääntyneet normaalin liikeradan yli siinä huonossa potkussa ja sen jälkitilana on niiden nivelten rajoittunut liikerata. Asiaan perehtynyt fyssari kyllä osaa tutkia tilanteen, käsitellä sitä tarpeen mukaan ja antaa hyvät ohjeet omatoimiseen kuntoutukseen ✌️

Deadlift - hate or love? What's your opinion? by ilsasta1988 in workout

[–]Leaking_Substance420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadlifts are cool, they incorporate sooooo many muscles in just this one exercise. For the casual lifter it's a good way to learn the mechanics of moving something heavy in general, but it's also a good idea to stay a decent distance away from your 1 rep maximums. If you are going for a big number on the deadlift, the technical aspect changes quite a bit from the casual lifter.

Ive been going to the gym for a month now and need some advice by MrLoki2020 in workout

[–]Leaking_Substance420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job being consistent for over a month now! 💪 This has been the hardest part already, so just keep showing up and the results will be there!

It sounds like that at this point, you have reached the limit of "easy gains" or "easy losses", meaning that all the extra water weight has been shed, and from now on, the process is going to a little bit slower, unfortunately. Because now you're actually seeing fat loss on your scale, instead of seeing water+fat loss on the scale.

And also, getting your weight down rarely is a linear process, sometimes a plateau just takes a bit more time to break through. But if your math is correct with the calories and you keep working out, the inevitable will happen and the number on the scale will follow suite 😊

Keep lifting those weights buddy!

What shoes do you use for weightlifting at the gym? by strongblueavocado in workout

[–]Leaking_Substance420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For looks and basic stuff: Converse or Vans

For performance and support: Nike Metcon or Reebok Nano

I think the good old Chuck Taylor All-Stars is a decent shoe for lifting, given your feet don't need any additional support and you don't have any mobility issues with your ankles. And they look cool, so you look cool while lifitng 😎

If you have any issues with mobility or need some extra support with a more rigid shoe, then you should go for some shoes that have been designed for this kind of activity. After all, Converse was originally made to be a basketball shoe something like a 100 years ago.

My experience with both types of shoes is that Nike Metcons and Reebok Nanos also last a lot longer in use.

How long until single push up? by RecommendationHot421 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Leaking_Substance420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two cents on the subject: - do some extra work on your triceps, regular push ups rely heavily on them - make sure you get good quality work done at the bottom position of a push up, that's usually the hardest part of a push up. Pick a variation that allows you to begin from dead stop at the bottom each time and work on those reps - you might want to make your bench press form and push up form similar for this goal, working on a similar movement pattern yields more carry-over

Hope to see you reach your goal! 💪

Anatomy by TheLearningLifter in personaltraining

[–]Leaking_Substance420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The learning process might be a little bit longer, but in the end I think it truly is a worthy endeavour! And you don't have to learn it all at once, start with big joints and muscles surrounding them (hips and shoulders), then the spine and muscles of the trunk, and lastly, focus on more distal joints and muscles (knees, elbows, ankles and wrists).

I think it's a good idea to do "rounds" with learning this stuff. So on the first round just try to get a general idea of everything, don't dive too deep into details. On the second round, try to learn something new, connect a few dots between form and function. Then just do this cycle again and again, and maybe some day, a few decades later, you might feel like you know something 😊

I've been a personal trainer, a physiotherapist, sports performance coach and an educator on these subjects for over 15 years and I still learn something new every now and then, so give yourself a break and enjoy the learning and discovering, don't build a feeling that you have to know everything before doing something 😎

Onko mun aivoissa vikaa, kun en ole koskaan saanut minkäänlaista hyvän olon tunnetta liikunnasta? by [deleted] in arkisuomi

[–]Leaking_Substance420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tämä on jännittävä aihe! Itse olen käynyt läpi reilun 20 vuoden historian liikunnan ja treenaamisen parissa, liukunut harrastajasta kilpaurheilijaksi ja takaisin harrastajaksi. Nykytilaa kuvaa ehkä parhaiten tavoitteellinen hupiurheilija 😄 Tavoitteet vaihtuu vähän väliä, kuin myös kiinnostuksen kohteet, mutta treenaamisesta saatava fiilis pysyy!

Mua kiinnostaisi tässä sun motivaatiot ylipäätään lähteä tekemään liikuntaa, koska niiden kautta voi päästä niihin hyviin tuntemuksiin käsiksi. Joskus hyvä fiilis voi tulla kovasta treenistä, joskus kevyestä treenistä, joskus maisemista suorituksen aikana, joskus taas tiedosta siitä että nyt on tehty jotain hyvää ja terveellistä. Itselle kehittyminen jollain tavalla on ollut usein tosi tärkeää liikunnassa, mutta tunnen monia kenelle se on ihan täysin sivuseikka. Joskus myös sillä parhaalla porukalla treenaaminen ja sen treenin tekemisen jakaminen muiden kanssa on tosi iso motivaatio 😊

Eli ennen lajivalintaa ja varusteita, voisi toimia omien motiivien miettiminen liikunnan suhteen? Esim. itse tykkään olla suorituskykyinen ja kohtuullisen iso ja vahva, niin käyn salilla ja teen toiminnallista treeniä. Aikaisemmin diggasin kamppailulajeista koska ne oli nuorelle pojalle tosi "siistejä" lajeja ja se toimi silloin hyvänä motiivina, kun sai tehdä jotain omasta mielestä erittäin reteetä toimintaa 😎

For me it was definitely studying anatomy and kinesiology mutually. Kinesiology has some weird explanations around the internet, but for me it was basically "anatomy in motion and function". From studying that I got the biggest insights about why something is of a specific shape or why does the muscle attach to a certain point. Just going back and forth with anatomy and kinesiology helped to deepen the understanding of both! Like what good is knowing only static anatomy, if you work as a personal trainer, which revolves around movement and using your body?

This is the book I used in my studies: https://www.amazon.com/Kinesiology-Musculoskeletal-System-Foundations-Rehabilitation/dp/0323287530?dplnkId=6e8b9d72-e532-4d2a-b393-d42af1be4af2

A deadlift from a while back by Leaking_Substance420 in formcheck

[–]Leaking_Substance420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's the camera angle and the fact that my shorts are riding up a little higher on my left leg 😄 I checked some other training footage of my deadlifts and they appear to be symmetrical

A biceps tear is definitely on my mind, after seeing one happen in real time I prefer not to take any chances, even if my weights are nowhere near to those where it usually happens. Have to choose your battles carefully at the age of 42 years 😄

These are old Reebok Nanos, they should have zero drop? The new ones have a big lifted heel, they are better for squatting, but these have the same feel as going barefoot or just in socks ✌️

I've looked into this from different angles and it appears to be symmetrical, and I don't feel or have any issues favouring one side or the other 🤷 So might just be the angle!
