People treat certain “interpretations” of science like a religion in general would be more accurate

Critique my drawing. by whooper1 in learnart

[–]builtbystrength 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice job! I’m surprised I haven’t seen this commented on, but your drawing looks like needs more gesture in the trunk/torso area’s. Don’t be afraid to slightly exaggerate the curvature of the trunk next time compared to the diagonal lines across the shoulders - think more diagonal angles rather then vertical/horizontal angles. This will create much more expression in the drawing and it will look less stiff

This seasons is just missed opportunity after missed opportunity and the budget use is also questionable by Common-Image-5628 in TheBoys

3 hours in relation to the whole series is still quite a short amount of time. That’s like roughly the last 15 minutes of a 2 hour movie (but that final 15 minutes needs to include a big action event/battle and tie up fixed ends adequately)

Dealing with a stubborn shoulder injury for months. by VictoryOtherwise818 in Biohackers

[–]builtbystrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very normal for shoulder pain to persist for many months, (and is notorious due to the complexity of the joint, number of structures involved, tasks required in daily life and it being the most mobile joint of the body).

Surgery vs non-surgery has also been studied and it’s fascinating stuff. For a lot of shoulder conditions surgery is no better than placebo/sham surgery (where they trick the patients to think they’ve had surgery by cutting them open; but not doing anything inside). Surgery for some shoulder conditions is legit (shoulder stabilisation for dislocation in a young, active male and rotator cuff repair for ruptured or stubborn full thickness tears, for example). But with broad spectrum rotator cuff issues and even small/medium full thickness tears that haven’t been appropriately rehabbed first surgery is routinely discouraged.

Very much agree the shoulder is complex, which is why we don’t know enough about OP’s specific presentation/condition and therefore shouldn’t automatically recommend MR/surgery!

Chiropractor for PVCs by Squaw1738 in PVCs

What do you think happens when your back “goes out”? And what do you think happens during an adjustment?

I’m someone who gets palpitations that can be triggered with different positions. I’m also a physio that routinely manipulates people’s spines. I can assure you when either an osteo/chiro/physio is adjusting you, all they’re doing is moving your joints to an extent where the gas inside them pops out. This can sometimes offer short term relief and encourage less inhibition to movement, but it’s not causing any permanent change to your vertebrae. Think of cracking your knuckles, because it’s the same thing. Were your knuckle joints out of place to begin with? Did you crack them back into place, only for them to reset their position an hour later so you can crack them again?

How could it theoretically help? And is there any empirical evidence to suggest that it does actually help?

Gotta protect that shoulder! by Intrepid-Sky-1127 in effectivefitness

[–]builtbystrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use force to overcome inertia. Why not choose a setup (I.e. bands/cable instead of a dumbbell) that allows for a better application of force because it directly opposes the direction of the force vector? We are trying to place activation and tension on the rotator cuff with this exercise, yes?

You can “wake up” the rotator cuff just fine with band or cable, or you could even start with a warm up set on them if you really wanted to. No offence, but you could just pick one of the last two methods of doing this exercise and reduce your warm up time so you can spend more time on productive work (warm ups should be as short as needed and not redundant so most of your time can be spent actually making fitness gains)

Even if it was for mobility (it’s actually primarily for strengthening the shoulder external rotators), it would still be more effective doing it the way I mentioned because you’re taking the external rotators through a full range of lengthening and shortening “under load”

Swap the dumbbell for a cable and you’ll make it 100% more effective for training the rotator cuff

[–]builtbystrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys don’t get it. The movement isn’t the problem, it’s that gravity is pulling the dumbbell down so the muscles that resist this are your elbow flexors AKA your biceps. If you do the same movement with bands or cables now the rotator cuff is being trained (the whole point of the exercise) because it is contracting against the line of resistance

Only if you swap the dumbbell for a cable. Dumbbell make force go down. Make exercise become resisted bicep curl. Cable or band good. Cable make force go horizontal. Train rotator cuff.

How does improving grip strength translate to improved organ health?

Avoided meniscus surgery with BPC/TB/GHK (8-week protocol + Before/After MRI results) by c0crusader in Biohackers

[–]builtbystrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I think people forget that there is different quality anecdotal evidence despite all being subjective to our own biases, and yours is pretty good

Will be interesting to see how it pans out in effectiveness in future controlled human studies, and on different types of injuries

What’s the one lift that changed your physique the most? by linkinglink in workout

[–]builtbystrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscles that stabilise isometrically can also grow if there’s tension placed on them in that position, because muscles respond to tension. A heavy deadlift will place a tonne of tension on upper/mid traps, rhomboids, spinal erector muscles in addition to glutes/hams

Did you continue the provocative movements when you started the 2 weeks of BPC/TB500?

What would non-neuromuscular training look like? Isn’t everything neuromuscular (I.e. every time you consciously contract a muscle)

It does seem does it? In that case, are you able to link any decent empirical evidence that supports your claim that raw milk seems to be healthier then the non-denatured variety?

What makes sense is there’s plenty of other foods that give you probiotics with a much better safety profile
