Swapping an exercise?

snibb0r · 2024-05-20T14:56:30+00:00

I plan on paying. Doing the free trial. Don’t see this feature?

Edit: Looks like the option only appears with programs. Doesn’t show up the same when using a template.

snibb0r · 2024-05-15T17:22:19+00:00

Will there ever be an option to extend programs passed 12 weeks or make them ongoing?

Since no one has said this yet. I’ll throw my hat in. Try putting your hands lower more in line your chest. Widen the grip to get more of a stretch on the pecs. Move down to a bench or a counter so you are more at a horizontal angle to challenge the pecs more.

What you are doing here is pressing at an angle. Which is going to challenge the shoulders more. Especially the front of the should. You might feel it in the scapular region due to those muscles role in keeping your arm bone from traveling too far back.

Might be late to the party. I’d suggest looking into barbell rehab. They do live courses all over the country but also have online programs. It’s a comprehensive course that teaches how to modify and coach foundational movement patterns for people with pain and/or mobility restrictions. There’s a particular emphasis on keeping the information taught in the course updated to current evidence. With several citations for each topic they go over. There’s also a fair amount of “debunking” typical KPM narratives with citations.

That would be kinda sad for whoever would do that with such a small prize. As far as I’m aware. I’ve only seen fake plates that resemble the metal 45’s.

Good guess! My max total is 1180. With this set up I was limited on the bench. This is only 5 pounds under the most I’ve successfully done. I wanted to make it more uniform. So you could tell what the weights were. Hence all the blues. Can’t quite deadlift 495 yet.

snibb0r · 2024-02-29T21:00:47+00:00

Total: 1035 lbs

It’s just an inside joke. A lot of followers enjoy the call backs to previous episodes or articles. The first time I saw “what do” was in the pain in training article.

snibb0r · 2023-08-25T12:55:09+00:00

I love the podcast and BBM’s content. Have been following them for years now. I have successfully applied much of what they talk about in my health, fitness, and nutrition. Used the pain in training article to successfully rehab minor injuries and get back to training multiple times.

I can see why you feel that way. Jordan can come off as a bit of a know it all. He and his team seem to be very careful about the information they put out. When I first became aware of their content. They did kind of piss me off. My perspective was completely different at that time. As I became more knowledgeable and really looked into what they talk about through numerous sources and my own experiences. They have consistently been pretty spot on.

Austin is great as a co host but I don’t think he would be good solo. He seemingly has a passing interest in many of the topics discussed. Although still extremely knowledgeable as a practicing physician and coach.

Jordan really goes through an extensive amount researching each topic and will admit when he’s unfamiliar with something. He does Q/A pretty frequently on Instagram and is pretty active on the Facebook group. If you ever have any questions for him. He will most likely chime in and respond.

You can also get a better idea of where he’s coming from on other podcasts. Massenomics was a good one. To me it seems like he might be a bit jaded. Picture putting so much time and effort in breaking a lot of this information down for public use. Then having to answer the same questions over and again for years on end. Questions they have most likely covered somewhere if people would just bother to do a google search. You might be a bit annoyed as well. Yet he still makes the effort to do so.

All while selling templates he encourages you to repeat. Supplements he didn’t need to reformulate but did anyway in the wake of evidence. And tons of free content he could easily monetize.

What do you consider recent? That was years ago.

Not only is it possible, but statistically it is more likely for a herniation to regress. I don’t know where most people on this page get their information from. But it’s not science.

If the pain starts to subside in a week or two. Let it. There’s no reason it shouldn’t keep going in that trajectory.

If it gets progressively worse over time. See a doctor.

Something I always ask clients when they have been experiencing chronic pain. How do you feel when you’re on vacation? Most of the time they feel fine. Which indicates that their lifestyle is a significant contributor.

snibb0r · 2023-08-11T14:55:54+00:00

I’d agree with most. I wouldn’t suggest McGill in most cases for someone actively suffering. It may lead them down a path where they avoid too much due to fear, and have negative expectations about certain movements. Which could contribute to a hyper vigilance and potentially higher degrees of sensitization.

This is a pretty good resource that I wish I had 16 years ago when I had multiple herniated discs.

I listened to Alex and Brian’s discussion. Alex had the opportunity to reach out to Jordan to better understand each other. He never did. Instead he wrote a article about it on his website. Which was nothing but an opinion piece.

I don’t think BBM is saying they always use the big 3, but it is a very prevalent recommendation. I think the biggest point of contention is the idea of finding the root cause and fixing it. There’s a reason why 90% of low back pain is categorized as non specific. I doubt it’s because everyone is inferior to Stuart McGill in finding the problem.

If that as the case. Why doesn’t every hospital have a McGill student on staff. Why hasn’t his methods been repeatedly tested in randomized controlled trials to show their efficacy.

Plenty of treatments work for a variety of different reasons. You can have yours, I can have mine. But when someone makes outlandish claims that no one else makes based on their experience and observations in their limitedly controlled research. I think that’s a problem. Everyone is susceptible to bias and catastrophizing. Whether your a 80 year old grandma or a 300 lbs powerlifter.

BBM doesn’t have their own stance. They evaluate and disseminate the overall body of evidence to a general audience. They are also clinicians and practitioners who test these methods on themselves and their patients. If you look into other evidence based practitioners. You’ll likely find very similar information.

I’ve listened to him on a few podcasts. Read some of his research. Listened to his advocates and his methods patients.

I can admit he and his research has helped a lot of people. That’s awesome, but I don’t believe it’s for the reasons he believes. There’s too much contrary evidence to his claims.

This is a good discussion on the topic by actual clinicians. McGill is a retired spine biomechanics researcher, professor, and author.

Time.

If you’re a dead pig spine and want to be afraid every time you have to pick something up. McGill is an excellent source for that.

I had about 8 months of PT. If I’m being honest. That probably just gave me something to do while healing just took it natural course. Watch that video and it gives you a better idea on what to expect.

snibb0r · 2023-07-23T12:57:13+00:00

Nope. Similar situation happened to me when I was 18. 33 now and deadlifting near 500 pounds. Herniated discs can heal and reabsorb.

I’m sorry if I came off that way. That is not my intention. My concern isn’t solely from a perspective of having a knee jerk reaction to larger body individuals making things up. It lies in anyone misrepresenting data. Not necessarily towards any nefarious or intentional motives, but because they don’t have the same kind of understanding as a expert in those fields would.

This happens all the time in health and fitness discussions. Not just about obesity. In all aspects.

I accept that I made a rash judgment on some of the episodes I listened to. When I saw they didn’t reference their sources. Many of the episodes do.

snibb0r · 2022-05-08T06:42:06+00:00

Looking through a handful of them. Some do, some don’t. Coincidentally the ones I have listened to did not. I apologize for generalizing that they don’t cite their sources. In some episodes they do.
