Hamstrings are crucial for speed and injury prevention. The anatomy of hamstrings is complex and specialized. Biceps femoris long head is the most commonly injured hamstring. Fatigue significantly alters movement patterns and injury risk. Different sports have varying rates of hamstring injuries. Proximal injuries are more common than distal injuries. Effective rehabilitation requires understanding of hamstring function. Training should focus on both hip and knee movements. Range of motion is key for optimal performance. Knee-over-hip movement targets specific hamstring muscles. Nordics are effective for hamstring injury prevention. Trunk control is vital for efficient hamstring function. Thorough hamstring development addresses all muscle groups. Hamstrings may require different training strategies based on fiber type. Acceleration plays a significant role in hamstring rehabilitation. Strength training should focus on a large range of motion. Sled training can enhance sprinting performance. Eccentric overload studies are needed for better understanding. Practical application in training is crucial for athletes.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/r5.johan?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacrLUbPVowp-fLmXuiL24aEhLAbiDybz36SPGRE1B5OGUQazY4BMcIuIcmP6A_aem_v59RXN2FxyxAgIMsNZpAmQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/r5.johan/?hl=en Twitter: https://x.com/lahti_johan Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-141-hamstrings-and-hamstring-tendons-with-johan-lahti/

With new technologies, paleontologists are starting to learn more about how dinosaurs lived by connecting them to animals alive today. Amy M. Balanoff, assistant professor at the Center for Functional Anatomy & Evolution at Johns Hopkins, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the T. Rex and its brain – how paleontologists are piecing together what abilities they had, and why the modern housecat might offer some clues. Her Scientific American article, co-authored by Daniel T. Ksepka, is “What Was It Like to be a Dinosaur?”

En el episodio de hoy, os hablo de un libro muy interesante publicado este 2024 titulado “Dime qué sientes. Diario de un neurocirujano. Pacientes despiertos, las 5 dimensiones del cerebro y un cambio de paradigma”. Su autor es el Dr. Jesús Martín-Fernández, un neurocirujano español especializado en cirugía despierta y formado con Hughes Duffau en Montpelier (Francia). Este libro divulgativo y con tintes autobiográficos defiende la tesis de que tenemos que comprender el cerebro en forma de red, o red de redes, que tienen nodos o puntos clave y que hay ciertas zonas clásicamente sagradas en neurociencia, como el área de Broca, que no existen como tal y que lo importante sobre todo a la hora de la neurocirugía, es respetar los tractos profundos y largos que llevan las grandes funciones cognitivas y motoras. A través de los casos que expone Jesús en el libro, se puede ver cómo van monitorizando al paciente despierto para preservar las funciones cognitivas con diferentes test y con ayuda de inteligencia artificial, todo mientras están quitando un tumor, que en muchas ocasiones, había sido catalogado como ‘inoperable'.

Tearing your Achilles tendon is a major injury that may require surgery. While some people can recover from an Achilles rupture without surgery, some will require surgery in order to return to highly ballistic and plyometric sports like gymnastics and olympic weightlifting.   Stacie Barber, PT is a physical therapist, nationally competitive weightlifter, recreational gymnastics, and PT practice owner of The Physio Fix sustained a full rupture of her Achilles tendon at her first annual holiday party. While this injury was devastating emotionally and physically, it did not happen during her chosen sport, but rather during a Ninja Warrior holiday party!   After the shock of the injury wore off, Stacie connected with an orthopedic surgeon regarding her options for recovery. Just three days after the injury Stacie underwent surgery and returned to work two days later. The main factor in deciding to go the surgical route for the Achilles rupture was that there was a 9 cm gap between both ends of the torn tendon and no overlap when she was put in full plantar flexion. This meant that there was little opportunity for the tendon to heal itself.   In this episode of the PRS Podcast, Dr. Stacie Barbell shares the story of her recovery after the surgery, how she continued to train and maintain her strength the whole time, and the process by which she returned to olympic weightlifting and gymnastics after the Achilles rupture with surgery.   In this episode we discuss: What clinical factors lead to the decision to have Achilles rupture repair surgery How her post-op protocol for Achilles surgery varied from the typical protocol and why Footwear and assistive devices for Achillies repairs and how they helped/hindered Complications she experienced after the surgery and the process to address them How she continued to train without interruption post injury  Kneeling & seated lifts to continue to train olympic lifts How long it took and how she progressed to get back to full ROM, heavy power and olympic lifts The timeline and progression for reintroducing gymnastics The importance of asking for help Insurance processes for covering the pre-surgical imaging, surgery, and assistive devices post-op The benefits of going out-of-pocket for post surgical return to sport physical therapy How this surgery changed Stacie as a clinician    Dr. Stacie Barber is the founder and owner of The Physio Fix, which was established in 2017. Stacie received her B.S. in Exercise Science from Illinois State University in 2011 where she was also an NCAA student-athlete, earning several honors in the sport of gymnastics. After undergrad, Stacie went on to become a strength and performance coach, furthering her knowledge of exercise prescription and implementation before pursuing her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree which she obtained from Duke University in 2015.    As a former collegiate gymnast and current Olympic Weightlifter, Dr. Stacie has had her fair share of orthopedic injuries and surgeries (11 surgeries to be exact!), so she understands how detrimental an injury can be for an athlete at any level. Therefore, she spends a lot of time with patients analyzing their movement patterns, identifying deficits, and improving body mechanics to not only fix the current problem but to also prevent further compensations and degeneration.    Get in Touch with Stacie! @ThePhysioFix on IG The Physio Fix website   Resources Mentioned in this Episode: #52 - Functional Anatomy of the Foot & Ankle in Barbell Training with Dr. John Petrizzo, PT, PRSCC, CSCS, SSC How to Train with one leg The Physio Fix Achilles Protocol Program (for purchase from The PhysioFix) Stacie's Achilles Rupture & Repair Blog (1 full year on Youtube)     If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59  Check out the Clinical Barbell Coaching Institute to learn more about the PRS education opportunities! https://bit.ly/43VjRFz Get in touch with the show!

Clients often have chronic low back pain as a primary or secondary issue.  It is often combined in complex presentations where addressing one issue is usually not going to generate optimal results.  In this episode, Susan and Erica discuss the obvious and not-so-obvious drivers in this client with chronic low back pain and constipation/bloating! They discuss the varied evidence that helps to determine not only the main drivers of this presentation but also the reality of utilization of the full systems and whole body consideration in care.  Breath and balance play an important role.

Are you wondering if you need to fix your ankle mobility to squat better, if you should wear orthotics when lifting weights, or why specific shoes help you lift weights? Understanding how the foot and ankle function is important for making specific decisions about your feet and ankles in barbell training.    The feet are our connection to the ground and our base of support and force transfer in all movements involving our feet and the ground. Because of this, the foot and ankle are quite complex, have a lot of movement, and have many bones, muscles, and joints to produce a stable and flexible base for human movement. As such, the foot and ankle are susceptible to injury outside of barbell training and powerlifting rather than because of it.   Most foot and ankle issues that impede someone's ability to barbell train generally come from issues or injuries that occur outside of training. In most cases, it's possible to continue to train even with injuries or limitations to the foot or ankle.   In this episode of the PRS Podcast, we discuss: The general functional anatomy of the ankle and foot How much ankle mobility do you need to barbell squat, and what to do about it How your ability to walk relates to barbell training and squat Flexible versus stiff feet The pros and cons of arch support And much more   If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the foot and ankle in barbell training.   Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Overcoming a Hip Fracture and Squat Fails (Article) #41 - Femoroacetabular Impingement, A Labral Tear, & A Hip Fracture: Coach Rori's Story of 5 Nationals, 4 Arnolds, & 2 World Championships Without Surgery (Podcast)     If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

Pelvic organ prolapse is a dysfunction of the human body that is experienced by men and women. Yes, you read that right, men too. So it's important to understand the symptoms, causes, and treatment options so you're not left wondering: “Can I powerlift with a prolapse?” or “Do I need surgery if I have a prolapse?”   Vaginal and rectal prolapse are sensitive topics for most people. In fact, this often leads people to suffer in silence, lose enjoyment for life, and even stop barbell training or competing in powerlifting. However, there are ways to non-surgically address prolapse and continue to barbell train.    When belts are worn correctly, the Valsalva Maneuver is executed appropriately, and training volume, intensity, and technique are monitored and adjusted systematically, you can train without experiencing or worsening prolapse.     In this episode of the PRS Podcast Dr. Breanne Maruca, PT, PRSCC, CLT, WCS and Dr. Rori Alter, PT, PRSCC, SSC bring awareness to pelvic organ prolapse by discussing: Types of prolapse that men and women experience Symptoms of vaginal and rectal prolapse Their personal experiences with both A docked boat analogy for the pelvic floor muscles, organs, and ligaments Various treatment options for pelvic organ prolapse Pessary Surgery Medication   Resources Mentioned in this Episode: #48 - Functional Anatomy of the Core & Pelvic Floor in Barbell Training with Dr. Breanne Maruca, PT, PRSCC, CLT, WCS #38 - The Valsalva Maneuver Explained | How to Breathe While Lifting #8 - Peeing & Powerlifting - The Truth About Powerlifting Specific Urinary Incontinence Causes & Management   Need help with your pelvic floor issue?

The core and pelvic floor are often forgotten areas of the body when it comes to addressing injuries and issues in powerlifting. This area of the body is not visible and symptoms associated with dysfunction of the inner core and pelvic floor can present themselves as poor training progress or injuries in the back or limb before a direct issue presents itself.    Why does this happen? Well, most people are completely unaware of their pelvic floor and inner core because we don't see them, feel them, or typically think about them. Additionally, their functions are anticipatory and automatic when it comes to movement and posture.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter and Breanne Maruca discuss the functional anatomy of the pelvic floor and core and the role they play in barbell training.    This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deeply understand their core and pelvic floor to optimize their training and technique to either address their symptoms or reduce the risk of injury in the future.    If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the core and pelvic floor and barbell training.   In this episode we discuss: The layers of the anterior core musculature and how they function in daily movement and barbell training exercises The role of the transverse abdominis and how it functions are your inner weightlifting belt Why you don't necessarily need to do isolated abdominal exercises How the anterior core muscular contribute to the mechanism of the Valsalva Maneuver Pelvic floor function and how the muscles contract and relax relative to the diaphragm, movement, and barbell training Proper functioning of urination and defecation and why it shouldn't happen when you lift A brief introduction to Powerlifting Urinary Incontinence and resources for that   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Episode # 8: Peeing & Powerlifting | The Truth About Powerlifting Specific Urinary Incontinence Causes & Management Episode #35: Functional Anatomy of the Spine in Barbell Training with Dr. John Petrizzo, PT, CSCS, PRSCC, SSC Episode #38: The Valsalva Maneuver Explained | How to Breathe While Lifting Episode #39: Functional Anatomy of the Hip in Barbell Training with Dr. John Petrizzo, PT, CSCS, PRSCC, SSC 3 Reasons You Pee When You Powerlift & How to Fix It (Part 1) 3 Reasons You Pee When Powerlifting & How to Fix It (Part 2): Mechanical Contributions     If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

While hip pain from deadlift isn't as common as it is with squatting, Knowing how to modify the conventional or sumo deadlift for hip pain of various types is important so you can continue to train for strength and performance despite issues you have with your hips.   Hip pain with deadlift can be irritated by a variety of things: Start position Chosen stance Relative load on the bar Stance width Toe out   There is almost always a way you can continue to train your sumo deadlift or conventional deadlift through an episode of acute or chronic hip even if you're using lighter weight or a deadlift variation.   In this podcast episode we discuss what to look for and how to adjust either deadlift if you're experiencing pain while deadlifting in order to continue to train.   Resources: Pain & Injuries Podcast Series (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)  Functional Anatomy of the Hip How to Conventional Deadlift on YouTube The Conventional Deadlift: How To Deadlift With Optimal Form To Optimize Form & Lower Injury Risk   If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

Ever met someone and instantly thought, "Yup, we're destined to be yoga BFFs?"    That's how I felt back in April 2019 when I attended the Baptiste Institute's Assisting Course in San Francisco, led by the amazing Melissa Leach!   Melissa is not only a total bad@$$ yoga teacher but also down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and highly experienced in her understanding of yoga, functional anatomy, trauma, and mental health.   During that course, she introduced me to the world of assists in teaching yoga – a game-changing approach that focuses on co-creation between student and teacher, rather than just correcting or adjusting.   Fast forward to today, and I'm thrilled to share that Melissa is joining me on this week's episode of the Luminous Recovery Yoga Podcast!

Hip pain is common in barbell training but that doesn't mean that barbell training is bad for your hips or that you need imaging or even surgery to resolve your hip pain. Better understanding your functional anatomy, your technique, and how to optimize your movement (along with optimizing your programming) can give you the tools to address your symptoms while continuing to train.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter, Alyssa Haveson, and John Petrizzo discuss the functional anatomy of the hip and the role it plays in barbell training. They discuss common concerns having to do with the structure of the hip and how the movement of the hip significantly contributes to various aspects of your technique.    This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deeply understand their hips to optimize their training and technique to either address their symptoms or reduce the risk of injury in the future.    If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the hip and barbell training.   In this episode we discuss the: Normal movement of the hip joint Internal structures and surfaces of the hip Tendons, ligaments, and muscles surrounding the hip joint How the hip affects the knee Hip pain, labrum tears, and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)   Resources mentioned in this episode: Functional Anatomy of the Hip in Barbell Training YouTube Video How to Low Bar Back Squat YouTube Video  Barbell Back Squat | How to (coach the) Squat in 10 Minutes Podcast Episode   If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

Low back pain is one of the most common injuries in the general population. In all sports, including barbell training, powerlifting, and resistance training, back pain is just as common. Therefore, we should not believe that squats and deadlifts are bad for your back. In fact, they are important for increasing the health and resiliency of your spine, and decreasing your pain.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter, Alyssa Haveson, and John Petrizzo discuss the functional anatomy of the spine and the role it plays in barbell training. They discuss why the spine is much more stable and resilient than medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy doctors often believe it to be, explain how barbell training improves your spine health, and how to reduce your risk for low back pain with squats and deadlifts.   This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deeply understand their spine to improve their training and decrease their risk for low back pain.   If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the spine and barbell training.   In this episode we discuss: Spinal Structure Segments of the spine Curvatures of the spine Vertebral body structure Intervertebral discs Spinal Stability Boney alignment of the spine Spinal ligaments Spinal muscles Intra abdominal pressure  Disc Structure & function Anatomy of the intervertebral discs Disc bulge versus disc herniation The jelly donut analogy Spinal Peripheral Nerves Their role in back pain Spinal Radiculopathy MRIs & Imaging Do you need an MRI?

Understanding the functional anatomy of the knee in barbell training is an important aspect of biomechanics that powerlifters, physical therapists, chiropractors, strength coaches, and doctors should understand.    When you understand how the knee joint is structured and functions you'll have a better understanding of why certain ways of performing the squat and deadlift are more optimal than others. This will also help you understand the normal forces on the knee joint and how we can combine our knowledge of powerlifting programming and barbell movement mechanics to maintain healthy, pain free movements despite atypical structure and joint degeneration.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter, Alyssa Haveson, and John Petrizzo discuss the role of the knee joint and its surrounding structures in the mechanics of barbell training.   This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deep dive into the knee joint.   If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the knee and barbell training.   In this episode we discuss the: Joints that make up the knee Normal movement of the knee joint Internal structures and surfaces of the knee Musculature responsible for knee flexion and extension How the hip affects the knee Patellofemoral movement ITB pain   Resources mentioned in this episode: Pain & Injuries Podcast Series Part 1 Pain & Injuries Podcast Series Part 2 Pain & Injuries Podcast Series Part 3   If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!

Is hip hinging bad for your kidneys?***This is my hypothesis question in my latest episode. The more I learn about the body, the more I learn about some fascinating correlations. These are things such as the relationships between fascia, organs and muscles as well as which muscles become inhibited when organs are under strain.***Hip hinging as a stand alone movement is obviously not bad for your kidneys. However the myofascial adaptations that accompany being able to hinge more than 4 plates a side does bare ramifications on our internal anatomy. If you start to get symptoms of kidney dysfunction, there could be a correlation there.***In this episode I also delve deep into the functional anatomy of the Psoas muscle. I explain why it's function is so misunderstood and why it's so important to hinging mechanics.***Finally I finish (somewhat randomly) with a 15 minute explanation of how to use a financial system which will make you a lot more money in 2023. As it's the first show of the year I thought it'd be good to see who uses the method all year and what a difference it makes.***I loved recording this one. So if you want to learn more about pelvic mechanics, how to make more money and which acupressure points link to sexual performance, make sure you give this one a listen.

I discuss the functional anatomy of the Tibialis Anterior and how it can be applied to training.***I also explain the stomach line meridian from TCM, how this links to the Tibialis muscle and what you can do to improve it.***Research paper reference: Chon et al. (2012) Co-contraction of ankle dorsiflexors and transverse abdominis function in patients with low back pain

The legendary Robert Royston joins us to discuss his early days in West Coast Swing, what he did to become a dance professional, and how the dance scene has changed over the last thirty years. We talked about the problems of judging, how to balance the past and future of the dance, and what excites him about what is happening in our community right now. He also shared with us his personal insecurities, why he dislikes “Facebook petting,” and what's next for him as he thinks about his own legacy. Listen to find out why humility and a dose of arrogance are important for success in the dance world, and why we shouldn't give every dance a standing ovation. footnotes Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery by Eric Franklin The Thinking Body by Mabel Elsworth Todd Human Movement Potential: Its Ideokinetic Facilitation by Lulu E.
