Today's guest is Rett Larson, strength coach for the German Women's Volleyball Team and creator of the "No Zombies" training philosophy. Rett coached Olympic medalists with China and the Netherlands, blending energy, rhythm, and purposeful movement into world-class performance. As sport expands into an increasingly more high-pressure, early specialization event that can easily suck fun and joy away, there grows a need for a "counter-culture" within athletic performance. Not only does a "physical preparation" process for athletes that is joyful and gamified lead to more fun within a training session, but it also develops important athletic qualities, within that umbrella of "fun" that may not be possible in more "traditional" sessions. Rett Larson is spearheading an active, engaging approach to the physical preparation process for athletes with warmups designed for joy, engagement, and a comprehensive stimulation of athletic qualities along the way. On today's episode, Rett speaks on a variety of engaging tools and gamifications in the warmup process for both thermogenic and neurological preparation. He goes into his take on partner exercises and isometrics, and the process of using a physical challenge to "sneak" strength and skill elements in the program.

Rett challenges that default. Why not flip the script? Start with something that actually taps into the nervous excitement athletes bring into day one. Instead of draining that spark, use it to build buy-in. What to try: • Kick things off with a creative team challenge instead of movement screens. • Replace punishments with something silly but memorable (e.g., team serenade or worm dance). • Avoid singling people out—no solo singing for introverts. The goal is laughter, not dread. 2️⃣ Rope Flow: Movement Puzzles that Stick If you've ever tried rope flow, you know it's strangely addicting. Rett uses it as a warm-up tool that hits thermogenic, rotational, and coordination qualities all in one. It's essentially a moving puzzle—and that makes it ideal for getting athletes out of zombie mode. What to try: • Add rope flow sequences early in warm-ups to raise body temp and spark engagement. • Mix in new patterns over time so it stays fresh. • Think of it as "motor learning meets party trick"—athletes love that feeling of leveling up. 3️⃣ Partner Work and Social Pressure: The Good Kind Warm-ups don't have to be solo grinds. In fact, the social element is part of the magic. Whether it's balloon volleys in a split squat or partner wall sits, Rett uses simple tools to inject teamwork, laughter, and just the right amount of peer pressure. What to try: • Design partner or trio-based warm-up drills to naturally boost effort and engagement. • Add tasks or games that distract from the burn (like volleying a balloon while holding a lunge).

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Need to pass NASM/ACE/ISSA/NSCA/SUF, master muscle contractions. Everything isotonic, isometric, isokinectic. Become a successful personal trainer by reading chapter 12 How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer vol. 2 to pass in 30-daysMuscular contractions form the foundation of all human movement, yet many trainers struggle to translate this science from certification textbooks into effective client programs. In this comprehensive breakdown, we demystify the three primary types of muscular contractions—isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic—and explain precisely how understanding each transforms your training approach.Diving deep into the sliding filament theory, we explore how myosin and actin interact during different movement phases and why this matters for your clients' results. You'll discover why eccentric training (where muscles lengthen under tension) produces greater strength adaptations with less volume, how isometric holds can build tissue tolerance at points of pain, and when to implement advanced breathing techniques like the Valsalva maneuver for experienced lifters.Beyond the physiology, we translate this knowledge into practical applications across all fundamental movement patterns. Learn how to identify weak points in a bench press and implement isometric pin presses to break through plateaus. Understand why controlling the eccentric phase of a pull-up builds the foundation for clients who can't yet perform a single rep. See how proper breathing mechanics change as clients progress from beginners to advanced lifters.The difference between memorizing terminology for a certification exam and truly understanding how to implement this knowledge represents the gap between textbook trainers and qualified professionals who transform lives. Whether you're preparing for your NASM exam or looking to elevate your training approach beyond industry standards, this episode delivers the science, practical applications, and confiWant to ask us a question?

And then the next station was jump rope, and the next station was lateral slides back and forth, touching the lane lines. And we do that kind of thing in X Factor because what I have found is that basketball players seem to be the healthiest, most durable track athletes.” - Tony Holler (35:30) “Our favorites are the extreme ISO lunge that we do not do for five minutes. We do it for more like a minute. You know, maybe we're not cooking the steak long enough. But this is very important. Always err on the side of less.” - Tony Holler (00:44:15) “I color code our speed workouts and our X factor workouts as yellow, which to me means caution. And that caution is don't let today ruin tomorrow. Almost always the day after an X factor workout is a sprint workout for us” - Tony Holler (47:40) “Speed is repetitive. X factor is very much flex” - Tony Holler

Knee pain can be managed with proper training and techniques. Isometric exercises play a crucial role in injury prevention. Diet can significantly impact tendon health and performance. As athletes age, training methods must adapt to prevent injuries. Different jumping techniques can affect knee stress differently. Warm-ups are essential to prevent injuries, especially as one ages. Cool-downs can aid recovery and reduce next-day soreness. Managing jump volume and intensity is key to longevity in the sport. Listening to one's body is crucial for effective training. Jordan has never used injections or stem cells for recovery. He emphasizes conservative management and load management for knee issues. Plyometrics should be approached with caution, focusing on depth jumps and seated jumps. Single effort jumps are preferred over multi-effort jumps to avoid knee strain. Lifting techniques should be adjusted based on individual comfort and pain levels. Muscle imbalances should be addressed by strengthening weaker muscles rather than focusing solely on balance. Footwear can significantly impact knee health; personal preference varies. Pain management during training can involve isometric exercises and adjustments in technique. Common tendon issues arise from excessive jumping without proper recovery and management. Weight training is essential for dunkers to prevent injuries and improve performance.

His internship at the University of Minnesota was a transformative experience. He faced multiple injuries that complicated his recovery process. Zach developed a personalized jumper's knee protocol based on research and self-education. Communication with coaches was crucial for managing his injury and training. He critiqued traditional physical therapy methods for being too standardized and ineffective. Zach found success in using specific exercises that targeted his knee pain. He emphasized the psychological impact of dealing with chronic pain and injury. Zach's experience led him to help others with similar injuries through education and support. He believes in the importance of critical thinking in rehabilitation and recovery. Zach had to gauge his pain threshold during activities. Initial sharp pain in the knee indicated a possible partial tear. Tendinopathy symptoms developed over time with different sensations. Isometrics provided pain relief for Zach for several months. Athletes often face resistance from trainers when seeking alternative rehab methods. Zach's recent knee injury was a result of heavy eccentric loading. Effective rehab requires finding the highest possible entry point. Rehabilitation should focus on loading the muscle, not just the joint. Zach's approach includes using RPR and square one techniques. Rehab is about applying proven methods to individual cases. Ground substance in tendons consists of proteoglycans and water. Aging leads to a loss of spring-like properties in tendons. Pathology in tendons can develop long before pain is felt. General health significantly impacts tendon health. Weight gain adds extra load on tendons, increasing injury risk. High blood sugar can stiffen tendons due to sugar cross-links. Dietary choices can influence tendon health and recovery. Collagen supplementation may benefit tendon health, especially if deficient in nutrients. Environmental factors like circadian rhythms can affect tendon recovery. A holistic approach is essential for optimal tendon health.

Hunting in steep terrains exacerbated his patellar tendon issues. Sitting for long hours at work contributed to his knee pain. He explored various treatments including PRP and stem cell injections. The 10x procedure was recommended to address scar tissue in his tendon. Physical therapy played a crucial role in his recovery process. Isometric exercises helped him engage his quad muscle effectively. Gibson found that consistent loading improved his knee condition. He realized the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment for tendinopathy. Gibson's journey highlights the need for tailored rehabilitation strategies. Isometric exercises can provide immediate pain relief. Leg extensions have been particularly effective for Gibson. Rehabilitation is a gradual process that requires patience. Setting athletic goals can motivate recovery efforts. Flare-ups are a normal part of the healing journey. Strength training plays a crucial role in recovery. Listening to your body is essential during rehabilitation. Avoid falling for quick-fix solutions for tendon pain. Maintaining a healthy diet can support recovery. Engaging in activities you love, like hunting, can be challenging but rewarding.

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Performance Coaching and Jumper's Knee 02:59 Understanding Jumper's Knee: Personal Experiences and Misconceptions 05:53 The Evolution of Training Approaches for Jumper's Knee 08:52 The Importance of Quad Strength in Recovery 11:50 Deceleration and Its Impact on Jumper's Knee 15:10 Plyometric Progressions and Their Role in Recovery 17:57 Exploring Exercise Techniques: What Works and What Doesn't 21:02 The Role of Eccentric Loading in Tendon Health 24:09 Debunking Myths: The Truth About Leg Extensions 27:13 Conclusion: Key Takeaways and Future Directions 38:30 Exploring Effective Leg Exercises 41:34 Understanding Knee Pain and Rehabilitation 46:25 The Role of Isometrics in Knee Recovery 51:30 Addressing Patellar Tendon Issues 54:20 Navigating Athletic Pain and Recovery 01:06:30 Injury Management: Achilles and Rotator Cuff 01:14:23 Conclusion and Future Directions Takeaways Tim Riley is a performance coach working with various athletes. Jumper's knee is often misunderstood and mismanaged. Rest and ice were traditionally recommended for jumper's knee, but this approach is outdated. Quad strength is crucial for recovery from jumper's knee. Deceleration is a significant factor in developing jumper's knee. Plyometric progressions must be approached carefully to avoid aggravating knee pain. Not all exercises are effective for everyone; individual responses vary. Eccentric loading is essential for tendon health and recovery. Leg extensions can be beneficial but may not work for everyone. There is no magical exercise for knee pain; a comprehensive approach is necessary. Sissy squats can be more effective than leg extensions. Eccentric loading is crucial for knee rehabilitation. Isometric exercises can help with jumper's knee recovery. Athletes often need to reduce sport-specific activities to heal. Pain management requires honest conversations with athletes. Frequency of training can impact recovery from knee injuries. Achilles injuries require careful management and progression. Partial tears in tendons can be challenging to rehabilitate. Cultural attitudes towards pain vary among athletes. Consistency in rehabilitation exercises leads to better outcomes.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob interviews Josh Nelson, the Director of Performance Science for the Atlanta Falcons. Josh shares his journey from a coaching family to his current role, discussing the key qualities he prioritizes when training quarterbacks. He delves into the differences between in-season and off-season training, the importance of upper body strength, and how he assesses movement quality. The importance of a multifaceted testing regime is highlighted, with reference to implementing training strategies guided by testing data. Josh also talks about managing backup quarterbacks, innovations in training such as blood flow restriction (BFR), and the significance of transferring training to the field. Quarterbacks should be treated as athletes rather than just specialists. In-season training focuses on maintaining practice availability and reducing injury risk. Isometrics play a crucial role in strength training for quarterbacks. Movement quality assessment is vital for quarterback performance. Backup quarterbacks need tailored training to prepare for unexpected opportunities. BFR has been a game changer in training efficiency and recovery. Creating benchmarks for performance metrics is essential for quarterback development. Transfer of training to on-field performance is a key focus.

Loading the tissue is crucial for effective tendon rehabilitation. Education and communication are vital in managing patient expectations and outcomes. Isometrics can be beneficial but may not work for everyone. Pain management in rehab is nuanced and should be individualized. Understanding the athlete's background helps tailor rehab strategies. Patellar tendinopathy presents differently in various athletes and requires specific approaches. The importance of restoring quad function in knee injuries cannot be overstated. Reactive tendinopathy cases can often resolve quickly with proper management. The debate on acceptable pain levels in rehab continues, emphasizing the need for individualized approaches. Consider alternative exercises like reverse Nordic for knee rehab. Gradually increase load and time to fatigue the quads. Warm-up routines can significantly impact tendon health. Compression forces are unavoidable in running; manage them wisely. Psychosocial factors play a crucial role in tendinopathy recovery. NMES can be a last resort for irritable tendons. Maintaining activity is essential for athletes during rehab. Walking warm-ups can enhance performance and recovery. Tendon stiffness is critical for injury prevention. Understanding mechanical transduction is vital for effective rehab.

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tendinopathy and Personal Journey 02:46 Understanding Tendinopathy: Inflammation vs. Degeneration 06:02 The Role of Isometrics in Tendon Rehabilitation 09:10 Muscle Function vs. Tendon Focus in Rehabilitation 11:50 Managing Load: Balancing Pain and Progress 15:07 Powerlifting and Tendinopathy: A Unique Perspective 17:54 Biomechanics and Chronic Workload in Tendon Pain 32:51 Understanding Tendon Biomechanics 34:10 Mismanagement of Tendon Injuries 37:24 The Importance of Progressive Loading 39:07 Transitioning to Remote Rehabilitation 41:03 The Role of Imaging in Tendon Injuries 44:27 Navigating Partial Tears and Surgical Decisions 47:41 Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Challenges 53:27 The Efficacy of Injections in Tendon Pain 56:54 The Debate on Stretching Tendons 01:00:00 Exploring BPC-157 and Its Anecdotal Use Takeaways Tendinopathy is often mismanaged in clinical settings. Isometrics can be beneficial but are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Muscle function and nervous system adaptation are crucial in rehab. Pain should guide rehabilitation strategies. Heavy loads must be relative to the individual's condition. Powerlifters can experience patellar tendinopathy due to high volume and intensity. Biomechanics play a role in tendon injuries but are not the sole factor. Chronic workload changes can lead to tendon pain. Expectations and beliefs can influence treatment outcomes. Individualized approaches are essential for effective rehabilitation. High bar back squats may aggravate tendon injuries more than low bar squats. Mismanagement of tendon injuries often leads to prolonged recovery times. Progressive loading is crucial for effective rehabilitation. Remote rehabilitation can provide more frequent and tailored care. Imaging can create fear and confusion about tendon injuries. Partial tears may not always require surgical intervention. Post-surgery rehabilitation is highly individualized and can be challenging. Injections may provide temporary relief but are not a guaranteed solution. Stretching tendons should be minimized, especially in early stages of rehab. BPC-157's effectiveness remains largely anecdotal and requires more research.

(18:41) "A lot of people don't understand that the long isos, when you get fit enough, strong enough, resilient enough, they're actually recovery." (23:11) "Anything below 80% intensity, the brain sees as a different skill." (37:34) "But my back foot contact, because that's a long ground contact time, my back foot contact around the ankle is short duration." (39:02) "That's the problem with isometrics. Unless you've got a sort of a dynamometer or a force deck, You have no knowledge of results. So it's pretty boring and the brain switches off as such. But yeah, obviously I use different stuff. I use G Strength and Remaker and all those (to measure force)” (47:30) "And collisions are not going to be improved by doing concentric work. Collisions are going to be improved by doing eccentric and isometric work." (52:35 "If I have a knee-dominant bowler who's who takes a long time to get warm, who's who's fast twitch or their intermediate fibers do most of the work. They never get to their fast twitch fibers. So then a pre fatigue complex would be great for them. And they go really do a, do a set of 10 squats and then expect them to bowl. Yeah, it works. Do us do a 200 meter run and then expect them to do an explosive bowl. But have you tried that? That is such a great feeling." About Steffan Jones Steffan Jones is a globally renowned fast-bowling coach, celebrated for his innovative, science-driven approach to cricket performance.

Recent research shows shockwave therapy is ineffective for tendon pain. Calcification in tendons may be an adaptive response. PRP injections do not outperform placebo treatments. Stem cell therapy lacks sufficient evidence for tendon healing. Adjunct therapies should be accessible, cheap, and safe. Heel wedges have shown significant effects in treating Achilles tendinopathy. Loading strategies must be tailored to individual patient needs. Tendon stiffness is primarily improved through heavy loading. Fluid movement within tendons is essential for adaptation. Loading the tendon heavier leads to better fluid movement. Isometrics are crucial for early rehabilitation stages. Heavy maximal eccentrics are key for long-term adaptation. Fluid movement impacts stress relaxation in tendons. Tendon stiffness increases with appropriate loading. Metabolic health is essential for tendon adaptation. Pathological tendons may require different loading strategies. Fluid movement can help reduce pain and improve function. Plyometrics may not provide sufficient strain for adaptation. Blood flow restriction can be effective for tendon rehabilitation. Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-131-tendons-with-peter-malliaras/

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tendinopathy Coaching 03:10 The Journey into Tendon Rehabilitation 06:08 Understanding Muscle-Tendon Imbalance 09:01 Pain vs. Structural Changes in Tendons 11:55 The Complexity of Pain Management 14:45 The Role of Dynamic Loading in Recovery 18:04 Differentiating Between Patellar Tendinopathy and Patellofemoral Pain 20:50 Mid-portion vs. Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy 42:37 Gradual Exposure in Tendon Rehabilitation 45:03 Frequency and Loading in Tendon Rehab 49:27 Metabolic vs. Load-Related Tendon Pain 55:40 Inflammation and Pain Mechanisms in Tendons 01:01:01 The Role of Alcohol in Tendon Pain 01:07:14 Strength vs. Load Management in Tendon Recovery 01:13:32 Future Directions in Tendon Research Takeaways Niels Heim's journey into tendinopathy coaching began with a podcast. Coaching focuses on helping athletes return to their sport. Pain management in tendinopathy is complex and individualized. Dynamic loading is crucial for tendon recovery. Differentiating between patellar tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain is important. Muscle-tendon imbalances can lead to injuries. Structural changes in tendons do not always correlate with pain relief. Isometric loading can be beneficial for tendon rehabilitation. Understanding patient-specific pain responses is essential. The approach to Achilles tendinopathy should differentiate between mid-portion and insertional types. Gradual exposure to loading can enhance tendon rehabilitation. Frequency of loading is crucial; every other day may be optimal. Metabolic and load-related tendon pain require different approaches. Inflammation is not always the primary concern in tendon pain. Alcohol consumption can exacerbate tendon pain. Strength may not need to increase for recovery to occur. Managing overall load is essential for tendon health. Eliminating negative lifestyle factors can aid recovery. Pain management strategies are vital in rehabilitation. Future research should explore plyometric training frequency.

Plyometrics play a crucial role in athletic adaptation. There needs to be a balance between stiffness and compliance in training. Volume is essential for tendon development. Isometric training can provide unique benefits for athletes. Young athletes often face tendon issues due to overtraining. Biomechanics significantly influence injury risks in athletes. Extreme isometrics can lead to remarkable performance improvements. Understanding foot contact is vital for effective training. Coaches must consider the long-term effects of training on athletes. Embracing failure is crucial for growth in training. Pulling harder can help overcome feelings of impending failure. Muscle coordination is key to effective training. Energy systems play a significant role in performance. Tendons require specific loading techniques for rehabilitation. Long-duration holds can benefit tendon health. Blood flow restriction may aid in tendon recovery. Integrating different training modalities enhances performance. Foot mechanics are essential for injury prevention. Understanding individual biomechanics can improve training outcomes.

Dr. Keith Baar is a Professor at the University of California, Davis in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology. During his Ph.D. studies, his research revealed that mechanical strain on muscle fibers activates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, a crucial regulator of muscular hypertrophy. Subsequently, he studied the molecular dynamics of skeletal muscle adaptation to endurance training under the guidance of Dr. John Holloszy, a legend in the field of exercise physiology, considered the father of modern exercise biochemistry. Building on all of this experience, he conducted research into tendon health and the potential for engineering ligaments, which could have implications for treatment and recovery from injuries.Sponsors:Cresset prestigious family office for CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs: https://cressetcapital.com/tim (book a call today)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: https://DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)*Links to everything discussed: https://tim.blog/2025/02/26/dr-keith-baar/Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start [00:07:12] How I discovered Keith's work through a tweet about tennis elbow and rock climbing.[00:07:54] Emil Abrahamsson's hangboard training protocol.[00:09:20] The fundamental principles of strength training and connective tissue adaptation.[00:10:36] mTOR complex 1 and its role in muscle growth.[00:12:06] Engineered ligaments and the discovery of minimal effective doses for tendon adaptation.[00:13:50] The refractory period between optimal tendon loading sessions.[00:16:42] Rapamycin's effects on muscle hypertrophy.[00:18:49] Protocols for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[00:20:28] Why isometrics work better than eccentrics for tendon healing.[00:22:14] Stress shielding and how load distribution affects tendon healing.[00:29:07] The misconception about eccentric loading for tendon injuries and why velocity matters.[00:29:58] Ideal duration for isometric holds (10-30 seconds) based on injury status.[00:33:50] My elbow issues and current rehab approach.[00:36:02] Overcoming vs. yielding isometrics and optimal loading strategies.[00:47:11] Dr. Barr's movement prescription for my tennis elbow.[00:52:18] Loading timing post-surgery and RICE protocol criticism.[00:56:58] Achilles tendon rehabilitation after surgery.[01:00:18] Critique of orthopedic suturing techniques and recommendation for resorbable sutures.[01:04:02] Multiple position isometrics for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[01:07:26] Collagen synthesis, supplementation, and vitamin C timing.[01:12:59] Critique of BPC-157 and other injectable peptides for tendon healing.[01:18:19] Evaluation of orthobiologics' (PRP, prolotherapy, stem cells) effectiveness.[01:21:37] JAK-STAT inhibitor drugs and their effects on tendon growth.[01:25:35] Drugs that increase risk of tendon ruptures (fluoroquinolones, AT-1 receptor drugs).[01:29:33] How estrogen affects tendon stiffness and injury risk in women.[01:32:48] Testosterone's opposite effects on tendon compared to estrogen.[01:35:31] Protein intake recommendations and timing.[01:40:11] Ketogenic diet effects on mitochondrial biogenesis and longevity.[01:41:57] Comparison of ketogenic diet, low protein diet, and rapamycin for longevity.[01:47:19] Inflammation's role in adaptation and when to reduce it.[01:51:17] Timing of ice baths relative to training for optimal recovery.[01:52:33] Parting thoughts.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissPast guests on The Tim Ferriss Show include Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Esther Perel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Terry Crews, Sia, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Madeleine Albright, Cheryl Strayed, Jim Collins, Mary Karr, Maria Popova, Sam Harris, Michael Phelps, Bob Iger, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Neil Strauss, Ken Burns, Maria Sharapova, Marc Andreessen, Neil Gaiman, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Jocko Willink, Daniel Ek, Kelly Slater, Dr. Peter Attia, Seth Godin, Howard Marks, Dr. Brené Brown, Eric Schmidt, Michael Lewis, Joe Gebbia, Michael Pollan, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Vince Vaughn, Brian Koppelman, Ramit Sethi, Dax Shepard, Tony Robbins, Jim Dethmer, Dan Harris, Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, Vitalik Buterin, Elizabeth Lesser, Amanda Palmer, Katie Haun, Sir Richard Branson, Chuck Palahniuk, Arianna Huffington, Reid Hoffman, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Rick Rubin, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Darren Aronofsky, Margaret Atwood, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Dr. Gabor Maté, Anne Lamott, Sarah Silverman, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tendon stiffness is a key factor in rehabilitation. Individualized treatment plans are crucial for effective rehab. Metabolic health can significantly impact tendon pain. Stretching may still have a role in tendon health. Compression effects on tendons are complex and not fully understood. Maintaining activity levels can be beneficial during rehab. Loading protocols should be tailored to the individual. Muscle-tendon imbalances can increase injury risk. Research continues to evolve our understanding of tendon adaptation. Tendon strain is influenced by joint angle and muscle contraction. Isometric holds may not be the only effective method for tendon rehabilitation. Patient-centered care is crucial in designing rehabilitation programs. Performance goals should be integrated into rehabilitation strategies. Muscle strength plays a significant role in tendon health and recovery. The body can adapt to protect injured areas, complicating rehabilitation. Isometrics can provide analgesic effects, but results vary among individuals. Conscious isolation of muscle groups may be necessary for effective rehab. Tendons respond to load, regardless of the type of contraction used. Understanding individual patient goals is essential for effective treatment.

Today's podcast features Christian Thibaudeau. Christian is a renowned strength coach with over 25 years of experience. He has worked with athletes from 28 sports, including pros and Olympians, and was Head Strength Coach at the Central Institute for Human Performance. A former national-level weightlifter and bodybuilder, he has authored multiple books and has been a prolific writer for T-Nation. He has developed the Neurotyping and Omni-Rep systems, amongst many other contributions to human performance and athletic development. The majority of training programs, particularly for athletic performance are mostly gas, and very little brakes. They work mostly propulsion while minimizing early stance and reciprocal motion capabilities. They tend to hover on external outputs and bar velocities but do little to cultivate internal awareness of one's own body. This podcast is all about the value and history of training at both isometric, lower training velocities, along with combined methods (reps + isometrics) for the sake of skilled movement performance and longevity. Christian digs into the history of the martial arts and bodyweight training methods, and goes into a variety of training techniques to round out one's weak points, maximize body awareness and build more robust athletes.

Main Points 5:29 - Antagonist Muscle Engagement in ISO Holds 8:51 - Optimal Movement Performance through Muscle Control 14:49 - Tendon Strengthening for Older Athletes 16:38 - Age-Related Muscle and Tendon Conditioning Exercises 20:27 - Explosiveness Maintenance Through Isometric Training 26:19 - Optimizing Performance with Plyometrics and Strength Integration 27:33 - Optimal Balance: Combining Natural Movements with Isometric Training 41:54 - Enhancing Strength Through Muscle Activation Techniques Quotes (00:23) "When you are truly skilled at an exercise, at a movement, you should be able to do it at any velocity." (09:10) "Maxick. Yes. So that also fits the bill because you are actually, you're trying to contract your muscle by using your own body as resistance. So it's a form of isometric training. And I believe that it is very valuable, especially in the earlier stage of training because I strongly believe that especially when it comes to motor learning and maybe hypertrophy, the better you are at creating tension in the proper muscle, the better results you'll get." (18:35) "I think that again, long-duration isometrics is something that's going to be very, very positive to prevent the decrease in tendon performance with older athletes." (26:40) "I work with one of the top karate athletes in the world. Like super explosive, lightning fast. And we don't lift weights. Let me correct myself. The only exercise where we lift weight is a power clean from the hang. Every form of strength work is done with a flywheel and the rest is plyometric and absorption drills." (38:00) "Don't forget that martial arts, well, especially those of the, the karate, kung fu, and family, judo, it has evolved over two to three thousands of years. And it was not just a system of combat, it was a system of getting into combat shape" (41:20) "Skill is first shown in slow movement." (43:39) "The capacity to contract and. Or relax a muscle while contracting surrounding muscles." (48:52) "I don't honestly see a method that would be more effective for rapid muscle growth than doing let's say a set of say 6 to 10 reps to failure depending on your own personal preferences and then holding for one minute loaded stretch...

Jake shares his personal experience with weight loss and its impact on his social life. David explains his approach to treating patellofemoral pain and the importance of loading. The conversation highlights the biopsychosocial model in understanding pain. David emphasizes the need for less frequent loading for patellofemoral pain compared to tendon pain. Jake questions the structural understanding of patellofemoral pain and its implications for rehab. David shares his personal journey with Achilles tendinopathy and its impact on his athletic performance. The discussion reveals the common pitfalls in calf raise exercises for Achilles rehab. David advocates for high intensity and low frequency in calf raise training. The conversation concludes with insights on the differences between patellar and Achilles tendon management. Rehabbing an Achilles rupture requires careful management of tendon lengthening. Overcoming isometrics are effective for strengthening the Achilles during rehab. Real-world experiences can often contradict existing literature on rehabilitation. Personal experiences with tendon injuries highlight the unpredictability of recovery. Genetics may play a significant role in tendon injuries and recovery. Partial ruptures should be approached with caution, similar to tendinopathy. Pain response is less significant in Achilles rehabilitation compared to other injuries. It's crucial to focus on loading techniques rather than just range of motion. The literature on tendon injuries can be misleading and should be interpreted with caution. Effective rehabilitation requires pushing patients as hard as possible without exceeding their limits. Isometrics can clarify what's working in rehab. Varying surfaces can enhance Achilles rehab. Manipulating center of mass is crucial for rehab. Movement variety is often overlooked in rehab. Tendon mechanics play a significant role in recovery. Heel wedges can provide relief for insertional pain. Upper body tendons require a different approach. Movement variability is essential for upper limb function. Older athletes often lack movement variety and variability. A holistic approach to rehab includes strength, mobility, and control.
