Think Fit. Be Fit.

We say “Power” training you say: ___________? Power training, what sort of images does that conjure?  Little old ladies stepping off a curb or giant hulks performing snatches and cleans?  If you think snatches and cleans you’d be right.  But, if you think little old ladies stepping off of a curb, you’d also be right. Because power training is not about a specific set of exercises, it’s ultimately about load, acceleration and intention.

In this episode, “Power Play,” we once again separate the supposed from the science, like mistakenly relating human power output to the watts displayed on cardio machines, or that moving faster doesn’t mean we’re generating more power.  Dr. J and GG explain why there’s a difference and why it matters.

And if power is a product of stimulating fast twitch muscle fibers, how is that measured?  What do electromyography (EMG) studies tell us about how we recruit different motor units?  What’s a motor unit you ask?  Good question, and an important one at that.  Not to worry, Dr. J and GG provide a simplified explanation.

Finally, the duo gets to what really matters; what we can do in the gym, at home, or anywhere to improve our power.  But in typical Fitness For Consumption style, the solutions are more diverse than you may have originally thought.  Lifting heavy weights? Sure.  Lifting light weights? Sure. Walking, leaping, hopping, skipping?  Sure.  But using these tools that are already in your Fitness Eco-System™ effectively, for developing power, is all in the details and the details are in the episode, so give it a listen and let us know what you think!

In this episode we discuss:

• Power training is not a specific type of exercise
• Power training is primarily about Rate of Tension Development (ROTD)
• Difference between velocity and acceleration and why that matters for power training
• What happens in our neuromuscular system when we intend to move rapidly
• What happens in our neuromuscular system when we intend to move slowly
• Why using heavy load is good for developing power
• Why using light load is good for developing power
• Why using no load and no movement is good for developing power
• Why using no load and no movement is limited in it’s functional transfer for developing power

Glossary:

Acceleration - the rate of change of velocity, or velocity divided by time

Joule - International Systems of Units (SI) measure of work.  One Joule is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one meter 

Motor Unit - a single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers that it innervates

Power - the rate at which work is done, or force times distance, divided by time

Rate of tension development (ROTD) - time course over which the neuromuscular system produces muscular tension

Velocity - the rate of change of displacement, or displacement divided by time

Watt - a unit of measure of power, defined as pound-feet per second 

Work - force times distance

Get ready to stretch the truth.  No, Dr. Juris and Gregory are not promoting little white lies, they’re re-investigating stretching, along with world-class neurophysiologist, Dr. David Behm. 

Stretching and flexibility are topics that seemingly can’t get settled, and there’s no shortage of conventional wisdom, from being insufficient, to being excessive.  This episode unveils the real science behind stretching and flexibility, and explains the difference between too little, too much, or being in the “Goldilocks Zone.

Listen to learn about diffuse noxious inhibitory control and how that can affect pain, relaxation and ultimately, range of motion.  Imagine how you’ll impress your friends at your next Zoom dinner party when you whip that one out!

Perhaps, you’re one of many who supports the objective of achieving maximum range of motion.  You may be less convinced after Dr. J reveals his research findings on highly skilled basketball players.  Dr. Behm ultimately explains the meaning of the Goldilocks Zone and Dr. J concludes with a different perspective on stretching.  The fog that surrounds stretching should finally dissipate.  Whether you stretch, or don’t, this episode is a MUST LISTEN!

In this episode, we discuss

• Stretching for range of motion, warm-up and performance
• The different stretching modalities
• The challenges with interpreting stretching research
• The effects of foam rolling
• Finding the right flexibility balance
• Considering new perspectives

Glossary

Acute - A condition of relatively rapid onset and short duration.

Autogenic inhibition - A neuromuscular process in which sensory mechanisms in tendons inhibit further contraction in the related muscles, after sensing increased tension.

Chronic - A condition of relatively slow onset and long duration.

Diffuse, noxious, inhibitory control - A process by which pain, sensed during stretching, results in inhibition and relaxation of muscles.

Electromechanical delay - The latency between a stretch sensed in the muscle and the ensuing contraction, or relaxation. 

Fascicle - A bundle of muscle fibers surrounded by connective tissue.

Golgi tendon organ - A specialized sensory organ, located in tendons, which responds to increases in muscle tension by inhibiting further muscle contraction.

Inhibition - A specific reduction in neural stimulation and activation of a muscle.

Muscle spindle - A sensory nerve cell, located within skeletal muscle, with specialized fibers that transmit information about change in length, and rate of change of length to the central nervous system.

Nuclear bag fibers - A cluster of fibers within the muscle spindle that is sensitive to dynamic changes in muscle length.

Nuclear chain fibers - A sequential chain of sensory fibers, located in the muscle spindle, that detects changes in the length of muscle.

Plastic - A semi-permanent state of muscle length.

Stretch tolerance - The ability of soft tissues to withstand varying degrees of stretch.

Thixotropic - Improving the viscosity of tissues in order to enhance fluidity and mobility.

Bob Soulierre once described his work as “The party trick that opens your heart”.   That's because is work is the intersection of physical and spiritual.  This episode shares a perspective on how we can use stress as a way to improve our health and physical performance.

Bob is a coach for mindset, breathing, cold exposure and hormesis for stress management. He works with a large array of performers and athletes including CrossFit athletes, opera singers and open water long distance swimmers.  

This all emerged from his own transition from being a corporate cyber jockey on Wellbutrin to having his own feature on the CrossFit YouTube channel as an athlete in control of his health.

You’ll even learn how he has helped Jenn to be effective and potent with her inner work through the teachings of Wim Hoff, Oxygen Advantage and advanced HRV training. 

Topics discussed:

• Showing up for the inner and physical work with presence
• Importance of community in human optimization 
• Going from sufferfest mentality with exercise to leaning into your power with internal knowing
• HRV as a tool for measuring change
• What does a ZERO HRV look like
• The learning curve of changing your body
• Fundamentals of self development
• Pain neuroscience
• Vagus nerve, diaphragm and the goals of improving human performance

How often have you attempted dumbbell presses with half the weight of your barbell bench?  That should work, right? 

After all, if your barbell is balanced, you should have equal weight on both sides.  But unless you’re working with a pretty light barbell load, you recognized that splitting the weight in half doesn’t equate to a comparable workout.  You may think the challenge is related to shoulder stability, but you may want to think again. 

This is a biomechanics issue, which keeps you “In The Moment.”

Listen as Dr. J and GG deconstruct the biomechanics of barbell and dumbbell presses, and even toss an interesting perspective into the debate over fixed path v free weight exercises.

We’re ramping up the math and physics in this episode, but not to worry, you’ll get all the information you need to apply these concepts yourself, and decide; barbell, dumbbell or both?

In this episode we discuss:

• Forces as vectors
• How forces combine and resolve
• Normal forces
• Angle of incidence
• Shoulder moments
• Elbow moments
• Do dumbbells offer more “freedom” than machines?

Glossary:

Angle of incidence - the angular difference between a normal force and an applied force vector

Normal Force - a force which contacts a plane at a perpendicular angle

Resultant - the product of the combined effects of two or more component vectors

Scalar Quantity - A quantity that is fully described by a magnitude alone

Vector Quantity - a quantity that is described by both magnitude and direction

Ask any avid runner what they think about treadmills and they will say...potentially anything!  And for good reason.  Treadmills, like many fitness products, have their polarized camps of promoters and detractors.  Some say treadmills are more effective for conducting highly popular High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, while others say treadmills are a lazier option, as the belt does the work for you.  Can both perspectives be right?  And while some treadmill criticisms are reasonable, do they apply to all treadmills?  After all, not all treadmills are designed equally!  If you have questions about these disputatious devices, listen to this episode in which we discuss the science and research about treadmills, and then decide for yourself if they’re worth a Run For The Money.

In this episode we discuss:

• The most common opposing views on treadmills
• The components of the issues; kinematics, kinetics and running economy
• The reason different studies may show different results
• Whether treadmills belong in the Fitness Eco-System

Glossary:

Coefficient of Restitution - the ratio of the final vs initial velocity of two objects after they collide

Gait - a pattern of limb movements made during locomotion

Ground Reaction Forces - the force exerted by the ground against a body in contact with it

Kinematics - branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces causing them

Kinetics - the study of forces acting on objects

Relative Motion - the motion of one body with respect to another

Running Economy - energy demand for a given velocity of submaximal running
