In this episode, Derek and Tim discuss the importance of rest and recovery in injury prevention. They emphasize the need for active recovery, including soft tissue work, mobility exercises, and proper hydration and nutrition. They also highlight the role of sleep in muscle repair and the benefits of using heat and cold therapy for recovery. The conversation transitions to injury prevention, with a focus on understanding the body and its movement patterns. They stress the importance of knowledge and awareness in maintaining optimal physical health and preventing injuries. The conversation covers the importance of investing in one's body, seeking professional help for movement imbalances, and being an active participant in recovery and injury prevention. It emphasizes the need for proper form and technique in exercises, the role of community and accountability in group fitness classes, and the potential pitfalls of cheat meals. The hosts also discuss the benefits of counting macros and the importance of muscle balance and diversifying movement. The conversation concludes with a Q&A segment on gaining muscle and the importance of proper nutrition and programming.
[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome everybody to another episode of the Health Movement Podcast. I am Derek, certified
[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_00]: personal trainer to Sport Collegiate Athlete. I'm Tim, I'm a certified athletic trainer,
[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: nationally registered EMT and we will be going over recovery and injury prevention today.
[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But before we get started as always we're not doctors so before beginning any programs,
[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: changing up diet or anything like that, make sure you consult with your physician.
[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And also I want to give a big shout out to and I want to make sure I get the name right here.
[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_01]: The...oh and I lost it. I'm going to have to cut a little this.
[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh there it is. All right I'd like to give a big shout out to the Florida West Southeast
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Business Banking Division for Women's Professional Network. Within Chase Bank they left a very
[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_01]: very kind message after our mindset episode so I just want to say thank you. Thank you to them.
[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So with that being said we're going to jump right into it and we're going to start off with the
[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_01]: importance of rest and recovery. Timmy, you want to jump into this? Yeah I mean I think this
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: is an area that is very underutilized. I think when you come...when you talk about
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_00]: fitness and exercise and living in that space I think the biggest thing that goes
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_00]: under the radar or even unaddressed is the recovery aspect of
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: how you're recovering day to day, week to week and what you're doing actively to work on that.
[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the biggest piece to this is people think rest and recovery and they just
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_00]: think all right well my rest day is just going to be hanging on the couch and just kind of sitting
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: around and not doing much for myself. Personally I think that is probably one of the worst things
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: you can do as far as recovery. I mean yeah you can rest a little bit and give your body a little
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: bit of a break but you should also be doing things actively that are going to be beneficial
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_00]: for how you feel you know the day after two days after your intense workouts or even
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_00]: you know I think the other piece to it too is what you're doing on a global scale on a daily basis to
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_00]: enhance or maximize your recovery day to day. For me what I tell people and this is where we've
[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_00]: already kind of cut...we've already touched on a lot of these topics that are going to affect
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_00]: your day to day recovery. We've talked about you know sleep, hydration, nutrition all of those
[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_00]: things play a major factor in how you recover. What you're putting into your body is going to be
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_00]: the biggest one of the biggest things that you can do to mitigate either inflammation or
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_00]: increase inflammation within your body so those are areas that I think a lot of people need to
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: you know we've talked a lot about dialing those those areas in so we'll touch on that a little
[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_00]: bit here but I think the other piece to this is the active recovery piece to
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: not only recovering but also you know I think the other piece to this whole puzzle
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_00]: is trying to prevent injury right and that's a big area for people that are active but also people
[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_00]: that are inactive or you know just you know you general person that it may be not may not be very
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: active but is dealing with a lot of aches and pains or chronic injury or chronic pain or soreness
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: those go it goes a long way in trying to mitigate what you're feeling and how you're feeling so
[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you know I think that's huge you were saying proactive it's if you've got whatever goal it is
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe physically but also depending on your job like if you're in a job that has a lot of manual
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: labor required and you get hurt like you're knocked out of your job for a while or or if you can't
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: exercise you can't walk then whatever whatever goals you have physically take a hit and it's
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: take that much longer so the proactive piece the recovery not just sitting on your on your butt but
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: you know stretching out doing the foam rolling doing the you know the self self massage that
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: sort of thing it like you had said it makes a huge huge different long term which is important and
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: and you know thinking of people that are are more active and are maybe a gym rat or somebody
[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_00]: that over trains that's the other piece is like well what are you doing to work on mobility are you
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: are you actively working I mean I love the foam rolling piece but not just foam rolling you have
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_00]: to work through the range of motion for each joint in each each area to make sure that you're
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_00]: not overstressing certain muscles or overusing certain muscles or putting more joint or
[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_00]: more stress or load on certain joints I think those are big things that kind of go
[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: unnoticed or unaddressed for especially like you know I've worked a lot with the active population
[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_00]: and you know I've worked with high-end athletes that don't put as much time into it and then
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: they realize that once they start to address some of these shortcomings or some of these
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_00]: what we'll call like you know I don't want to say inadequacies but like you know
[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: insufficiencies in certain areas that they start to find that they're getting gains
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_00]: in areas that maybe they had they're not even working on strength they're they're just
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_00]: they're feeling better they're feeling like they can go through a range of motion more
[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_00]: cleanly more comfortably so those are those are the biggest things for me of the
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: the whole piece to it is you have to be active there's there's two parts to recovery right
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_00]: there's an active piece and there's a passive piece right and for me I put that passive piece
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_00]: as more of what your body does involuntarily how your body reacts physiologically things that you
[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_00]: can't necessarily control but there are those variables that you can control that are going to
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_00]: affect that passive nature right so the active very much affects the passive and I think those
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: are pieces that you really need to start working on or addressing to make sure that you can
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: control as much as you can in that involuntary or passive stage right so the biggest things that
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_00]: we've already talked about hydration nutrition sleep those are the areas that you can control
[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: those controllables right making sure you're getting the seven to nine hours of solid sleep
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_00]: at night trying to stay consistent with your sleep week cycle getting at least half your
[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_00]: body weight and fluid ounces a day if you're sweating and losing sweat through exercise
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: you should probably be doing a little bit more than that I usually tell people 16 to 24 ounces
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_00]: of water for every hour of work so four to six ounces of water for every 15 minutes of work
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_00]: that you're doing during a workout and then maybe supplementing with some electrolytes to help get
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: some of those trace minerals back into your muscles after you've um after you've really
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_00]: expanded you know all of your energy and all of those uh you know those how you always tell
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_00]: people that sweat line on your shirt after your uh after your workout you know those are those
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_00]: electrolytes that you need to try to replace and the other piece to that is is you know the
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: electrolyte supplement you need to be trying to put those back in through natural means right
[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: through your diet and what you're eating nutritionally so getting good sources of lean uh lean
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: protein um you know all the things that come through eating um you know uh eating vegetables
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and yeah yeah that's roots get exactly yeah all the mostly plant-based diet right yeah um so those
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_00]: are all you know those are all the controllable areas I love the soft tissue thing I think that's
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_00]: something that people don't do enough um and they don't address enough is how they feel soft
[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_00]: tissue you know what they're doing soft tissue wise lower body upper body um I see a lot of you
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_00]: know especially people that are active at the gym you know they may be foam rolling but maybe
[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_00]: they're only foam rolling their lower body or they're only um using the soft squishy white roller
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_00]: and you know just going through the motions and not necessarily knowing what they should feel when
[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_00]: they foam roll I love you know it should be a hurt so good type of feeling right so like that uh
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_00]: it definitely does too thick kind of feeling and start light I think this is the other the
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_00]: other area I hear a lot is with the foam rolling in in particular is oh it's uncomfortable it
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: hurts all right well that that I do want it to be a little uncomfortable right but the other piece to
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_00]: that is you're fighting your neural neurologic system right you're fighting your brain to try to get
[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: your brain is what controls the um the tension on that muscle so if you're actively rolling
[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_00]: through it on your own when you're really tense and tight and it's really uncomfortable
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_00]: then back off a little bit don't put as much pressure on there and and don't you know
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_00]: ease your way into that pressure and ease your way into that depth and the lighter you go the deeper
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: you'll get you know when you were working on my um on my forearm I got some bicep tendonitis
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: it you you didn't push very hard in a certain spot and it hurt bad and then by the end once you
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: had worked a little bit you were putting a heck of a lot more pressure on it and there wasn't
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: wasn't nearly the amount of pain it wasn't any pain it's just like you could you could definitely
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: see in even five ten minutes of work how far that had come and it like even today feels so much
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: better I only continue with it and I think you had mentioned to me um lacrosse ball or softball
[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: depending on the the body part to really pinpoint where you're hitting that's made a huge difference
[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and I honestly like the lacrosse ball on my legs way more than a foam roller because I can
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I can really narrow down exactly the point that I'm hitting um and it's it's firm too so you
[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: definitely feel it after a time but it obviously you know you have to work into it and um vary the
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_01]: amount of weight weight and pressure you're putting on it and kind of build it up over time
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_00]: well and you're trying to affect the you're trying to change the quality of that tissue
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_00]: right you're trying to improve the quality of the tissue and um you're also like in this is where
[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_00]: it's a difference between your you working on it versus me working on it right when you're working
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: on it it's it's your neurologic system working on your own neurologic system right so yeah you're
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_00]: trying to trick trick your brain into saying hey this we're trying to get it to let go but
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_00]: when I'm doing it it's a it's an external stimulus right so um I'm able to get to a
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_00]: little bit of a deeper depth maybe or I'm able to get you to a little bit more of a relaxed
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_00]: state versus um versus what you're able to do when you work through it you're you're more than likely
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: still engaging that muscle to a certain degree and you're not able to relax as much right so it's
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_00]: but that doesn't mean you couldn't be doing it right because there's so many different benefits to
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_00]: that self soft tissue work right there's some neurologic benefits you're you're creating
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_00]: that connection between your brain and the muscle you're creating uh blood flow to the area you're
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_00]: getting some heat and some warmth to that area so you're warming up that muscle tissue so I love it
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_00]: for free activity it's great for post workouts where um you're going to create that flushing
[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_00]: mechanism right again talking about that blood flow especially after you've had a hard workout
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_00]: or any kind of workout where that muscle is um breaking down energy and creating that lactic
[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: acid right um it's not to get too deep into the exercise physiology of things but um you have
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: this cycle of uh it's called preps cycle right where the uh your your energy is broken down and it
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_00]: creates that it's the muscle to be able to uh to do its job right so when you use that energy
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: it breaks down into um you know it goes from ATP to ADP not to get too too into it but uh
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_01]: it basically yeah just working up some images to see if I could pop something up and
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_00]: it's so confusing yeah it's not even again not to try to get too too deep into it but that is what
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_00]: creates that lactic acid so when you have a real heavy workout or even if you're not you know you
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_00]: just not used to doing something say for me it's like my first golf round of the year I'll go out
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: and play and then like my ribs and my sides and my abs maybe because I haven't done that movement
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: for you know eight you know eight nine months something like that and then you you feel
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_00]: that soreness because you don't you're not used to using those muscles and that muscle breaking down
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that energy like that and that soreness may last for you know one two three days well now what can we do
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_00]: to try to mitigate some of that soreness right so that's where again the soft tissue stuff working
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_00]: on your recovery um you know the big thing the big things now there's a lot of uh trendy not
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00]: trendy but um you know more more tight you know the the cold plunges or the uh yeah I was gonna ask
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: you about that um because a lot of people will will talk to me about it when do you use heat and when
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: do you use ice like because both can be beneficial which yeah and when it comes to muscular stuff
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a huge proponent for in this all depends on scenario right so if you have an inflection
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_00]: inflammation or you've got an injury or anything like that consult somebody that you know that has
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_00]: a little bit more of a higher knowledge or um can rule out certain injuries and stuff like yeah big
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: thing is like for muscle muscles especially pre activity huge proponents for heat um throwing
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_00]: warmth on it getting it to loosen up and get some blood flow to the area um and then the the
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_00]: cold I always tell people cold afterward um you know the big thing with you know you can use contrast
[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_00]: baths which are hot to cold which creates a muscle pump right like so uh it's like a natural
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_00]: pump because you get in the heat it it vasodilates so it opens up your um your blood vessels and then
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_00]: you hop in the cold and then it constricts your blood vessels and you get back in the hot and
[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_00]: it opens it up so it creates this pump to try to get that that blood to circulate to try to get some
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_00]: of that flush out some of that lactic acid um you know when your real sore hop on a foam roller is
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: going to be real tough so again just start a little bit lighter um you can always get I do like the
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_00]: the thera guns or the uh the therapy guns like the hypervolts or even the thera guns or whatever
[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_01]: knock off so you're using them but yeah I honestly knock off for 40 bucks on amazon to get one of those
[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: thera guns it it you don't have to spend 300 bucks on them you can get them for a little cheaper but
[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_00]: they help they definitely help and but I always tell people like it should be a supplement to the
[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00]: rolling versus uh versus a replacement right because that that uh percussion gun is just kind
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: of beating that tissue up versus a roller where it's softening and lengthening out
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: because your muscle works through a pump right you're uh uh contract relax so it's
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_00]: always contracting always relaxing so trying to and then over thousands and thousands and thousands
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_00]: of contractions or action relaxes it starts to tighten up and stiffen up and you're really
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: trying to get it to lengthen back out and get to know that it can get to that full range of motion
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_00]: and that full muscular range of motion so you're not maybe instead of 60 to 70 uh percent efficiency
[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: coming out of your muscle you can get closer to 90 or 100 percent and then it starts to actually be
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_00]: able to take on some of the some of the load too so um those are those are big aspects for me of
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_00]: of working on yourself recovery your must you know your muscular recovery and then systemic recovery
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_00]: is again a lot of the stuff that we've talked about previous to this the nutrition hydration
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_00]: sleep is the biggest one you know you talk about um when your muscles do the most amount of recovery
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_00]: or repairing um it comes during your sleep right and I think the piece to this is recovery is
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: your your body's response to the trauma right and I think trauma is a word like stress where
[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: it kind of gets a bad rap right there's good stress and there's bad stress the same thing with
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_00]: trauma there's good trauma there's bad trauma um obviously a significant or a sudden impact injury
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_00]: or any type of pathological injury that's a bad trauma right but you look at strength training
[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_00]: resistance training well you're traumatizing the muscles still right we talked about this in our
[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_00]: in our um in our episode a few a few episodes ago for the resistance training where that muscle
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_00]: breaks down by tearing the muscle and then the protein builds that the protein synthesizes back
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_00]: into it and helps to build that muscle a lot of that happens during your sleep right so
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_00]: most of that happens during your sleep so that's where you know making sure that you're
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_00]: checking all of those boxes is is very important to uh to making sure that you
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_00]: feel as good as you can but also this leads into the next topic of making sure that you
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: can try to prevent your injury or try to prevent injury right and try to prevent
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_00]: you know in an injury doesn't have to be sudden impact like we were talking about it could be
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_00]: something like you were dealing with right like a tendonitis you had Achilles tendonitis
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_00]: over time gets worse worse and worse and and what were what were you doing
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_00]: in once we worked through it right you weren't doing a lot of the things that we know I would
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: stretch it I would walk and I'd stretch and I and that was it but once I started um putting
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: heat on it I would do the the self tissue the self the self soft tissue stuff I would use the
[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: lacrosse ball I would do all that stuff then I'd hit it with the Theragon and I'd spend
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: 20 minutes when I got to the gym and it it feels a lot better I mean it's not 100% yet but it was
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_01]: probably like 30 40% and now it's close to that 80 85 range okay and that's
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: sorry go ahead no no I was gonna I was gonna ask you about I'm gonna be like Tom Brady who
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: was able to play well into his 40s and to be honest I feel like he could probably suit up today
[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and still do a great job um is this all based on his work that he would do with injury prevention
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_00]: something like that you look at his consistency and that is the number one right is the for him it's
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_00]: and and it's funny because you talk about like how he
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_00]: start you know how he started versus where he is now right and when he he talks about
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_00]: where he was in 2007 2008 like right after he had that ECL surgery and even before that he was
[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_00]: you know he talks about an injury that I think it was a groin injury that he had
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_00]: where he was or his groin or elbow I can't remember which one it was but it was it was
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_00]: he was like borderline on on like gonna have surgery right and then it it turned into he
[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_00]: he found the method of being able to address the soft tissue but then also systemically try to cut
[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_00]: down on some of his uh some of his um habits right his his nutritional habits and all that kind of
[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff and his nutrition is well known to be super super dialed in and a little crazy at times but
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_00]: it it seemed to work you know I don't necessarily think that that is reinventing the wheel right
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just it's just um putting everything under the same umbrella and having a multifactored
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00]: approach to recovery into injury prevention right and it's never gonna be I think people want a magic
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_00]: pill right people just want to take the take take something that's going to make everything
[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_00]: feel better and then that's just not how things work you have to be an active participant in your
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00]: wellness to be able to get to get to where you want to be and see the results you want to be
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and also long term try to prevent as much injury as much pain in in discomfort as you possibly can
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I think one thing sorry uh and then sorry don't forget your point but I think one thing people
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: really focus on is I don't want this injury or I don't want this sort of thing and they don't
[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_01]: take the time to learn all the steps that are involved in overcoming whatever it happens to be
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and and you look at somebody who wants to lose weight they're like all right I need to cut this
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: many calories and then I'll be good but if you understand the why and how it all works
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: it it gives you that knowledge so when life changes and things are different
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_01]: you can adjust what you're doing to still maintain that that path that you're on
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think that's huge is getting the the knowledge and the understanding on
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_00]: why this all works you nailed it the knowledge right and and this is for me as as a clinician
[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: as an athletic trainer um and even just as sometimes as a friend right it's my knowledge
[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_00]: of the human body yeah I have all of that knowledge but it's your body too and this is what I tell
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_00]: people is like you need to people should have a general understanding right and you should
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_00]: have a general idea of how your body works and what what necessarily is the problem and
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_00]: what you're what you might be dealing with and I think even just having a general knowledge of
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_00]: muscles and bones and you know you don't have to know every single bone in your body or every
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_00]: single muscle in your body but having a general idea of what's where and what's what in um
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_00]: you know how to use it I think that's the biggest thing is you look at in we have a saying as clinicians
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_00]: is some people are just motor morons right they just they don't know how to use their body they
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: don't they're not interconnected to how they move right so um and that's you you see it and this
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_00]: is where you get outside the athletic population you get into like a general population and
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: just because you're like that doesn't and this goes back to our mindset piece of
[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_00]: just because you're like that and you move like that doesn't mean you can't change that in
[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: your brains look at computer and you can program it however or you you can try to program it how
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_00]: or or work on programming it to a certain certain movement pattern and changing movement
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_00]: patterns and it doesn't happen overnight and again that's what people the problem that
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_00]: people will face the most is the results come in over time they don't come in a week or two weeks
[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: they they they take time they take repetition they take days months years to even try to perfect
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00]: and you look I look at some of the the most elite athletes that I've ever worked with
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_00]: and they all have asymmetries we all have asymmetries in our body and that's what
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_00]: we're trying to chase is symmetry left to right front to back top to bottom you want the muscles
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_00]: to be working in unison together as a unit versus certain muscles are doing all of the work certain
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_00]: muscles are fighting that and creating worse issues for those muscles that are trying to work through
[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: it and then that's how you get into a um you know a cycle that leads to injury leads to um
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_00]: imbalance and then over time you know and this is where like people with in you know you talk
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: about soft tissue injuries or you talk about um you know tendonitis or even like uh you know
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I work a lot with like um I've worked a lot with with lower back injuries um you know
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_00]: disc problems things like that yes they can come from sudden impact movements and you know you
[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_00]: bend over and you lifting correctly but a lot of the times that's the straw that broke the camel's back
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_00]: it's the fact that you've done that movement you know a thousand times like that and then you've
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_00]: just increased the load a little bit and then it goes right so that's where I think the biggest
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_00]: thing is is knowing in for me it's it's fine you're never gonna I have I have movement
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and balances I have my own problems and sometimes I can't see them like I'm a professional and I
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I could look at anybody else's movement and be like ah this is your problem but sometimes I can't
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't address my own issues because I can't see it like somebody else can see it so try to find
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_00]: somebody that you trust is knowledgeable in um the human anatomy and you know whether it's a
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_00]: physical therapist and athletic trainer or chiropractor like there are plenty of professionals
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_00]: out there that are willing to help that have the knowledge that know what is right and what is wrong
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_00]: and investing in your body is is one of the most important things you can do
[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: there was um there was a guy I was working with and he was walking in front of me and you could
[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: see his ankles or his feet kind of roll in and I'm like do you have ankle pain he's like yeah
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like how about knee pain he's like yeah and it because those feet were just so in that I'm like
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: have you ever worn orthotics anything like that I mean you can get them not they're not that expensive
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: off off Amazon and it just straightens those feet out and then it helps realign everything else
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: coming up so a lot of times the issue a knee pain doesn't necessarily come because there's
[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01]: some imbalance in the knee or something wrong with the knee it could be you're carrying
[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: too much weight on top or your hips are out of place or your ankle something like that
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and then your knee has to try to adjust to that and then that causes causes pain elsewhere so
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: like you said you need to sometimes have somebody else take a peek and see what's going on with
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you and why the why those issues are are happening and I think the other piece to that
[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_00]: is is investing like I said invest your money your time into into making yourself feel better
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_00]: and if you don't put the time and effort into your wellness then you're going to be forced
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_00]: to put the time and effort into your illness right and I think that's a that's an old adage
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_00]: right or a pretty common saying of if you don't if you don't put you know make time for your
[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_00]: wellness you're gonna make time for your illness and I had a former client that her biggest
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_00]: saying was shout out Carolina I don't know if you're ever going to see this but uh
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_00]: her old adage was your health is your wealth right so um you know if if you make time for your
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_00]: your your health now and for me and you like we're a little bit younger but once you start getting into
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_00]: 60 your 50s 60 70s you're gonna it's an aggregate effect so if you don't start doing it early
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah you can do it later on you're gonna see a benefit but prolonged over time you're gonna
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_00]: see an even bigger benefit towards the back end the back nine right that's where you're
[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: gonna really see the big difference and uh in that with that thought a lot of people are like
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it's too late but think of how quickly the years go by and in five years you know
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you blink and five years have gone by and in the future you're gonna thank yourself starting
[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_01]: today it's better to start when you're younger but sometimes you know regardless of how old you
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: are start today don't wait till tomorrow don't wait till Monday don't say oh after the new
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_01]: year any of that stuff like fix it now start now and you will be thanking yourself in a couple weeks
[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: couple months and then on the years going by because you're just able to appreciate so much more life
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: um if you're willing to take the time to do it and don't ignore how you feel either i think
[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_00]: that's another thing i think is like people ignore what they're feeling and then over time it
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_00]: starts to creep up on you a little bit more like think of your bicep injury right or your bicep
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_00]: tendonitis is like initially it's just a little sore and it's not too bad and then over time it's like
[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_00]: all right now i feel it when i'm opening doors i feel it when i'm pouring my coffee in the morning
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_00]: like you start to feel it with everything right and then um and then it starts to it's not just
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_00]: affecting you how you lift or how you're moved or your exercise or anything like that it's affecting
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_00]: you in your day-to-day life right and that's and then it starts to affect your your mental
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_01]: wellness right and then it's yeah it starts to creep in on you that changes quick you're like oh
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_00]: again again i yeah you definitely get frustrated it's hard to it's hard to be have a great outlook
[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_00]: or feel happy if you're not feeling 100 percent if you're if you're paying all the time you know
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: it's it's a it's a hard uh the hard line there it is it is so if you if you were to sum up
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: the most important things with the recovery and injury prevention and i'm i know i'm just putting
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: you on the spot here but what would you just to wrap this up what would you what would you say that
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_00]: would be the biggest thing is being an active participant in it right like you can't expect
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_00]: somebody else to do the work for you um and again that's something i think i see sometimes
[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_00]: with with some of the people that i've worked with is they want me to do it for them right
[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_00]: and again i've i've got a lot of as a clinician you're going to have those people that come in
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_00]: and they're like ah well you know i felt great when i was leaving here but then you come back and
[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_00]: you know they haven't done any of the things that you tell them and they just want you to
[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_00]: put them back to where they were when they left last time and yeah i can i can get you feeling
[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe 50 60 70 better in you know a treatment session but beyond that you have to put the
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_00]: work in it's the other 23 hours of the day that are really going to make the difference
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: and the other six days of the week right and that's where they're not going to see you every day so if
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_01]: it's once a week for an hour like you're right you're right that's huge and even when i was
[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_00]: seeing kids every day you know at the collegiate level you i was able to work with my athletes
[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_00]: every day but i wasn't going to put all the work in for them and you have to make them
[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: make them responsible for their own wellness and and again that's that's hard in the collegiate
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_00]: setting it was hard because you can see them every day if you need to and that's they used to tell
[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: kids like i i shouldn't see you every day unless you're post surgical or you're dealing with a
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00]: super you know a very acute injury that's when i would be seeing people pretty much on a daily
[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_00]: basis but outside of that even the chronic stuff the tendonitis and all that other stuff
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_00]: it's more about what you put in in your own time than what you do with that you know
[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_00]: half hour hour you do with whoever you're working with you know yeah but the biggest thing
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_00]: so the biggest takeaway is you need to be an active participant in your recovery
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: in your injury prevention to see the results that you really want to see
[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_01]: all right um as i mentioned in previous episodes if you want to get in touch with us
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_01]: healthmovement.us is the website we're going to add in a couple sections here
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: where if you have any um anything that that have happened fitness confessional
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_01]: something like that that you've experienced maybe anything that you've done that maybe
[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: you're a little bit of a bonehead or something stupid you want to share with us we can share those
[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: completely anonymously or you can throw your name on it if you want um also if you have any
[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: questions you want answered on the show happy to do that as well and if you're looking for
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: coaching or any help like that there's there's a form on the website healthmovement.us you
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_01]: can hit up but i thought i would um i would hop on the first fitness confessional here and
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: share myself being a being a moron and kind of a jerk i felt bad about this but uh when i first uh
[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_01]: during the the earlier part of my lifting career when i was really getting a sense of all this stuff
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: i was at the gym and there's this couple that would show up all the time and they're both
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: strong as can be i mean the guy would rep 225 275 315 on the incline bench
[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and it effortlessly um and i had read some stuff on front squats so i'm like i mean give these a shot
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and when i'm doing them i i have my arms crossed i'm holding the bar but the bar is going across
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_01]: my arms and i'm holding it up with with with my arms and i didn't have a lot on there i think
[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_01]: it was 135 pounds but holding that up on your arms and trying to do squats i realized pretty
[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_01]: quickly i wasn't doing something right so i went over and i asked the guy i'm like hey do you do front
[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: squat like i'm doing something wrong with my technique and he was like yeah no i don't really
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: at all so he couldn't help me i'm like all right i walked back away and then a minute later the
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: girl who's working out with him all the time comes over and she goes i can help you with that
[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and i was like oh i'm like i felt like such a jerk because i i assumed that the guy knew and i
[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: didn't even bother asking her she obviously was a was a fanatic going to the gym and knew what she
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: was talking about but i just i dismissed her and i still to this day feel like a jerk because she
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: knew a heck of a lot more than the two of us did she is a basketball coach and did a lot with
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: the strength and conditioning with the girls and she immediately showed me the right form
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: and it was easy after that you know the bars up on your shoulders and your arms are just
[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_01]: kind of supporting and balancing it there but the weight's going on your shoulders so
[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_01]: i definitely felt like a jerk after that one there i don't know so if anybody else has anything
[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: they want to share at some point in time you can hop on the website health movement dot us and share
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: share some of your uh moronic moments if you want um another section we want to add in
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and these won't be every week but we can cycle through it as a take it or leave it section
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_01]: where we throw out a topic or an idea and we either take it or we leave it talk through it quickly
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe take 30 seconds 45 seconds and kind of rapid fire through this so uh first thing tim group
[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_01]: fitness what are your thoughts on that take it or leave it i'm gonna i'm gonna take it i think
[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_00]: the biggest thing is um for people sometimes is is that camaraderie and there's a good energy to
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_00]: those fitness classes right um talking in there's it's a pretty broad spectrum whether it's spin or
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: um you know those yoga classes or even if you're in a crossfit gym or something like that
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_00]: i think there's a good amount of community to that and it helps to build a community to
[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_00]: to make it um make it a little easier for people to to to be able to show up and be there
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_00]: and it also keeps you accountable a little bit too i think when you start going to those
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_00]: community things and then you go to those group fitness classes and then you start you miss a
[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_00]: miss a day or you miss a week people start calling you out and be like hey where were you
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_00]: you know what i mean yeah exactly i think i think there's a good community there and there's uh
[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: you know there's a big uh a big a big benefit to that i'm gonna i'm gonna take it with one
[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: one small caveat is um it's gotta depend on a a the instructor um has to be good um but my my only
[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: concern with the group fitness is when people start to overdo it which um you don't see as much in
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: like a spin class or yoga class because um the weight that you're using there is not really
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_01]: gonna cause too much injury but if once you get into a crossfit class or a group class
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_01]: it's got a lot of weight to it if you're doing that every day um and you're not giving your body
[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: time to recover that's when injuries happen and if you've got an instructor with 20 people in a class
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_01]: they're not really able to give you that individualized attention so if you're dealing with an injury
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_01]: shoulder issue something like that and you try to fight through it in a crossfit class that's
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that's gonna just lead to more injury so i think 95 percent of the time i'll take it
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: because it gets people in there it gets people moving but you just have to be careful um with
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: that that's where the biggest the biggest thing as you mentioned is is the coach to client ratio
[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: right i think that's a big a big thing so like you said if you got 20 20 clients and then one
[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: coach in there you're not going to get much form correction or you're not going to get much uh
[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: much instruction per person that you would out of you know say a 10 to 1 there a 5 to 1 type
[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: ratio right so the ratio is important and i i i do think that it's uh that's definitely a
[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_01]: the good caveat something like a spin class or something you know that you could do with a different
[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_01]: ratio um not saying that's an easy workout because that'll that'll kill you um but you're not going
[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: to get as injured and in you can dial it back if you need to based on based on where you are
[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_01]: um all right next one take your leave it cheap meals how do you feel on that on those
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_00]: i'm gonna i'm gonna leave it i think yeah it's uh it's again we talk more about consistently
[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: consistency right so i think if you're you're following the 80 20 rule correctly you don't
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: necessarily need a one meal a week that you can point to right that you're saying uh this is
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_00]: where i'm gonna i'm just gonna eat like an absolute animal and not worry about it right
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and you look at somebody like doin the rock johnson and i what i look at his his cheap meals
[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and they're insane right so it's like yeah those those things are okay and it's you don't have to
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_00]: wait to again it's you have if you look at it if you're eating three squares a day um and it depends
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_00]: on what your dietary habits are like and you know whether you're eating you know three three bigger
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_00]: meals a day or six smaller meals a day it doesn't really matter but as long as you're following
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_00]: the 80 to 20 rule i think it's okay to step outside of that more than just a cheat meal type
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_00]: of um you know scenario i think that cheat meal creates a little bit of a imbalance in in how people
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: will think and then it i think it also leaves the door open to fall off that wagon a little bit
[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: more so i'm i'm gonna leave that yeah i'll leave it too and if you're in that 80 80 85 percent um
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you can have some food that might not be the healthiest stuff in the world um but it the once a week
[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_01]: where you're eating like an absolute jerk um and if it if it extends from like lunch and to dinner
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_01]: to late night ordering pizza sticks or whatever it happens to be sometimes those can those can
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_01]: go down a rocky road pretty quickly i think so i'm gonna leave it if you can follow the other
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_01]: thing like as we say before you have a bowl of ice cream when you want or something like that if
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_01]: that's something important to you but if you're if you're good 80 to 85 percent of the time i'd
[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: i'd i'd i don't know i'd i'd leave it as well and that kind of leads us into the last one
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_01]: is counting macros um and i'll jump on this one first i'm gonna take this 100 percent of the
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: time if if that doesn't trigger something in you because some people uh the the relationship with
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: food is a really tough one so any sort of counting anything is gonna is gonna be a trigger and then
[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: then obviously leave it 100 but if you're able to do that even protein like if you just want to
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: focus on how much protein you're getting and you're just counting that macro and you're eating
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_01]: clean the other ways like i think that's huge but if you're only getting 50 grams of protein a day
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_01]: you're you're not giving yourself in your body the fuel that it needs um so i am gonna take that 100
[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_00]: percent i think the biggest thing and i'm gonna take it as well but again with the the kind of
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_00]: aside that you're talking about is i think the biggest piece to it is you don't have to
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_00]: necessarily count i think it's just an awareness right an awareness of what is a protein what's
[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_00]: a good fat what's a carb right and i think this is where people don't really understand that
[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_00]: carbs get a bad rap in my opinion anyways and i think it's you know you think of the pasta
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: and the bread and all those things but when i you know there are other great sources of carbohydrates
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_00]: that that i think kind of go unknown or unnoticed and then you know you talk about like a sweet
[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_00]: potato or some some sort of vegetable that has those carbohydrates in it but then also have these
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_00]: other micronutrients in it that that go by the wayside so i think the the macros are good but you
[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_00]: need to also focus on the micronutrients that come with eating lean meat or lean meat in
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_00]: a balanced diverse vegetable source like those are all areas that you need to also focus on
[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: and not forget about and i think that's a big piece to nutritional advice is don't just worry about
[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_00]: you do need to worry and be aware of the macros you also need to know about the micros and in that
[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_01]: how important those are as well. Perfect all right we have a couple questions to answer
[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_01]: i'm going to skip the first one on the show notes that we had and i'll just jump right into
[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: the second one there um in this we kind of talked about a little bit but this is from jack
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_01]: from arizona state university like to thank the sun devils for hopping on the show here with us
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_01]: but how do i gain muscle and we've talked about this but jack is a sophomore there at arizona state
[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_01]: so his muscle development when you when you're 19 years old you just look at a weight and you
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_01]: start building muscles so it's definitely easier at that point in time but the keys that we've
[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_01]: talked about building for building muscle is you need to be in a caloric surplus surplus excuse me
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_01]: so you need to be taking on more calories than your body's burning and you need to hit
[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_01]: your protein levels uh you need to have i would aim for a gram of protein per per body pound of
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_01]: body weight as we talked about um and you need sleep and you need proper programming you have
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: to be lifting right you need to be getting in that lower rep range as opposed to if you're
[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: lifting 15 20 reps per set that's going to build muscle endurance more than muscle strength and
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_01]: when you go from muscle strength that's when that muscle really breaks down and you're allowed to
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_01]: build it back um so those things your rest are recovery getting enough protein and really fueling
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_01]: the body uh the way that you need to or that those are the keys and it it's it's simple yep and
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_00]: i think uh you know in in stick to the you know stick to the basics um your basic movements
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_00]: your uh you know your deadlift your squat you know the i'm a big fan of of um of all those kind of
[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_00]: things i think the resistance training is important um and also diversifying your movement is important
[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_00]: to this kind of i kind of should have said that before and then the injury prevention uh
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_00]: recovery aspect of things because that is important of you if you continuously move in the same
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_00]: movement patterns all the time in the same movement planes and you don't diversify that movement
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_00]: that's how you're going to start to put yourself at risk for breakdown injuries or things like that so
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: you know where of that stuff is is important too so um you know in in the muscle the muscle
[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_00]: stuff is is important you know is is uh is definitely a protein and all that stuff that you're
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_01]: talking about is good so i i think just one quick point that's not really anything to do with
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_01]: this question that you mentioned about mixing it up there there are a lot of things out there
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_01]: like um there was the 100 push-up challenge where you do 100 push-ups a day for 30 days
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01]: which is great for exercise but all you're doing is building up your chest and you're not touching
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_01]: your back or your biceps or anything like that so you need that muscle balance so if you're going
[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_01]: to hit your chest 100 times a day you better hit your back 100 times a day and probably more
[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_01]: if you're going to error on one side as opposed to the other with the way people are sitting
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're hunched and your chest gets tight you got to work that back almost more than you
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: have to work your chest to try to counter that that goes back to that asymmetry symmetrical thing
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_00]: that we're trying to chase right and that's what i'm saying left to right front to back
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_00]: up and down like um those are those are all important to try to to try to make sure that
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_00]: you're working on all of those muscle groups and and understanding that all of those muscle
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_00]: groups and all of those things affect each other and um you know a lot of the times with aches
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_00]: pains or or just pain in general people don't realize like especially muscular pain a lot of it's being
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_00]: you know come you feel it in a specific area but some of that can be fed from other other portions
[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_00]: or other areas on your your body so just making sure that you have a better understanding of
[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_00]: of that and again that goes back to dealing talking with a professional and finding someone
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_00]: that you know has a good knowledge in that stuff and can help you try to figure that out on your
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_01]: road absolutely all right um once again any feedback any questions any comments uh health
[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_01]: movement dot us you can find us on there we're going to start having guests on with us uh pretty
