If Dr. Oscar doesn't have any suggestions I suggest you reach out to Pat Davidson on facebook. He knows of quite a few good PT's who are well trained in PRI techniques (like we are discussing above).

I would be interested to see what you come up with kjetil1234. The intrinsic muscles of the hip and pelvic floor are very interesting, likely the culprit of many issues (vs. the large multijoints muscles), and also something that I do not know much about directly targeting. @feather319 , if...

This is good advice. I do not think many people realize (I myself didn't for a while) how important the diaphragm is as a core muscle. In addition to learning to breath into the stomach its important to be able to maintain the zone of apposition and keep the ribs down. Once you get rib flare...

I will be on Super Human Radio July 9th at 12:00 pm (Eastern time) talking about betaine. We should get into some interesting discussion and novel uses of betaine.

I highly encourage you guys to find a local farmers market or farm stand. During the growing season I can buy all sorts of organic fruits and vegetables for .50 to 1.50 a pound. Local chili peppers usually run about 1$ a pound. My produce bill goes down substantially from the winter, and the...

There's a lot of benefit to eating chili peppers, including enhanced lipolysis, anti-inflammatory properties, and what would appear to be enhanced testosterone production. http://jasoncholewa.com/2012/11/19/the-power-of-chili-peppers/

I apologize for how my post is all scrunched up. For some reason the forum is not allowing me to insert line breaks via using the "enter" key.

Engaging your core and using your daigphram as part of the core musculature will help all your lifts. here is a good article:http://chicagoprimal.com/blog/2013/10/1/your-core-training-is-all-wrong-part-iiHere is another, with a video demonstrating the...

That is correct. This is a work capacity and hypertrophy dominated block.I should have been more specific. I am working up in weight on the primary movement to a rep max, and then working back down. So the first few sets are working, but sub-maximal, and there is only 1 set to failure on the...

Sure. I try to super set each exercise with either a mobility or core movement. Day 1: Incline DB Press, sessions 1-2: 8 x 10, sessions 3-4 8 x 8, sessions 5-6: 6 x 6 Lateral Raise, sessions 1-2: 5 x 12, sessions 3-4: 5 x 10, sessions 5-6: 5 x 8 Lying triceps extension, sessions 1-2: 3 x 10...

I am in a hypertrophy block and using a 2 x push-pull-legs split. The microcycle requires 6 total training days with high volume on one major movement followed by 2-3 ancillary movements per day. Below are the days and the respected major movements:Incline DB PressBent Over or Chest supported...

Here is some newly published evidence that basically shows RDL>glute ham raise>machine leg curl for hamstring activation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24149748 And if you are interested in doing curling, then razor curls > prone machine hamstring curls...

Good deal, feel free to message me if you have more questions. Check out Springfield, they have some really great internship opportunities at big schools across the country (I have friends who have interned (and some later got jobs) at Kansas, Mizzou, etc.)

I have a few thoughts on this. First of all, most graduate programs off assistant ships of some kind where you work for the school (teaching or doing research) and in return they pay for your school and give you a stipend. This might allow you to forgo using your GI bill as well as get extra...

Take the betaine with food. It doesn't matter when, preferable in split dosages to avoid GI issues.

This is correct. SAM is the universal methyl donor. Betaine donates a methyl group to methionine to create SAM. to synthesize VLDL (which is required to mobilize and transport lipids out of the liver) SAM is required in the formation of phosphatidycholine. If you do have lipid accumulations...

To do a low resistance, low fatiguing, greater ROM (in most cases) dynamic movement. Doing so allows you to work on speed of contraction and begin recruiting larger, faster twitch muscle fibers (without fatiguing them) that other wise would not be recruited during the specific warm up.

I wrote about this a while ago here:In short, the warm up should serve the following purposes: 1. Increase muscle temperature and activate required body systems (such as the SNS - adrenal axis). 2. Activate fixator and stabilizer muscles, such as the rotator cuff and lower traps. If you have...

It comes down to methylation metabolism: the consumption of methyl groups to produce creatine and (eventually) lipoproteins, as well as transmethylate (detoxify...as a laymans term) homocysteine. Betaine and folate are both major methyl donors. They donate their methyl groups in these...
