0:00 - 2:52- Intro
- We will be loking at Fascial Rebound today.
- Power Output and Force Production seems to be more correlated to the Fascia instead of the Muscle.
- Level up Your Life
2:53 - 7:31- The outdated theory of Human Movement
- Motion is traditionally dictated by Classical Newtonian mecbahnics; we still look a the Body like a machine.
- It’s only part of the equation
- Newtonian Mechanics is only accurate in artificial positions
- Lifting anything but a Barbell
- Human Movement moves in all planes of Movement simultaneously.
- Rotation is always happening on some level.
- If any part of Your Body is not integrated or under-utilized that is Your Rate-Limiting Step.
- Bill Parisi’s Quote
7:32 - 13:25 - Why our training systems need to be upgraded
- We need to understand Movement n a higher level to upgrade our training systems.
- Movement in Life Circumstances = Task-based objective that needs to be completed as efficiently as possible.
- How do we train these forms of Movement
- Michol Dalcourt Story; he was training his players to be faster to the puck, the farm kids were beating his players
- Ancestrally makes sense; Hunterer-Gatherer examples, Farm and Homesteading examples
- Niek’s childhood examples
- Why movements in the gym will never be seen again outside of the gym and therefore has very litlle carryover
13:26 - 15:04 - When isolation training is a waste of time.
- Translating Real-Life Movement situations into the gym is very complex.
- Isolation exercises in Life because its too inefficient; the Body is designed to prevent isolation
- Contractile Potential of the Muscle is not the primary driver of Power output.
15:05 - 18:17 - Properties of Fascia
- Fascia is a colloid; physcial material suspened in liquid
- 3 Key features of Fascia; (1) viscosity, (2) elasticity, (3) plasticity.
- Viscosity defined + example
- Elasticity defined + exampe
- Plasticity defined + example
- Fascia is a non-newtonian fluid
- Fascia is visco-elastic; long-slow loading times = change in shape, short quick movements (under 1.5 secs) = leverage elastic properties
18:18 - 19:36 - Why are these properties so important?
- These properties allow the fascia to stabilize the body; it also allows fascia t distribute fascia
- The Body is designed to spread out force and stress.
- Distribution of Force + Stabilization = Amplify Movement
- Fascia can continually remodel itself; makes it extremely trainable
19:37 - 25:56 - The Science behind Power belonging to the Fascia instead of the Muscle
- University of Tokyo Study; found that the Achilles Tendon is responsible for the power output, not the muscle.
- The muscle was an isometric contraction.
- Using Your hands as visualizing how Actin & Myosin work.
- What an isometric Contraction is.
- An isometric contraction allows for energy transfer into the tendon; so lengthen Your connective tissue!
- Helene Langevin Study; 40% of a muscles contractile force goes into adjacent muscles.
- Prove it to Yourself with a Bicep curl
- What is muscle co-stiffening.
- More muscles co-contraction = mre force storage = more force output
- Review of the Muscle-Fascia relationship
25:57 - 30:40 -
- How Fascia creates Legendary power
- Thomas Myers calls this Interoceptive Totality; the ability to channel force through the entire body.
- This is what You see in Top-Level Athletes, Karsten Warstrom.
- If though it feels good to train strength in the gym, its translation to power production is low, because its as fast as the Rate Limiting Step.
- What happens in the Preload Movement.
- Your trying to get the Fascia to co-contract overy single muscle, reverse the cycle, reprroduce it.
- Fascia is a non-calorie-consuming tissue.
- Basketball shooting sleeve analogy
- This is why You can walk for hours.
30:41 - 32:42 - Review and Close-Out
- Fascial Rebound is the ability of Fascia to produce tremendous amounts of force.
- Why do You need to pay attention it? Because its the lead generator in creating powerful movement.
- How does Fascia do this? By linking muscles in co-contraction.
- What role do muscles play? They support the fascia, they work together.
- Consequences of ignoring fascia.
