The Barbell Method

Is instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization the most efficacious choice for treatment? #Repost by Virginia #ClinicalAthleteProvider Michael Ray, DC "The current evidence of RCTs does not support the efficacy of IASTM for treating certain musculoskeletal pathologies.... There is weak evidence supporting the efficacy of IASTM for increasing lower extremity joint ROM for a short period of time. IASTM is a popular form of myofascial therapy but its efficacy has not been fully determined due to the paucity and heterogeneity of evidence. There is a gap between the current research and clinical practice. A consensus has not been established regarding the optimal IASTM program, type of instrument, dosage time, and outcomes measures. Future studies are needed to assess the different IASTM tools and IASTM protocols such as Graston using strict methodology and fully powered controlled trials. The current evidence seems to lack the methodological rigours necessary to validate the efficacy of IASTM itself or any of the IASTM protocols. No explanation required for this one - as of now a butterknife is best used to spread butter or jam or (my favorite) peanut butter on some tasty treat - not release some mythical muscle adhesion/MFTP." #clinicalathleteprovider #svpc #sportsrehab #physicalmedicine #athlete #logicofrehab https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039777/Check this article out to learn more!

Love this! #Repost @westsidebarbellofficial with @repostapp For years I worked construction. Everyday when I came home my training partners were waiting for me in my garage. Whether it was 6pm or 11.30pm they were there waiting to train. I would hop out of my truck and go straight to garage and start to train. No warm up, no food, no change of clothes, just train.... We had a home made rack made from scrap round pipe and we had group of hardcore and dedicated lifters and from this humble beginning we grew.You can have all the fanciest equipment you want and the nicest of training apparel. This don't mean shit if you don't have quality training partners with similar goals and mindsets. Remember big don't mean strong, fancy does not mean better and thinking/writing hardcore don't mean you live hardcore. -Lou www.westside-barbell.com #westsidebarbell #louiesimmons #conjugatemethod #conjugatenation #conjugatestrong #hardcore #realnotfake #powerlifting #weighttraining #strengthtraining #strength101 #strengthandconditioning #fitness #motivation See more

I have to brag about this kid for a minute. Gabe is a boxer @rosevilleboxingacademy and has been working his ass off inside the ring with coach @abramespinosa28 and outside the ring with me @johnniekilos . He shows up day in and day out with no complaints, just ready to work. He has made HUGE strength gains. Almost a double bodyweight deadlift and back squat of 225lbs while maintaining a body weight of 120lbs. This kid is very impressive! He's 1 week out from his first amateur boxing competition and he's more than ready! Keep an eye out for this kid. Big things coming! #Boxing #StrengthAndConditioning #Results #NoFilter #AllMuscle
