Your nice blog is actually worth a read if anyone results in it. Im lucky i did so because now Ive got a completely new view of this specific. I didnt realise until this issue was so important and thus universal. You definitely input it in perspective for everybody, thanks for the fantatic material.

Amen Jeremy. I am fixing Crossfitters all the time with Corrective Exercise. People can’t even join in my kettlebell classes till they do an FMS to make sure they are fit to do so.

I think it isles the individual trainers that run the boxes
good concepts given over to commercial success
there are RKC’s I wouldnt trust to train a potato
that doesn’t make the RKC evil

I will say the frequency of the training regimen leads many to overuse and eventually the predictable results

sell anything and anyone will buy it
teach something and only those that learn will benefit

Comment on Myofascial Winding for Performance by Raptor

I’m pretty much the other way around, although I suck at depth jumps. I’m just pretty good unilaterally. Never was good in this life at bilateral stuff, regardless of what they are (standing vertical, broad jump, squat, whatever).

There’s still a strength/voluntary force in unilateral stuff too though.

Getting back to the article though, what you’re saying here is that say in a sprint or a one-leg jump, the palm of the opposing hand of the driving foot should be facing upwards a bit? (because we get lost into supination and pronation and rotation and all that)

Irradiation is a very interesting effect. Pavel talks about it often in teaching full body tension. Tension is strength so maximally contracting all your surrounding muscle, even when doing a barbell curl, helps produce maximal force. Almost all “grinds” or non-ballistic KB movements are taught with the irradiation principle.
The neural aspect of connective tissue is extremely interesting to me right now. I’m very much a strength dominant athlete but, would really like to turn myself into the more elastic, tendon dominant athlete. Keep doing my plyo’s and iso I guess. Practice that spiral winding as well .

Good article, really interesting. There’s so much about our body we have yet to identify in terms of function. Like the irradiation effect, for example.

Comment on Some of my Ideas on KB training… by Jeremy Layport

The KB has been an incredible tool for accomplishing all of those goals. Nothing I’ve ever done personally has blown me out (cardiovascular) like KB swings. Let me know how it goes, and keep us up dated on your progress.

Good stuff Jeremy, I’m currently doing speed swings with my 24 kg KB everyday for about 4 intervals of 30s (I do about 15-20 reps on each interval) for fat loss but also for glute activation/learning how to use the hip drive better… I’ll see how it goes.

Ryan,

Iso’s complexed with Drops or Landings are a great introductory block for future reactive or rate work.
Ex: Iso single leg deadlift w single leg altitude landings are great to strengthen position,SEC, and teach how to absorb force. Once progress stagnates go into single leg speed box jumps or single leg hops and bounds.
Ex: Iso bench with drops to progress into reactive bench

Brandon,

Glad to hear of your success. I’ve only been playing around with the LDISO’s with my teams. Most of my athletes don’t have the focus or desire (Jay’s PIPES) that LDISO’s require there for I’m not sure about the results piece of it. For teaching correct muscle firing, position, and flexibility I have seen great benefits form the Iso’s. I’m hoping Jay holds a seminar on the west coast in the near future so I can grasp LDISO’s even better.
As for your question regarding Iso’s and rate work for the bodybuilding community, yes they do have a benefit. Jay and Poliquin both have an arm workout that has Iso’s and rate work in it, that claims to increase the arms 1 inch for 24hr period. Christian Thib’s I Body Builder on T-Nation shows him doing some rate work and maximal explosive overcoming Iso curls. Nothing will set up hypertrophy better then power work.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy Layport

Hello,
Have a question that might fit this category since it includes “off subject” matter. How would methods such as LDISOS,plyometrics,RFI,OI etc. be beneficial to the “bodybuilding” community perhaps someone that wants to compete as a “natural”?
