If It Works, It Works

If It Works, It Works


I understand these look goofy 

And lots of y’all call me Seedman for em

Buttttt here me out dude

Cause honestly i don’t care how something looks if it works

All we’re doing here is asking you to rebound in and out of some given end range as fast as you can

What that does is cause the tissues that decelerate or stop you in those end ranges to rapidly apply themselves to decel you and reverse you

So lets take the anterior shoulder move for example

You yank the arm up as fast as you can, knowing you’re going to have to decel at the top, and wanting to do it as late as you can, then you yank it back back down knowing you want to decel as late as you can right at the bottom

Now literally take and get a picture of the humerus working in the joint, and the ligaments, tendons, muscle, etc that is connected there

Those tissues work to keep that joint in place

Now get a picture of how that tissue has to respond with different speeds of stimulus

If you’re moving “normal” speed, there really is no demand of those tissues that is anything out of the normal at those end ranges

But if you’re yanking it, you can now get the picture in your mind of that contractile tissue having to rapidly contract to throw on the brakes and reverse you out of it

And each time it does that it gets a little tighter and more roped in, able to hold that joint in place better

So that’s all we’re doing here

Does it look dumb, sure - and fine

Don’t really care

I’d rather have your joint stay in place tbh
