Paul Chek discusses the steps he has taken with previous clients to successfully rehabilitate them. #success #mindset #rehabilitation #personaltrainer #PaulChek
And every single word is gold..Paul is one of the best health practitioners out there. we are lucky to have him and for him to give us this information for free..you should probably focus on that
As a former patient of a chek practitioner followed by learning his entry level courses, I can safely say any health practitioner will benefit greatly from learning his work..
who ever edited this i think heard about the research that stated something along the lines of 'more cuts of the video, persons attention span is reset and you can keep them watching longer' and then decided to chop 1 sentence in 55 bits because it's trandy. Just because that works for Mr Beats doesn't mean it works here especially when there are 55 cuts per sentence
i hope your explanation can help my father consider changing his strategy fighting his spinal stenosis. He's 73, hasn't played golf for a few years and is being pinballed by well meaning doctors and therapists qualified, but not effective. He has the exact issues you mention around 9:50. Now, after a couple years of shots in the low back (with diminishing resolution) and p.t., they're doing more tests (mri & ultrasound). It's disheartening for me to witness. If there are any CHEK pro's in Las Vegas who can step in here, please let me know.
I'm torn a bit...being NASM CPT-PES-CES...I believe wholeheartedly the integrated approach to fitness however I have thoughts on how machines are far superior to free weights as it relates to function and strength. A basic understanding of physics needs to be considered. Free Weights are great tools when used properly however they have a basic shortcoming in that they only provide resistance from 1 direction, unidirectional resistance. The human body moves in a rotational fashion, all joints rotating around an axis, and in order to provide effective resistance to a muscle throughout the entire range of motion...the resistance must be rotational. In addition, the resistance need to variable and balance in accordance with the muscles being worked. As we know, muscles are stronger or weaker depending on the position, and the resistance needs to be vary and be balanced to mimic that. If you take a barbell curl, this is a 140 degrees rotation from start to finish. It's at the halfway point where the forearm is parallel to the ground, you're pulling straight up, and the barbell is pulling straight down to where there's effective resistance. Before and after that point there's very little resistance on the muscle. A machine that is built around the principles of full-range resistance, will provide effective resistance throughout the entire range of motion so that the muscle is as strong as it can be at every degree of its rotation. In addition, most free weight exercises allow the "lock out" to happen. As we know, the only position where a muscle is capable of activating all of the available fibers is at the fully contracted position. When you lock out, that's normally in the fully contracted position, all the resistance is taken off the muscles and onto the bones/joints...precisely what you don't want. Again, my take. Thanks Paul!
Machines are great for strength like you mentioned. I think the point Paul is making here, is if you can't control your mobility in end ranges without a machine (for instance, when you walk, run, lunge, sprint, etc.) then you increase the chances of getting injured. I agree that machine training is very helpful in helping people become strong to better get into the ranges of motion they get into throughout the day. Gray Reini (AT) talks about this positive impact machines have. And when done correctly it can help a lot of people, but transitioning that strength into power or even mobility is not always easy because the motor system learns based off our habits, early experiences and many other somatic factors. As Paul said, when you start training for power, working with the same weights that you would work for strength would not make sense. But many people in the gym will continue to pick the same 45 pound set of dumbbells and use it for their bench press whether their tempo is slow or fast. I think the point is not about free weight or machines, it's about your motor system and training for your setting accordingly. Cheers.
A lot of talking hundred miles p.h

Maybe you're not ready for it at the moment. Save the video and come back in a year or so.
Shout-out to Uncle Paul, he's truly the realist in the game.
Uncle Paul is one of the greatest teachers alive

When I was a kid Paul was my mentor. He hasn’t aged a day.

I love this
Worth every second!
