Any posture fix requires this, try it yourself massage a weak muscle head of your quads or glutes and then try to consciously engage it afterwards while doing squats. It will be much much easier to do so. What study would want to argue haha, how do you even measure this? And why is it always mediocre athletes throwing around the study argument? Its insecurity. Most studies are also a bunch of quickly assembled crap from people getting the requirements for their doctor title.
When I do rugby tournaments my hamstrings are in ruins and unbelievably tight. I get someone to walk on my hammies whilst I lay facedown and it’s invaluable. The difference I feel after is amazing. Whether they’re better or just feel better I’d do it regardless. Feel better = compete better
Another thing to note is that the academic aspect of any science is largely experimental and should never be taken as absolute. As humans we have yhis tendency to just go with whatever the academia says, without understanding that it can very well change in the future. Scientists get their findings challenged or changed often enough that we should know not to consider it all as beind absolute just because a scientist came to a particular conclusion.
Semantics. The opposite of tight is loose. Is it really perception if i have a measurable increase in ROM? Perception of pain might not have real world measurements but we can measure joint angles in ROM etc It's a silly argument
Like nearly all soft tissue work (either foam rolling/massage/manual therapy/dry needling etc) there's a central neurologic inhibiting effect on pain, therefore increasing ROM. For the outcome, it doesn't matter. For the perception of the athlete there's an important difference stressing there's not necessarily a physical cause for the tightness but rather a neurological mechanism
@@sikastrengththe video is titled why you should foam roll. We know that foam rolling is no more effective than a general warmup including walking and submaximal lifting. If an an athlete feels they benefit from it, great. But imo the video title and some of the benefits stated are bit of a stretch!
quads hanging over his knees like elephant balls
Jim wendler needs credit for this saying 😂😂
How the fuck is he an 89, look at those quads. Thats a 105 bare min
Klokov doing some wrestling warmups 😤
Flexible big guy!
The "experts" that say there are no benefits to soft tissue work probably have never actually trained hard in their lives
Started a squat program and already got back and calf tightness, tryna build back the pain resistance to the foam roller is awful.
It's a tough time 😢

Lacrosse ball for the hips is fantastic or any tightness I find
So painful though 😫
Is there really no benefits if the rom is improved on soft tissue work?

Without a doubt

Absolutely 💯
Chinese athlete with a baseball 😂 unique!
It doesn’t loosen muscles. Rather, reduces perception of tightness. The ‘benefits’ are neuropsychological.
