Hello, PT student here. Just a quick question… You said herniated discs CAN heal on their own. Are you referring to healing as having no pain and a returned state of mobility and strength or are you referring to the actual disc returning to its original state prior to injury? I’ve read several case studies indicating that the pain and injury just becomes asymptomatic in most cases, yet the actual disc retains its tear and is easily re-injured. Just trying to learn, obviously willing to be proved wrong. Thanks for the videos, love the content!

I think you both make good points, but McGill is meeting a back pain patient and that's generally going to be someone who's been through a lot of treatments before he reached out to him.

I think that something that is worth mentioning, at least from my experience, is that you need to make sure that you have to mobility to do them. Someone who just benches and does lateral shoulder raises as their main chest and shoulder exercises will on my opinion have a bad time doing upright rows.

These two things are entirely unrelated. Old women who don’t work out lifting under supervision is different from a veteran lifter trying to PR. To not take injury risk seriously here is farcical.
@E3RehabСағат бұрын
Your statement is farcical. 1. I referenced scientific data, which McGill does not. I could provide anecdotes of "veteran lifters" who PR regularly without increased risk of injuries compared to those who do not try or those who do not lift at all. 2. Why is his statement specific to "veteran lifters"? It's not. 3. Who said I don't take injury risk seriously? This is a strawman. Your response seems tied to emotion as opposed to logical, objective reasoning.

E3 I am definitely thankful for the content your team produces, but I feel this scenario is a bit out of context. I’m fairly certain McGill is discussing 1RM attempts in this caption and seeking PR’s, discussing potential draw-backs, which I would find to be different than working in the 80-85% range provided by the study you highlighted. I don’t think he is implying one should forgo deadlifting altogether.
@thomast68232 сағат бұрын
Agree with you here. I'm not agreeing with what mcgill says either. I think 50 year old can safely get 1 RM deadlifts provided their history and response to training our conducive. I think, however, that this study does not have a satisfactory crossover to speak to this goal. I have listened to mcgills, heavily biomedical, rationale for his thoughts and understand his concerns, but I don't think this black and white thinking pans out when the rubber hits the road. Can't deny though, McGill has been around for a long time, and is well known, so presumably a lot of his treatment must have some real world validity...

It's not out of context if you've listened to the podcast episode. 1. He's not only discussing 1RM attempts. PRs can come in many different forms, not just 1RMs. 2. The women in the study were also seeking PRs. 3. A "potential draw-back" he discusses is that you'll end up with a total hip replacement, a completely unfounded statement. 4. He goes on to provide an example of having someone perform backward walking uphill, a completely unrelated activity, as an alternative to deadlifts.

@@E3Rehab what about disc injuries? He claims disc tissues would go under strength adaptations or flexiblity adaptations but not both. If thats true keep doing deadlift prs could eventually make you unable to bend, or if you bend underload it herniates or raptures. Is that the case? or could you adapt to both? You mentioned vertebral fractures but what about discs? I honestly want to be both flexible and strong in the spine. Specially for martial arts and I love training hybrid.

@@theonetrueshibe9567 Another oversimplification. You can adapt to both. You just won't be the "best" at both. If you've trained your entire life to set the deadlift world record, you will be less adapted to the demands of yoga and won't be the most flexible person in the world. If you've trained your entire life to be the most flexible person in the world, you will be less adapted to the demands of deadlifting and probably won't set the deadlift world record. Doesn't mean you can't train both. It's no different than a hybrid athlete who does resistance training and running. Probably won't be the biggest, strongest, and most muscular. They also won't be the fastest runner. But they can be pretty good at both. Plus we know that having variety in training is better for long-term physical and mental health.

Hang around old timer lifters who were going for maxes in their 20s and they all have big injuries. It's about wear and tear over decades going for maxes. Training grannies not even at 1rms is not a representative study.

Wear and tear happens in all humans naturally, just as getting wrinkles and grey hair. If you train smart (programming, rest, train arround injuries etc) I don't think training hard and heavy at yhe gym for decades is necessarily bad for your body. Stereotypically old dudes are not maybe the smartest trainers in the gym lol

10:49 This programming is really cool. It’s similar to the direction I’m going in as a beginner /early intermediate. I do lat pull down and then barbell floor press . So similar to A1 and A2 I’ve been wondering where to fit in a rowing type movement and considering doing it like is shown here I’ve also been wondering where to fit in shoulder and rotator cuff stuff as it’s all a bit overwhelming. QUESTION Is there any reason why pullup and push-ups are paired together…. Then OHP and rows? Any specific reason for this ? Thanks Greetings from Scotland 🏴💚

Thanks for the video. Left total hip replacement Posterior, with dual mobility cups. I've been in Martial arts for 41 years and the past year been training in Brazillian Jiu- Jitsu so I'm definitely looking at exercises to strenthen everything that will help hold the new joint in place. I'm 9 1/2 weeks post op right now and will still be doing Physical therapy for another momth or so. My surgeon and physical therapist both say I am several weeks ahead of their other patients that have had the surgery due to I was still training hard up to a few days before the surgery even though I had no catelage left. Yes, it hurt like the devil but I just made modification as much as I could to use the left hip and leg as little as possible. Hard to fight as well as the others but at least i got a good work out and was in shape before the surgery. I also loaded up before on carbs, protein , (deer meat) and D3 before and after. I've got a ways to go before I can go full bore on the mat in Jiu- Jitsu but working towards it smart not crazy.
