hi, it’s literally impossible to isolate fascia

mostly because the tissue we define as fascia is intergrated with the muscles around it.

side story its also impossible to “isolate” muscles, that’s not how nerve connections work but this is another story!

if it was possible to break up fascial restrictions or cause changes in fascia in short periods of time, your tissue would literally explode and disintegrate

I’m talking about foam rolling or lacrosse balling or trigger point release or gua sha or graston

what does change fascia and tissue restrictions is stress over time.

Your tendons, ligaments, muscles… they need graded stress that does not overstress the tissue, and time off for it to repair and recover.

let’s talk about it in the comments if you wanna beef but only if you promise to be nice and or be open minded 🫡

hahahah okay so when this happened in therapy I was fu**ed up for a minute.

but I guess it’s a journey, ya?

lol ooof this came up and I think I stared into the void for a while

If you’re seeing this and it made you laugh try reel pulling for my B test

it’s been a minute, so here’s some proof of life

here’s a challenge or something at Solace: heavy sumo triple + list ratio to body weight.

I’ve been feeling real s**t (poor sleep, lots of sinus things) + having a hard time consistently training, so most of it has been heavy triples -‘yeah.

this is also the heaviest I’ve *ever* been in my life so that’s *great* 😂

395lb/180kg @ 182lb/83kg (2.17 BWR)

I promise that your lifts and programming in the gym doesn’t have to look just like your sport.

Your strength and conditioning is designed to help prepare you to show up for your sport.

Your sport can just be your sport.

athletes *usually* find me because they have been injured for a while.

They’ve tried this program, and that program, and gone to PT and “tried everything,” but “everything” was table and band exercises that don’t produce enough change.

These programs are impersonal, and end up costing athletes more in the long run:

Time off of training, constantly getting reinjured because of poor reintroduction to sport, loss of playing time/scholarships/money.

Programs should reflect your sport and your goals and they are tools to achieve what you want to do.

Have you been stuck because of injuries? Do you know why, and can I challenge that for you?

okay so the women’s World Cup is in 338 days
and men keep posting about the USWNT’s loss to a u-15 boys academy team as if that means that women are incapable bc obvi incel brainrot

Howeverrrrrrr I’d gladly pay money to watch these dudes try to play an NWSL let alone the WSL or Liga F.

I wonder if there would # ever be an average joes vs the USWNT… Sydney Leroux thoughts?
