Bad posture?

Theres still gravity, its using it to your advantage, you change your environment, by making the body more efficient , plus its a running machine, youve seen it with the spring mechanics locked. Use that method for triathletes. Using it that way protects the spine, the thing that gets more damage than anywhere, helping the CNS. Top 3 vertebrata and brain stem is where most neurological problems start, posture again.

 

How does one create an exercise where gravity isn't need to get a hard punch?

 

Well you know S****/Howard in real life so you're not exactly an impartial observer.
What you say about the interaction between the hips and the ribcage is correct, but I never claimed otherwise. My previous posts were under the assumption that the person isn't stuck in anterior/posterior pelvic tilt. Then absolutely all it takes is pulling exercises to fix posture. The way it works is you work up the kinetic chain. Talking about the chin position is absolutely meaningless and just a symptom at the end of the chain. Are you actually trying to claim that changing your head position is going to fix issues lower down on the chain? That's why I'm ridiculing your friend, that and the fact he thinks Osteopathy is a respectable/credible profession that has any real world/scientific relevance/evidence.

What makes you think I'm trying to learn how to box?

Who have I trained? Olympic medalists, professional athletes. I'm not an 80 year old national level boxing trainer who believes in Osteopathy, trying to sell my vertical treadmill to some actual athletes.

 

See this is just pseudoscientific hogwash. We want axial loading, we want load through the spine. To think that loading the spine can cause neurological problems is absolutely preposterous, rooted in chiropractor/osteopathic beliefs that have zero evidence. You deserve to be laughed at.

 

Dealtwith chin position is important for athletes because when that goes its too easy to revert back to bad hip positioning, posture is somthing some sportsmen will have to manage but will never go away, for these that are competing and managing their posture its a very basic que which they can think about to maintain their own posture, rather than over thinking ribcage hip and thoracic positioning, etc its vital not to overthink movements while boxing.

so you say youve trained olympians which to be fair could be quite an achievement but at the same time it could mean nothing, why not show your worth and prove to us who were talking to?

Yes i am friends with howard and i can vouch for everything he says, and he is not in it for the money like your trying to imply, he has helped many people free of charge, he isnt interested in making a quick quid

 

DW hasn't trained a soul! Had he been an Olympic coach he'd surely know the upmost importance of chin position. Wayne do you remember a guy on saddoboxing claiming to be an Olympian can't exactly recall the name but the point being we see someone personifying themselves for someone their not.I'm calling bullocks.atsch

 

Its the neurologist I know, who have told me as it happens, something to do with posture they tell me. But what do they know.

 

Making adjustments to rib and hip position are obviously long term projects that need to be ingrained through good movement during resistance training. Lifting weight is simply movement under load, you have somebody doing an overhead press with good form and what are you cueing.... bring your chest towards your hips, arms all the way up. You're training good posture, good scapular mechanics. You take the load away and it is easier to do, there is less diffusion in the brain. That is why strength training helps with skill/motor learning.
Fixing posture takes work but not as much as you seem to believe, you just need to get an athlete to understand how movement and posture is meant to be and work at it. I've seen posture improve immediately just from the awareness. How long do they spend in the gym compared to the rest of their life? Performing upper body pulling movements teaches them if nothing else where their shoulders are meant to be in relation to everything else. Yes a common cue when doing upper body pulling exercises is to retract the chin. That's to ensure good scpaular movement, nothing to do with how the "CNS" functions best and all that airy fairy BS S**** talks about.

I've trained Olympic medalists, people you would have heard of if you watch the games. I am not revealing who I am because I enjoy being able to speak bluntly without having to be concerned about tarnishing my professional image in anyway. I certainly feel no need to prove myself to anyone, people can believe me or not. They can ignore my free advice or they can utilize my expertise.

He probably means well for the most part, but he is clearly uneducated on some basic concepts. The only thing worse than being ignorant is being willfully ignorant, which is the case when you subscribe to pseudoscience. He talks about his vertical treadmill a lot and seems to be trying to flog it off to the athletic population when I'm certain it has no use beyond clinical/rehab populations. And at the same time he tries to claim that weights aren't needed. The chin/chi/alignment BS he talks about is also beyond stupid. He really isn't too bright.

PS- Anterior pelvic tilt is not necessarily a bad thing all the time, if hip control is good it confers some athletic advantages in running activities due to the pre-stretch of the hamstrings.

 

A neurologist could tell you anything, you wouldn't understand the context or the relevance of what they are telling you. Do you think anyone is impressed that you've talked to a neurologist? In any field you have good and bad practitioners. You like to go on about who you have worked with.. I don't care, I guarantee I've worked/talked with higher regarded people in their fields than you. I want to discuss the concepts with YOU. You have never been able to move beyond vague mumblings alluding that you know something. You have never demonstrated any knowledge on any subject. It's what do you know, and evidently not much.

 

S**** why don't you add vibrations to your bike wouldn't the vibrations help the muscle talk to the bone?

 

It already does
.

 

Let's bet honest, S****'s never actually helped anyone on this forum. All I ever see is someone asks a question and s**** posts a load of mumbo jumbo or some video.

I remember last year a guy asked about using bands in his training. S**** appeared and posted a video of some guy standing in a ring with bands attached to his head, hands and ankles with no explanation. When questioned he just went on about oral cavity or whatever but said nothing of actual value. This has gone on for years.

Then there's his machine that apparently takes seconds off sprinter run times and minutes off elite level triathletes times. I've asked about this machine multiple times over the years he's been going on about it, all I ever get is it'll be everywhere soon, it's been reviewed, been used by top level sports teams blah blah.

Basically, it sounds all new and fancy, but take what this guy says with a pinch of salt.

 

What's all this about the oral cavity sounds perverted?

Probably why I get people taking a round trip of 6,000 miles at great expense, to find out. They are the people that interest me, and stay a week, without charge. Simply they want to learn, same as me. . My cripple beat the National champion in a sprint hill climb last night, beating the course record, while carrying an injury silly cow.
