I’m currently coming back from a substantial hip injury. I’d been taking it easy for a few months doing the pt and all that. Today I decided I was gonna give it a real hoist and heave. I had never deadlifted above 150 before injuring myself but had worked up to rdl with 135 for reps. I just kept doing singles for behind the back deadlift and got to 245 which I got on video. I’m so pumped

Brian Shaw uses a power plate Was working in a hospital gym for doctors and nurses And the power plate came out, all the research was done on rehab and mobility for older people Don't believe in the research that it helps with muscle development But I do believe it helps with mobility, as it has virtually 0 impact on the joints and tendons Have small one in my home gym, really helps with my posture as not as mobile as I used to be And I used it for thorough warm up, special considering the injuries I've got I love the machine

[@Martins3945-]

The stretch you are referring to is the GTO reflex, basically when you're stretching or having a high contraction on the muscles, after a while the contractions will be too great for the muscle forcing the receptors to signal the brain to override and relax the muscles. It's a safety thing for a high contraction but for stretching once you hit that threshold it will allow you to get a little more active ROM since the muscle relaxed.

[@Scrofl]

Brian Shaw also uses the shake thing to stretch. It really helps with stretching a lot! The other stuff it claims are bullshit on the other side.

[@baggervance13]

STICKY RICKY a lot of truth to the slow reps being incorporated for max tension / loading CNS. The multiple pauses mid rep adds a lot

[@jeetkunedoseries521]

And PNF stretching is beneficial for after training or anytime when your muscles are thoroughly warmed up which would also include immediately after static stretching which it also not be done until your muscles are warm so also good after training

[@dansmith4129]

Yeah I got to like 315 on bench and I just stopped because I boxed for years and I don't want to have tight shoulders. I mostly used strength in my legs to leverage the weight off my chest. Need to keep the elasticity for elastic recoil and use the stretch shorten cycle to develop a harder punch. Ended up doing 225 for 27 reps though.

Vic Tanny the original gym mogul pioneered these vibration machines. It works on the same principle as the Wim Hoff method of cold exposure to cause shivering, which releases succinate in fat cells which increases mitochondrial biogenesis to cause more fat burning.

I think there’s some truth to the power plate. I think it’s good for improving flexibility, specifically for someone who is super tight, if you already keep up pretty good with your flexibility and mobility work it’s a piece of junk to you, but for many of us tight lifters I think it’s great, I’ve certainly felt a difference. How much of a difference? Maybe a small percentage, but I think doing it regularly will create improvement over time. My mentality is, can’t hurt to do it for a couple of minutes preworkout.
