From fourteen we are what we are not alot will change, its not until youre just over eitgteen that the Body will naturally get stronger and be ready for an explosive workload within reason. People who try it the young, if they get a muscle tair have a problem the rest of there lives They cant repair as before noropshysicaly. Tares apply througthout all age groups when that happens theres a problem always. When muscle is used to generate power it contracts, so any sports person has a lot of muscle contraction going on in there lives. With very little expansion taking place, now if you want to get more contraction you need a muscle to expand the bigger the expansion the greater the cotraction. Its like throwing a brick six floors up onto concrete it will shatter, do the same with a rubber ball it wont why Flexability, designed to give. Now rubber works simular in adaptability to muscle the more it is stretched the weaker it becomes. Now theres a clue TBC .

Ya Scrap...I am going through a bit of this now with a trainer who is helping me set up workouts. He has concerns regarding my want/need to build up muscle. Right now I am looking to try a new routine as i've been working one for several months and feel I got as much benefit out of it as I can and it is time to work other muscle groups.

He tells me i'm am probably as strong as I can and should be at this age, and seeing my cardio is so good, and my condition and strength excellent, I should focus more on just technique and sparring...and to maintain what I got physically. not to push it too hard, so as not to cause damage.

I'm struggling with the concept, but am starting to believe it.

That defently made a lot of sense, no one has ever put the need for stretching and improving flexibility so well. Recently I have been having hamstring problems, and realise I have ignored the stretching/flexbility training which my body desires. I guess I'm still stuck in the "push yourself to the limits" phase, where instead I should be doing the most benefitial thing for my body. Which at the moment could mean lengthening my muscles rather than building upon them. Back to research and devise myself a flexibility routine for the mornings. The human body is an amazing organism, so complex yet on the scale of the universe rather simple and flawed.

Water water everywhere, youve heard the saying, the Body comprises of 60% of it, its the best transporter of energy around the body there is. With a high Metobalism and hard work the body needs 5 litres of liqiud a day to work at its optimun. A little tip put a teaspoon level of salt and 2 of brown sugar in each litre it will help Hydration. Make a habit of it,aAS a point of interest pure water has no calories and muscle finds it very hard to work without its help and its propertys and looses perception tires qiuckly and is given stress. It remembers bad practice and a Nueron has a wonderful memory the little Fucker.

Simply, condition is about reaching maximum fitness without injury. What it takes is time, its not a rush job its about evolving with correct form and posture and understanding througth practice and correct technique the easy way YOUR body to stimolated exercise. Remember an injuered Body cant get fit and the memory lasts forever. So your muscle response is never the same. If you buy a new car for £ 30,000 you look after it the word Im looking for is care you maintain it you feed it oil and petrol you try and make sure it never overheats, checks water regularly any body mess with your car theres trouble. Do we give that care to the most important thing you will ever have yourself, do we Fuck. TBC

Now the interesting bit, years ago 69 to be exact I started playing with rubber a first I think or so people tell me, and Ive never been slow to ask people who knew more than me, there were plenty questions. Im not telling you how but here are a few clues. Your bodys Heart works 35% better Horizontal on your back, also with the tests weve done in the laboratry using certain techniques the body pruduces 30% less latic acid remember lactic shuttle, Fuel. Okay because youre flat gravity isnt such an issue with your venus returns your Heart isnt pumping up less stress plus theres very little impact on joints. Now you can get as much stress and impact three or four days a week as you ever want. But wouldnt it be nice with the rest of your time if you were work and help repair the damage you created and help the body work and adapt to working with less fuel injury free that sounds a good idea, its all done with rubber ,balls and all TBC

[Scrap]

Ive had a bollocking, anyway something else Fit Balls. The things you can do with these things are endless with a bit of imagenation anything as regards good Technique are endless theres Hundreds of ways to power stretch your way to technique and correct form. They are probably the best thing in a gym at this time. Honest Ive come up with Hundreds of ways to icorperate good practice using these things, Ive nothing better to do with my time . Yhese and 5 feet of rubber are wonderfull in a bit Ill put a few up if the wife will let me. Better Better best never let it rest untill your Betters Better and your Best is Best.

Awesome thread thanks Scrap!

Thanks for mentioning it in the Running thread too Bomp - i haven't kept up with checking the forum as carefully as I used to lately and I might have stupidly missed it!

Damn this rep spreading thing! I'd like to rep you Scrap and wanted to rep Salty before too have to spread it!

I sit on a fitball more often than a chair now. At home where I have more space than at uni I put my feet on my wobble board so I can't even brace against the floor to slouch.

I want to put a plank or something over a water bottle or can under my uni desk for the same reason but haven't gotten organized yet (as per usual).

I had NO idea how much I slouched to the right until I couldn't (do it as much) anymore.

I'm not really creative with my fitballs though - i'll have to sit down one day and see what I can come up with and post it and see whether or not it's any good.

In the meantime I'm loving this thread Scrap and I'll be re-reading it a few times i think!

yep you're right i should have reread Scraps posts before thinking there was more -

I'm thinking horizontal if lying down reduces your blood plasma volume also then the osmotic potential of your blood might be greater? So even without drinking more water you are more hydrated. Water get's into your muscle cells more easily - you sweat less and loose less K through your sweat. Makes lactate metabolism more efficient that way too perhaps.

[Sharla]

I also found something that said that lactate supply required by the brain (also fed by glucose but lactate is important during exercise) is reduced with time and intensity. I'm guessing that begins to explain what Scrap said about hydration, exercise fatigue and perception.

It also explains why if I want to distract myself during a long run I calculate what fraction I have left to run or have run already and recalculating that is so difficult in my semi-retarded state it keeps my mind fully occupied.

I always thought it was just glucose and oxygen but i guess it's more than that.
