Gym Movements Biofeedback, Z-Health Joint Mobility, Where is the hard data?

Walter Miller, Strength Athlete, Middleweight wrestling champion circa 1919

I am back!  Did you miss me?

Thanks for your patience with my response to comments last week. Jodie and I had a blast in Baja Mexico at a small town called La Ventana. We went down with some friends to hang out, see that orange thing in the sky that they call the sun and kiteboard.

We had a blast and Jodie did great kiteboarding too! I got out and rode 4 days (every day that there was wind) and even did a 7 mile downwinder back to where we were staying. More details to come soon.

Gym Movements, Z-Health, Hard Numbers Please!

One of the requests that I have received is one asking for hard numbers. Since I am a researcher, I like numbers. Heck, I did a whole MS in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics, so I better like numbers! ha! To be honest, they were never my strong suit, but after years of practice I got pretty good at it. When I started I did not think any math beyond Calc 4 even existed, wow, I was wrong.

I need to thank Kevin who is a strength coach on the East Coast for taking the time to do this. While this is far from a peer reviewed, placebo controlled study, it does show us some important things.

Take it away Kevin!

I purchased Gym Movements and I am really looking forward to the video. This past weekend I have been testing myself and 2 of my high school clients with both Z Health and some of the material I saw from the Gym Movements clips. this past weekend I had a girl I train do the following

Step 1 Toe touch test

Step 2. Vertical Jump Test (18 inches on a jump mat)

Step 3 do a “bad squat on the toes for 10 reps

Step 4 Jump again (16.4 inches)

Step 5. do some Z Health drills (ankle and hip mobility)

Step 6 Retest vertical and hit 18.2

Step 6. Static stretch (hit 16 inches)

Step 7 Z Health drills (18.5)

She looked at me like I was crazy and asked what I was doing? I filled her in and she was very interested in what I had to say

With me this weekend I have been doing static stretch tests, Active Isolates tests and Z Health test and EVERY TIME. I get more range of motion with the Z Health Drills I learned from Sara’s DVD.

I will let you know what I think about the Gym Movements DVD, but I think a combination of the Gym Movements DVD and getting the Z R-Phase is what I need

I am amazed how much your body “clears up” by just doing the ankle Mobs.

Thanks

Kevin

What Did We Learn

Now we have some hard numbers to show that what you do training wise and mobility wise has an IMMEDIATE effect upon your body.

Good training and mobility results is massive changes, very fast! I first learned this at the R-Phase cert from Dr. Cobb. When I do Z-Health sessions, the whole premise is that you have them walk (gait) and then try a Z-Health drill, then have them walk again. If their gait (walking movement) is better, that is a good drill. If not, then try another drill.

Exercise will have the same effect.

Good exercise= better movement and performance

Super Bowl Quarterback Drew Brees TRX Game Day Challenge

I am up early and off to Grip n Rip 2.0 for a bit and then I am running back home as Jodie and I are off to Baja Mexico with some friends to get in some relaxation and kiteboarding!  Whoo ha!  I have not been out kiteboarding once since this past Nov and since is snowy just about everywhere around the country, it is a perfect time to go to a warmer climate and get in some Vitamin D.  I’ve been dreaming about going there for over 4 years and figured it was just time to pull the trigger and go.  You only live once and Jodie and I are very excited to get away together.

Give me a hell ya!!

I may be late with comments as internet down there is spotty at best and my cell won’ t work where we  are going, so bear with me while I am gone.

If the wind is not up, I will be easy to find.  Just look for the tall white guy covered in sun block, reading this uber geeky book for fun.

A huge thanks to Laree at Dave Draper online, where you can pick the book up for about 35 clams.  Great deal.

TRX Game Day Challenge

I know his team beat my beloved Vikings, so I have to give him some credit and I will be rooting for the Saints on the big game day tomorrow!

Maybe the key is the TRX? Hmmmmm,

Overview

Football season is here and whether or not you play the game, it certainly won’t hurt to train like a professional athlete! Todd Durkin brings in All-Pro Quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees, to demonstrate the August, TRX Game Day Challenge.

The challenge consists of:

* 30 Sprinter Starts on each leg
* 20 Power Pulls with each arm

Yikes!  Go try it and let me know what you think!

Look for a super feature coming up this week on the TRX suspension trainer featuring the professor.  Rumor has it he has been seen in his stylish lab coat doing some TRX exericses again.

How Is This Different Than Any Other Fitness Program Design?

Gym Movements gives you the ability to simply and easily measure your own biofeedback, allowing you to custom-design your workouts each and every time you go to the gym. The result is a new personal record virtually every time you train.   Does your current training program do that?

Why Are Personal Records Important?

You are either going forward or backwards. If your body is constantly doing more, lifting more, doing it in less time, your body has no choice but to add muscle and strength!

I get the question a lot about what it is like to train at the Extreme Human Performance center, so I thought that since I am the research guy, I would do an experiment.

I invited Dave Sandel over since he also trains here in the Twin Cities Minnesota area.  He came over last week and we did some Z-Health on him, got down to business training and he pulled a deadlift PR (personal record) and even took out the 400 lb tire.   We throw in some Kettlebell work just for good measure too.

What Happened?

Before I get to that, here is a short tour of the private facility.

What the heck, that is your garage man!

Yep!  Truth be told I used to train at a big club in the Twin Cities here part time and I could not take it.   You don’t need a room full of chrome to get stronger, move better, and kick a$$.    You don’t need a $4,000 pulley a “wazi strength thing” and stay the hell off the treadmill!

You need basic, top of the line, equipment.   Basics are best, yet nobody wants to practice them.  Lift heavy stuff, set it down, make sure you don’t degrade your movement (if you leave the gym dragging your right leg, did you really get any better?)    Spend your money on the basics and then spend a ton of money on education!  Figure out better (not always newer) techniques.   The body is very complex, why do you think a weekend certification is going to cover it?  Pleeeeeze.  Focus on the nervous system,  since is the chief in charge and runs the show.

How I Ended Up in My Garage

So after the gym I was at filed bankruptcy on me (I did not even know, I found out by going there one night and found a note on the door!).  I checked into a few other places and could not stomach it.   I could not take all the chrome, had to keep your shoes on all the time (love barefoot training), can’t drop a heavy weight and some places you can’t even deadlift!  What?  The most basic function and you can’t even perform it there?  Time for plan B and vowed to set up a place that I could control, right outside my door, done by my rules to get athletes  RESULTS.   I LOVE it and would not trade it for any chrome gym around, no matter the amount of money.  Oh yeah, I control the stereo too—hehehe.  If you bring your Jonas Brothers CD you will NOT be let it.

What Happened to Dave?

I will let Dave tell you first hand.  Head on over to his blog below.  Keep in mind that if you are easily offended, read with caution.   It is all Dave and I did not even see it until he posted it online; so the account is not altered in any way.
