Jasmine NewsomeHOST
But yeah, I mean, I think most people need like stronger bodies rather than flexible ones.
Jasmine NewsomeHOST
And the chances are that if we get stronger, we'll create range of motion anyway.
Jasmine NewsomeHOST
And once the muscles are, you know, once muscles and bodies are working as they should in inverted commas, the unnecessary tension that might be holding everything together, as it were, can drop away anyway.
Jasmine NewsomeHOST
So I just kind of think like, that's kind of always been on my radar.
Jasmine NewsomeHOST
I love glide that's great such an interesting insight flow I love
FloHOST
yeah because you know Yes, we want to strengthen in the sense we want tissues, not just muscles, tissues to be resilient and powerful, right? Yeah.
FloHOST
We also want them to move through their range of motion.
FloHOST
Yeah.
Nora St. JohnHOST
Yeah.
Nora St. JohnHOST
So the point here too, for those who don't know knee replacements is when they first put them in a lot of times, what the physical therapist is trying to do is get range of motion back.
Brian RicheyHOST
Yep.
Nora St. JohnHOST
Right.
Nora St. JohnHOST
It should be.
Brian RicheyHOST
Yeah.
Brian RicheyHOST
But that person had the hardest time trying to get that range of motion back in that knee because it just sat there and it ankylosed and it just, it scarred up to the point that they were talking about whether or not they need to go back in and actually surgically cut the scar open and do it that way.
Brian RicheyHOST
The other way is, and I have another physical therapy friend who has done this before they anesthetize the person and you go in and you just stretch them under anesthesia

Milo WolfGUEST
We have around 50 studies, so 5-0, or just over 550 studies actually, on the stretch in some form now.
Milo WolfGUEST
That could be doing partials in the stretch versus a full range of motion.
Milo WolfGUEST
That could be different exercises, like for example a seated leg curl versus a lying leg curl, where the seated leg curl has more pre-stretching on the hamstrings.
Milo WolfGUEST
It could be isometrics at different muscle lengths.
Milo WolfGUEST
It could be comparing exercises that have the same range of motion, but where one has more resistance in the stretch.
Milo WolfGUEST
For example, a study got published a few weeks ago comparing the leg extension to a squat with the same range of motion on quad hypertrophy.
Milo WolfGUEST
All in all, across all those studies, we have an excess of 50 studies, which is a huge amount of data.
Milo WolfGUEST
And in fact, from my perspective, the stretch is now the single topic with the most research on it when it comes to hypertrophy.
Judd LienhardHOST
So, you know, things like going down slowly, holding certain joint angles, and then letting those ranges of motion open up, increasing the strength through good movement so that our brains feel safe enough to open up those ranges of motion to us rather than just try to get more mobility through stretching.
Judd LienhardHOST
In, instead, let's focus on good movement patterns and trying to f- um, focus on being able to move through larger ranges of motion with a load before we worry about increasing load or range of motion.
Judd LienhardHOST
So that's four.
Judd LienhardHOST
So moving through this, you know, in a hurry.
AlexHOST
Sometimes it might, if it's bad enough, I might even just do dumbbell work, like on my, on the opposite arm
ChelseaHOST
armUm, or try to find workouts that allow me to avoid the use of that arm, or what I should say is avoid a range of motion or a movement pattern that leads to pain.
ChelseaHOST
Um, 'cause usually I can press without issue.
ChelseaHOST
It's mostly pulling that becomes a problem.
11 MINS LATER
Pat BarberHOST
They're an amazing movement.
ChelseaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Pat BarberHOST
It's like, it's a pistol but a bigger range of motion.
Pat BarberHOST
Come on.
Ryan CollinsGUEST
Ideally, each phase is going to kind of tie into the protocol a bit.
Ryan CollinsGUEST
So when you look at the first phase of a protocol where you're healing, we want to make sure we have full range of motion, right? If you're not, if you're going to try and get strong and you don't have your full range to move through, well, then you're going to eventually, if you do get it, have holes in your foundation, right? Where it's kind of what I like to kind of reference it where you don't have strength at a certain position.
Ryan CollinsGUEST
Well, if you get to that position, are you able to stabilize it? Are you able to control it? Or are we just opening ourselves up for a potential injury down the road? And then moving forward, all right, so we want to, let's talk about, we want to move towards like the pre-throwing.
Chase MoralesHOST
So if you have an athlete that's
Sean PastuchGUEST
So it will realign itself improperly leading to the degeneration we're talking about.
Sean PastuchGUEST
That degeneration requires full range of motion for a long period of time, six seconds per rep, three up, three down.
Sean PastuchGUEST
about as heavy as you can go, eight out of 10 RPE for a set.
Sean PastuchGUEST
People don't want to do that because it hurts.
Sean PastuchGUEST
Unloaded some days, right? But because I want to keep hydrating those tissues because of how much strain we put on it yesterday.
Jay FerruggiaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Sean PastuchGUEST
Most people aren't lifting multiple times their body weight multiple times a week through full range of motion.
Jay FerruggiaHOST
Right.
Philip PapeHOST
That's key for everything, right? Yeah
Andy BakerGUEST
... don't, don't lean back and get a bunch of cheat reps and start, you know, sacrificing form and range of motion.
Andy BakerGUEST
But going until you, until you can't curl another rep is not the same thing as laying your squats down on the safety pins.
Philip PapeHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Philip PapeHOST
Got it.
Andy BakerGUEST
But, um-
Philip PapeHOST
I mean, you're gonna hit the, you're gonna hit the long li- long part of the range with full range of motion anyways, so.
Andy BakerGUEST
That's what I've always said.
Judd LienhardHOST
So what does this mean with our training? It means that men tend to do a little bit better with wider grips on both their pushing and their pulling, um, and with more uni- uh, one plane movements.
Judd LienhardHOST
So, and women with a shorter range of motion.
Judd LienhardHOST
Women tend to do a little bit better with a slightly narrower grip where they're coming more on that scapular plane with a larger range of motion.
Judd LienhardHOST
First of all, and this g- this is gonna apply for all of the anatomical differences for women, both women's hormones and their physiology and their anatomy, all th- or all those three things together mean that women tend to have a better range of motion than men naturally.
Judd LienhardHOST
So that's good and bad.
Judd LienhardHOST
So, you know, the good part is they don't get injured as frequently.
Judd LienhardHOST
They can go through a larger m- range of motion without having to worry, worry about being injured.
Judd LienhardHOST
But also a woman needs to, generally speaking, needs to achieve a larger range of motion, um, before she starts to really feel the stretch in the muscle and maybe before she gets some of the benefits of that, that stretch, um, from resistance training.
Casey ShulerHOST
Okay, next.
Casey ShulerHOST
not going through a full range of motion.
Casey ShulerHOST
This one is a little bit nitpicky, but if we think about a bicep curl, for example, and we're not extending our arms, we're not fully contracting, then we're, we shorten those muscles instead of lengthening them.
Casey ShulerHOST
And this is a really, I probably still am a little too tense.
