    Can't get away from BFR sometimes ;)

    He is a very well known figure in the Sports Medicine/Strength and Conditioning world. I agree with how he thinks on a lot of his stuff. His book is a view/philosophy changer for sure.

    Can't get away from BFR sometimes ;)

    So as some of you may know I am a young aspiring medical professional. Here I am studying on my own and I am reading a book about movement by a physical therapist named Gray Cook. The book is actually called Movement and is about how he approaches evaluating and treating injuries based off of...

    Mystery solved

    That pavement looks saweeet! Don't be too hard on yourself, just gotta get that knee bent ;) The more I focus on getting my leg extended behind me the better I am at getting the opposite leg under my COM it seems.

    Good write-up. I really enjoyed reading it while sipping on my coffee and eating my breakfast BG.

    Barefoot NBA Players Coming Next Season?

    BG, I think we technically agree with each other. I support the notion that somebody like Jordan is able to execute motor skills like the one you mention above with little to no cognitive effort. I'm not arguing it being better or not for injuries. I argue that a learned or advanced skill like...

    Barefoot NBA Players Coming Next Season?

    You are correct that they do not think about how they are landing and moving but this what is targeted and changed during a lot of rehabilitation programs and ACL Prevention programs. With many drills and practice you can turn the conscious into the uunconscious. Separates the novices from the...

    Loch Ness, Sasquatch, Aliens and the Barefoot Kilt wearing runner!

    I went with the argument that is great for freedom of movement without the shorty-short look going on and blinding children...except I still wear my shorties from time to time.

    Marathon Dilemma?

    No problems left from the injury except a side effect from not running for almost a month. I would say in that injured time span I lost a lot of my functional range of motion that I had pre-injury that I gained during my initial transition stage. Right now my calves feel like they are...

    Loch Ness, Sasquatch, Aliens and the Barefoot Kilt wearing runner!

    Funny post, ties in well with my other post in my thread because as I was leaving the half marathon last Sunday I overheard many people talking to each other as we made our way through the throng of people. There were many "I saw a dude running barefoot!" or "Yeah I even saw somebody in a kilt...

    Marathon Dilemma?

    So the full marathon was canceled on the Friday before because of a forecasted temperature of 96 degrees and high humidity. We were allowed to run the half marathon on Sunday instead and were given a 20 credit towards next year's race. In hindsight, I probably would not have been able to finish...
