Welcome back to the inform fitness podcast rewind. It's our listen back to classic interviews with some of the best high intensity gurus, master trainers, researchers and doctors in the business. This is part three with Doug Brignole, on his website, Doug aptly describes himself as a bodybuilder on the outside, and a science nerd on the inside. In this episode, we discuss balance and core training intensity and something called reciprocal intervention. Enjoy. You know, we started this whole talk, you know, talking about myths and belief systems. And here, here's another topic where that's fraught with a lot of different belief systems. So I think you'd agree that many physical therapists and trainers misuse the word balance when they refer to doing specific type of exercises that improve balance, aren't they really referring to improving proprioception rather than balance? And isn't proprioception and balance two different things?Doug Brignole 1:53 Yes, absolutely balances equilibrium. Balance has an inner ear. Also, the bottoms of your feet, and your eyes are the sensors that basically inform you, whether you're standing upright, or leaning to the right are about to fall, whether the ground you're standing on is flat or not the that is actually balanced. And as people get older, their senses start to deteriorate their eyes, they're there, they have neuropathy, so they don't feel their feet as much, right. So when someone says, you know, I lose my balance, well, they could have inner ear problems, he could have visual problems, they could have, you know, neuropathy problems, and those things are contributing to them. Not understanding not being informed as to whether or not they're upright or not, but if you put that person on a BOSU ball, which is basically proprioceptive training, it's not helping their sensors, they need to see a specialist and ear, nose and throat specialist, an eye doctor, you know, someone that's going to address that neuropathy, in order to really fix their equilibrium issue. But what bothers me about the fitness industry is that it has sold proprioception as balance, because balance seems to have more value as a buzzword than proprioception. And so people don't want to argue with fixing their balance, they might argue with improving their proprioception, which is basically a skill, right is coordination at a particular skill. They might say, well, that's fine, but you know, if it's going to compromise, and it always does, by the way, if it's going to compromise, the resistance exercise portion of that, when I'm combining it, then I'd rather not trade it off.Adam 3:34 So so doing unstable exercises, you know, doing let's say a set of squats on on a on a BOSU ball or wobble board or something like that. You don't feel that that improves balance, for someDoug Brignole 3:46 No, what it what it improves, it improves your ability to coordinate yourself on that Bosu ball. Right? You will eventually get very good at that once you get ...

Welcome to the inform fitness podcast rewind. Once again, it's our listen back to classic interviews with high intensity gurus and master trainers, doctors and researchers. This is part two of three with veteran competitive bodybuilder, biomechanics expert and author Doug Brignole. Doug and I are going to talk about static versus dynamic exercise. Along with the proper speeds of movement and sports training. You start the discussion of the old saying less is more. I read something that you wrote that reminded me of something that we also always talk about, you know, we say there's a big difference between what we say Ken Hutchins came up with this, you know, are you familiar with Ken Hutchins, his work is super slow technique, right? All right. So So Ken Hutchins came up with what I consider one of the seminal articles and exercise history, which is the exercise versus recreation. And I know you agree with this, because I, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna quote something you wrote, actually, if you don't mind, it is important to understand the difference between the goal of muscular development bodybuilding in general fitness, and the goals, which also involve the use of weights but are not intended for the purpose of muscular development of general fitness, for example, powerlifting and Olympic lifting are sports that incorporate the use of weights but are fundamentally different from the goals of getting stronger. The goal of a power lifter is to lift maximum amount of weight in specific lifts. The goal of the bodybuilder or the person that's generally trying to get into good shape and get really strong is to develop the physique to gain a reasonable amount of useful strength to improve one's health and remain injury free. So you're right there. So it's kind of reminds me of all the things that the brands CrossFit is doing and trying to make those sport and recreational activities into some kind of fitness program.Doug Brignole 2:41 Well, and then what I tell people is, it is very naive to assume that the heavier weight you're moving, the more you're loading a muscle,Adam 2:49 rightDoug Brignole 2:50 you can actually load a muscle more with less weight based on the kind of physics you're using. So if you're using a longer lever, you're Magnum, magnifying the weight that you're using much more, if you have better align, you're magnifying the weight much more,Adam 3:05 which means you don't have to use as much weight if you're if you're taking those things into account. Doug Brignole 3:08 And, in fact, in fact, let's go one step further, I'll go so far to say that if you are able to use a lot of weight, it means that you're using an efficient mechanics, it means basically, you're lifting something up with a crowbar. Right? The heavier the weight feels, the more efficient the mechanics is, if you can load your site deltoid maximally with 30 or 40 pounds, and ...

On his website, Doug describes himself as a bodybuilder on the outside, and a science nerd on the inside. His competitive career spans over 40 years and he has won numerous bodybuilding titles. His most recent book, the physics of fitness, is endorsed by nine PhD professors, and is a must read if you're going to dig deep into the science and physics of strength training. So here in part one, Doug and I are going to talk about compound movements versus isolation movements. Always a controversial subject. We don't always agree on everything. But it's a great discussion. Enjoy. So glad to have you with us.Doug Brignole 2:02 Thank you. It's great to be here.Adam 2:03 It's a real honor to talk to somebody with your experience and expertise in this field. So Doug is a bodybuilder right Doug?Doug Brignole 2:14 Yes, I say that, although that's sort of like a small piece of what I do. Because a lot of bodybuilders that don't do what I do.Adam 2:21 So what makes doug so unique is that doug is an intellectual bodybuilder, I guess you can call it and he hasn't really fallen prey to all the cultural and mythological aspects of bodybuilding that have existed for, I don't know, 50 years, 60 years, seventy years and beyondDoug Brignole 2:40 100 years, actually. Yeah,Adam 2:42 there you go. What I like about your doug is as a bodybuilder, you debunk a lot of the myths that people have had about bodybuilding. Like, for example, we're gonna get into a lot of things about this. But like, for example, you say, which is unusual for the bodybuilding community, you say that varying exercises for the same body part is really not essential for muscle growth. So many popular exercises in bodybuilding are just downright dangerous, and at the very least inefficient. He talks about why it's impossible that to isolate your lower abs, for example, and the myths go on and on that you talk about, that we've been talking about, too. So it's nice, but but no one listens to me really sometimes because, you know, I'm not big and muscular and whatDoug Brignole 3:26 you're not a titleholder ends up getting more attention than a PhD.Adam 3:29 This is why I like talking to guys like you because you are not following the culture and still you've been a competitive and very successful bodybuilder. So can you just give us a little brief synopsis of your bodybuilding history and some of your accomplishments not just the bodybuilding, but also, as simply as possible? Talk about your career as well. Doug Brignole 3:51 All right, well, I...

Welcome to the Inform fitness podcast rewind. It's our listen back to classic interviews with high intensity gurus, master trainers, scientists and authors. This is part four of our interview with author, personal trainer and biomechanics expert, Bill De Simone. Conversations with Bill are always enjoyable, always enlightening, because of his experience, being in the business for over 40 years, he really knows his stuff. There's absolutely no one better than discuss the past and present trends and training. But first, a quick chat about posture, mobility and feel in exercise.Bill DeSimone 1:35 Some people work at a desk, their postures fine. Maybe they just intuitively stretch during the day. Like maybe maybe the postural issue. No, I don't think we're postural issues. If you get them on the person's young, you might be able to correct them. You guys got a person, you know, 60 70, it may have settled into the actual joints, the joints actually may have changed shape.Adam 1:54 Yeah, we got people with kyphosis. So all the time, we were like, We're not gonna, we're not gonna. I mean, you know, you have these women that I find that a lot with tall women, right? They grow up. So taller than everyone else. And there is and they're shy. So they end up being kyphotic. Because they're shy to stand up to it. You can, I've never been able to, I mean, you can prevent further degeneration,Bill DeSimone 2:16 20 or 25. If you catch that, maybe you can train, they can train out of it. But if you get it when it's already locked in, that's all you can do is not do more damage. The way we train people takes a half hour twice a week, maybe that leaves plenty of time for this person to do mobility work or flexibility work. If they have a specific activity that they think they need the work in. If you're training for strength once or twice a week, that leaves a lot of time that you can do some of these mobility things if the person needs. Yeah, I think feel is very overrated. In our line of work. The guy can get you to feel something, but it's not a you can do a concentration curl, a tricep kickback, or, you know, Donkey Kicks with a cuff. And you'll feel something because you're not because you're making the muscle about to cramp, but that's not necessarily a positive. As far as activating the glutes, glutes go, if they don't feel on leg press, I would go to the abductor machine. If you put somebody on the abductor machine, and they feel the sides of the glutes burn, in that case, the feel matches what you're trying to do. If you have somebody doing these glute bridging exercises where their shoulders are on a chair and the hips are on the ground, and knees are bent, and they're kind of just driving their hips up. You feel that, but it's it's it's irrelevant, you know, you're feeling it, because you're trying to get the glutes to contract at the end of where they ...

Bill is well known for his approach to weight lifting which focuses on correct biomechanics to build strength without undue collateral damage to connective tissue and the rest of the body. In part 3 of 4, Adam gets Bill’s opinion on the machines vs. free weights debate. Then Adam asks the question, just what is functional training today?Bill DeSimone WebsiteOptimalexercisenj.comBill DeSimone - Congruent Exercisehttps://www.facebook.com/CongruentExerciseAs always, your feedback and suggestions are always welcome.Adam Zickerman – Power of 10: The Once-A-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution:http://bit.ly/ThePowerofTenWe would love to hear from you with your questions, comments & show ideas…Our email address is podcast@informfitness.com73: REWIND / Bill DeSimone Part 3 TranscriptArlene 0:01 The Inform fitness podcast with Adam Zickerman is a presentation of inform fitness studios specializing in safe, efficient, personal high intensity strength training, in each episode Adam discusses the latest findings in the areas of exercise nutrition and recovery, the three pillars of his New York Times best selling book, The Power of 10.

It's our listen back to classic interviews with high intensity gurus, master trainers, authors and scientists. This is part three of four with author and weightlifter and personal trainer, Bill De Simone. In this episode, I thought I would get Bill's opinion on the old debate on whether machines or free weights are better. But before we got into that, I asked Bill, what exactly is functional training today? A lot of people feel and argue that machines are great, if you want to just do really high intensity, get really deep and go to failure. But if you want to really learn how to use your body and space, then then free weights and bodyweight movements need to be incorporated. And both are important, going to failure within the same machines in a safe manner that may be cammed properly. But that in of itself is not enough that a lot of people feel for full fitness or conditioning, if you will, you need to use free weights or bodyweight movements. So if you have an opinion about whether one is better than the other, they both serve different purposes. And they're both important. Or if you just use either one of them correctly. You're good.Bill DeSimone 2:19 Well, I mean, let's talk about the the idea that free weights are more functional than machines. I personally think it's what you do with your body that makes it functional or not. And by functional. That's it.Adam 2:32 Let's talk about that. Alright, so what? Alright, so let's, before we even go into the question I just asked, maybe we can talk about this idea of what because even people were throwing around the expression functional training nowadays. So CrossFit is apparently functional training. So what exactly was functional training? Well, see, I don't know what it has, what has it become?Bill DeSimone 2:54 I don't know, I don't know what they're talking about. Because frankly, if I gotta move a tire from point A to point B, I'm rolling it, I'm not flipping it.Adam 3:03 That'd be more functional wouldn't it.Bill DeSimone 3:07 If I have a child or a bag of groceries, I have to lift I'm not going to lift the kettlebell or a dumbbell awkwardly to prepare for that awkward lift. In other words, I would rather train train my muscles safely. And then if I have to do something awkward, hopefully I'm strong enough to get through it to extend it. My thought was like when I started in 1982, or so, 84 83, somewhere in the early 80s, I started to struggle. Most of us at the time were very influenced by the muscle magazines. It was either muscle magazines, or the Nautilus one set to failure type training. But the people we were training in the early 80s, especially in Manhattan, they weren't bodybuilders and they weren't. They weren't necessarily athletes. So to train, business people, and celebrities and actors, etc. Like you would ...

Welcome to the inform fitness podcast rewind, our listen back to classic interviews with high intensity gurus, scientists, and authors. This is part two of four with author and personal trainer, and biomechanics expert Bill De Simone. Bill is certainly known for a sensible biomechanics approach to exercise and training, and that it should always be joint friendly. Bill and I are going to be talking about the importance of always using a safe and limited range of motion. Bill and I both agree that everyday life tests us and can in some cases, certainly push and extend our safe limits of range of motion, especially in sports. So later in the episode, we will be talking about should you be working out to extreme ranges of motion if your life or your sport asked forBill DeSimone 1:43 it. I'm saying limit range of motion because that might be the verbiage that we understand and maybe listeners would understand, it's really a lot more complicated than just saying use this range of motion. So for instance, in a low back exercise, a stiff legged deadlift, when I used to misinterpret that by using a full range of motion, I'd be standing on a bench with a barbell, and the barbell would be at shoe level, my knees would be locked, my lower back would be rounded, my shoulders would be up by my ears as I'm trying to get the bar off the ground. And so yes, I was using a full range of motion.Adam 2:20 And I go to a chiropractor just listening to that. Exactly,Bill DeSimone 2:23 yeah, but you still see it all the time. You see it all the time when people are using kettlebells. You see that exact posture, right? The kettlebells between their legs and knees are locked, the low back is rounded. And then now they're doing a speed lead, at least I was doing I'm slow. They're doing speed deadlifts. So if I was going to use it, if I was going to do an exercise like that, it would be a extreme range of motion, I would be looking use a correct range of motion. So for instance, I wouldn't lock the knees. And I would only lower the person's torso so that they could keep the curve in the lower back, which might require a rep or two to see where that is. But once you see where that is, that's what I would limit them to. So for instance, the chest press machine I have in the studio, so nitro andAdam 3:05 Nautilus, nitroBill DeSimone 3:05 Nautilus Nitro, the seat doesn't adjust enough for my preference. So the bed hurt the person's elbows come too far back. So first is to get the first rep off the ground, the person's elbows have to come way by way behind the plane of their back. So what So what I'll do is like, you know, I'll help the person out of the first repetition help out of the bottom, and then I'll have you the my hand or the clipboard where I want their elbow to stop. So as soon as I touch my hand on my elbow, they begin the other way. So that's another thing we tend to do is we tend to think of ...

So moment am is a very technical term, very specific term in physics, but then you now you're calling a joint friendly exercise. And you will recall that also congruent exercise at 1.0, all synonymous with each other. So please explain what is joint friendly, exercise or fitness Bill DeSimone 2:14 Its based more on anatomy and biomechanics than sports performance. Unlike, you know, a lot of the fitness fads that the attitude and the verbiage comes out of say, you know, football practice or a competitive sport, what I'm doing is I'm filtering all my exercise instruction through the anatomy and biomechanics books, to try to avoid the vulnerable, putting the joints in vulnerable positions. And that's so complicated, which is why I struggled so much to make it clear. So I started with moment arm exercise. And then I wrote congruent exercise, which was a little broader. But obviously, the title still requires some explanation. Now, as it happened, in my personal training in the studio, I would use all this stuff, but I wouldn't explain it because I was only dealing with clients, I wasn't dealing with peers. Since it's a private studio, not a big gym, I don't have to explain the differences between what I'm doing and what somebody else is doing. But in effect, I do. I've been doing this every day for 15 yearsAdam 3:13 You know, I have to say, when you say that, that you didn't explain to clients, I actually use this information as a selling point, I actually explain to my clients, why we're doing it this way, as opposed to the conventional way, because this is joint friendly. I don't get too technical, necessarily, but I let them know there is a difference of why we're doing it this way versus the conventional way. So they understand that we actually are cut above everybody else and how we apply exercise so they don't feel you know, they feel very secure in the fact that they're doing what they're supposed to be doing butBill DeSimone 3:47 but you know, what I do is Oh, is any any signage, I have business card, website, Facebook presence, all lays out joint friendly and defines it and ...

  • 70: Bad Education
    2020/09/21
    The idea to include physical education as part of a child’s core curriculum is as uniquely American as Edison’s light bulb and the Blues. As early as the mid 1800’s American educators argued that, from kindergarten through to 12th grade, schools should provide children with the knowledge and activities necessary to maintain a high level of physical fitness for a lifetime. In the mid 1950’s, President Eisenhower established the President’s Council on Youth Fitness (PCYF) urging schools to offer ‘15 minutes of daily, vigorous activity’. And America’s Physical education system was born.President Kennedy continued to address the issue of physical education, and although the PCYF did not have the authority to impose a national program, it developed and promoted a curriculum to improve fitness. Two hundred thousand copies were distributed in a sweeping drive to achieve widespread participation in the program for the 1961–1962 school year. The program produced a measurable improvement in fitness nationwide as well as a shift in public attitudes and wider participation. Today, however, Fitness classes are disappearing from the nation's public schools at an alarming rate, vanquished by ever-tightening budgets and time constraints. Only about half of students in grades K-12 have physical education classes every day, and even less for high school students. All at a time when there is a growing body of evidence showing exercise to be fertilizer for the brain. Exercise fosters brain development and growth, and physical activity prepares children to learn. If you are a parent with young children you must listen to our most recent episode, “Bad Education” with Robert Francis. Robert explains how important exercise is for our children and details the fascinating, yet sobering history of the Physical Education system in American schools; from its roots, its original mission, how we diverged and what, as parents, we can do about it.As always, your feedback and suggestions are always welcome.Adam Zickerman – Power of 10: The Once-A-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution:http://bit.ly/ThePowerofTenWe would love to hear from you with your questions, comments & show ideas…Our email address is podcast@informfitness.comInform_R FRANCIS Ep 70 TranscriptSUMMARY KEYWORDSphysical education, exercise, sports, people, fitness, school, called, problems, education, athletics, early, teaching, educators, kids, gymnastics, plato, naperville, games, obesity, recreationArlene 00:01The Inform fitness podcast with Adam Zickerman is a presentation of Inform fitness studios, a small family of personal training facilities specializing in safe, efficient high intensity strength training.

He has a fount of information, when I asked him about all the subjects that we should talk about, one subject that he likes to talk about, and he's well versed on is something that you don't normally hear me talking about, because I don't really know that much about it at all. Although Robert says I do no more than I think about it. So we're going to find out. And that is the subject of your original intent of our physical education system in the United States. You know, gym class and school, and how it compares to the actual present reality is how Robert likes to put it. So, Robert, I guess we'll start with this question.
