As someone who is still recovering after three years from repetitive shoulder injuries this could be a game changer. I didn’t realize until now that there was a way to bulk and increase the elasticity of my tendons. My biggest shoulder issue is bicep tendonitis in both my long and short head. This will really help I think. I will be sending you an email asking for tips/advice.

Curious why you're using isometric instead of progressive overload? In particular, forearm / brachialis respond well to muscle tension and exercise stimulus from progressive overload - with results being hypertrophy, strenght and and endurance. Isometrics certainly lower joint stress and targeted positions (and can do them anywhere) but they don't cover any range of motion and have less muscle activation. I do hangs (iso) and reverse curls, forearm curls and while I do get a wicked pump from hangs, the fundamental strength builder is the progressive overload. Congrats on throwing some world class speed! Awesome stuff.
@NickKrush.DGandFit
6 ай бұрын
It’s great to see you in here HUB! The elbow and shoulder isos are done this way to allow for viscoelastic creep in the associated tendons, which allows for collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling with low risks. So, the goal there is to make the connective tissues more robust rather than to build strength in the muscle. The grip overcoming iso will have a natural progressive overload as that firing pattern becomes stronger from continued repetition (albeit hard to measure other than the eye test of the disc flexing).

@@NickKrush.DGandFit interesting, I have never heard of that before. I’ve used a few iso moves for knees (and hangs) but I’ve had more interest in the muscle building aspect, but I’ve also never studied up on the fast twitch side. I’m pretty much 200 pounds of slow twitch! I spend about 90% of my headspace on muscle building, 10% on mobility and it shows in my throwing. 0% on cardio!! Keep the results coming, and get tracking on your muscle size and strength, metrics are important!

Question for you. I started playing roughly 6 months ago and play minimum 4/5 times a week, max distance roughly 450. My middle fingers joint is nearly always stiff and sensitive. Probably a tendon injury or inflammation. Any suggestions?
@NickKrush.DGandFit
6 ай бұрын
I have also been having issues (with the tip of my middle finger), so I am suspicious yours may be a combination of your grip biasing a large amount of clamping/pivot pressure through that digit, as well as general overuse where the tissues haven't fully adapted to what is being asked of them. If possible, you could try using a different grip for a while (modified fan grip as an example) to allow it to heal, and then slowly work your way back to a sustainable grip strategy.

@NickKrush.DGandFit

It's hard for me to say without seeing your form, because oftentimes hip issues can be related to movement patterns that excessively stress joints. Do you think your foot may be planting excessively closed and hips are opening excessively, causing the femur head to go into extreme internal rotation in the hip joint?

I will have to make a video down the road once I've developed my forehand and have more personal experience, but the second two exercises in this vid will be a good starting point. You can also reverse the shoulder exercise (go into 45 degrees externally rotated position, then pull inwards against doorway (with internal rotators). Can even supinate the wrist to match the angle from forehand (palm to the sky).

I would shoot for a minimum of 2 sessions (of the 3x3x2s scheme) per week, and can go upwards of 4 sessions per week if you aren't throwing often or lifting often. Personally, I have been doing just 2 per week because it's such an intense stimulus and I feel that is the minimum effective dose to improve, and limits chance of fatigue impacting my throwing.

I don't unfortunately, it is a power grip with main pinch point as middle finger, the middle finger and ring finger last digits are nearly parallel to flight plate and then index and pinky are more upright.

My CNS likes this video. You mention "pouring the tea" (fellow tea drinker?! LET'S GOOO) aka ulnar deviation for nose down. Have you experimented with "turning the key" (supination) more instead for nose angle? So far with tech disc I've been able to get so much more nose down (-6 degrees with 10 launch angle and high speed) when I time it right by focusing more on supinating as I'm about to come out of the power pocket and not even worrying about "pouring the coffee". I think the briefcase carry also kind of helps set you up to turn the key harder / more dynamically since you are starting out with more pronation which is more relaxed and then you can focus on going into supination instead of tensed to try and maintain supination the whole time which likely results in not supinating enough since it's not comfortable to hold. It's confusing how both of them can result in nose down when each motion seems to tilt the disc at different places on the disc seemingly separated by 90 degrees.
@NickKrush.DGandFit
6 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching :) I'm 100% with you on that, transitioning from a pronated to supinated position near release can make as big if not bigger of a difference for nose angle than the "tea pouring" set position. I remember the day I started doing that and I instantly gained 50ft on my drivers because I had been throwing with excessively positive nose angles until then! For a lot of people I've coached, I usually use the tea pouring set position as a pre-shot checklist item so it carries well into this drill just to make things aligned similarly in an anatomical sense, but the dynamic pronation to supination transition is something I look for too.
@disc-golf-neil
6 ай бұрын
@@NickKrush.DGandFit Yeah, I prefer a "set and forget" checklist for simplicity as much as possible, so I resisted working on the briefcase carry for that reason. But when I tried it, there was something odd looking / feeling about setting and locking a coffee pour while holding the disc in a briefcase position so I decided to just try not worrying about it and it started to seem unnecessary so now I'm like, hmm.. but maybe it's habit and is still happening automatically closer to release.
@pisteville7797

If hitpoint was 9 o’clock it would be pure pronation to supination move. If hitpoint was 12 o’clock it would be pure pouring the tea. But our hitpoint is around 10-11 so the direction where disc is going is inbetween. Thats why pouring the coffee helps but you need also to supinate.
