Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

261: What The Heck Is Shoulder Health?
Q: What do you recommend for maintaining good shoulder health?
Lawrence says shoulder health involves adequate function and comfort, overall health and systemic factors, and building physical capacity through progressive, varied loading. He recommends simple push, pull and raise exercises, adjusting movements that provoke symptoms, and gradually progressing as tolerated.
257: Can We Predict Injuries?
Q: Could a current knee pain be caused by an old ankle injury?
Yes, it's possible because reduced ankle dorsiflexion from a past injury can alter squat mechanics and load distribution, potentially contributing to knee pain, though it's often not possible to say for sure and the main focus should be on current treatment and load management.
256: Lisa Cantlin - Into The Pro League
Q: What goes into choosing which shows to compete at in the US, given how many options there are?
Cantlin describes prioritizing big, prestigious shows to access Olympia-level feedback and judges, while considering travel convenience and proximity of multiple events within a single trip.
247: Rehab Gimmicks & Flexible Tracking
Q: What should someone consider if they're dealing with quad tendinopathy or posterior knee pain during deep flexion?
He advises that posterior knee pain is unlikely caused by quad tendinopathy, suggests Baker's cyst as a possible cause, notes that pain can be multifactorial, and recommends professional assessment plus gradual, evidence-based rehab focusing on activity modification and symptom monitoring.
247: Rehab Gimmicks & Flexible Tracking
Q: What can you tell us about backchain dominance and its evidence base?
He explains that back chain dominance is not supported by evidence; fascia is not contractile in itself and cannot be trained in isolation, postural claims are overstated, and real-world performance relies on sport-specific practice rather than isolated drills like crawling or tongue anchoring.
