Consider this...
If I was to perform a "chest press" type motion with dumbbells while: Lying on my back vs. Standing vs. Laying face-down on an elevated bench, the muscular recruitment required in each of these scenarios would be entirely unique, EVEN when the movements are identical!

FORCE not Motion is the key ingredient in determining which muscles are loaded and with how much
Yes...
movement is essential for a healthy body and mind... BUT the key ingredient in skeletal tissue adaptation is FORCE, not movement.
In fact...
exercise boils down to a very simple tug-of-war.
External Force Application VS. Internal Force Production
From Rehab to Pilates, from Running to Crossfit. The ingredients are the same.
To become a superstar chef, study ingredients not only recipes.
Why am I talking about this?
Because this is the key ingredient to help you move better and feeling better so you can live better.
No Pills. No stretching. No medication. No Massage. No Surgery. No Adjustments. No therapy.
