elliot, i have been going to the gym for a few months now and i have really been neglecting my triceps. in an attempt to get them bigger fast i started to do skull crushers today and felt pain in my right elbow during the exercise. could this be caused by my bicep/tricep muscle imbalance? also my right elbow makes a very slight click when i keep my bicep tense and extend my arm. what should i do?
yo elliot,i noticed one side of my chest bone is WAY bigger than the other.its like i have one boob,but its not fat.i workout nd i got pecs growning in.do you think its related to this?my chest is wierdly shaped.just curious.i asked my doctor but he said its all good.should i make a vid about this?
@vasbyollu This "imbalance" that Elliot is talking about is called scoliosis, which is when your vertebral spine is curved from side to side instead. If you are suffering from this you could probably tell by looking at your back in a mirror and checking whether or not your spine is in a straight line.
hey Elliot i took MMA classes for a while and while grappling the instructor he put me in a hold and my neck popped and ever since then my neck always cracks. All the time i have to crack it or else it gets suuperr stiff. whats up with that
I have slight scoliosis and i train like elliot has said strech the tight muscles strenghen the weak do posture exercises and im sure my curve has improved. Weight lifting isnt top of my list and im in better shape than most,
@paaaatrika if you sleep on your stomach that's why your legs longer than another. I have the same issue. If thats your issues try sleeping on your side or back.
Hey Elliot! I don't remember having this growing up (I'll be 24 at autumn).
It *seems* like one of my legs are longer than the other by about half an inch, i use an inlay in my right shoe for this reason so I guess it's pretty bad. I've been to the doctor about it but, you know, treat the symptoms, and the statistics will look great. But i know this *could* be due to an imbalance, or tightness. Any tips tips on this? I've got no job so i can't really afford seeing i chiropractor or anything. Thx
I love how you can talk about things and make things simple and then you can draw on a board and sound like a scientist, I really enjoy your video's your the bomb.
@strengthcamp Great Vid !!, I too suffer from scoliosis and this was very informative. In my experience hanging stretches are very helpfull and sleeping on your back as often as possible.
Hey man, you've mentioned in a couple videos about viscero-somatic inhibition. I'm keen to do some research on the topic. Can you point me to some resources you might know of, please?
if you were a teacher at my college, i would be so happy to wake up in the morning and go to school lol, even if you were teaching economic or philosophy :) you are just a great human being and i wish you all the best.
your focus right now should be on alignment of your L5 and atlas and straigtening out your hips and pelvis. This is all done by stretching regimens as elliot mentioned. after that you can then focus on strengthening the weaker side of your body in order to improve balance and decrease the degree of curvature. it is typical north american practice to suggest surgery because its all about making money. but im a walking example of how stretching and therapy can fix scoliosis. (start 18 deg, now 8)
i have scoliosis my self but not congenial it just developed after an injury when i was in my growth spurt. im 19 now been doing osteopathic treatment for about 8 months and pretty much everything elliott told you is right. the reason for curvature of the spine is because muscles on the convex side of the curve are shorter and weaker than those on the concave side which are more extended and stronger because they are trying to prevent a complete collapse of the spin to one side....
Yo Elliot,so basically whatever you said i interpreted like this : any type of muscular imbalance is your body's way of adapting to the environment or by the sheer usage of one extremity more than the other or it can be genetical. did i get it right ?
really enjoyed this video. I have a question. I am a female and new to lifting. My right hip is higher then my left and my left shoulder is higher then my right. I carry my kids on my right hip so Im guessing this is the cause. my core is also weak from pregnancy. I have been lifting for a month now and dont want to lose the progress I have made, but I also know that if my core is weak and my body aliment is off im not goin to make much progress and will be prone to injury. what should I do?
Yo Elliot!!! forever alone guy checking in ...just a quick question for you bro ..at 8:27 you talking about reproduction is more important than building muscle for the human body ..does that mean if i don't have sex ,it might be harder for me to build muscle :( ???
@strengthcamp Hey elliot, so you got any answers for what i posted to 43steelerss dude, is there such thing as too much testosterone and hormone levels, thanks.
@43Steelerss Yeah i get where you're coming from, and i'm not trying to be a smarty, it's just sometimes, i want to share a comment, anyways, i think elliot is referring to not being able to as he said get your hard on, instead of not wanting or choosing to have sex, cause like he said not being able to do so means possibly low testosterone and anabolic hormone levels, but i think there are ways to boost this you got any elliot.? Thanks bro.
@43Steelerss i dont know if this is true but a few days ago i read that if you dont have sex for a week your testosterone drops alot.... why take the chance? its not like sex boring or time consuming lol
I watched this whole thing, I used to have scoliosis but overcame it doing EXACTLY what Elliot said. Turning off your strong side is probably more important than totally shredding the weak side with weights. Also, way to walk the line real careful and not give him any dangerous advice.
@KaozVT Man can you give me some tips i have slight functional scoliosis, one side of my back is weak and flexible and the other is strong and tight. also my hips are twisted.
I learned a lot from your video today, I had no idea what scoliosis was let alone how it affected your body. There's something about the way you teach that makes it so interesting to listen to, I know I definitely wouldn't have stuck through a 15 minute lesson of a topic I have no interest in from anyone else.
It's great to see that you're putting so much effort into helping your fans!
very interesting stuff.... wondering if you could explain a bit more on the hierarchy of the CNS. I've never heard anything like that before. Interesting about digestion. What about stuff like not wearing glasses?
YO ELLIOT! my buddys mom has multiple sclerosis (hope i didnt butcher the word) in the knees. Shes in incredible pain all the time and on pain pills. Shes had multiple surgeries and havent done shit. Minus the fact shes in pain, any workouts to get her strength back up?
Brains or Brawn? Brains or Brawn? I just can't decide which I should go for. Wait, if Elliot can have both.... Hell Yeah! Another amazing, educational video my friend. I think the University idea isn't bad. Maybe look at a way to answer some questions or do guest videos like this for sports science type classes or something that means you don't have to directly deal with students. Maybe a third business for you? Either way, keep educating me.
Yo! Elliot! This is kind of an stupid question and I was wondering if you could answer it really quickly in your next video or even via text. But does being too sexually active have any affect on muscle growth. So like if I masturbate way too much will that make it harder for me to gain muscle or easier or is it just null and void for all of this. I was just discussing it with a buddy and he thinks that doing that a lot will make your body gain more muscle. sounds like bs to me but who knows!
elliot, i myself was born with a back problem that was mixed with scoliosis. I was supposed to go to surgery and what saved me and strengthened my back was that i swam. I swam a lot. if he swims a lot it can strengthen and help him straighten his back out
Yo Elliot, you got anything for a starting boxer? I was about 105kg last summer now im at 68kg 6'1" after a little less than a year of boxing. Im not exactly looking to build muscle cause that is basically gaining weight and moving up in the weight class. I im just looking to get power/strength/endurance.
Sorry for posting this before going through all your videos first tho.
You know everything and more about how the human body works... where do you get all of this information? you're like Einstein in the biology department - you're the brain of brains.
Thanks for these 'complicated' answers of yours! They are brill.
@strengthcamp You would be the reason why students like you would actually have a genuine intrest in school and WANT to go. You engauge the audience and break subjects down very well. You are extremely 'well rounded' in your knowledge. Cheers.
Would you also hate lecturing when it was for an audiance that actually CHOSE that particular (sports /physicallity) related study? :) You're pretty good at this stuff man.
Wow, your videos are amazing. I don't have scoliosis, but my right shoulder is slightly higher than my left shoulder and lately I've been feeling headaches on my right side near my neck but didn't know what it was. Keep up the great work!

Yo Elliott,
I study sports and physical education.
All you say sounds reasonable - even though you try to summ it up in easy language it's still correct.
To your "question"/lil mistake in your clip:
It's called "Lovett-Brothers" named after Robert W. Lovett who wrote about the connection between Cervicalis and Lumbalis.
He also found out that Axis and L4 has connections and so on.
All summed up: every Cervicalis has an antagonist in the Lumbalis.
