  • WHAT A COMPLETE JACKASS!

  • It's scary that this guy is a PT. He's way off base and neglects the most basic aspects of muscle physiology. "pull ups and push ups and you're gonna see they won't have shoulder problems"??? Crazy... This is the mindless stuff they keep feeding the CF community.

  • What Kelly is discussing is called "reciprocal innervention" and was first published by DeLorme and later discussed by Dr.s Karpovich and Kraus as early at the mid-1940s. RI states that if one side of the body is injured (one author states that is one side of the body is injured (casted), then training the opposite side of the body improves healing time through blood flow mechanisms. To the best of my knowledge, components such as GH, cortisol, and other "growth factors" were not studied.

  • This is beyond wrong.

  • thank you.
