In this episode, Jared Powell host of ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ YouTube channel oversees a fascinating discussion with Greg Lehman and Andrew Lock who are debating lifting techniques and lower back pain Both hold strong opinions and share great insights into their personal position and why they hold the opinions they do in this insightful and absorbing discussion Whether you are lifting a box or lifting weights this is a discussion worth listening to before you make up your own mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS The research done to date doesn’t really answer the question Very few injuries are the result of a single event, it’s accumulated micro trauma Movement is neurological skill acquisition and rehabilitation is teaching the skill to move efficiently and effectively There are a set of noble principles with variables that can be used to produce a safe lifting technique When we lift we are using we are using our body levers to move load and doing it as efficiently as possible We have bodies that vary and principles need to be applied to the individual, strength is specific and lifting is specific to the task All coaches say they work on best technique according to the individual We can all recognise that we are different and can look at the research and come to different conclusions Lifting is about the hip axis and you need to maximise the torque Get into the position where the hips are in the primary focus When people compare different spine models there is an issue because the biomechanics disagree You have to earn the right to change the position Transference of movement beyond the gym is an important aspect of biomechanical function Strength is a skill and skill comes from practise, perfect practise produces perfect skills that can be transferred into daily life Biomechanical injury is not random, it’s observable, it’s assessable and predictable Physics governs us all You need to learn to move in the best fit pattern for your body BEST MOMENTS ‘This debate has never been settled’ ‘There cannot be one lifting position it’s preposterous’ ‘Spinal flexion is a beautiful thing ‘That there is only one best lifting position is said by no one’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE Find Greg on Twitter and Instagram @greglehman Find Andrew on Instagram @andrew_lock_strength Link to the debate on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciCDko6JGaQ Jared Powell - Shoulder of Giants YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9WC27yg4Y8gAwLI64cilug ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
