Training And Lifting With A Hamstring Injury Brenan Ghassemieh

SHOW NOTES   Brenan Ghassemieh was introduced to me by a good friend, Dr. Cody Dimak (Session 31), as the perfect guy to speak about training responsibility around injuries. Since we've been focusing on hamstring injuries, we kept that as a central focus BUT it's important to realize the body works as ONE UNIT and we can't separate regions in training and rehab. You'll hear this concept of centrality throughout the entire podcast. A few major points/ concepts we come back to are: Hamstring tightness vs the "feeling of tightness" Exercises to train the hamstring that are safe If you're feeling a hamstring "grab" during exercises then it's not normal Training of the hamstring centers around posture, compound lifts and eccentrics Hamstring tightness is not always bad Assessment of an individual starts with observation!   Videos Correlated: Everything can be found in this single video Assessments movements to watch: SRDL Goblet Squat Lateral Squat Lateral Wedge Warm-ups or Movement Prep: Lateral Band Crab Walks Lateral Squat (just record once) Rotational Squat Side Bridge Pallof Press Anti-Cops Rotational Chops Curtsy Lunges Transverse Lunges If you're a clinician this is the perfect podcast session to share with that patient who's been asking questions about what they can/can't do in the gym with a hamstring strain. If you're a patient/athlete you need to be examined first and properly diagnosed with the CORRECT condition before you rehab. Movement is everything and often times you need to be cued properly by a professional. Contact Brenan IG: @brenan_ghassemieh Email: [email protected] Sebastian's Youtube Channel for hamstring videos.
