@theopenposturedoc: I know y’all are gonna come at me with all your strength training ideology on this one. And I get it I would have a few years ago, too. Maybe you can even tag @brettcontrarius a million times again :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: But here’s the deal — heavy weights works to build muscle. That’s not the question I’m not stupid. But if you’re someone that pees themselves when they laugh, lives with hip pain, knees that ache loading yourself heavier isn’t going to make you feel better in your body. You have to learn the alignment of your bones that does that. We’ve become obsessed the thinking that we need weight to build muscle and bone. That’s bullshit. We know from the science that you contracting hard can build JUST AS MUCH muscle and bone as lifting heavy. I’ve healed my hips, pelvic floor, knees & feet (and jaw pain and airway issues and neck pain but that’s another story) AND built a bigger bum than I ever did while doing heavy hip thrusts. Because my body wasn’t able to build musclein places it couldn’t load well. I just got a stronger and tighter pelvic floor and hip impingement on its way to FAI. All y’all that move great, have no pain and don’t feel like you need a massage everyday can keep lifting heavy. But for the rest of the world, come heal and BUILD MUSCLE & BONE WITHOUT HEAVY WEIGHTS with me. And heal yourself at the same time. All my love, Dr. Lily (PS I decided long ago that showing my butt in the name of helping people heal is worth it for me so no need to comment on your opinion of that) #bowspring #hipthrust #glutegains #pelvicfloor
