No worries, and nice cut by the way! Impressive.
ASll these guys have there ups and downs, Lyle Mcdonald is another fine example, lots of his shit is brilliant, other shit is just that.
My stance is to gain knowledge and experience, and be able to employ the best techniques from each where applicable.

[quote=Frosty;648279]This is where I start to get slightly irritated.
Let me put it this way--I will listen to a coach that has encyclopedic knowledge and an incredible track record with producing results over people that look at research ANY day. I get sick of hearing people that read research say all this shit when the literature is usually limited for what we want to do, and you have people out there with not only the education, but broad knowledge of many fields as well as extraordinary amounts of experience AND producing results, and we just say they're full of shit because of "research" or whatever the hell you want to say.
I'm not buying it. That's horse shit.[/quote]
The bold is exactly why you are a moron frosty.
Remember this: i dont post for you, because your mind is soft and lacks the discipline to remain evidence-based.

You're welcome to remain years behind while waiting for the research to come out on the things coaches are already finding to work Good luck with that.

you're welcome to wallow in your ignorance and make-believe.
This forum is called "bodybuilding science," and if you dont like the rigor of science, stay in your little gnc world. In fact, i'm quite happy to have used car-salesmen with no formal scientific training not participate in my threads at all.
Your input isnt worth shit. Never has been. Never will be.

Some of you brighter people who dont find my analysis satisfying might try and find more evidence in support of the role of the fascia in restricting muscle growth, or more evidence that engorging muscles with blood effectively stretches myofibers into growth.
I dont think you will find anything more compelling than what i have posted, but give it a try.

The majority of modern training techniques and diet are based off scientific research.
I think most people think the fascia is just the covering of the muscle, but it also wraps all the individual muscle fibres and runs through all the muscle.
To stretch out the fascia would be to lose the structural integrity of muscle.
I think it is things like the fascia that make a steak that hasn't been aged properly tough and chewy.
Good steak is aged at least 30 days, or you have to cook roasts for ages to tenderise this.

compartment syndrome cannot be used to validate the differences in the properties of fascia across people since it occurs secondary to a traumatic event. the fascia is already different because of injury. the limitations of fascia itself and how the body adapts to injury causes compartment syndrome. no evidence exists of correlations between thicker or less elastic fascia and compartment syndrome.
fascia does not limit growth or muscle hypertrophy beyonds its inherent function to provide tension forces and structure. theories of muscle restrictions due to fascia are flawed on every level including physiological processes.
more of these limitations in a bit.

There is an old paper cited in the publication i posted that suggested there were differences in thickness and elasticity with compartment syndrome.
would you like me to give the citation?
I was somewhat surprised myself.
Finally, i agree that this idea seems unfounded, and the above paper represents the most supportive data i could find.
There are no fasciotomies performed on control patients to judge what effect (if any) loosening the fascia would have on normal muscle growth.
The only other place to go is myofibril stretching, which would reasonably also result from muscle engorgement or site-enhancement oil.
In any case, Greg valentino and other's hideous growth demands an explanation as to what is "growing." Like i said, there is some suggestion that it can be non-contractile tissue, which seems more likely to me than muscle.
And now folks, we have a real scientific discussion going on this subject....
thanks pt.

fascia is usually descibed in three categories: superficial, deep or visceral. i assume when people reference fascial stretching by dc or rambod, they are speaking of superficial or deep. someone can correct me on this. so fasica wraps around not just muscle but bones, organs, tendons, ligaments, etc. this further argues that increasing the extensibility of fascia is not necessarily what we waht.
for a moment, im going to skip over whether we can actually perform this. but, if we could stretch the deep fasica we might cause further orthopaedic involvement because of the tight relationship between fascia, muscle, tendons, ligaments, joint capsule, etc. "loose" fasica would set the occasion for "loose" joints.

Muscle anatomy, any anatomy really, is not my area of expertise by any means.
My limited study have revealed to me that the structure of muscle is incredibly complicated, right down to the actin and myosin fibres.
However, it is fairly obvious that there is a LOT of fascia, as you have stated, and I would think that stretching it out would be analogous to a muscle hernia.
