It seems that lifting faster💨 or slower🐢 doesn’t really make much difference!🤷🏾‍♂️

However🤨, there was a slight advantage (more gains) with the groups that lifted the weights faster!💨But the differences weren’t huge.📊

Lifting faster may allow you to move more weight🏋🏽‍♂️ meaning more mechanical tension📈on the muscle and therefore, more gains.💪🏽Lifting slower🐢may result in needing to use a lighter🪶 weight (less mechanical tension) but more time under tension which can also result in gains.⏰

Mechanical tension seems to be the main (not only) factor to drive muscle growth.

You’ve all heard the story😴about your posture causing your pain and then conveniently, the person telling you also has a brand new ‘posture correcting’🛍️device that will “fix” your posture and your pain will be gone!🙄

Sounds great, but unfortunately, it’s a fairytale🧚

There’s a lot of BS💩all over socials but be sceptical🤨about who you listen to and who you take advice from! They should AT LEAST provide you with a sourceℹ️of where they are getting their information from, and if they’re not, think twice!2️⃣

If you want honest and evidence-based information - you’re in the right place.📍
If you need help managing your pain, then get in touch to get back on track!⬇️

Most of the time noisy / clicky knees are completely normal! Joint have fluid and tiny gas bubbles 🛁 when the bubble pops, it makes a sound. The sound can also come from ligaments flicking over each other. 🦴

There are times where noisy knees can be related to structural changes 🚧 but the noise isn’t a good indicator of predicting issues!🤷🏽‍♂️

⚠️If you have noisy knees associated with
- a recent injury / trauma
- Swelling
- Pain

Then that’s when you wanna get it checked out!🔦

With pain, it doesn’t necessarily have to be linked to the crepitus / noise. It could just be a sensitive knee! 🌡️. It may help to reduce the aggravating factors and gradually build them back up!
