Aug 9th 2017 - Raising your Set Point - Exercise - MicroChipping
Today we talk with Ryan Lowery about exercise as a weight loss method, we talk with Daniel Tague about raising your set point, and we talk with Rosalie Robinson about micro-chipping at work.Ryan Lowery refers to this article which talks about specific exercises decreasing your appetite which in turn help with weight loss.Here is a Q & A with Daniel Tague:
- What is a set point?
- Point right now for maximum force the muscle can handle
- If you exceed your set point muscle inhibition will occur (muscle shuts down)
- Maximum Threshold
- The max amount to stress/ load a muscle can take before severe injury may accrue (rupture)
- Minimum threshold
- If the minimum is not met can cause cell death and atrophy
- Set point going down is the downward progression that we associate with aging
- Raising the set point will widen the maximal physiological operating window
- Point right now for maximum force the muscle can handle
- How do you raise it?
-
- By raising the contractile ability of each muscle
- Isometrics
- Muscle treatment MAT
- Lifting
- By raising the contractile ability of each muscle
- How do you know you have raised it?
-
- If it can take more stress and not shut down
- Workout longer and harder with more load without muscles shutting down
- Active improved range of motion and muscle testing.
- If it can take more stress and not shut down
