Podcast #134: Metabolic Tendons with Derek Griffin

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000699327183 “We tend to see people with tendinopathy that are more sedentary. So they’re not typically the athletic populations and they’ll still develop tendinopathy. So common areas would be the gluteal tendons, the rotator cuff, the lateral elbow.” I think within these groups, the clinical presentation is in many ways similar, but there’s many different…

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000699196938 “I’ve had quad tendonitis and golfers and tennis elbow on both elbows. So I first got interested in tendons from damaging my own through training like a knucklehead in my early 20s with little regard for what I was doing to my body and not backing off.” “I can’t think of a single case…

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000699042161 “So basically all of tendon adaptation is strain mediated. That is the most important mechanical factor.” “Metabolic factors, they may play a role, of course, at a given amount of mechanical loading. But in comparison to mechanical loading, not as important. So it’s a minor factor.” “When the stimulus for the tendon is more…

So we and that and it’s, a good, it’s a timely trial because there’s now pretty good evidence in the Achilles insertion that it doesn’t work when you add it to exercise. So when you add…
Podcast #130: Tendons with Gerard McMahon
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000697939678 “When you work with athletes, probably frustration of mine is people focus a lot just on muscle and forget it’s part of a muscle tendon complex, a muscle tendon bone complex.” Tendon: “The tissue has its own metabolism. The cells need energy to renew the extracellular matrix and stuff like that so there’s an…

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000697660390 “A clock is basically a molecular timer. It’s found in every single cell in your body and it is conserved across our planet. So I don’t care whether you’re a plant or you’re a bacterium or whether you’re a fly or whether you’re a human. You have a 24 hour timer in all of…

Podcast #127: Tendons with Nils Heim

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000697191172 A weaker tendon and a stronger muscle: “it only makes sense for bodybuilders, know, just people that train their calves just with maybe let’s say higher reps and not that much of a weight that doesn’t really increase the stiffness or all the structural capabilities of tendons. And the calf just gets super big…

I have no scientific proof on that. I just I think…

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jacked-athlete-podcast/id1462537296?i=1000695065247 Diagnosis: “I just realized none of the findings of the testing really changed anything. The treatment was always the same, no matter what you found. And that was an early realization in my career. And then I’ve just doubled down on it where for the vast majority of things, unless you’re a surgeon or…
