Just by doing some DJM, Z style, I can loosen stuff up. My hips are great and knees are getting much, much better. I'm squatting pain free for the first time since I was 19--that's 14 years. I've also had chronic right knee pain since I sulexed my patella at age 16 while wrestling. It's now gone. 16 years. <BR/><BR/>Z-Health addresses the nervous system first, then the musculo-skeletal system second. A lot of the DJM I've been doing has unwound tension patterns that I've had since I've started lifting (17-18 years) due to injuries. For example, I now have a right VMO; previously, I've struggled to get that thing to hypertrophy. My legs looked completely different before Z, now they look almost the same.<BR/><BR/>I share this with you because I know you would find the intricacies very, very interesting.<BR/><BR/>E-mail me or call me if you want more info.Geoff Neuperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429352189298183355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-1147819234223337112006-05-16T15:40:00.000-07:002006-05-16T15:40:00.000-07:00Thanks for linking up my blog.

I cannot squat.period.<BR/><BR/>it is interesting though that when I swing a lot and dont squat when I do have to go into one its easy. when I train the position all the time I'm always locked up.<BR/><BR/>thanks royce its going in the right direction.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-1147741391896050512006-05-15T18:03:00.000-07:002006-05-15T18:03:00.000-07:00I'm glad too that you figured it out. 2 minutes of...I'm glad too that you figured it out. <BR/>2 minutes of Hindu squats kicks my toucas, five minutes in in a wide horse is HARD.

I don't do squats, at least not heavy squats. They hurt my back tremendously, always have. Funny how bodyweight movements can still reak havoc on the body. Your issuse definitely sounds mechanical.Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.com
