Interesting but perhaps a misleading title. I can’t see it taking less time to set up an eccentric-only exercise - it’s simply quicker to perform the concentric component to get back to the start position of an eccentric component. Perhaps with purpose built machines this benefit could be exploited. The most immediate application I can think of for this would be lowering down from pull-up position using foot-platforms - step up onto the platform, lower down to full hang, then step up again. This could be of actual benefit, costing no more time and done with no modification of currently available equipment.
Oh yea for sure. Being active goes along with a whole slew of self care practices that just makes life better all around, in everyway, especially in the wiring of the brain. If I were a scientist, I’d love to be studying the human brain. It’s fascinating.
Dude, no kidding. I used to be super athletic and I’m hoping I can go back into it after they rewire my foot but everything regarding my wellbeing fell to pieces when I first got hurt. It’s amazing the difference it makes.
It took me a lot of b.s. to finally start taking care of myself. I played sports growing up too, but fell into the grind, and alot of extremely self destruction behavior.
Once I decided to actually care for myself, it sparked a certain mindfulness in my own life and how I live it.
I started working out, playing pick up sports here and there, and gardening. I like to garden and do push ups/medicine ball etc in-between my tasks. I just feel good. I think feeling good goes a long way to being healthy, and alleviating stress, as well as the small unimportant things that tend to bother us when we are stagnant.
It’s a process and a struggle, but worth it. Sometimes I’m lazy lol. But I’m trying to keep a lid on my complacency.
Luckily I’ve been blessed with decent health ftmp, but lately I been dealing with the onset of carpal tunnel and bad knees. So there’s a balance I need to find.
