Pelvic Core Dysfunction: Lifting Heavy

I get this question about lifting heavy, whether it be a power clean, a back squat, a deadlift, but putting loads on our body that we want to put on there to make ourselves stronger, to make our bones and our muscles handle more, well think about gravity pushing down on us think about the floor or the earth pushing back up on us. Those are pressures that are always constant. And sometimes our pelvic neuromuscular system really can’t manage that too well. So we start this prolonged challenging of the systems being pushed on more and more and more, we have to take into consideration two things, the inter abdominal pressure that our core maintains, think about when you lift up something heavy, you hold your breath, there’s a transfer of focus, as we can call it, that we need to maintain, well, the abdominals, control that in front, the lower back and hip muscles control that back, our diaphragm controls on the top, or pelvic core holds it on the bottom. And of course, we even have their sides or oblique muscles per se. So they need to function very dynamically and very in tune with each other to make those lifts to make those exercises very successful. If they can’t, well, we have to sometimes steal from one to pay the other. And usually the PNS is the one who gets stolen from and that can manage. Well, it can cause a lot of problems. So we want to make sure that heavy exercises, heavy lifting, is not for causing further dysfunction. And we can do that by understanding camera body load effectively. Can our feet go through the proper loading three dimensionally, can our hips manage this top down pressure can upper back manage that same pressure if you can, and if we can go through an assessment that can prove that then we’re in good shape for the PNS to be able to rebuild and continue lifting heavy weights and put it in putting the pounds through up or round our bodies as we want.
