Thanks for advice

Best regards, Serg

Art,
I would first like to thank you for posting much of your work on this site. I am very impressed with your approach, in particular I really feel that your non-linear approach to the body is dead on. Anways I know your system works for my body and obviously for yourself. What actually interests me is something else. In your papers you mention that our shift towards a grain agricultural society severly impacted humans health. I find this interesting since I have become very aware of the serious environmental harm that comes from grain farming. I grew up on a family farm I have seen first hand what corn takes from the land. Grain farming like this is the leading cause of nitrogen pollution, topsoil erosion, and if for the unfortunate consumers of the grain it creates serious health problems. I know you are an economisty and I was just wondering if you have given your model more thought in turns of what types of agriculture it would encourage and wether these agricultural system may be more beneficial to the environment? Sorry if this is a tengent, but I'm really curious to hear you talk about the broader implications of your work. Thanks.

...or at least shorter.

Fong with due respects there's little point in re-iterating what has already been said myriad times by ADV.
Please say something amusing or original...unlike this which is neither !

We adapt. We all know this - intuitively. Adaption allows us to survive in a environment that has constantly been changing. We are complex systems. We have at our disposal adaptations that can act across a continua of time scales - ranging from thousands of years to seconds.

Adaptions like mutations are longer term - helping us to survive as a species. By contrast, short-term adaptation may strengthen a set of muscles via exercise. Some bones, even after mid-life, will continue to strengthen in response to repeated stress. Through heavy use, a piece of structure may strengthen, only to later weaken as use becomes negligible. Like a muscle, a weak bone that was once strong will more quickly return to its strengthened state.

Such short-term adaptations are based on interwoven networks of stimulus-response-feedback mechanisms. There are, of course, structural and genetic rate limiters to short term adaptation. When our desires do not lead us to structurally or chemically sound embodiments - we get injured and thwarted. Thankfully so - becuase I do not wonder if it is a good thing to be shaped entirely by our transient desires. Another such rate limiter is habituation. Habituation is a another type of short-term adaptation. If a similar stimulus is presented many times, the response on each occasion will diminish as the system becomes habituated to the input. A shrill sound can call an animal to attention, but if such a sound occurs often, each response will be less immediate and less active.

If the incoming feedback presents the same information repeatedly, the usefulness of that piece of information to our system is obviously diminished in value, so habituation gives our body a way to tune out the constant flow of the similarity. Our body is already use all the information it can cope with - more signals have little use. However, a rapid increase or decrease in the rate of that particular stimulus would cause de-habituation, and the item would once again call attention to itself.

People are able to cope with a wide variety of stimulus in parallel. Different parts are able to address more specific stimuli. Unfortunately, knowing this intellectually - is very far from implementating it practically. In fact, from a fitness perspective, implementation is the entire problem. The nature of adaptation is well known - but it is still rare the nuanced implementation. Hence, it gives me a eureka moment to recognise it reflected in Art's implementation and his explanations - taking the focus off "functional" progress and placing it on the lactic signal - for example amongst many others.

This is so much more useful than looking at how small my wrists are and working out harder or longer - whatever that means - or intellectually accepting that there is a genetic limit to my rate of gains. Art's approach is so positive and "action-able".

I have a question that just occured to me... How do you transmit practical implementations - across time and space? Many will come across these ideas in a blog or a book. How many will fully practice the implementation?

If an exercise program is not rigorous enough they do not make our bodies adapt, they are not effective - it does not gain credibility and traction. When rigorous exercise programs are effective - gaining credibility, many will try to adopt it. But because of it's qualifying rigor, many will also soon give up, get busy with life or be injured - soon discrediting a particular implementation or embodiment. Hence, massively successful fitness program has to successfully trade off low entry requirements with continued rigor balanced by increasing and faster rewards that can defeat the habituation response. Programs also need to focus attention on signals that are leading indicators of injury. Maybe there is an alternative framing to the problem.

I recall recently crossing an effective hieuristic applied to "giving" in Churches. It is described by Malcolm Galdwel's easy-to-read article "Cellular Churches" reproduced from the New Yorker. Here is the link:

Cheers!

You seem to have a knack at communicating a certain attitude towards fitness that I find most beneficial. It is scientific, I now see. Thanks very much for this post and others like it.

About olympic lifts:
Art, considering your backround in olympic style weightlifting and your preference in compound movements and lactic acid training I was wondering why you don’t do olympic lifts any more.
What do you think of doing olympic lifts for reps or time (interval training) as a way to train the lactic acid energy system?
