Travis Ortmayer Segment on IFSA Broadcast.

[Michael George]

There was a short Segment on a IFSA broadcast where Travis Ortmayer discusses the progression of training philosophies and the steady improvements of the athletes over the years. He started the discussion how the advancement of the athlete is due to the advanced training methods. Stating that weight training pushed in the right direction and under the right program can actual calcify bone structures thickening bones and making them denser and also strengthening connective tissue and tendons providing a stronger support system. I had the pleasure of having him answer this through an email but he still didn't cite where this information came from and maybe more information on this as I have never head this before from anyone. I am not discrediting what he said or not saying it's untrue, has anyone heard what I am refering to and have any more information on this. Thanks.

its just common anatomy knowledge on how the body adapts to outside forces that are put on it. The bone will remodel it self to fit whatever purpose it needs, after a couple years the bones will have started to adapt to heavy training, after 5-10years it will be even more adapted. This in turn with proper training and rest, will result in stronger tendon attachments denser bones, that will provide stronger levers and allow for more pull form the muscle, and thicker stronger tendons that will also allow for more force without injury.

Its fairly common knowledge for people who study physiology

Who is this Ortmeyer you speak of?

Did I mispell his name?
Brandon thanks for the info. I could always learn more physiology.

True, it's pretty common knowledge that wouldnt exactly need to be cited. That why old ladies are often urged to take up some form of resistance exercise to increase bone density (bones become more brittle with age) And tendons and ligaments do get stronger with use, just not as quickly as muscles due to their lesser blood supply

Very Good Explanation!!!

[Barney Shannon]

I had an A & P professor in college that was also a MD. He said that you could tell right away by the thickness of the bones during human disection if a guy spent his life doing heavy manual labor or not.

[TEXAS STONEMAN]

These guys are right. I learned a lot about this stuff in college. I also have learned a lot about it by talking to the experts, watching certain programs on TV, reading about how to help the elder generation keep bone density, paying attention to my own body, etc. I just sort of put all that info together in one explanation. I really couldn't tell you where all of it came from.



It's OrtmAyer... :BB:

Hey Travis, thanks for chiming in on the issue. Sorry for the mispelled name :-(. Was going on a lot of what was spelled online. What is going on with the IFSA deal? I heard they are auctioning their equipment becasue they couldn't pay their transport fee during the move to the world championships?

[TEXAS STONEMAN]

I don't know what's going on. I wish someone would at least send me an email. If they want to keep their athletes they need to keep us informed on what they are working on. It's a shame because they really have a great system in place.

Hey Travis.......Call Nick Best. Him and I were discussing this awhile ago...
