Conjugate in the Clinic: Post Hamstrings Reactive Strength Injury

A simple strategy that can be used following hamstrings reactive strength injury.

We’ve been feedback that these clinical videos are very helpful to subscribers. So we want to keep them going—tell us exactly what you want to see next. Be specific. Request the cases or topics that will move your programming practice.

Case Context: Bottom Up Reactive Strength Injury

This athlete is post reactive strength injury to the hamstrings. The programming intent of this input is: synergize the neural network of absolute strength with the newly cultivated connective tissue network.

Understand the context: the bottom-up element of reactive strength—connective tissue—ruptured. Since then, we’ve used our Bulgarian strategy to stimulate the development of new tissue architecture and actively control the post-injury tissue remodeling process to mitigate suboptimal tissue formation.

This new architecture isn’t yet integrated with the neural network. This input is designed to entangle—you know conjugate the neural network of absolute strength with the connective tissue network we’ve been cultivating.

Input Explanation

In the video, we take the hamstring tissue into its shortened/regressive length and palpate the region of the rupture. If you look closely, you’ll see the deficit in the tissue—this is the exact location we’re pressing into.

From here, we initiate an IsoRamp1—a non-directional force generated from the hamstrings. Once the ramp is live, we add band tension to introduce a north-south directional force vector. The band tension creates a resonance2 that amplifies neural output into the tissue.

Conjugate in the Clinic means a conjugation of force vectors compressed into a single input.
