10 Strategies to Lose Fat and Keep It Off!
Type: Theory
By Benjamin Siong – Australian Strength Performance
The growing fad of fat loss has no doubt risen to popularity but is cluttered with controversy and confusion. From exercise machines and diets to supplements and even medical protocols, each one claims to be able to provide the best solution to this issue. Yet what we see is that while some may experience initial fat loss results, more often than not, these are the same people that eventually gain the weight back and more. Our quest for this magic bullet to look and feel good naked, leads us to questions such as “Is spot reduction actually possible?”, “Does nutrition determine up to 80% of fat loss?”, and even “Can I zap cellulite away with this cream?”. These are all valid questions given the array of information we’re given through advertising. In this lecture, we aim to put all these questions and so-called ‘myths’ to rest through a more in depth examination of physiology supported by empirical evidence and clinical application. Delving into physiological concepts like effective fat mobilization and utilization, gut and microbiome health, and even hormonal balance, we examine one’s ability to effectively lose fat from a wider perspective; one that is more than just about programming and calories. Specifically, the lecture will cover 10 methods to optimize fat loss physically, physiologically and through intervention.

The Mythical Core - Myofascial Lumbar Integrity Reimagined
Type: Theory
By Paul Thornley
Traditional academic education on muscular contractions informs this process happens in isolation and then provides an appropriate force to move a joint or create structural stability thus allowing us to create motion.
This is the bedrock theory of the muscular skeletal system, backed up by the sliding filament theory which we’re all familiar with. However, this understanding missed out a most important ingredient and essential element of the party….
If there is a muscular spindle then there must then be a corresponding Fascial spindle at the same location?
Where is your Fascia? It is the most ubiquitous tissue within your whole being, it is the environment every cell & system exists & behaves within , having a plethora of roles to perform & interact amongst a symphony of coexisting systems.
Without doubt one of it’s most influential roles, second only to its relationship with the neurological system must be its relationship with its intertwined muscular system without which neither could exist or function!
So the question remains, what are you talking about when you cue “ Core” ?
