OsteoStrong Helps Athletes
Develop Muscle Strength

OsteoStrong® technology has been proven to trigger an increase in bone density. But why is this important for an athlete? In addition to protecting against fractures, skeletal strengthening in many cases eliminates limitations in terms of range of adaptation (plateau) and muscle growth.

The central nervous system has a self-protection process called neural inhibition. This process prevents muscle engagement if pain or discomfort is caused by a voluntary action. With high impact load activities, the central nervous system limits muscle force to protect the skeletal system and joints. The best way to capture this is by clenching the fist or stretching the muscles as much as possible. Under no circumstances is it possible to break one’s own bones, as nervous inhibition will not allow it.

With OsteoStrong, bone density can be raised to levels that are more than two standard deviations above what is considered normal. This means that if your body has a stronger support frame, this will allow for greater muscle activation and therefore greater muscular endurance and strength.

Consider this representation. When comparing an F1 race car to an economy car, in addition to the engine there is also a marked difference between the chassis of the two vehicles. The body of the economy car simply cannot support the power of the F1 racing engine. Similarly, the central nervous system will not allow the muscular system to become stronger than the skeletal system can support.

The osteogenic load in OsteoStrong® sessions strengthens the bones to withstand greater forces, crucial for track and field actions such as sprints and jumps. These sessions expose athletes to significantly higher forces than normal training, leading to significant improvements in bones and muscles and a reduction in neural inhibition. Alongside physical changes, neurological adaptations occur, and the nervous system learns to deal with and coordinate high-force scenarios more effectively. This leads to a reduction in neural inhibition, allowing athletes to utilize a greater proportion of their muscular strength and capacity.

Why Should Athletes Embrace Osteogenic Loading?

Athletes should embrace osteogenic loading because it offers several benefits that can enhance their performance and overall well-being. Osteogenic loading refers to a specialized form of exercise that targets the skeletal system to stimulate bone growth and density. With that in mind, here are some reasons why athletes should consider embracing osteogenic loading: system can support.

Strength and Power:

As an athlete, you know that strength and power are crucial for excelling in your sport. Osteogenic loading targets the skeletal system directly, helping you develop stronger and denser bones. When your bones are robust, they can better withstand the demands placed on them during training and competitions. This increased strength translates into improved athletic performance, enabling you to run faster, jump higher, and tackle challenges head-on.

Injury Prevention:

Injuries are every athlete’s worst nightmare. Osteogenic loading offers a proactive approach to minimize the risk of injuries. By fortifying your bones, this method acts as a natural armor, reducing the likelihood of fractures and stress injuries. With stronger bones, you can push yourself harder, confident in your body’s ability to handle the strain.

Quicker Recovery:

Athletes often push their bodies to the limit, leading to muscle soreness and fatigue. Osteogenic loading can expedite your recovery process. By strengthening your bones, it helps alleviate the stress on your muscles and connective tissues, allowing for faster healing and rejuvenation. This means less downtime and more time doing what you love.

Enhanced Performance

The improved bone density achieved through osteogenic loading positively impacts other aspects of your performance. It enhances your body’s ability to absorb impact and dissipate force, reducing the strain on your joints and muscles. This, in turn, leads to improved agility, balance, and stability, giving you a competitive edge in your chosen sport.

Adding Osteogenic Loading to Your
Training Routine

Incorporating osteogenic loading into an athlete’s training routine can be beneficial for improving bone strength, density, and overall bone health. With that in mind, here are some key considerations when incorporating osteogenic loading into your athlete’s training routine:

1. Consult with a professional

It's crucial to consult with a sports medicine specialist, physical therapist, or strength and conditioning coach who has experience in osteogenic loading and bone health. They can assess the athlete's current bone health status, provide specific recommendations, and ensure proper implementation of osteogenic loading exercises.

2. Understand the athlete's needs

Each athlete's training program should be tailored to their specific needs and goals. Factors such as age, sex, sport type, training history, and injury history should be considered when designing an osteogenic loading program.

3.Gradual progression

Osteogenic loading exercises should be introduced gradually to allow the athlete's bones and musculoskeletal system to adapt to the increased stress. Start with lower-intensity exercises and gradually increase the load, frequency, or duration over time to avoid overloading the bones and causing injuries.

4. Weight-bearing exercises

Weight-bearing exercises, where the body supports its weight against gravity, are excellent for osteogenic loading. Examples include running, jumping, plyometrics, and certain resistance training exercises. These activities place mechanical stress on the bones, prompting bone adaptation.

5.Resistance training

Including resistance training exercises can also provide osteogenic loading benefits. Exercises that involve heavy loads, such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges, place mechanical stress on the bones and stimulate bone formation.

6. Plyometric training

Plyometric exercises, also known as "jump training," involve rapid muscle contractions followed by explosive movements, such as jumping and bounding. Plyometrics can be an effective way to incorporate osteogenic loading into a training routine, as they impose high-impact forces on the bones.

7.Balance and coordination training

Incorporating balance and coordination exercises, such as single-leg movements or agility drills, can enhance proprioception and neuromuscular control while still providing some degree of osteogenic loading.

8. Proper technique and form

Emphasize the importance of proper technique and form during osteogenic loading exercises. This helps minimize the risk of injury and ensures that the targeted bones receive the desired loading stimulus.

9.Rest and recovery

Adequate rest and recovery are essential for bone remodeling and adaptation. Provide ample time for recovery between osteogenic loading sessions to allow the bones to rebuild and strengthen.

10. Regular monitoring

Regularly assess the athlete's progress by monitoring bone health markers, such as bone mineral density (BMD) measurements and biochemical markers of bone turnover. This can help evaluate the effectiveness of the training program and make necessary adjustments.

Into their training:

These improvements translate into better athletic performance, with faster sprints, longer jumps and more powerful throws.

OsteoStrong® sessions complement traditional training methods, providing a unique stimulus that promotes growth and adaptation in ways that conventional training cannot match. OsteoStrong® sessions complement, rather than replace, existing aerobic or strength fitness training programs and do not cause exhaustion, complementing existing training programs.

Tony Robbins said in 2019 that “in the future there will be two classes of athletes. Those who use OsteoStrong® in their training and those who lose!”

In conclusion, the intense forces applied during OsteoStrong® sessions stimulate a cascade of positive adaptations in the body, culminating in stronger bones and muscles, along with improved neurological functioning. For athletes, these improvements can lead to marked improvements in performance, giving them a significant advantage in competition.

Frequently asked questions

Osteostrong is not a gym. We don’t bulk up at all (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy). We work the muscle at the cellular level, increasing its density and by extension its strength , but not its volume .

Yes, many showing T-scores as low as -4 from their DXA scans do sessions at OsteoStrong. Even in these extreme cases, members have completely reversed their osteoporosis without medication. As with all medical conditions, we encourage people to consult with their physician prior to starting sessions at OsteoStrong.

Yes, and you will see impressive results by applying both methods at the same time. However, it is not advisable to exercise right before the osteogenic activation sessions . The reason is that when one exercises, especially with weights, it depletes ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate – short-term energy “fuel” inside muscle cells), which is necessary for a proper osteogenesis activation session.

We suggest the Osteostrong session precedes the gym.

People with a significant history of fatigue fractures had very good results with the activation of osteogenesis. However, you should consult your doctor before starting our program. There may be other biochemical factors that contribute to these fatigue fractures. Osteostrong does not have doctors on staff, therefore we cannot provide medical advice.

Results vary from person to person.

Here are some general rules/conclusions based on the testimonials of our members:

 

  • Joint and back pain

    Most often our members experience a significant reduction in joint and back pain within one to four months after starting OsteoStrong syndromes, and this reduction is often permanent and complete.

    If someone has arthritis due to cartilage loss, OsteoStrong sessions will strengthen the ligaments and tendons in the joint area, causing the bones in the joints to move apart. When this happens, much of the pain will subside.

    Osteogenic loading sessions have amazing results and an impressive track record of performance, but we cannot guarantee that there will be results for everyone because we simply do not know the cause of the pain. In addition, once the pain has subsided, we recommend continuing the sessions so that it does not recur.

  • Increase in bone density

    An increase in skeletal strength or bone density can only be determined by the relevant test (DXA). It usually takes 12-18 months from the time the member starts with OsteoStrong for measurable results to be seen. In some cases, results are obtained at 6 months.

  • Balance improvement

    Most people notice an initial improvement in their balance after just one or two sessions which continues as the sessions progress.

  • Muscle Strength

    Most of our members, regardless of their fitness level, feel the improvement in their overall strength in about four sessions. Regular sessions help maintain/improve strength for many years.

  • Posture

    Many members with severe kyphosis problems have resolved it in five to fifteen sessions.

Vertebral compression fractures are usually caused by sudden loading, particularly “impact” loading. This is why therapists do not use impact exercises as a method of treating osteoporosis. However, osteogenic loading was developed in opposition to this approach. We teach our members to apply loads in a slow and controlled manner, using nerve inhibition as a natural protective mechanism. One can, using an osteogenic loading device, apply abrupt loads eliminating the inherent safety of the method. However, as long as proper osteogenic loading protocols are faithfully applied and with constant monitoring of sessions by qualified session coaches, the chances of injury are infinitesimal.

Osteostrong is the only method in the world that, without exercise and dietary supplements, actively contributes to strengthening the skeletal system by activating the natural function of increasing bone density and muscle mass.

It is based on the use of four (4) robotic machines of innovative technology (Spectrum system), each of which achieves the strengthening of different parts of the human body, resulting in the acquisition of a strong musculoskeletal system.

The principle of the method is the law of osteogenic loading, which was formulated by Dr John Jaquish, using the findings of the German doctor Dr Julius Wolf, who as early as 1892 argued that bones adapt to the load – pressure applied to them. If the load – pressure on the bones is increased, then the bones reform so that over time they become stronger to cope with the increased load – pressure. Under conditions of higher pressure, bone density increases and the bones become stronger. The beneficial effects of osteogenic loading are documented in more than 25,400 clinical studies.

There are four (4) categories of people who cannot use the system:

 

  • People with muscular dystrophy – A genetic, race-related, degenerative disease of the skeletal primarily muscle and heart muscle.

  • Pregnancy after the 3rd trimester

  • Hypertensive individuals who do not control their blood pressure with medication. If controlled, there is no problem

  • People with hernias in the abdomen. Hernias in the back or even in the neck are not a contraindication, on the contrary we help them a lot.

Based on research, the ideal frequency is once a week. Bone remodeling takes time to develop. If you overload her (coming more often than once a week), you will actually slow down the process.

Through the Osteostrong method, we can apply heavy loads to our bodies in a completely safe way. When we put very heavy loads on our body, our nervous system is stimulated to a huge extent. When we stimulate our nervous system strongly and in the right way, we achieve much better proprioception. Proprioception is the connection between our nervous system and our muscles, our balance.

Yes, to some extent. The main calorie consumption is done by the muscles. In Osteostrong, we activate tissue growth in the muscle fiber and with this new tissue you may begin to process glucose more efficiently burning more calories. Despite any improvement though, 90% of weight loss always comes from proper nutrition.

Related published research (2012, Deere & Tobias) makes it clear that bones are not strengthened by conventional exercises or weight training. It proves, at the same time, that the minimum load that must be exerted to activate the growth of our bones is 4.2 times our body weight (4.2 BW). Exercising such force, outside of an Osteostrong environment , is not feasible for most people. The good news is that our exclusive Spectrum System allows members to safely apply much higher loads than the minimum required (4.2 BSP) thereby triggering the desired osteogenesis process.
