Cities Pattern overload cular readers ofthis column will know chat | ama frm proponent of free-weight training, using dumbbells, barbells, cable machines, Swiss balls and so on. There are many reasons for preferring this type of exercise ‘over machine training; here we will review one particularly good reason! Pattern Overload is the term used to describe a soft tissue injury that often results from overuse of machines or in any other environment that restrets freedom of motion. Ie can also occur when you are restricted in one or more planes of motion while performing a work or sports movement pattern. For example, a person working on a supermarket checkout may suffer from pattern overload if they always work ‘on a till that only allows them to move groceries from left to right. Pattern overload results primarily from: 3) An inability to properly share a load among the different muscles needed. ») Being isolated or restricted to a specific movement using only cone or two planes. «) Overuse of any given pattern of movement, regardless of how much freedom there isto move the joints Inability to properly load share The human body is very inteligent and economical. To protect itself from unwanted injury the body will naturally sequence the recruitment of muscles so as to optimally share Why don’t you adduct your ‘scapula prior to pulling? ‘Not another Gym. ‘Monkey! He'll probably ask if we ‘the load across as many muscles and joints az possible. For example, when performing a bent-over row, the body will elect ‘the appropriate motor sequence to divide the load among all the working muscles, allowing each working muscle to make its ‘maximum contribution when most favorable with regard to the biomechanics and neuromechanics of the motion. An example ‘of faulty load sharing can be seen in those who have been taught ‘to squeeze their shoulder blades together before performing a pull such asa lat. pull down. This faulty motor sequence disrupts load sharing by recrultng the scapular adductor muscles first, shortening them beyond the range oftheir optimal length / force relationships and leaving the scapulohumeral (arm / shoulder) ‘musculature to continue the work. This often leads to strain fof the teres major, minor and infraspinatus muscles, or pattern ‘overload. Someone who regularly performs pulling exercises in this manner will likely have a shortening of the scapulohume ‘musculature which eventually leads to faulty scapulothoracic rhythm, This results in shoulder blades that prematurely rotate
