Mind explaining what it is a little bit more?

I'm picturing one of those machines that vibrates a pair of 1 gallon paint cans at the hardware store. Maybe I've had too much beer tonight.

vibration plate therapy....you basically stand on a platform that vibrates either up or down and side to side or just side to side....great strength and physical therapy tool as well as stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic flow...even in static exercises

i drilled a hole and put an eye hook in the vibrating plate and i attached a bib hanger to a small home model of one of these vibration machines and just did streching/hanging

Interesting. I've wondered about adding vibration to pumping. perhaps something periodic in sync with pulse pumping.

What you're doing sounds very intense, and risky of overtraining injury.

actually it is very easy to control.....you can do it light or heavy as you want....easier than hanging

So searched quickly online... saw platforms large enough for standing or entire exercise routines (yoga, weights, stretching). Do you know the amplitude of the vibrations? I assume something like 2-5mm. What about the frequency? Some of the sites made claims for improved healing, but have you found any research reguarding improving flexibilty from doing stretches/yoga while on the plate? What non-PE exercises/treatments have you used the plate for? I think this would be of interest to other folks here too.

i have done it on a large plate...flexibility gains are amazing....that is what put the idea of using it for pe...so i just bought a cheap home model....not really the same as "wave" or "power plate" stuff......the good ones are very expensive

it helped me a lot after foot surgery.......it drains your sinuses....just any exercise you want to do can be adapted ...

try it somewhere...very impressive....

Have you considered doing a 3 month test to isolate the effect of the vibe? So keeping all things perfectly consistent (PE routine, diet, exercise, etc.) 3 weeks no vibe, 6 weeks vibe, 3 weeks no vibe.

I asked about the frequency because there's a thread by theKidd (https://www.pegym.com/forums/pe-theo...exercises.html) talking about the benefit of a periodic strech. His theory is that collagen based tissue like tunica responds better at a 1 second period (? hertz) and smooth muscle responds better at 4 second period (?Hertz). Also that most research he found suggests 48 hours of rest between 30min workouts.

I've heard that joints recover fastest with heat thearpy. Are you considering using heat pre/during exercise or on rest days?

edit: confusion on hertz... tunica/collagen at 1-2sec period (or per stretch), smooth muscle at 3-4seconds per sqeeze/hold

at this point i am doing nothing and very busy....but it sounds great

i would love to see someone try a more controlled experiment
