No.

That person should seek advice from his/her doctor, not random posters in an internet site.

Whole family is doctors.

BB.com advice -> doctor advice when it comes to working out. I'm not going to swallow whatever said, I'm asking for advices.

thanks for nothing.

Dude, people here barely know what Parkinsons is . . . and who knows how advanced it is in the person you want to help. That will make a huge difference. This is where you get actual 1 on 1 face to face advice from someone who rehabs patients like that and not random internet bs.

I understand that doctors typically don't know **** about working out - but virtually no one here knows anything about training with Parkinsons.

The best thing you can do is arm yourself with general lifting knowledge so that you recognize what advice from the doctor is founded in bro-science, and what advice is founded on practical applications for dealing with Parkinsons patients.

I know what Parkinson's is and what it does to motor control. I also know that it's effects and severity can vary among individuals, and that the symptoms don't improve but get increasingly worse over time.


Would you have rather had me to advise the person to go ahead and Squat, Deadlift, and Press? What might happen to that person if he/she lost control of the weight? Do you think that might put that person in a bad situation?

Do you not agree that the person most qualified to help this individual would be a medical professional who can deal with him/her in-person?

if you knew what it was you wouldn't advice those movements, that's dumb.

And if you knew that it gets worse over time, you would also know that you need to workout to prepare for it to get worse. If i come here for advice it's obvious what kinds of advice i want unless you've got a sub 100 iq. If there's someone who's done work with someone with neurological diseases before, then great.

"medical professionals" lol you're old. As i said, our whole family is doctors. this isn't about what doctors can do, we can dose medication, doctors doesn't learn about working out any more than doing general anatomy first year.

Again, thanks for nothing. There's obviously no one who's had clients with parkinsons here.

You've completely missed the point.

Good luck meeting whatever goals you may have in 2012.

And you're kinda dumb. What's your point?

My point is to get some some exercises or a program recommended for someone with parkinsons; i would think it's a given that he is already cleared to workout by a doctor. all i'm looking for is someone that might've had similar situations before. I'd like you to point out where i'm being stupid.

Grandpa posting over you, and yourself, are both dumb as rocks so i see my efforts are futile.

Thanks for the kind words though ironwill, don't die just yet - i'm sure you've got alot wisdom to give. lol.

Because of this thread, I just created a new folder in my subs titled "neg OP when off spread"

It kinda starts at Post #1, but definitely hits its stride at Post #3. Post #7 really caps it off, but #10 is a great follow up, too. #12 is 'meh' just because it's so predictable, but I'm sure you'll be able to take stupid to some new levels around 3rd-4th gear.

To whit:

There's obviously no one who's had clients with parkinsons here.

Clients? Who are these "clients" of which you speak? You must have this bodybuilding site confused w/ 1-800 Dial-A-Personal-Neurologist-Who's-Posting-At-Your-Beck-and-Call.com

HTH.

Youre not clever. you just typed sentences with no meaning, you come off as try hard and awkward, it's ok you belong here with the boys.. lol.

the circle jerk elitist attitude doesn't impress me, its childish and boring - parkinsons is common and youd expect PTs to be working with clients like that regularly, a neurologist doesn't have anything to do with this at all..
