@TheBosnian11 13 fouls 1 yellow in the match for Bosnia. Var was inappropriately applied. The initial challenge was shoulder to shoulder and ensuing contact caused him to land on the player. This is the correct outcome. Reading and video comprehension isn’t that hard….

@DrNiravPandya Turf just amplifies the connective tissue demand vs grass surfaces.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@DrNiravPandya Or the emphasis on max strength work in other sports pushes the CNS beyond what the suboptimal connective tissue can tolerate. Soccer historically has been against lifting. Power Lifting-esque style of training is strongly engrained in US sports.

@StrengthDebates I’m strictly speaking about the snapping concentric into the stiff chain resistance.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates This is huge for sports that create moments of impact. Baseball, soccer, hockey or any striking martial art would all benefit from this. Connective tissue has its own properties from muscle. It needs to be able to rapidly stiffen to transmit the muscles forces.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates Failure is failure. You can only recruit 100% of units. The time that it takes to reach failure is important. Failing in 1:06 or less loads the fast twitch fibers preferentially. Loading times beyond that 1:06 mark will be slow twitch by nature. Intent matters.

@Toohey_sp How frequently do you alter tibial rotation to bias different lines of the hamstring?

@coachhockley @SportsmithHQ Thank you!

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@coachhockley What was the name of that podcast? I’d like to give it a listen!

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates @drmchivers It exists on a continuum for a reason🤷🏻‍♂️

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates @drmchivers Instead of just squats or calf raises. Tissue specific training for sport>sport specific training.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates @drmchivers Davis’s law is much closer to what should be applied. Now apply strength training principles to the specific tissue in need ie tendon, and then think about the types of stimuli tendons need. Length and load. Positional isometrics(length) and ECC/EQI to length facilitate that.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates @drmchivers Wolffs law applies to bones not connective tissue.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates Muscle grows on intramuscular connective tissue that is not homogeneous in length. Training at length or to length and the incorporating sport specific velocities and forces. @drmchivers substack Absolute: the art and science of human performance covers this!

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates What is the purpose for the exercise selection is what it depends on. Is it to add more mass posteriorly? Is it to lynch pin and maximally compress the CNS? The external feat of strength is just an expression of the internal environment.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates The amount of tissue they have access to is reaching its hayflick limit and the repeated stressing of the same lines of tissue has led to biological accommodation.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates I would be inclined to agree and their methods of testing strength at the combine, 225 for reps doesn’t help the argument. Regardless a high muscle output with suboptimal intramuscular connective tissue is a ticking time bomb.

[Adam Marianelli @AdamMarianelli]

@StrengthDebates What are you deloading from tho is the question? If you’re deloading to reduce cns strain then I’m not sure that changing exercises that still crush your cns make sense?
